PROSPECT FOR COAL.
Company Takes Leases on Land for
Investigation. '
( 0 rant County News.)
A company, or mutual association,
of John Day citlsns has been formed
for the purpose of investigating the
coal conditions of this valley. In or
der to form a basis of operations suf
ficiently attractive to Induce corpora
tion of largo capital, leases havo been
secured on large tracts of land lying
north of the rivor on tho Long Croek
road; and options taken on still oth
er portions of the prospective coal
fields In the Immcnliafe vicinity and
furthor down the river.
Most of tho land so far taken under
lease belongs to B. C. Trowbridge and
John Silvers, and the tompany taking
It over Is composed of P A. Snyder,
Frank Foster and the Dexter Bros-
The leases are made out on a roy
alty basis for a term of 99 years, and
Include todate 2800 acres. When the
transactions have been completed
there will he something liko 5000
acres subject to th leaso. It is
thought that thess trms will furnish
ample scope both In e ;tent and time,
for operations on a scale large enough
to attract a strong financial concern
The local company Is going about
these Investigations with good chances
for success; but It Is fair to tho mem
bers to state that they doslred no no
toriety, and It was with reluctance
they consented to give out theso facts
for publication. They aro woll aware
of the fact that they are undortak
Ing dcvelopmnt work thnt Is expen
sive and uncortnln. but that Is.of pro
found Interest and Importance to the
people of the valley und of tho entire
stato Thoy know only that there Is
ccal. and that It Is distributed over
Immense areas.
What they do not know, is tho
thickness and quality of tho under
strata. And It is to determine these
two points that operations are now In
nrocrcss.

stalled, and it is tho hope of the pros
pectors thnt a body of coal, large
enough to demonstrate tho worth of
the proposition, will be encountered.
Further than this, no plans have been
announced.
A Future Financier.
, Thore is a six-year-old West Phlla
dolphlan who already glvos evidence
of possessing tbo nccussary qualifi
cations to place him at tho head of
somo great trust. For somo weeks
past ho has been troubled wth tooth
ache, and his mother has coaxed,
threatened, and hired him to go and
havo tho tooth extracted, but tho
small boy could not get his courage
to tho necessary point.
Flnnlly ono morning, wbqn mamma
had bcon making bids, ltko tho crowd
at an auction. "Ono dollar, ono and
one-half," and at last had reached
"three," tho Bm.nll.boy broko in with:
"Say, mamma, would you give me
flvo dollars?"
Tho mother hosltatod a moment.
and thon said: "Yes. Anything to havo
It ovor."
"I'll do it then!" said -tho small
boy.
So away' thoy wont In a hurry be
fore he could rrpvnt' of his bargain
Arrlvtd at the dontlst's. tho oporatlon
win so painless and so soon over that
tin small boy didn't realize that the
tooth was out until they told him.'
On the way home his mothor said:
"Now, Harold, don't you think that
.was a. very ll'tle thing for mamma
to give you Ave dollars for?"
"Yes. mamma, I do." said the young
financier. "Hut. I'll tell you what!
