According to a special from Evanston, Wyoming, Joseph Acocks has made public the story of probably the greatest coal discovery ever made in the western states. Mr. Acocka says that about eight years ago, while prospecting for quartz some eighteen miles northeast of Evanston, h4 stuck bis prospecting pick through a thin stratum of sandstone, which broke away, uncovering a coal vein. There being no great market for coal at that time, he covered up hla prospect, awaiting an opportune time to open It up. This summer the Union Pacific Coal company sent its prospecting gang Into the country with a diamond drill to locate if possible the east dip of the Cumberland and the Spring Valley coal veins. Mr. Acocks watched their movement! closely until they were within two mllea of bis hidden treasure, and then procured a force of men and commenced to open up the vein. His greatest expectations were more than realized, for a vein was exposed forty feet in thickness and has already been uncovered for a distance of eight miles, with apparently no end. Eight entries have been made Into the stratum, which dips on an angle of 15 or 20 degrees. The coal Is of a superior quality, being the true Cumberland stratum, which Is the Fox hill formation unbroken and in place and touch cleaner thaa the original Cumberland vein. A good water supply and excellent railroad facilities are close at band. The land this coal was discovered on Is government property, and Mr. Acocks has applied for a patent on all the surrounding country, pie will make no statement as to what disposition he, will make of his great he has discovery, beyond saying been offered a good figure by three prominent concerns.
