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.
