started Inlluedlately on the furnl of
Elisha Helllll'ele ' , nurth of that place.
The work will be In chllrgo of IIl1rry
J ( . Brown of this city , who struck
ten felt ! of a l1Iedlum grade of hllnl
oal t11el'o on L'elJruury 27 while bor.
fng a well fur Mr. HmlllUele. Several
ules arc to be sunk at places nlt far

or spreads out as a regu-
areln. .
A variety or plang for brlllging up

Ole concerning Its quality have
bcen suggeste . Olle of these which
Reems to mcet wi th favor is as fol-
.ows : A large drill Is tu be used un-
in the coal Is ellcouutered , when ili
will be tuken ouli and a smaller olle
bsed In Its place. Wben the lattcr
111l has penetrated through the coal
land to some distance below It , it
1Ii In tUln be remuved alld a section
bf pipe or the same diameter lowered
to the bottom attached to a rope.
, U'hen olJe of the drllls wlli be put to
rork again , causing pieces of the
( Wal to IJreak oil and fall Into the
ube , which Is to be closed at the
bottom. In this way good slzl'd frug-
/ . . hnents of the deposit may be brought

osed by 11. O. Drown , fatber of tbe
, oung man who is superintending tbo
IProspectlng operatluns.
: Tbo well which was bored at the
hne of the coal discovery has been
compleled , water ha\'ln. . : been struck
jat a depth of about 250 feet. .rlw re- I
I ort tbat a second vein of hard coal
bad been reached was based on er- i
I''neous conclusions. Tbo drlll did
IILrlke a black substance several feet
tillcl. , and this was thought to bo
. ] ore coal , but careful scrutinizing
IIbowed that It was notiling but slate.
I It Is the unshaken belief of aU wbo
