ABOUT THIS REGION.

Mr. Thomas G.. Weeks, State labor
commissioner, did not visit Frostburg
during his recent sojourn in this coun-
ty. His observations were made at
Homecoming, from which has given the
press data sufficient to foreshow the
character of the official report he is
now preparing. He states that he
has sought his information from the
operators-from the employees, and
not from employers. His report on the
coal region will be mainly from the
standpoint of the miners. He found
twenty-seven mines in operation, and
about three thousand miners employed
in Maryland. Their nationalities are,
in the order of numerical prominence,
Welsh, Irish, Scotch, English, Ger
mans and Americans-th the latter prin-
cipally engaged in mining work out
side the mines. The miners he found
to be intelligent and thrifty, as
rule, we'll informed and ready to COM
municate with him. Their homes are
scattered along Georges Creek, and
eleven hundred miners living in Iona
coming. He complains Of the defective
sanitary arrangements of that town,
which should be incorporated.
He finds that good company houses
rent from $3.50 to 81 and others at 81
to S. month, according to location.
Some miners walk several miles to and
from their work. The coal is con-
stantly going further back in the mines
some of the workings now penetrating
mile and half. About a third of
the miners bought their homes when
wages were better, but many of these
are now encountered by debt. The
average family of a Maryland coal mi
ner consists of father, mother and six
children, the boys slightly in the ma
jority. Returns from twelve families,
ranging from one to thirteen children
per family, showed seventy-two chill
dren, thirty-seven boys and thirty five
girls, in all ninety-six persons Mr..
Weeks finds.
The public and private morals of
the mining community are excellent.
The men as rule marry young. There
are no restrictions on the sale of liquor
but intemperance is the exception.
There is no labor for women and
girls outside of household work.
Boys from twelve to seventeen yea RS
of age work in the mines whenever
they can succeed in securing a half
turn. After seventeen years of age
boys get full turn. The miners fill
on an average two cars per day, each
car holding two tons of 2.24O pounds
each, with an average of 300 pounds
of coal extra on each car, and they
are paid fortya cents ton. They aver
age about ten months work year,
and their earnings depend on the
character of the coal and the access to
it. The average yearly wages of a mi
ner do not exceed $400 year. The
cost of living for family of a man,
wife and four children, for rent, plain
food and clothing Mr.. Weeks places at
SOL month, and he says there is no
margin for extras. Miners who have
sons for helpers on half turns are bet
ter fixed, but the miner with family
and no sons to help has struggle.
Mr.. Weeks says the miners believe
the coal companies make good profit
on all their coal, and Mr.. Weeks, in
his estimates will endeavor to show
the facts.

Mines and Atners.-Big business
in the Pocahontas (Va.) mines has re-
ceived a check in the discharge recent
ly of three hundred miners. The ex-
cuse is want of vessels at Norfolk to
transport the coal. This hardly tallies
either with the report of low water
freights or big contracts east.
In New 'Cony mine, near Lonacon-
ing, Monday, Alexander Orr was pain
fully injured by fall of coal.
In old 'Cony mine, same vicinity,
same day, John Tenant, ventilating
furnace attendant, had leg broken
by fall of coal while digging fuel for
furnace use.
We are falling behind last years
output very rapidly.
Pompey Smash has won the dis
tinction of having the longest coal slope
in the world. 1t is over 5000 feet.
A twenty-foot ventilating fan is in
course of construction. When COM
pleted mine locomotive will be add.
ed, greatly facilitating and vastly in
creasing the already enormous pro-
duction Of the mine.
Mines are working an average of a
fraction over half time-some half,
others a trifs over half, a few full
time, the rest idle.
