Another rich relative died, and because he had not troubled to make a will and leave his wealth to charities, Jack Lane and sev- eral other leirs came into possession of more money than they had ever dreamed of possessing. It was Jack's opportunity to exemmte his commissions, close the studio ang revel in several years' study abroad, On the contrary, he did not stir a step.

Hali a dozn young men, ex-army officers, from Frame, it is sind, are (ntitled to the credit of first unearth inz the vast coal beds near the Yul lowhead on the Grand Truk Paciiic. This coal is equal {n quality' to the coal of Crow's Nest, of Vancouver Jelsnd, of Sydwey, Nova Scotia and the bituminous coal of Pennsylvania. an great find is at the head waters of the Moleod, Pembina and ¥mbar- rat Rivers. Not only is the quality of ths coal , but it is there In abundance, Experts estimate that there are eight hundred tons in sight. The pristiple véin, as tested and anal: yzed is twenty-eight feet' thick, with two or three other veins or stratas Le- low ard underlying the main vein. Uf the builders of the Grand Trunk Pa cific could have ordered the placing of these coal deposits they would wn all probability have plited them just where they are, near: the summit of the Rockies, snd on the eastern slope.

With the com pletion of the Grand Trunk Pacific the west will have, not only an abundance of toal, but have a quality of coal that can be stored in the early summer before the crop begins to move. Also it will supply the much desired return load for the cars that will carry wheat fromy the prairie provinces to Prince Rupert, The Yin will be completed ard "in operation to the Pass by the end of the yeat, and as a spur Kne of only twenty miles will take them to the minss, the west should be getting thw coal in a year from/now, This discovery is important to (he whole country.
