COAL IN THE NORTHWE8T.
Mlnlna- Imluttrr Increaalnir Tearly
In Ut tt of W.alilnatoo.
At the World's I'alr In Chicago tb
State of Washington exhibited a chunk
of coal weighing twenty-flve ton. It
excited considerable Interest because
those were the young daya of Import
ant mining In that State; nnd the fa
cine coatt Is not nble to boast of turb
enormous coal rtaourcea as are found

Tbe geological turvey of Washing
ton baa Just published n map showing
the distribution of tbe coal Melds In
tbe State. One may tee at a glance
that all the coal field yet dlM-ovcrcd
are situated quite conveniently to the
sea.
They extend In a broken line from
tbe Canadian boundary to the Colum
bla Hirer. One group Is situated on
or near the sen, a little above tbe
northern end of I'uget Sound; nnotber
group Ilea to the mat of Seattle and
Tncotna, and allll other Adds are south
of I'uget Sound.
Altogether there are seventeen fields
which are contributing more or lesn to
the coal supplies. Some of them are
entirely within tbe I'uget Sound basin,
aud others He between It and tbe foot
hills of the Cascades. It la fortunate
for Washington, which la not overbur
dened with railroads, that her coal
fields are so conveniently situated for
the water transportation of tbe fuel.
It has been luild tbat tbe coal of tbe
I'BcIflc coast Is not of a auperlor qual
ity, and this Is true. Hut Washington
mine a great deal of coal of the mosl
useful kinds.
Last year Washington produced tbe
largest quantity of coal ever mined
tbore. There waa no very Important
production before 18S0, but nearly ev
ery year alnce then tbe quantity mined
baa Increased. It amounted last year!
to 2.C00.7S9 short tons. I

latter had then under him a splendid

proudly made the boast tbat he would
soon capture Richmond. In quick
succession the Confederates met and
defeated him at Cedar Mountain, Hull
Run and Chantllly. crossed the Poto
mac, near Lccsburg, and concentrated
their forces at Frederick.
During his brief campaign Pope had
lost 30,000 men, 8 generals killed,
SO pieces of artillery and 20,000 stand

D.OOO men and 5 generals.
Pope was promptly relieved of his
command and McClellan was again
made commander of the army of the
Potomac. McClellan, after reorganiz
ing the broken forces turned over to
blm by Pope, moved out to give bat
tlo to Gen. Lee. The right wing was
commaniled by Hurnslde, the center by
Sumner, and the left by Franklin. Lee
retired from Frederick and took up a
strong position In front of Snarpsburg,
with his front protected by Antletnm

Kattle of Antletam,
On the afternoon of September 15 the
Union forces took up their position
In front of the Confederates, tbe Antle
tam creek separating the two armies,
A heavy cannonading by the Federals
pened tbe proceedings the following
day. and lu tbe afternoon Gen. Hook
er's corps was sent by McClellan to
force a passage across the Antletnm,
at tbe extreme right of one of tbe four
stone bridges spanning tbe stream.
Hooker crossed by the upper bridge,
beyond the range of Confederate Are,
and was soon engaged with the Con
federate left under Hood. He forced
tbe latter back and, being re-enforced
during tbe night by Mansfield's corps,
was thus Iu good position to resume
operations tbe next day.

The scene now changed to the ex

Hurnslde had orders to cross the Antle

proaches to which were commanded by
the Confederate Are. He suffered
heavily lu attempting to reach the

BEAR BLOCKED HIS PATH.
Man Wat Willing- to Glva Bruin th
Whole Lo-, but II Couldn't.
Conductor Dave Houston, of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, who Is tak
ing a ten days' vacation at Seaside.
had a thrilling experlcnco with a big
bear which be will not soon forget. Ho
only told a few of tbe Incidents, ns he
desired to keep It quiet, but the story
leaked out. Conductor Houston Is a
great fisherman, and never lets an op
portunity slip to cast the line. He
had hardly got settled at the seaside
when be went out on the Necanlcunt
river to have a fish all by himself. He
made his way through the brush until
he came to a log, one end of which pro
jected out Into the creek. "That's the
very place," thought tbe conductor,
and, adjusting his line and pole, he
crept out on tho log, where he found
himself perched above the cool water
of Necanlcum creek. Houston lighted
his tried and trusty pipe and then catt
his Una. He fished and smoked per
haps an hour without getting a bite.
Suddenly tbero was a movement In
the bushes back of lilm, and then be
felt the log he was sitting ou tremble.
Instinctively the conductor turned
around, when to his amazement be
gazed Into tho face of a big black
bear. The latter soemed to be sizing
him up and estimating how much of a
meal the conductor would make, and
whether he would "scrap" when It
camo to the point. For the conductor
there seemed no escape. Tho bear sat
complacently on the shore end of the
log, and It was not possible for Con
ductor Houston to get past the mon
ster. The bear held hlni there for sev
eral hours before a hunter came along
and killed tho animal. Tbe bear
weighed 250 pounds when dressed.
Conductor Houston now has a few
more gray hairs In his head as a result
of his experience. Portland Oregonlau.
