Show "Newi Bits About Yealer-Years" Taken from first year's issue of Roosevelt Standard October, 1914: HORSES RAN AWAY Mrs. Ed. F. Harmson and Mrs. George Searles were driving on the Harmston Bench, Tuesday, and in coming home in the evening the brake block failed to work when coming down the dugway, and the horses ran away. The team went over the embankment and threw the occupants out. Aside from a few slight bruises the ladies were not hurt much. The horses came out without a scratch, but the buggy was minus a double-tree tongue and a few minor breaks. The most important discovery that has been made here for years was the finding of a vein of coal within two miles of Roosevelt. Heber Timothy was out prospecting prospect-ing for gypsum Tuesday and accidentally ac-cidentally came across a surface cropping of coal along the Hender-j son bench, two miles north of Roosevelt. j Wednesday they dug into the ledge three feet and it is claimed that the vein is getting larger and better as depth is reached. If this proves to be a good mine it will be a God send to Roosevelt Roose-velt and Duchesne County, as it will solve the expensive fuel problem pro-blem for this part of the Basin. Instead of paying $10.00 per ton for coal we will be able to buy it for less than half that amount, Again, it is another big asset added to Roosevelt's many resources. |
