WAllSniPS AT 11EIRUT Lucky Strike Made Eighteen From Evanston, Wyoming. According to a special from Evanston, Wyoming. Joseph Acocks has piade public the story of probably the greatest coal discovery ever made In the western states. Mr. Acocks says that about eight years ago, while prospecting for quartz some eighteen miles northeast of Evanston, he ituck his prospecting pick through a thin stratum of sandstone, which broke away, uncovering a coal vein. There bolng no great market for coal at that time, he covered up his prospect, awaiting an opportune time to npen 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 cast dip of tho Cumberland and tho Spring Valley coal veins. Mr. Acocks watched their movements closely until they were within two miles of his hidden treasure, and then procured a force of men and commenced , to open up the vein. Ills greatest expectations were more than realized, for a voin was exposed forty feet In thickness and baa 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 bill formation unbroken and In place and much cleaner than tho original Cumberland vein. A good water supply and excellent railroad facilities are close at hand. The land this coal was discovered on Is government property, and Mr. Acocks has applied for a patent on all tho surrounding country. He will make no statement as to what dlrposltlon ho will make of his great discovery, beyond saying he has been offered a good figure by three prominent concerns.
