QUANTITIES OF COAL'

Conditions Here Similar to Those in
Pennsylvania a Century Ago Big
Profit in Mining Advice to Fanners
With Coal Veins Upon Their Lands.
There is a lot of. coal in Oregon.
Conditions that exist in this state to
day aro similar to those that obtaiued
in Pennsylvania a hundred years ago.
The laud is covered by a dense growth
of timber and betweeu the giant firs
there is a luxuriant undergrowth that
makes it almost impossible to study
the charatcer of the country.
But one thing we do know there is
coal in Oregon. How much it is not
possible to estimate, because no one
kuows. But where it has been opened
it is of commercial grade aud it is
milking money for the operators.
Profit in Coal.
Back in Payette county, Pennsylva
nia, farmers within tho last year have
sold the coal beneath tho surface, iu
one vein (there are three) for as high
ns $3000 an aero, ami still retain the
right to the other two veins and the
furm, on the surface of which they till
the soil the same as ever. Have yon

Bituminous Coal.

j What Cooking Coal Is.
(e) Coking Coal is a semi bituminous
fuel which becomes soft and pasty when
heated. Little bubbles appear in the
liter, in which blowholes appear and
out of which gas blows, frequently with
la slight hissing sound, as it burns. Bi

which is a valuable and high priced fuel.
It is worth more than the original coal,
gives better heut. is easier to regulate,
keeps longer, causes less trouble, lenves
practically no clinker, is clean and is
handled to advantage fur heating, par-
, t.icularly iu tumaces for domestic pur

innil furnish l.lentv nf heal, to a house
in the coldest kind of weather that Or
egoll will ever experience.
Lignite Partly Formed Coal.
Lignite is partially formed coal,
which contains considerable moisture.
It burns easily, but under ordinary cir
cumstances gives off little heat. After
exposure it cracks ami breaks, and iu
, liurning it splits along parallel planes.
' Irilinarilv it does not give off a great
amount of lient. If bmken to si.es

that of an orange, good results may be
obtained

i The coals so far found in Oregon are

above, given good draft, with the ash
kept well cleared from beneath the
grate, it will burn well nnd afford ex

Coal in Oregon.
Coal is found in this state, tnntlv in
the cnat range, and close to water, that
of I'oos county being the most exteu
sive he.1 known. The deposits there1
have a length nf :ui and a width of 11
miles. These figures are from a report
by the l'uite.1 Suites geological survey..
Other fields are the 1'pper Xehalem, in i
Columbia county; the Lower Nehalem.j
in Clatsop and Tillamook cnuntico; the
laquiua field ill Lincoln and the Eck
ley and Shasta-Costa fields in Curry
county. Veins exist also in Southeast
