The Kind Yob Han Always Bocgfet Slgnatar of tv ' SOUTH YAMHILL COAL JH5E. Mr. L. W. House and his associate visited the Yamhill Coal Mine last Friday. The morning was rather forbidding, but they Judged that the half Inch snow on the frost crusted ground would make walking better than the sloppy mud. The days ex perience confirmed the good judg ment of the prosjiectors. Beyond Forest Grove there waa not even the half inch of the white left at Hills boro. Tho Southern Pacltle train was the conveyance to Wapato Stav-J lion 'wli'lch is two nines oeyouu i Gaston. From there to ihe mine by way of the level wagon road l about four and a half miles, but by going over the hills the distance Is shorten ed a mile. Indeed from Cove on-hard, In Laughlin gap the mine U even nearer the railroad, but a stranger would have difilcully in following the trail over the hills. The mine tunnel Is within 3(H) feet of the road and only l.r0 feet to the rear of farm er Coxier' farm house. The first discovery of coal is due to the indus try of Wm. Gozier who wanted to improve a spring that came nut at the foot of the hill. While cleaning out this water hole he found a thin strata of coal. Thia he followed in a distance, losing his water vein but opening a thicker coal vein. The hill In which thia coal it found u about COO feet high, a mile or more through It and with its connections five or six miles long or If reckoned liberally 20 miles long, for It Is part of a range that circles around the head of Uhehalcm valey thence eastward to the Willamette (liver. The Portland Coal and Develop ment Company has taken up the work of prospecting the vein. A tun nel has been driven into the hill for a distance of over 300 feet. A paral lel tunnel has lieen worked in nearly as far. These two are connected so as to secure ventilation. The com pany has a good well defined sand stone floor and a ceiling of like stone; from the ceiling to the floor the dis tance Is 7 to 7J fet, and this is the thickness ol the coal vein But this vein Is not solid coal, but divided by strata of slate from one inch to five Inches in thickness. In places the hill has slipped and this coal and slato strata is Jumbled up In great hodge podge style. At no point a sharp slip of fifteen or twenty inches is to he noted. Again these slate strata pinch out, only to come in again, but the well marked 7 foot vein Is never lost, so that , the miner Is fully Justified in drifting in toward the center of the hill. When he gets beyond the slips and hrerks ho will find the solid coal uulcss this mine Is different from all other mines that have been worked. All perhaps know the difference bat ween a quarts lode and a coal seam. The first sits up edgewise, whilo the coal lays horizontal like a blanket. The North Yamhill mine is not exactly horizon tal, but tips downward. As the tun. nel is worked In it descend at a pitch of about three inches to the foot. Drainage therefore is not natur- al. A pump is found necessary to remove the water though fortunately the mine Is bothered very little with water. No gases have yet been en countered so that bad air is absent. No coal has been taken out except that found in the stth of Ihe tunnel. This is of good quality. Mr. House is so well pleased with its appearance that he has ordered two tons to burn In the furnace under his steam boil er. This will oe uciiverea io me Southern Pacific at Wapato station conditioned only that wagons shall be able to take from the mine to the station for the mud Is getting deep. The company Is prospecting in an other way. A few feet away from the beginning of tunnel No. 1, and on the same level, a four I nch well has been started. At a depth of about 80 feet after passing through a sandstone, a pocket of petroleum was struck. Of course manager Stead- man did not lose his head and herald that he had strui k oil, but he doe want to know what la further down whether coal or whether oil. The work of drilling was suspended when the rains came, but will be resumed when spring is here. Tunneling is done very economi cally as little water is encountered, and timbering Is light. Only two men can work In the end of the tun nel at a time since the hole in the bill Is only about 8 feet wide and 7 high. About 8 feet r day is the distance irn.de. No blasting Is neces sary. A sharp pick ia all that is re quired to loosen the coal. A little mule is Ihe fellow that pulls the loaded car to the dump. To the miner day or night, rain or shine, heat or cold matters not. He steadi ly works forward steadily keeping hia mind eyn on a great fir tree, monarch of the forest, standing on the summit of the hill for he will not be willing it stop his digging till he Is directly under it unless sooner a solid body of coal shall be encoun ter al.
