When the question of Bates coun- ty’s coal wealth was first agitated, the great majority of people looked upon the prophecies with suspicion and failed to graspthe situation. A few, more far-seeing than the majority, invested in the Rich Hill coal fields, and realized fortunes, but most of us let the tavorabie opportunity pass. The doubters then contented them- selves with the reflection that no turther developments would ever be made. Next came the Walnut ex- citement and there is every indication that this locality wil’ prove far richer than Rich Hill. Indeed it is a set- tled fact. The Walnut coal is more even in thickness, less hable to play id, superior in quali- realized on out and, tt i ty.

Like Rich Hill and Walnut they will leap into prominence so suddenly as to leave doubts as to the 1 When the owner of an eighty farm, who has hard work to support | his tamily in a respectable manner, is told and realizes that his land worth $8,000 or over in actual cash, he begins to comprehend there 1s a centers reality. acre reality in coal booms. Many such cases have happened. Many more | will happen in the future as the mineral wealth ot Bates continues to be developed.

Coal land has already been | purchased and is now held by the owners who realize tull well that the touch of a railroad will turn it into} gold.
