Junction City Republican. The people of Alma have struck it rich and are greatly excited over the discovery of anthracite coal deposits.

The drill has now passed through four veins and reached a depth of feet, the lirst was struck at feet and was forty inches in thickness. Thirty feet below this a twenty-inch vein was found. A third vein, twenty-four inches thick, was found about thirty feet below the second. Xinety-six feet below the third a fourth vein was reached Sunday evening-, about three feet in thickness. The analysis made by the chemist shows that the deeper veins contain a little better quality of coal than was found in the lirst.

An analysis has been made of the third vein which shows it to be an anthracite coal equal in quality to that found in Pennsylvania. Anthracite coal in Kansas is a new idea to our geologists, but such is the tact, it is liani, compact ami clear, and contains ill per cent, of totai carbon. The ash is about equal in amount to that found in Pennsylvania anthracite, and is fine and light. It is free from sulphur and phosphorus, and much superior to any coal heretofore found in Kansas. It is very valuable for the manufacture of clear, white gas, free from odor.

A. F. District Clerk Spiel man is having the bar docket for the May term of district court printed at this office. Owing to the fact that our county has virtually been without a term of court since last June, the ulocket is an unusually large one. there being in all 100 cases on the docket and the prospects are for a rather lengthv term of court, especially if the docket is anything like cleared up.

R. S. McFarlaine of Horton, as in the city Tuesday morning looking up our quality of building stone for the building of a large elevator. After looking at the various quai lies he decided on the Limerick stone, and left an order for twenty cars to be shipped immediately, and work was at once commenced thereon. Thus is our building stone one ot our greatest industries becoming recognized at its actual worth.

In this issue will be found the "ad" of Mrs. E. Meyer. She has just opened out a general store in our city with a full and complete stock of everything and as all her goods are new and fresh, you need not fear to have anything of ancient order put on you while trading there. She has been in business too long in our city for us to add any words of praise to her reputation, as our people know from experience that to trade with her is to save money.

Messrs. Mitchell. Burt and Cotton were before the county commissioners Tuesday on the Wabaunsee township bridge matter. It seems that Wabaunsee township some years ago conjunction with Wamego built a substantial iron bridge across the Kansas rivei at Wamego, voting bonds therefor, and that some time since Wabaunsee township paid up her bonds after which by a vote the bridge which had heretofore been a toll bridge, was made free. A law was passed by the last legislature by which this county assumes the ownership of that portion of the bridge built by Wabaunsee township and is to appoint bridge commissioners and keen their part of the bridge in repairs the same as other bridges in the countv.

J. F. Limerick informs us that as yet but little has been done towards the opening up of our coal industries at this place, but that in a few days things will begin to assume some definite shape. Matters of great interest cannot be satisfactory arranged in a day, but in a few days a company will be formed, estimates will be made by competent parties and soon thereafter work will be commenced and pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Let not our people think for a minuto that any delay more than is actually necessary will be incurred in the commencement of the work as Mr.

Limerick is fully as anxious as we are to see work commence, but he wishes to start only when arrangements are completed to make the sinking ot the shaft a dead certainty. The New Discovery. Vou have heard vour friends and neighbors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it.

0 Serious Loss by Fire Oil last night or rather Sun day morning Sir. tllets, who lives on his farm some six miles east of this city, was awakened by the noise made his horses his large barn, and on going to ascertain the trouble found the barn, which was a very large struc ture capable of housing over a hundred head of stock, completely wrapped in flames. Nothing whatever could be done to save the contents and they were compelled to stand by and the stock therein perished before their eyes. Seventeen head of horses, some of them very valuable ones, were consum besides two sets of double harness, great amount of feed of all Kinds, agri2ultural implements, running the loss up to seven or eight thousand uoiiars. on wnicii we learn there was insurance in the amount of 2.o00.

The barn is thought to have been set on lire no other reason eau be assigned. The loss is a serious one to Mr. Willetts but he congratulates himself that it did not occur a week sooner, for at that time the loss woulu have been much greater as a number of horses had been taken from the stable and placed in the pasture. Mr. Willetts has the sympathy of our whole community, and the wish of all that the perpetrator of this villainous crime may be apprehended and receive his just deserts.
