TIE MINING CONTROVERSY.
"Americus" After "COlUmbuS.'

OCT. 9TH, 1910.
Editor Of FrostJu'y Mining Journal:
Allow me small space in the columns
of your paper, to make reply to some I'M
lust insnuations thrown out by "Colum-
bus" in the JOURNAL of Sept. 25th.
In a former communication | made men
ton of the fact that all the mines working
the 6-foot vein had suspended operations
because the owners or operators could not
find market for their coal on account of
its impurity. Your prolific correspondent
"Columbus," would try to make your read
ers believe that the statement of the above
fact is an attempt to throw cold water on
the G-foot vein" and that it is ''mean and
contemplate, and can only be impellcd by
prejudice and selfish motives" He also
says-'no doubt it would give him (me)
great pleasure to see all the mines stopped
where the benches are mined and sent to
market" No, sir instead of pleasure 1t
would be quite the reverse, as it is i'll one
of these same mines that now earn a liy-
ing, and have done so for the last twenty
one years, but would rather see every mine
in this coal region at work, including those
mining the 6,foot vein. ""ris true, It's
ply, and pity 'tis It's true" that there are
number of our mipes idle, AMI the majority
of those at work working little more than
half time, and no doubt the depression in
trade is the cause.

demonstrate the fact that its photography is
correct, and the charge Of Knight with
regard to the defective spelling may very
properly be attributed to a careless compos-

AN OUTSIDE OPINIoN.-This is what
the Arizona Miner has to say of the re-

The California election is over, and
the papers Of that State will now find

GET1ING SCARED .-Some of the Dem
ocralic papers of lhi, State are afraid that
straight out fight between Professor
Carr and Purson Fltzgcra,d, for the po-
silion of superintendent of Public In
struction, will result in the election of the
former. With this view of the matter,
they appear to take great interest in the
Independents who aided them so materi-
ally in the late conflict, and are now I'D
vising the nomination of candidate in
place of Quinn who has withdrawn. That
the Independents have not the shadow of
chance tc succeed in clccting II cundi-
date, they well know, and we believe that
Professor Carr is rs acceptable to the
great majority Of that putty as any other
man could be- There is no political sig

DELANo's REsIGNATIoN.-The Presi.
dent has accepted the resignation OF Mr..
DclHno, Secretary OF the Interior, tender
ed July 5th, to take effect Oct. lst. He
has he'd it Since last July because of the
continued a>pGi>ions which he believes
were heapcd on the Secretary through the
public press. \ desire to give Mr.. De-
lnno's successor time to prepare report
by the meeting of Cong ess is now the
only cause for action. The President re-
tans his faith un>hakcn in the Secretnry's
ability and integrity, and believes that
gentleman has the public confidence. 1t
IS probable from present indications that
The appointment OF his successor will be
made on Monday, and that the new Sec
retaIy will come from Pennsylvania.
Olher rumors state that Commissioner
Pratt, Judge TAFT, and Commissioner
Dennlson are the most prominently nam
ed FOR succession. A very creditnble au-
thorty states that Delano's successor has
been agreed upon, and has accepted the
tender of the pace, that he is nm Ohio
man and has previously served in import
ant public positions. TAFT aud Dennison
arc both from Chic.

A BOGUS SLIClDE.--A letter from
Paris says that great commotion was ere
atcd in the wood OF Vincenncs few day
ago by the discovery, 10y II party Of prom
enadcrs, of the body OF II well des scd
young man suspended from II branch
of study oak, while his dog, lying
on the ground just beneath his dangling
feet, seemed to keep watch over the
hastily summoned one OF the forest keep
ers, who advanced To cut the body down.
y sudden kick from the supposed dead
man sent him staggering in the other dl-
rection, while the dog, with II howl OF Jury
fastened his teeth in his leg. This done,
the body hung motionless rs before.
Try again." said one of the bystuuder>;
that movement was merely the result of
Muscular contractiOn.'
But the second attempt was attended
with the same result, and then II shout of
laughter from the apparent corpse reveal
ed the fcciet. The whole affair was IL
practical joke. The young fellow was
suspended, not by the neck, but byn COZ d
passed under his arms, and he had had
the courage and perseverance TO remain
hanging in that painful! position for mote
/ than an hour in order to successfully take
in somebody. Unfortunately the joke
will not prove rs lnughnble IL one as he
at FIRST imagined, rs he was ut once arrest
ed and taken to the station house ON The

having kicked II keeper Of the forest.

A YEAR OF DIsAsTERs.-During the
current year the natural Disturbances and
disasters that have visited our planet have
been unprecedented in number and Sc
verify. They have afflicted almost ev-
cry quarter of the habitabie globe, from
the Arctic regions to the EQUATOR. In
undniionS, earthquakes, stpin>, hoods,
and cyclones have scouiged all regions of
the earth. Flancc, England, Ireland,
Texas, and the valley OF the Mississippi
have felt tine force OF these vistatlons.
On the 10Th and 10Th of the present
month, the great cyclone which moved
along the western shores Of the Gulf of
Mexico devastated several OF the most
fourish:ng towns Of Texas. The Signal
Office reports told us that the terrific
wind which impellcd the waters Of the
Gull nolthwaid, until they 50 far en-
Galveston and Indianola, Travelled ut the
terrific late Of eighty-six miles I'M hour.
The Signal Office then ventured upon II
prediction to the effect that within ten
days this cyclone would traverse the At
lantc and be felt on the coast OF Britain.
The prediction has been verified to The
letter. \ London dispatch of the 9th
instant states that II tremendous storm
had Just burst upon :he English coast,
attended by widespread disaster, de-

Times deprccates the proposition to sub.

that the exchanges could not be effected
on IL pure specie basis. 1t says "pnper
money is no more an absolute necessity
with us than it is in California, AmSter-
dam or China. There is no more need Of
increasing the circulating medium by is
suing paper, than Of attempting to in
crease the food supply by issuing pine
shavlngs. or mixing sawdust in our Ind-

and is Of 70 interest Ia any one, excepting

The BEST WAY TO ADyERTIsE,z-l he
man who says it dUe.n't pay 10 ADVERTISE
is, Just as likely US not, doing II all the
time, in some way. II merchant hangs
n few of his new goods outside the door,
he is advertising, If cabnet'maker
hangs a chair or other article OF furniture
ut hi, shop door, he is advertising. II II
man loses IA horse or II COW, and tells cv-
erybody he meets, he is advertising his
loss. The doctor who has boy lun into
church and call him out in haste, is ad-
veilising.
A man cannot do business without ad-
veitising and the only question should be
the best way to advertise. If you have II
lot or personal property to sell, which Is
the best way, to write out few notices
that not one in fifty will stop to read, or
go to the printer and have lot Of well
displayed posters i? Ii you are in business
is it not better to keep regular standing
advertisement in youi home paper, that
will stare your friend, and customers in
the face every week, rather than trust to
the old fogy idea ot-"Oh, they all know
me-"
But, says Mr.. Saveall, advertising costs
money. Very tue, and 50 does every
thing else and it is IL good thing for you
that advertising does cost something. Ii
it did not, every little worthless concern
would stand as good II chance of being
known as the very best and most useful.
Ii you want people to know YOU have
anything to. sell, advertise it in your
home paper first, then in your neighbor-
ing papers. The man who has Ieputa-
Bile business, and spends the nost in "A
liberal system of advertising is the one
who mukes the most money. This is II
Truth well verified by the experience OF
those who have tried it.

WHAT DID He Do ?--The Nevada
Transcript says: Those papers that
favor o. p. Ftzgerald's election are very

tion Of the man, he is the ablest educator

record AS State Superintendent, when
he held the office before. We should
like to hear some Of these journals tell
what the Parson did while in Office that
was so meritorious, and where he obtained
his experience as Il worker in the public
schools. Since he cmigraied from his
native State, we believe he has been en-

did not live where public school, flJurishcd
10 any great extent. He still personally
prefers private institutions for the cducn-
ton OF children whose patents can afford
it. To prove his preference, while hold
ing the Office of State Superintendent, he
used his influence to secure from the Leg
islature an appropriation of large sum
of money for the benefit of private
school in San Francisco. During the war
lie made himself obnoxious to all Union
men by his secession utterances, and he
carried out the same sentiments when in
