Into Wild Hoisovnlloy feonio of llicso veins

and of good qualltj
Hut tiio belief hns existed tlmt , somewhere
in this rilstt let , would bo found a vein of coal
which would surpass all others and such n
"vein has icu-nlly buun louilcd onu niilo from
Felix , nnd is now being opened to supply
winter tr.iilo This bonanza is kno\\ as the
II istler inlnonnd Is being operated by the
Fulix Mln'ni ? compiny.
The work of development is being pushed
tin taplilly as possible , nnd the < oal already
taken out Is pronounced bj exports to bo
fully equal , If not superior , to any coal vet
discovered In Wioming. It is a flno steam
coal , as IMS been proven bj lepcated tests
under tlio supetvision of practical engineers
Coke makers from Pcnnsylvanli and from
Kngland have pronounced it to bo tlio best
unit cleanest loklngtoal they have over
seen ' 1 ho supply is inoxhaustlblo , us the
voln Is twcntj-four foot in thickness , and Is
cortninl.v tmderl.vlng a largo tract , but its
extent is difllcult to asccitaln on account ot
the stoop ill | > of the voln , wliloh bus a down

It Is linden teed that castoin capitalists
Are quietly negotiating for a puiehnso of the

Touched It is impossible at this time to Rive
any names 'I Ms coal will bo sold nt differ
ent points in Nebraska at about the same
rati's as the Inferior grades now being used
Much oj thi ) coal In Wild Horse mining
district takes llro spontaneously after being
mined , this being duo to absence of water in
the vein. The coal from tlio Hustler mlno
has been thoioughly tiled in that inspect ,
and Is found to bo proof Against spontaneous
combustion
'iho Telix company bollovcs it hns

will provo the mine to bo the beat coal over
