The MINE INSPECTORS REPORT
This document is printed elsewhere.
In some respects it is, considering its
brsvity, remarkable paper, and in
none is this quality more decided
than in its unlikensss to its author
Ia vsrbjags emanates apparently from
neither legal or mining 81 eciallst,
and it is question whether it IS not

panies than to tue governor.
The Inspector speaks of the late
suspension as "the general strike Of
our miners and their lolg refusal to
dig our coal ~ though there we're
sons moral or "higher-law" ob.iga
ton binding them to work whether
tic pay suits tt EN- or not. 1t ought
not to be forgotten, esps Tally by the
Sta .e's officer here, tn It the great
event of which he writes was not a
"strike," or if it was, it was compan-
les "Striks," planned and concerted
under the portsntous nomenclature

Hence, the Inspectors promise
next year of "a full aad impartial his
tory of this great strike-its cause

promise a prediction" and allow
"unforseen events" to work another
unverifsa prophecy.
The praise awarded the "conserva-
tive miners for their noble Efforts to

said. We are glad this consideration
found place in the report. A sim
liar plaudit bestowed upon the com-
paniss "ior their forbearance toward
the miners" does not appear Sd ex'
sctly pertinent. The companies do
not o4pn the miners theoretically or in
fact. The administration of the

MILLIONS OF FEEr.-The Lochiel
Lumber Company have in their en- :
ploy over ono hundred men cutting
and shutting" trees in Garrett county
in the vicinity Of Grantsvills and
along the Savage river. The men
are making from $50 to $40 month
each, clear of their hoard. The logs
are cast into the river where they
will remain until the spring freshsts
carry them down to the mill near
Bloomington. The company expect
to use fourteen millions feet of lum-
Der during the year. The mill is the
largest lumber mill in the State, and
there are but few lumber mills in
Pennsylvania that are larger than this
one.-Cumbsrland Times.

A FEW who found exceptions to a
recent article in the JOURNAL touch
ing Gov. Hamilton's availability for
denomination and election will find
no better comfort in the following
paragraph clipped from the Baltimore
Heralds weekly review of the polit-
cal situation
The Hamilton men are working like
beavers for their can didate, but his nomi-
nation would cause stampede worse
than that which. occurred in New York.
It would bo . real disaster. He Is not
identified in any way with the party. He
has recognized nobody, but has set up his
sole will as the Pentateuch for party
government, and whenever this h as been
disregarded he has sneeringly cast aside
well-meant advice. Claiming to be op-
posed to dictatiol in politics, he has at
tempted . dictatorship more complete
than that Of Napoleon.

BLoop WILL TELL.

LONDON, June 3.-Lord Charles Beres-
ford has entered the prize ring. The ar
rival of Jem Mace and the Maori, Slade,
was no sooner announced than his lord
ships aristocratic blood was stirred for
fight. He challenged the Maori and Mace
and set-to without gloves was arranged.
Sporting circles became interested and
even the fashionable world was eager to
patronize the fight. Jem Mace accepted
the challenge and the fighters met in
specially engaged private room near the
Elephant and Castle house on the Bor-
ough road The Prince Of Wales was
present, surrounded by large number
of arstocratic sports and private gentle
men. There were also number OF the
Clancy in the near neighborhood OF the
ring. Heavy betting was INDUCED in
and the fun was enjoyed immensely by
those present.
After several exciting rounds, in which
excellent science was displayed on both
sides, Mace failed to come to time and
acknowledged himself badly beaten
Lord Charles won an easy victory, al
most without scratch. Herbert Slade,
the Maori, who had been anxious to have
round or two with Beresford, looked
on in amazemert as the old fighter Mace
received a pummeling from his noble
opponent. When Lord Charles had fin
ished with Mace and had received tn,
plaudits of the company, he invited Slad'
to take turn, but the Maori, warned by
the woebegone appearance of Mace, re
fused to enter the ring or risk any en-
counter with Lord Charles.
Mace took his defeat quietly, but tn
Maori was much chagrinned at the re
suit. He had counted on getting som
reputation in England and his backing
down at the first challenge is regarde'
with suspicion. 1t is known that Lor'
Charles had intimated to his Roya
Highness that an Englishman could al
ways whip professional fighter and tina
he had expressed determination t
whip Jem Mace and the Maori giant a
the first opportunity.

THE PRINTER AND HIS WORK.

Persons who are very quick at detect
ing even Insignificant typographical err
rors may read the following article with
profit. 1t is reprinted from one of the
leading periodicals of London, England:
Probably one of the worst businesses
under the sun is that of printer. His
every deed seeks the light of day. Those
of lawyer lie in dark boxes and between
musty shelves; the doctor places his in
different handiwork in the earth; the
tradesman has but his customer to please.
and satisfying him his work is ended.
But the printer-every ,gnoramus spells
over the work of the printer Fellows
who would find it impossible to put %
letters together dramatically, will point
out with elee fault in his work; indeed
it is usually that class of individuals who
make it point Of finding out every little
discrepancy. Did the public know thu
thousands of different characters, differ
ent letters and atoms comprised in ;
printers daily life: did they but know
the variety OF altogether foreign subject
he has to set up, read. correct and revis,
day after day, they would wonder how
he kept himself out of the lunatic asylum
But practice makes perfect, and constan
friction has rubbed off all the rougl
edges from the character of the man 0
letters, nothing taking effect upon him
He can view errors of the most frightfu
description with calmness. After all
what is an error, grammatical or other
wise? Simply so many types out Q
place, that's all. Quite enough, but no
enough to upset the equanimity of tn
printer"

DEATH OF ,. n. JAMES.

The following item containing an ac-
count of the death of John r. James, is
taken from the Tucson Citizen of May
2Sth:
Col. John r. james died in this city
on Sunday, May 9th, after lingering
illness, with disease Of the kidneys and
liver.
Col. James was born at Bristol, Eng
land, is 1887. At the age Of sixteen he
left his home, and made his way alone to
the then newly discovered gold country
of California, by the way of the Cape Of
Good Hope and the Sandwich Islands.
During the thirty years following he de-
voted his entire energies and abilities to
the mining interests of the Pacific Coast,
with varied success, and was personally
known to almost every old miner on the
coast He was among the early pioneers
of Virginia, Eureka and Phoebe, and was
superintendent of some of the most I'M
portant properties of those places, and
earned the reputation of being one of the
most careful and skillful managers en-
gagged in the business Of mining. Among
the thousands OF men who have worked
under him it is known that no man ever
lost his life by an accident in or about a
mine while Col. James was superinten'
dent. He would never let an employe
venture into dangerous place until he
himself tested it.
In 1879 he removed to Arizona and
settled in Tucson, and has been identified
with the sale and development of many
mines. Quite recently he had started 6
mill on some properties in the Santa
Catalinas, which gave promise OF great
succe g.
The disease which ended his life wa.
contracted several years ago and it de
veloped insiduously until when danger
was first apprehended, it was beyond the
control of the most skillful physicians
They could only temporarily alleviate
his sufferings and prolong life, which a
last has succumbed to the great de
stroyer.
The funeral will be held at five o'clocl
this evening from the Presbyterian
church, under the auspices of the Episco
pal church and the Masonic fraternity,
