Ono of the most Important problems foi
ovury family of Fnrgo nnd eastern Dakota
generally Is cheaper fuel.
Thorp Is an Immense amount of lignite
coal underlying whole counties on boll
Kales ot the Missouri. It la of such qualltj
that rill the mills ot North Dakota USD It
in'1 families In the vicinity of the mine :
(1 urnd wholly upon It ns a fuel , says tin
Minneapolis Tribune.
Tlio question of developing the mines nm
Hhipmrnt tu nil parts of the state , as wcl
ns extensive portions of Minnesota nm
South Dakota , narrows down to the qucs
lion of cheap transportation.
Kvew ut present freight rates there Is
Rome lignite coal shipped as far cast n :
Fargo Though cheap at the surface ol
the shaft , It Is hlgh-prlccd by the time II
reaches the eastern counties. Out with
cheaper haul the Red river valley nnd coun
try eastward would look more definitely
westward Instead of eastward to far ofl
I'cnnsylvnnla for coal tupply.
This would circumvent the coal barons
nnd trusts , who now bleed every burner ol
coal , for so much of central Dakota Is un
derlaid with coal that , If a trust should buy
up townships of present farms by the hun
dred , there would still be plenty of farmer !
who would sink u shaft and supply the
public at fair prices.
The lignite coal ot North Dakota , as tc
quality , Is worth about 70 per cent the
value of the average coal of the Unltcii
Stiitrs North Dakota produced in 1892
40,72.1 tons. In the ratio of her populntloi :
she should have consumed about 900,000 tone
of average coal , or 1,288,570 tons of her own
coal. The 000,000 tons of eastern coal cosl
North Dakota $7,000.000. The 1,288,570 torn
of her own coal could bo mined and shlppeel
at n cost ot $3,775,000 , a saving ot nearly
halfThis
This development of home Industry would
employ 1,000 men 215 days to mine It. Fur
ther. If the transportation companies can be
Induced to reduce the rate on coal to the
Twin Cities , n million tons moro of coal
would bo consumed and many thousand
miners employed. The extent ot coal de
posits Is beyond comprehension. It Is safe
to say that over -10,000 square miles of this
state nro underlaid with coal. Citizens in
excavating for cellars sometimes reach the
coal vein , und often on other levels reach
the same while digging or boring their wells.
The same veins crop out In places along
the Missouri river bluffs and other ravines ,
IjVcn ns far cast ns Cassolton a man has
just struck a four-foot vein at a depth oi
110 feet , another at Colfax , Ulchland county ,
at the fame depth , another at Hunter
reached a four-foot vein at ninety-eight feet.
These testa have been made In localities
sulllclcnt to prove the vast area us stated
Is underlaid with coal. This Immense
yield has been conservatively placed at 500-
ooo 000,000 tons enough to supply the
United States for 2,000 years. The problem
Is Shall this Immense resource still re-
i main under the farms of Dakota , and her
1 people continue to pay out their wheat
% money to coal trusts of the east nnd to
eastern roads and steamship companies for
a long haul.
STRUCK IT RICH.
Frank Ilond , recently from Idaho county ,
brings report of on Important gold find in
the Little Giant mine , owned by ex-Governor
AVIllay and George Relbold , says a Ilolsc
special to the Salk Lake Tribune. This
mine has been worked profitably for many
years , but Relbold had a theory that he
could , by deep sinking , catch the main voln
below the drifts. Accordingly ho com
menced , sinking , tunneling and drifting with
u force of men last fall , continuing the work
during the winter. A few days ngo thjy
struck n rich body of fine block ore , 3-500
pounds of which yielded $2.700 In gold. .Mr
Kelbold has uncovered 115 feet of the ledge.
The discovery has attracted the attention ol
numbers of mining men now In this city ,
who will visit the Warren : , as soon ? .a the
weather tuttles.
DISCOVERED TIN.
Cataract mining district Is well known on
account of the gold , silver , lead and copper
contained In Its many mines , and now
another valuable mineral Is added to the list.
A claim was located lately In this locality
which the discoverers claim Is rich In tin ,
says the Helena Independent. It Is on the
.f divide between Cataract creek nnd High Ore
* gulch and shows a well defined ledge four
ieot wide between walls of granite , nnd goea
a high per cent In those metals above named.
It was ono of these fortunate dlscoverlea
made by prospectors who nt first did not
know the exact kind of mineral the lead con
tained. For years past In the gulches
below placer tin has been found nnd the
Hinull pieces of wash were kept ns specimens.
M. L. Howctt hunted the mountain sides
persistently for the ere body and finally dis
covered It In an accidental manner. The
claim Is owned by M. L. Hewctt and O. A-
lining. Mr. Hewett has spent n good
ninny years In this camp and has , had faith
in the outcome when nearly every one else
had given up nil hope.
WILLOW CRKUK GOLD.
A number ot miners anil prospectors from
"Willow Crook have been in town during
the past few days nnd bring Information of
rich gold finds along that stream , says the
Denver News. They claim to have a blanket
voln from throe Inches to four tout wide , with
rich rock both ubovo nnd below , extending
over nn unknown stretch of country. It Is
claimed to assay as high as $558 nnd $551
to the ton In ono case , und five other assays
from another claim assayed $110 per ton.
The voln Is within ten feet of the surface.
The gold Is not free milling. It docs not
contain very much silver , In fact hardly
any. They sent ere to ono nssayer and he
wrote back nnd wanted to go In with the
miners on shares , but they refused. The
minors call It tclllnum gold. The lowest nssay
yet Is said to bo $7 , but they say that It is
of such a nature that some nssayers do not
ussay It properly. Thuro Is gold In the sands
of Willow cro'h , but they could newer find
where It came from until they tried pros
pecting In the formations where they nro
now , which , before , they thought was not
worth looking nt , and found this rich min
eral. They say that Willow creek pays to
placer mine. In fact , Gold run , one of the
gulches whore this ere comes from , Is being
placer mined successfully und has been for
yearn on a small scale.
These discoveries have created much e-x-
clteniont In the park , und when the snow Is
off and the range open a big rush of pros
pectors may bo expected.
STRUCK IN THU LA 1'LATAS.
What promises to bo the biggest strike
made In the La I'latas has been made pub
lic. At any rate the surface showing is the
best , nnd the people of Durungo nro much
. worked up over It. The new discovery Is
reported from near La Plata City , but the
owners would not give the exact location.
The Denver News says It Is owned by Wll-
llnm R. Marmuduko and James and Joe
IkMTcrnmn. The ) vein Is nbotit four feet wide ,
and u streak of quartz from four to six Inches
Is filled with wlro nnd sheet gold of a purely
free milling character. From 100 pounds of
this qunrU Mr. Murmuduko poundiM out
lx and a half ounces of gold , and the proof
of this llos In the fact that the yellow metal
U on exhibition at the First National bank ,
und also a sample of quartz , which shows
the gold. It la said the vein matter outside
of the rich streak will run from two to three
ounces In gold to life ton.
RICH FINDS IN NWV MKXICO.
There Is a prospect ot a rush for the now
placer fields In New Mexico , which nro
located about sixteen mllea from Tres I'lod-
rus station , on the Rio Grande railway.
Word has been received from R , S. Nichols ,
_ an old-time placer miner , that It U the
rlchrat diggings ho over saw and In a letter
to the Denver Times ho states that ho
actually v&w men taking out $1 worth of
gold In an hour with rockers. Nichols
writes that ha took a pau ot dirt and washed
out o\rrr \ COO colon ) , The nvi > MRe run Of
th dirt Is about $2 per ynrd nn it comes
The new field h located nt the con
fluence of tlio Rio Hondo with ( ho Rio
Grandn and extends north to a point near
the Colorado lino. Nichols' letter was
written from Mclg's camp , no the location
IK now known , llultc a number of pros
pectors leave for the camp today nnd others
are preparing to follow.
Camp equipage Is being shipped via. the
Rio Grande express to Trea I'ledraa for
( ho new camp nnd arrangements have been
made to put on n stage line nt once , con
necting with the Rio ( Iranilc trains.
PROOP.USS AT DUI10IS.
Dubols camp , In the Goose creek mining
district , In , Guiinlson coiinty , Is becoming
one of the well known producing camps In
DIP state. In November It had but throe
cnhlns and fifteen prospectors. Now there
are 117 houses nnd a population of 700
peoples , with nearly 100 claims opened. The
Carpenter group , on Gold hill , shipped a
car load of ore to Denver last month which
ran $2,178 to the ton. The snow Is now
nil gone. The camp Is twenty-six miles
from Gunnfson and may bo reached from
Kezar Splncro or Gate View.
NKW ROAD INCORPORATID.
Articles of Incorporation for the Chicago ,
Ynnkton & Southwestern railway have
been filed with the county recorder , says n
Lomars dispatch to the Sioux Falls Argin-
Loadcr. The corporators are : Joseph R.
Hanson and S. 1) . Coulson of Yankton , A.
M. Holton and Robert A. W. James of Chicago
cage nnd Charles Whltlock , sr. , of Park
Rldgo , III. The capital stock In the state
Is $800.000. 10 per cent of which is paid up.
The articles provide for the building of a
line of road from Lemurs , la , , to Yanklon ,
said line not to vary more than ten miles
from n direct line between the two places.
The articles also stipulate that the general
olllces shall bo at Lemars , and that twenty-
five miles of the road shall bo In Plymouth
county nnd the balance In South Dakota.
For some time surveyors have been nt
work between this place and Yankton , nnd
It Is believed by these acquainted with
the Incorporators that the long-talkcd-ot ex
tension of the Central from this place to
Yankton will soon bo under way.
TO 1100M PIERRK.
Arrangements have been made for the
sinking of nn artesian well adjoining the
Locke hotel In this city and turning the
hotel Into a sanitarium , says a Pierre spe
cial to the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. The
wonderful medicinal qualities of the Indian
school artesian well had demonstrated that
the artesian water underlying this iclty
will make Pierre a famous health resort.
The water as It conies from the well has
a temperature of 95 degrees and makes it
very pleasant for bathing purposes. The
work of sinking the new well Is to bo
commenced In n few weeks. Dath houses
and a plunge bath are to bo put In.
It la also expected that a vein of gas
similar to the Indian school well will bo
tapped , and In that event the hotel will
be lighted and heated from the escaping
gas. The well Is to bo put down by n com
pany composed of the leading business
men of Pierre.

WEALTH IN" THE DUMPS.
What Poor IVojilo 1'liul of Value In the
ICufiiM ! of tliu City.
The scavengers of a city as largo as Omaha
are not altogether the men who are paid for
keeping the city clean , in fact the paid
scavengers only clean up the stuff that is
absolute refuse matter and night soil.
Any day in the year , with the probable ex
ception of Sunday , old men , women and
children of all ages may bo seen gathering
up stuff that has been thrown away and
carrying It oft In sacks , after which it is
assorted and put to various uses. All Is fish
that comes to their net , and nothing seems
to escape their observation.
Around the coal and wood yards , In the
railroad switch yards , around new buildings
and anywhere there may bo any building
going on these scavengers may bo seen. They
gather up stuff that will burn and use It for
cooking or to heat the little shanties In which
they live. -
At the homes ot some of the moro industri
ous may bo found good sized piles ot fuel , and
during the cold winter months when those
unfortunate tellers have to hustle through
snow and Ice to get enough fuel to keep from
freezing to death , some of the kind-hearted
brake-men throw off n big chunk of coal to
them occasionally , and for this little act of
kindness receive the blessing of the lucky old
crone who Is fortunate enough to pick It up.
The ash barrels , old scrap heaps , boxes
filled with refuse of all kinds are explored
by these people and they always manage to
find something \\hlch Is of use to them.
They gather up scraps of Iron , brass , copper ,
pieces of cloth , cast off clothing and shoes ,
tin cans , pieces of wire , old nails , bricks and
pieces of stone which may fall from wagons.
These articles are taken to their homes and
carefully sorted out Into separate piles nnd
kept until tlrcy have secured enough to make
a respectable load or sackfull and then they
sell the stuff to dealers in scrap Iron , old
clothing and such stuff.
They wear the shoos and clothing which
they cannot sell and straighten out the wlro
and nalla , which also IIml a sale In the junk
shops. The bricks nnd stone are used In
making their hovels moro nearly storm proof
nnd comfortable , and , In fact , some ot them
have built their shanties out of the scraps ,
sticks and stones picked up hero nnd there.
Many of them take the tin cans which they
find nnd melt them apart , using the pieces to
cover their roofs nnd make their places of
residence fire , wind nnd water proof. In
melting these cans the solder runs down
Into the ashes , where It Is gathered up and
melted'lnto lumps , after which It Is sold to
persons who have use for cheap solder , or
clso they make It Into un alloy similar to
babbit metal.
The refuse from dressmaking and tailoring
establishments and dry goods stores Is sorted
out and many of the pieces are used to patch
their clothing , so that some of their garments
have almost as many pieces and colors In
them as did Joseph's famous coat of olden
times.
Old papers are gathered up and sold to
dealers for use In the manufacture of cheaper
grades of paper , and the hair from the rear
of barber shops and elsewhere Is not wasted ,
going to make cushions and the like.
The refuse and partially decayed fruit from
the commission houses Is carefully sorted
over , the rotten parts cut and washed away
and the remainder used for food. The salt
und sugar sticking to thu barrels sot out from
the grocery stores Is greedily gathered up
nnd used for eating and cooking purposes , so
It seems as If thcso unpaid scavengers ) did
the most ot the work In keeping the city
clean after nil ,
