Wheeling coal miners have had good
deal OF trouble over the settlement Of labor
wages, and the operators and employees In
the neighborhood Of Pittsburgh have had
the same class Of difficulties. Ours for.
tunately, were amlcably settled, but In
view Of the constantly recurring troubles,
where the interests Of operators and
miners ditIer the advantages OF co.opera-
tive work in this industry are worth con-
silering.
In the Pittsburgh TtlegnaFh OF yesterday
mention is made Of the firm Of Corey {
Co., who operate the Wayerly Coal Com.
pany's enterprise at smithton station, on
the Baltimore aud Ohio road, and tie
works Of Corey & Co, at Braddocks, on the
Pennsylvania railroad. Both are con-
Quoted on the cooperative principle,
which makes each miner virtually a
partner in the concern, holding him liable
Tor losses and giving him 4 show in all
profits. At Braldocks there are fifty men
In the pits, the average output being
$1,000 bushels per day. Each man in the
employment OF the firm signs an agree
ment to the following effect: The price
paid for mining Is based on the selling
price Of coal ION the wall" Union DepotI
ut Htl'ttsburgh. The scale runs down to five
rents per bushel, and has the following
provisions:
When coal ir MInIuE Ir
~ II a NIaaA
~ ..'"...'....-.''..,.- y
" .........., .....r.... 260 " "
And go on.
The agreement further stipulates that no
coal shall DO sold below the lowest point
named in the scale without the consent Of
both operator and miner. Also, that no
change whatever in this scale shall be ef.
lected by either side without sixty days
notice. At the end OF each month the
average OF the months rates Is found and
the miners ara paid in strict accordance
Herewith, and on the basis given. The
books are Rt all times open to the inBpec-
ton ol those OF the men who desire TO sat
isiy themselves by such an inspection.
At the Waverly Works the same prin-
clples OF cooperation are carried out, but,
the coal not being sold ION the wall,
freight Is deducted and the miners get
ole'half the net price obtained ut the
mines, and also 25 cents per wagon for
slack. In addition, three prizes are offer.
ed their miners by the firm, to those OF
the former who can show the largest
earnings during the year. This novel plan
Of giving money to the man who makes
the most, is an Incentive for steady labor,
and has been lound to work well. The
hrst prize Is 500, second $50 and third
SIS. For ten years this plan OF
cooperative labor has been pursued
by tile firm named, and Il does not
seem that either side finds anything to 10.
gret In adopting tho means enumerated.
There has been no, such thing aa strike
in either pit during the time named.
Many Of the firms employees have become
possessed OF comfortable homes besides
having money laid away for the rainy
lays that are sure TO come. During the
trying time OF riot, hard times, &C., no
disturber has bGen found eloquent enough
10 coax the miners out OF the pits named,
and altogether 1t seems that as compared
with arbitration, cooperation Is infinitely

forest, river, desert and plain; in
 deed the picturesque views along
 this road surpasS anything in its
 line on the continent. There are
 some of the richest valleys in the
 world in Eastern Arizona (nOrth)
 one of Which-the Val de Chine -is 91 miles in length. The Val
 ley of the Little Colorado, too, is settled up for a distance of nearly
 100 miles, and Is traVersed with
 many never-failing streams. In
 the valley of the Little Colorado (and in the valley Of the Salinas as WelD large numbers of Mor-
 mons have settled, many of whom carry out the doctrine of the Church of Utah. There is a rumOr that the settling of these
 MormOns iii Arizona is a part of . scheme to Utah-ize said Territory. The Williamson Valley, near Prescott, is Gas pretty as a pie ture." It contains many square miles of arable and timber lands. and is the home of the deer and
 wild turkey.
 The YlvapaiS and Apaches used to depredate upon all these vast domains few yeats ago: but now, thanks to Gen. Crook and the good results of his "plaD," no hostile Indian at present is at large in the inhabited parts of Northern, Eastern or Central Ari- zona. The Moquis Indians, like the Pimas, Maricopas and Papa gos, all of whom are pretty good Indians, deserve more than mere ly passing notice. They live along the Little Colorado and San Juan rivers, between the 35th and 36th parallels of latitude Their population is vari0usly esti- mated at from 4,000 10 5000, and they inhabit seven villages, and all speak the same language, aI- though their governments are in dependent and apart. These In- diIns have always been friendly with the whites They raise " heat, tcrn, fruits, vegetables and sugar-cane, and keep horses mules, sheep and goats. Up to within the few last years these Indians have suffered gOod deal from their wars with the Apaches and NavajOs.
 AS l have before stated, while there are many timbered and pas toral sections of Eastern and Gen. tral Arizona, there are hundreds of mountains beSpangled with crOppIng3 of precious metals. It would take a book to adequately describe the mines already known 1 to exist and at present being worked in this metalliferouS re- zion. I call to mind, now, as paying mlnes or locations of great | promise, the Brad haw, Tiger, Gro Bonito, Cougar, Black War rior, Gray Eagle, Prince, Peck, Dividend, Tip Top, Pearl. Old | Timer, etc, all situated in North ern, Eastern and Central Arizona. At and near Wickenburg are ex- tensive gold leads, some of which have produced hundreds of thou sands of dollars. B. C. T.
