VIII b" development Of no small
magnitude. The Paouiau says:
\ deal was cousumatrd the early
part 0f this week by which Charles
Oliver Of Paouia, sold his valuable
property about one mile up the river
from the town Of Somerset to Clin-
ton l.. Oliver and others Of Kansas
City, Missouri. This property has
long been known as the Sylvester coal
bank, and is known to be one Of the
most valuable pieces Of coal property
OF its size in the country. The tract
Is eighty acres entirely undcrlaid with
n fine grade Of bituminous coal, much
Of il Of an excellent cokeiug quality.
1t is also said TO be the best black
smithing coal in Colorado.
Government geological reports
claim that there is u total of 64 feet
Of coal on this property. Two veins
have been opened, one of which is
22 feet and the other, Il feet in thick
ness.
While no definite announcement has
been made as to the use Of this prop
erty is put to, II Is understood that a
plan is being considered to install
, modern cokeing ovens of the type
which save the coal tax products, dye
stuffs, and other valuable chemical by
products.
The consideration is reported to
have been $4,000.
While at this time, it is impossible
for the Paonian to give full details OF
this big deal, looks as though, il
present plans are carried out, that the
whole North Fork valley will be bene-
fitted by this enterprise. Generally
speaking, people do not realize the
value of good cokeing coal, or how
scarce it is. We would say off-hand,
that the closest coke ovens to Grand
Junction are over three hundred miles
distanct. With the cokeing coal and
the by-products Of this coal, we may
see one of the largest industries in the
state of Colorado, right here in the
North Fork valley.

NUMBER OF CARS OVER BLUE
MESA ROUTE EXCEEDS 1000

That the automobile traffic of the
1922 season has exceeded 5000 cars
over the Rainbow route is proven from
figures kept by Miss Hazel Berry at
the Half Way house on Blue Mesa
Her record is 1926 autos passing that
point, and Of course, does not include
the through travel which went over
Black mesa, and via Crested Butte.
Miss Berry's letter follows:
CimarTon, Colo, Nov. 6, 1922
Henry F. Lake,
Gunuison, Colo.
Dear Sir:
I'm sending you the number of cars
passed since the 18th of May. There
has been 4,2s6 cars and 81 wagons.
We are going out the last of this week
so can't keep track of them any more

ANOTHER DISAGREEMENT
IN SAGUACHE CATTLE CASE

The case of Gottheff and holland, ct
al. VS.. Pat O'Fallon, ct al, commonly
called the G1nnison-Saguache cattle
case, came up for trial on Tuesday
morning, October 3lst, in the district
court AZ Saguache, Judge Wiley pre-
siding. Four days We're consumed in
the trial, it going TO the jury about IL
o'clock Friday evening. The case was
hotly contested on both sides and the
jury again disagreed and was finally
discharged by the court. 1t is reported
that the jury stood nine to three in
favor of the defendants.
Besides the seven defendants, a
number of witnesses attended the trial
from this county, to tn financial bene-
eft Of the Saguache hotel, which was
Gunnison headquarters.
This is the second trial of this case,
the first about year ago, also re-
sulting in disagreement. The case
involves claims for damages on the
part of Gotthelf and holland, it being
charged that these damages resulted
from driving their cattle off of their
usual range. The defendants claim
that all the cattle We're picked up on
the Gunnison range and simple driven
over the agreed line between the two
ranges, and that if any damage result
ed, they We're not liable II would
seem that after the expense and in
convenience resulting from the two
trials, that the case ought to be dis
missed.

Thursday, Nov. Q.
While the blizzard Saturday and
Sunday made it tough on the cattle
still on the ranges, we fared luckily,
Judging from accounts of the storm in
other sections.
Cattlemcn returning from market
report decided drop in prices and
owing to lack Of buyers, there Is not
much chance of improvement in con-
ditions.
Roads up this way are in bad con-
ditiou owing 20 the recent storms and
no work having been done this year.
We are all hoping for a little road
work being done in this locality next
year.
Election was very quiet and owing
to bad roads and stormy weather,
not a very large vote was polled. Ap-
parently the voters choose their can
didates irrespective of party.
Our little neighborhood was great
ly shocked Tuesday when word came
down from the O-C mine that Dewey
Stokes had been instantly killed by
= cave in. Dewey was universally
liked. He was young man of ster-
ling qualities and had been in this
locality for several years. He had n
host of friends who join in extending
their heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved ones left to mourn his un-
timely death.

of the U. S. Medical department of
U. S. army, visited Redstone the latter
part of last week to look over the
Redstone property and Hot Springs
with view of taking them over for

springs contain wonderful medicinal
properties.

ROCK WORK FINISHED.

The work OF macadamiZlng
the streets of Cottonwood was
finished Saturday evening and
the rock crusher closed down.
The $4,000 voted by the citizens
of Cottonwood last year for this
work has all been expended and
while it was not sufficient to
complete the entire program as
outlined the sum was sufficient
to complete most of the task.
The streets are now graveled to
the Hussman Lumber yard, ow-
ing to the shortage of funds The
Farmers Union Warehouse and
w. B. Hussman each made a
substantial donation to complete
the work that fer. The con-
tractor, Felix Martzen. COM

cipated by many for the money

tonwood are now in excellent
shape and we doubt if anyone
regrets the money expended for
this needed improvement.
