THE MINING CONTROVERSY.
The Cumberland Coal Maryland.

The communications OF Mining
Engineer, III answer to my former
letter, is of such character that |
crave the indulgence of your readers
in again referring to the subject |
had supposed Mr. A. Roy was compe-
tent to defend hilnselt-seeing he
started the controversy but perhaps
his recent visit to Maryland has open
ed his ewes to the fact that his pre-
misses We're false, and consequently,
discretion being the better part Of
valor, he withdrew from the contest,
leaving his satellite to display some
of his ignorance in reference to the
subject in dispute When man pre-
tends to have more genius than his
neighbors and don't Show It, he is
guilty of the charge of egotlsm and
when he couples with this egotism
culpable ignorance he is certainly
guilty of "esotistical ignorance.
1t is time Mining Engineer was
learning that Hodges report on
Georges Creek Valley mining is worth
about as much as the paper it was
printed on He Hodge, never en-
tered the Georges Greek c. q ! Cos
mines, had no consultation with their
superintendent, got no information
from him or any officer OF the com
panv, and his assertion that their
yield per acre was only 5,122 tons
was false, known to be false and writ
ten for purpose which the coal men
of Georges Greek Valley we'll know
Mr.. Macfarlane conlesses III his book
that he has not visited the Cumber-
land region and merely copied from
Hodges report Mr.. Hodge did his
work we'll, and have no doubt salts
factorily to the company that employ
ed him, but he was not paid by the
Georges Creek Coal and Iron Co., as
they don't need any such assistance
in the management Of their property.
Had Mr. Hodge stated that 10000
tons per acre was being mined in the
Georges Creek Valley, he would have
been nearer the truth, but that would
not have suited the purpose. Over
10000 tons per acre was being taken
from some of the mines without work
ing the "magniticent" top and bottom
coal. MIR. Douglas states that the 10
acre tract was not a far criterion, as
there was large amount Of outcrop
ccal, and vet it averaged 300 tons,
1t is also time Mining Engineer
knew that the mining superlntend-
ents are not a set Of Ignorant school
boys-if they don't claim to be enGi-
neers-some of them have been to
school and know a little about gram
mar and common sense. There are
few mining regions that can boast Of
the same proportion of thoroughly
qualified men. AS class they are
certainly the equals, if not the peers
Of Mr.. Roy. | am aware he was a
resident Of this region and boss miner
for some time in the employ of the
Barton Coal Co., but like a flower
blooming in some lonely spot-its
beauties unperceiyed-so our people
failed to perceive that a great light
had dawnei upon them and it was
only after reaching a more genial
cline that We We're sstonished to see
what & rich treasure had departed. If

they would suffer greatly. They could be
seen at the creek many times holding their
arms in the water to cool it and get relief.
Do not understand me To say the matter
with which they were vaccinHatcd was
poisonous. That i, somcthinG | do not
know. The prisoners SO accused them,
but they declared it was good pure child's
matter. 1t may have been exposure that
caused it. The readers can judge for them
selves
The prisoners complained very much of
their treatment by our government The
Confederate officers Frequently told us that
all the fault laid on our government which
they said was unwilling to exchange Some
would say we were abandoned by our
government and our fnCnds-thoac whom
we SO faithfully sought to serve, and but
for whom we would then have been in our
homes of cheer and comfort at the North.
Tormcntcd with this cruel suspicion, be
sides sickness, hunger, exposure and n
thousand other prison ills, IN appeal IVES
made to our government to effect an cX
change. -Four prisoners were selected to
interview President Lincoln. The Con
fcdcratc authorities par0lcl them and sent
them north That was the last we heard

Mr. Roy's ideas Of Georges Creek
Valley mining were taken from the
Barton mine | am sorry for him. He
may write what he pleases about it
and won't contradict him. am
glad to state that | don't blame him
for all Of its mlsmanagements.
! will now give two facts in the
history of our trade. Some time ago
the superintendent Of one Of our com
panies WAS compelled to lift his bot
tom coal, and wrote to his president
asking permission to send it to mar
ket. The answer received was about
this-You may dump it at mouth of
mine, but don't send pound Of it to
Baltimore. 1t was not sent. An cx
ample Of the "shockingly, shameful,
wasteful manner of mining adopted
by our superintendent.
Part of our top coal is bone and
some wears ago one of our companies
worked it: all went along smoothly
for little, but they began to find out
that their customers were dissatisfied
and leaving them. A large consumer
(using $50 tons per day. refused to
take any more Of the coal at any price.
The president started for the mine,
ordered the superintendent to stop
taking down the top coal, and when
lie was convinced none of it was being
sent to market, went to the party and
got permission to send them a cargo
1t was used satisfactorily, others fol
lowed and for seven years that com
pany supplies that firm with coal
Another proof of the want of atten-
ton to the interests Of their employ
ers manifested by our superintend-
ents.
1t is time for outside parties to learn
that they have nothing to do with
our mining Interests, and that George s
Creek Valley men are perfectly COM
petcnt to manage their mines in the
interests of their employers. y.

Ny recent visit 20 the Cumberland
coal region only confirmed the state
ment made in my annual report, and
IN my communication to the Coat
Tat(e Jou1ndl on Waste in Mining"
in that coal field.
The question Of waste has been
very intelligently discussed, in the
home papers of the region, during the
past two months, by number Of prac-
teal working miners, who have been
in the coal field since the mines We're
opened, and who know exactly where
of they affirm.
Prof. Hodges report is an able and
in the main, correct and impartial
statement of facts A gentlemen
whose reputation for truth, honor,
great ability, and scientific attain
ments, stood unquestioned during his
lifetime will hard Y suffer after death
from attacks of anonymous scriblers,
who have not wit enough to state Il
fact, or a talsehood the same way
twice. For example, wrlter-a boss
mner--in q recent communication to
the FEosTBURG MINING JOURNAL,
stated that the top coal was all mined
and shipped from the mines of the
Georges Creek coal and iron com
pany, and now we have Y, who is evil
IDENTIFY the same parsonage, saying
that the top coal is too impure to ship,
and as left m tie mines.
In conclusion, beg to assure X,

tant duties to attend to than replying
