A number of residents of this place went out to the shaft that is being sunk in prospecting for coal near here and brought in samples of lignite on last Sunday. They have since hesn trying it in thair stoves and grates and find that it Run on th e A m e r ic a n S H A N IK O , OR. meets this practical test very «rod- itahly. The specimens taken were found within a few feet of the surface, aod are consepuently too full of moisture to burn as briskly as de­ sirable. The samples obtained at a greater depth are more satisfac­ tory in this respect. As liters are no coal stoves provided with ven­ tilating and draught grates, the ex­ periments were hardly fair. But in spite of all these draw­ backs the coal in quantity burns with a good steady heat, ami show* excellent combustion. A most re­ markable feature of the fuel is its almost complete combustion, burn­ ing with almost no ash. Postmaster Johnson, who had laborouely lugged over a eack full, wae very well pleased with his samples, having burned them in a range with a reversible coal and wood grate.—Grant Co News.
