An Alaska Coal Mine.

Near Cape Lisburne, at the 'sArctic
coal mine," twenty tons of coal were
dug and carried aboard in sacks in one
day. These mines are within the Arctic
circle, some distance on the American
side, and are plainly exposed from top
to bottom in the face of perpendicular
bluff, about $50 feet in height. Their
widths are from three to twenty feet, and
such as are under ten feet are pure coal,
while those over are nearly so, slate be-
ing slightly mixed. The veins pitch ut
an angle of about fortyrfive degrees,
and are numerous. On the tundra, or
grassy plain above, the lodges can be
followed for miles, and after pitching
down the precipice they can be traced
across the sandy beach until lost in the
sea. Such as taken by the Corwin was
surface coal, lying about in great
chunks, weighing one-half ton or more,
which had to be broken up before being
handled. 1t was something between
anthracite and bituminous, burned well
and made but little smoke, although it
left a great deal of ashes. In handling
it left but little dirt, and for use it gave
excellent satisfaction. 1t is thought that
depth will show it to be fine quality of
anthracite coal. These mines have been
known towhaiers for some years, and
now that steam whalers are coming into
vogue they will probably be well patron
lied. = q As&4 = -. "a Il. ~

A SENSATIONAL STORY.


NEW YORK, May 1s.-A strange story is
published in connection with the assassina-
tion of Cavendish and Burke, TO the effect
that the assassination was perfectly planned
in this country. The original plot did not
include Caveudish. The plan arranged was
the assassination of ex-Secretary Forster,
Burke and Gladstone. The plotters were
men connected with the extreme branch of
the Irish revolutionists, with headquarters
in New York. The document which au-
thorized the assassination of the three Off
cials was prepared at special meeting of
the executive council, at which were pres
ent Irishmen from cities in Canada aad the
United States. Two men were selected to
execute the terrible proclamation. A large
sum of money was given the men to pay ex-
penses, etc. They landed at Liverpool, and
remained in England awaiting further in
structions. They were only few days in
England when they received an order re-
voking the death sentence passed on Glad
stone. Forster was followed all over Ire
lane, and fired at with an air gun while max
ing speech at Tull, but the bullet struck a
policeman. Forster never spoke after that
publicly in Ireland. Ten detectives con-
stantiy guarded him. The Staying of Cavern
dish was not contemplated, and would never
have have taken place had it not been for
the cold-blooded butchery of children few
days before at Ben Alma. This provoked
Burke's immediate assassination and Caven-
dish met his death because he had the i'll
luck to be in company with Burke. Only
two men were engaged in the assassination.
There was Ito cart. The article concludes
by saying the assassins of Cayendish and
Burke are now on their way to New York.
Their friends expect they will avoid the Wig
ilance of the detectives.

er Wisconsin, has been arrested on suspicion
Of being connected with the Dublin assas-

Kentucky Chiyalry.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The people of
Washington this morning joyfully hailed the
prospect of the reported impending duel be-
tween Senator Williams, of Kentucky, and
Representative Joe blackburn, of the same
State, as q relief from the dullness of Con-
gress. 1t leaked out that these two sensa-
tive and chivalrous gentlemen had had Sc
rious difficulty. The Frankfort Yeomdn
gave Blackburn credit for securing the pas
sage Of the bill to build public building at
Frankfort, and neglected Williams, who had
got the bill through the Senate. Williams
wrote 10 q friend in Kentucky disparagag
Blackburn, and the latter, hearing of 1t, adj
dressed note to Williams, calling him
liar. Old Cerro Gordo put on his war paint
and called in Senators Hampton and Butler
Of South Carolina to act for him. Blackburn
summoned Representative Carlisle TO his as
sistance. Peaceful propositions were made
and rejected. About this time the story got
out, and the principals having had time for
maturer reflection, concluded to make up.
Blackburn went over To the Senate this
morning and had long and serious talk
with Williams, and the latter smilingly an
nounced afterwards that the whole difficulty
was ended.

MINING EXCHANGES.
The Precantion That is Being Taken to
Keep up Their Reputation.

New York, May 1.-THE Times says:
The mining exchanges seem to be awaking
10 the fact that at least suspicion Of yalue
must attach to the securities in which they
deal, before the public will consent to place
any confidence in them. The American
Mining Exchange has taken the initiative in
the movement, which it is promised, will
develop soon into healthy proportions. Upon
exchange boards long line of stocks have
been listed aud dealt in, of which few per-
sons have known anything of a satisfactory
nature; in fact, it has long been notorious
that the mines, which by sheriff g sale or
more questionable means, have ceased to
have a shadow of existence, were yet not
only on the exchange boards, but prominent
In regular and irregular transactions. Thus
was a premium placed upon corners and
upon long catalogue of swIndles, known
TO the best adept mining stock manipulators.
The question of striking such securities
from the lists of exchange has been advo-
Gated by many prominent members, notably
by president Smiley, for long time. The
board Of managers Of the exchanges heard
arguments upon the matter few days ago,
and promptly determined to take decisive
action. Yesterday they officially aunoun-
ced that the securities Of the following
mines had been ordered TO be stricken from
the lists: The Auburn & Rock Creek, Bat
tie Greek, Boulder Consolidated, Glyndale,
Indian Queen, Legal Tender, Malachite,
Mineral Creek, Rico, New Silver Nugget,
Old Silver Nugget, Standby and South
MONDAY. The president said yesterday in
discussing this action of the exchange, that
there still remained on the boards number
Of securities not less deserving Of being
thrown into the street, and they will go too
before many days. Some prominent men,
bers of the New York Mining Exchange de-
clared that there was demand for a simi-
lar pruning process OH their list, aud it was
hoped that official action would be taken
soon. If we don't cut clear of this multi
tude Of swindles, said an officer, all of our
business will 60 to rack and ruin, and the
public won't trust US. 1t is fact, and we
might rs well face IL at once, If we don't we
will be likely to encounter others that are
even more unpleasant before a long time
elapses.
