'HERE’S YOUR COAL!
AN INEXHAUSTIBLE SUPPLY SOON

El Paso is to have oheap ooal, and
that spon.
Mr. H. M. Patterson yesterday re-
turned from a business trip to Marfa,
and gave a representative of the Times
details of transactions now being com-
pleted that will certainly, at no very
distant day, put ooal of excellent qual
ity into this town*! a low price. And
it is hardly conceivable that a more
welcome piece of tews could be placed
before the El B&f public at this time.
For some months there have been
whispers to tbei( ejtfeot that Pennsylva-
nia parties hadi-become interested in
ooal lands near Sierra Blanca and that
they would sooner or later proceed to
develop them. But gentlemen to whom
representatives of the Times have ap-
plied for information heretofore Bald
that something was being done, bnt
that the timefojftgtvingout the. news
had not yet come. Mr. Patterson says
that when he was down in that section
early this week; be met gentlemen who
were more communicative, and from
them he learneg what is being done.
The sydicate how preparing to oper-
ate the ooal mines that nave for a long
time been known to exist, is oomposed
of Messrs. Kenedy, Johnsons, Straub
and associates t>f Pittsburg. They have
purchased from, time to time all the
land they could secure, inoludlog
eighty-six sections purchased from a
St. Joe syndicate, represented by Dr.
Logan. They (ttfe endeavoring now to
secure a large traot of land belonging
to the state. But they are not now
waiting for .this purchase. On the
other hand they are at work with not
less than one hundred men. They have
sunk several shafts, testing the ooal at
various pot ns, and from every point of
view the outlook is excellent. One
vein is seventy-six inches thick, and
another thirty two inches thick. Mr
Van Kiper, land agent of the G. H. &
S. A. road, told Mr Patterson that he
had investigated the subjeot and
bad calculated that if these
parties should take out 1000 tons a day
for thirty years they would not reaoh
the line of the railroad’s land, only
four miles away. This, of oourse,
means that the supply is praotioally
inexbaustable.
Mr. Patterson, who has lived in
Pennsylvania and has had experience
in mining ooal. Bays that he saw this
ooal burned and that he is oharmed
with it. It is fully as good as the
oerrillos ooal, if not better, and burns
without leaving “clinkers ’’
The ooal is located about flfteen
miles southwest from Valentine, and
26 miles from Chispa, a small station
on the G. H. & S. A., making the dis-
tance about 150 miles from El Paso.
A railroad company has already been
chartered to be built from the main
line, and it irf understood that this will
be operated by'iSHe G H. & S. A. Mr.
Eld Russell is j the president of this
railroad company, and it Is positively
asserted that* work Is to be begun at
onoe on its oonstruotion. By the time
of its completion the mine operators
will have several thousand tons of ooal
on the “dump” ready for shipment.

The April number Of Short Stories
lias the usual assortment of good tales
that we have leaned to look for in this
entertaining periodical. Departing
from the original idea with which the
magazine was started, the present
management is uaing largely original
material; and in the number under no-
tice two thirds of the tales are either
written or tranelated especially for
Short Stories. Those most likely to
please the general tast are “The Wild
Lord of the Manor” a qu-er story from
the Russian; “The Case of Lady Lq-
kestan” the Btory of a strange law-suit;
“The Umbrella Fiend” a new and *ur-
I)uck u Quail.
Sportsmen are uiuoh interested in
the report that the Rio Grande valley
above El Paso is almost alive with
duok and quail. A gentleman in front
the north says that he never saw in his
life so many dnok as he saw in the val-
ley between this city and Las Cruces.
THE COUNTY’S FINANCES-
« _ ,, S*
CommlMloners Want Expression* of Opin-
ion on Jude* Hunter’s Proposition,
There was much general interest ex-
pressed yesterday and the day before
in the flnaooial proposition presented
to the oounty commissioners by Judge
Hunter. The opinions of representa-
tives of the three banks as given in the
TimeH yesterday morning may be con-
sidered as a key note to public opinion,
though there will doubtless be other
and adverse expressions given. The
almost unanimous verdict seems to be
that the plan is an evoellent one if
there is no question as to its legality.
Eminent lawyers say that it is legal.
Commissioner Julian said to a Times
representative yesterday that the com-
missioners’ court will oarefnlly consid-
er the question before acting; and be-
sides, they desire to have the matter
thoroughly disousbed by the taxpayers.
In order that the court may have the
benefit of a public discussion of it, it
has been decided to have a meeting of
the commissioners on the second Mon-
day in next month, at whioh time it is
deBired that as many taxpayers as pos-
sible shall be present and give their
opinions.
AROUND TOWnT

sion next Monday.

MADE THEM HAPPY.
Rev. .T, C. Jones and Rev. M. C. Martin:
Join two Couples In Marriage.
Rev, Dr. Jones, the new pastor of the
Presbyterion church, began immedi-
ately on arriving in town yesterday to
make people happy. His family had
scarce got into their new home—muoh
less had they got “settled down”—
when the minister was called upon to
perform a marriage oeremony. The
high oontraoting parties Fere F. B.
Goodhue aud M. Jeenk Woodmansee—
both of San Luis Potosi, Mexioo.
They came several hundred
miles with getting married
as the main purpose in view; and they
did not waste time. They arrived at 8
o’clock in the morning accompanied
by Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Brant, and be-
fore noon the Vendome hotel register
bore tbe entry, “F. B Goodhue and
wife, San Louis Potosi.” And may
they live “together happilay ever af-
terward.”
But there was another marriage in
town. Last night just at 8 o’olaok a
small party filed into St. Clement’s
Episcopal ohuroh, and kev. M. Cabel
Martin soon pronounced the words
that made Walter P. Innes and Mrs.
Lettie P. Brown man and wife. Be-
fore this was done, however, half a
hundred friends had gathered to wit-
ness the oeremony. Mr. Innes is a
a oonduotor on the G. H. & S. A. rail
road and is worthy of the bride he won.
A New Minister.
Rev. J. C. Jones of Vicksburg, Miss ,
with his family, arrived in this city
yesterday. Mr. Jones comes to assume
the pastorate of the Presbyterian
ohuroh. Before his coming the mem-
bers of his ohuroh had rented and fur-
nished the bouse oooupied by Mr. Gay
E. Porter on San Antonio street, to
whioh the strangers were heartily wel-
comed by ladies of the congregation.
The house was set lu order and a com
mittee of half a dozen ladies were pres-
ent to welcome the strangers to a most
enjoyable dinner generously served.
Dr. Jones will preach next Sunday.
A Card.
El Paso, Tex., March 16.
To tbe Public:
Whereas, H. C. Paulsen of this olty,
has been circulating maiioious stories,
(lies) defaming my obaraoter and hon-
esty, I wish to publioly make the fol-
lowing statement: While in Mr. Paul-
80n*S>mploy about one year ago at Al-
buquerque, N. M., he aocused me of,
and placed a charge against me of em-
bezzlement, I proved my innocence of
the charge and was honorably acquit-
ted by Judge W. D. Lee of Albuquer-
que, N. M. Mr. Paulsen, still envious
(probably on account of me pursuing
the same line of business) continues to
make these attacks aud reflections
upon my obaraoter. I wish to state,
than when Mr. Paulseu asserts, that I
was guilty of embezzlement, that he is
a liar as was proveu in court. And,
that he is other-than a gentleman to
try (through, mere enviousneas) to de-
fame the oharwteif! of a respectable
oltizen. R. Sii-berberg.
