MINES AND MINERS.

Sixty new coke ovens are being erected
at Mt Carbon, ". Va.
The price of coal at the Usage City, Kan
sas, mines is 81. l29 per ton.
Coal has been discovered near Ellsworth
Kansas, at depth OF 140 feet. The vein
is Al feet thick.
Coal has been discovered at Centreville,
Md. The vein is . inches thick A shaft
will be sunk immediately.
A seam of coal feet inches thick has
been found at Odin, Illinois, at depth OF
Cog feet.
The AtchiSOn, Topeka and Santa Fee
railroad has placed an order for I'D, 200 tons
of steel rails with the Cambria Iron Corn
pany at JOhnstown.
All of the miners employed at Rend's
works, on the Panhandle, are out. This
action being taken over a misunderstanding
as to the recent arbitration, demanding 3Sc.
instead of 36c. for mining.
Trade is very brisk at Westville, Nova
Scotia. A large sized scare took place at
these mines owing 10 the roof working.
II proved to be nothing more than a scare,
however.
The contract for the supply of coal to the
St Louis water works has been awarded by
the board of public improvements OF that
city to Mr. Conrad Reinecke, of Belleville,
who has agreed to furnish l, 900, 900 bushels
at the rate of ) 10 cents per buShel.
There seems to be no possibility that the
bodies of the entOmbed miners at Nanti-
coke will ever be recovered. Mr.. Charles
A. Ashburner, State Geologist, is of the
opinion that any further efforts in that di,
rectiOn, besides involving great expense,
would be hazardous to any relief party IN
dertaking the work.
A feature of the coal trade in Pittsburgh
is the gradual disappearance Of prices fol

market for coal being cut off by natural

tors hereaboutS to-day and asked him for
quotations at the lakes. 81 can't tell you.
Prices are what You can get" How are
prices on the wall, then said. There is
no such thing as prices on the wall. We
have no wall prices. Natural gas did II. "
The term ION the WALL has signltied
quotations on coal with freight paid TO the
union yard. In the past ION the WALL
rates are used for calculating the pay OF
miners, etc, and the operator who was To-
Gated nearest the union depot yard and had
the cheapest freights made the best profits.
Now while At to a cents can be quoted as
about the price for Panhandle and similar
coal with 4fa5 cents for Youghiogheny, yet
the use of the term son the wall' is seldom
heard. All the coal now mined in the rail-
road pits of this district, with the excep-
ton of the B. q .. output, goes to the
Lakes and the West, where the best terms
possible to receive in those great cOmpeti-
tive markets, are made. An effort to nix
uniform rates this spring failed, and much
coal is sold simply to keep the dollars from
getting rusty. The want of ears is not felt
30 bad now. Cars are easier and orders
lighter" to use an operators language.
The railroad pits are making an output OF
about % per cent of their capacity.-Sd'r-

On Friday there was a very narrow
escape from serious accident, which, had
it occurred, would no doubt have proven
fatal. A countryman, with lady ana
two children, was driving team Of two
small horses across the c. & p railroad
track Just rs the 10 a. m. train came along
The engine was not thirty feet from the
horses when the driver discovered it, and
pulled his team round lengthwise of the
track and ran off ahead Of the train, the
engine barely missing the rig as it got out
Of the way.

BRILLIANT.

TheSpauldingnailm mill iSrunning full and
shipping all their nails rs fast rs cut. At
last a season of prosperity seems to have
struck the old Spaulding mill, and its long
continuance is sincerely hoped for.
Brilliant wants natural gas, and TO get
it the city dads have contemplated the
passage of an ordinance allowing the Roy
al Gas Company the privilege of laying
pipe in the city. The ordinance, however,
is very tough one for the gas company to
accept, and is a copy Of one passed in
Cleveland Our Council should not ex
pect q gas company TO furnish light and
heat for all public purposes and give q
bond of $50, 900 for the mere privilege of
coming here, while we have only one mill
and one glass works to take the gas in
any quantity. Other towns are
offering more specific inducements to the
companies piping this subtitle fluid to
them, and are glad to get it at almost any
cost within reason. Brilliant cannot ex-
pect gas company to give as much for
the privilege of coming TO hamlet, to
boom il, and probably not make decent
profit on the money invested, as it would
to get into Cleveland, where, besides the
manufactures, there are thousands of fam
lies to use the gas. Brilliant must not
put on too much independence and ask
too much or they may lose all.

10 the Editor Of De Sunday Register:
Specimen collecting is now very popular.
Not long ago l received from Washington
Territory q nice box of real Indian money.
The lady who sent il says her husband col
lected this money years ago while trading
with the Alaska Indians, and now, having
no use for it, sends it to me. The Indian
money is rare sea shell an inch and half
in length, the size around of large knit
slightly bent, tapering and
hollow. The value of each piece was
cents. l have much more of this queer
currency than need for my collection,
and will give what have to spare to those
who have none. So any one who would
like piece of Indian wampum may have
it and welcome, if they enclose stamp to
pay the postage.

To the Editor OF THE LEADER.
CHEYENNE, Feb. l1.-SR,-It is re-
ported that the contract for printing the
governor message and reports of terri
torial officers in pamphlet form has been
awarded to G. L. Rauncr, Of Laramie
City, who, it is well known, has no facili-
ties for performing the contract with the
material of which his office is composed,
and that he has therefore taken the work
TO Denver.
Without mentioning any names, | am
sure there are Offices in this town alone,
not speaking of Others there may be. out
of Cheyenne, but in Wyoming, capable of
turning out all work required for the ter
ritory, and by this means every resident
of Wyoming reaps the benefit Of money
so expended, either directly Or indirectly.
Only a year ago much discussion On
this point was raised by the Knights of
Labor and other trade organizations
against the custom of private citizens let
ting out building contracts to firms out
side Of Wyoming, and to a very great ex-
tent this evil was stopped.
Now, when our territorial government
sanctions such a thing as this, | think it
high time for all residents, be they tax
payer, builder, clerk. printer or laborer,
to raise their voice against such an out
rage, and demand that all work contracted
for by the government shall only be let to
those persons who shall give n bond to
perform the same in the territory and
employ territorial labor, except in such
cases where it can be proved such is not
practicable.
Trusting hat this subject will not be
overlooked. | am, respectfully, a member
of Wyoming Typographical Union, No.
1874, and TAXPAYER.
