With the advent of snrinc weather. work of development will be resumed in eally been suspended since tho rainy eeawin began. The only extensive development work that i known to have been done since January has been some tunneling in the Columbia county mines by tho Ophir Mining Company, w itnin me past lew weeks this com nan V has done U00 feet of tuuueling and tound a 58-inch vein at a vertical depth of from 000 to 800 feet. Analysis of thi coal snow the loilow ing result: Moisture lfl8 Volatile combustible mat tar 35.20 Fixed carbon 87.82 Ash and it color 15.00 Sulphilr 80 One hundred parts of raw cual give tho following coke results: Coke 47.72 Composite carbon 78.25 Ash.. 21.75 Sulphur 80 Phosphate 0033 This company intend to work its mines for all there is In them. The coal fields of Oregon, so far aa yet known, are all west of the Cascade range, and are mostly in the Coast range. Home, however, are on the western foot hills of the Cascades. There are four well-defined fields: The Upper Ncha lem, in Columbia county; the Lower Nehalem., in Clatsop county; the Ya quina, in Lincoln county, aud the Coos Bay, in Coo county. Outcropping in other parts of the state, when examined and developed, result in great richness. The Upper iNehulem coal field, in Co lumbia county, extends northeast and southwettt, a distance of thirteen miles, and is about two miles wide. The whole area la about twenty sqnare miles. This contains two beds of coal, one of six feet and the other of nine feet in thick ness. If upon teats thi proves to be good fuol, there is a demand (or it in Portland and othor Oregon cities at the present time. There is no way to got it out, as thore ia not evon a good wagon road for twenty miles. The Lower Nehalem field is situnted near the county line of Clatsop and Til lamook counties. -The Lower Nehalem Hold Is situated near the county line of Clatsop and Tillamook counties. The field U five miles long and the coal is of good quality, but present development has oiilv shown a thickness of twenty two inches. Telegram. Would Smash the Club. If members of the "Hay Fever Asso ciation" would use Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption, the club would soon go to pieces, for it always cures this malady, and asthma, the kind that bailies the doctors, it wholly drives from the system. Thousands of once-hopeless sutlorer from consumption, pneu monia, bronchitis, owe their lives and health to It. It conquers grip, aaves the little ones from croup and whooping cough, and is positively guaranteed for all throat and lung troubles. 50c, $1.00. Trial bottle free at the St. Helens phar macy.
