Coal Vein Discovered.

According to the Weiser Signal, Nephi Purcell, a former will known rancher of 
the Payette Valley, now has fair prospects of becoming a coal baron.  Under 
date of March 13, the Signal says:

N. Purcell, proprietor of the Hot Springs ranch several miles east of town, was 
in the city yesterday exhibiting some fine samples of coal taken from a vein 
discovered by his son, Lester, some time last fall.  The vein is located about 
25 miles from the railroad, the exact location of which Mr. Purcell would not 
reveal.  He stated hat the samples shown were from surface cropping, of which 
there was a large body.  The samples will be sent away for assay and if returns 
are satisfactory Mr. Purcell and sons will at once proceed to nie on the 
lands.
