QUANTITIES OF COAL' ; EXIST IN OREGON 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 a crop that will bring you money faster tnu man peria)s v0l, have a few lumps of ,.al on the ground, or the thin edge i(f u n,(,f )r SPlim of it 8til.ks out tmiU(,, . t-li rock at some point whero , fortll,,t ;t)I1 j upturned.

(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 j tuminous conl when brought to a red Rooms. , ,t..,t is converted into coke because the ,-obitile biases ore released and escape. gase leaving the fixed et.rbon in the coke 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 1 pnseq. for the coke will last all night 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 ranging from that of n hickniv nut to that of an orange, good results may be obtained for it liuriiH well, oives off considerable heat and leaves a white ash. in which, as iu the original coal, the Woo.lv .structure f the pent from ll"'n " ' "emi. niny he observed, luirniiig there in a slight odor of an j organic character, hut not unpleasant, i The coals so far found in Oregon are 'lignite. Formerlv. it wns not used to ! any great extent, but as it is better un , derstood. it is coming into more general i use. because nf its cheapness as coin ; pared with other grades, though in the ! very nature of things, mure of it must : lie burned tn obtain the same amount ,,f ,t a, m,.,v be developed with either anthracite, bituminous, canned coal or coke. But if broken as mentioned above, given good draft, with the ash kept well cleared from beneath the grate, it will burn well nnd afford ex .client results. 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 ern Morrow aud in tho Johu Day val ley. P. J. Arkins in the Telegram. New Bank for Astoria. ASTORIA, Or., March 14.
