New Anthracite Coal Find.
Cabin Creek, Jan. 6.—A three
foot vein of anthracite coal of
the very finest quality has been
struck on the farm of Garner
Bros., just north of Lamar,
which goes to prove that the
whole country around Lamar is
underlaid with the sparkling!
black diamond and that this will
soon be a hustling mining town
of much importance. There'is
considerable suppressed excite
ment 'over the prospects of more
coal in this neighborhood.

but between 5»0 and 800 Centigrade
