Correspondence New Mexican.
CERRILLos, Oct. 1.-Hurst's hall was
crowded with miners last night to hear
the joint discussion of the statehood
question between Gov. Prince and H.
B. Ferguson, of Albuquerque. 1t was
agreed that each should have one hour.
The governor spoke for fifteen minutes,
and then gave way for FERGUSON. The
latter devoted his entire time to the abuse
of Hon. T. B. Catron and Wilson Wad-
bingham, evidently forgetting that these
two gentlemen are paying wages to more
miners than the tenderfoot anti-state
Albuquerque attorneys ever saw in one
body, OF course, Ferguson s statements
fell fiat under the circumstances. On
the other hand Gov. Prince made plain
talk as to what Republicans had done in
the present congress to bring prosperity
to New Mexico mining camps, and then
he turned his attention to the "alien
act" which Democratic congress had
passed, and which absolutely excludes the
investment of 81 of foreign capital in New
Mexico mines.
He spoke of the richness of our ores,
and the climatic and other advantages
which the mining industry enjoys here
over other states, and said only capital
was needed to develop the mines, but a
Democratic congress had shut it out. He
said there was just one way for the
miners to rid themselves of this obnox-
ious "alien act" and that was to vote to
change the condition of New Mexico
from that of a territory to that Of state.
FERGUSON dared not undertake reply to
the governor although he had full hour
Of spare time on his hands before the
train came to take him south. AS mat
tiers now appear the miners of south
Santa Fe county will send up a big ma
jority for independence, foreign capital
and statehood.

The numerous mine accidents of a re-
cent period afford additional proof of the
futility, not to say downright mischiev-
ousness,o Government interference with
mining affairs. Since the mine-owners
have become relieved by Inspection laws
of large share of their responsibility for
accidents they have grown careless in re-
gard to the condition of the mines.
Everything is left to the Government in
spectors, who are paid to look after the
safety of the mines. Even if the number
of inspectors should be doubled or
trebled they could not exercise the neces-
sary vigilance over the innumerable
anthracite and bituminous mines of
Pennsylvania.
Formerly the miners of Pennsylvania
as body were intelligent and expert
enced men. They thoroughly under
stood the various perils attending their
subterranean occupation, and provided
against this dangers that beset them.
They did their own inspecting, and, as
self-perservation is the first law of nature,
they did it well, as rule. When acci-
dents occurred through the carelessness
or neglect of the mine-owner or his
agent, they were able to hold him to
strict responsibility.
But in recent period under the Mining
Inspection laws-and in no small degree
in consequence of them-the mines of
Pennsylvania have been filling up with
natives of Hungary and Poland, few of
whom ever saw the mouth of mine be-
fore they alighted in our anthracite and
bituminous regions. AS the State has
kindly relieved the mine-owners and
operators of due responsibility for acci-
dents, by putting the mines under official
care and inspection, they, of course,
prefer the cheap imported labor.
By natural process of devolution
the experienced and intelligent body
of men that once occupied the coal re-
gions is becoming rapidly supplanted by
reckless and ignorant emigrants from
Eastern Europe. Careful miners, who
value their lives, shun this association;
and it is not only question of time when
the Poles and Hungarians under exist
ing conditions will monopolize the occu-
patton Of coal mining in this State
They will take the cheap wages as well
as the risks entailed by their ignorance
and inexperience.
Instead of protecting the miners, the
Inspection laws of Pennsylvania have
proved positive mischief to them.
While mining accidents are increasing,
the legal responsibility of miner-owners
for loss of life and limb has almost en-
tirely ceased. In the division and SUBJ
division of responsibility among mine
owners and their superintendent, State
inspectors and miners, the usual verdict
of juries in case of accident is that
nobody is to blame. If this system of
legislation had been specially invented
to protect the interests of the mine
owners of this State at the expense of
the miners it could not have better ac-
| complished its purpose.-Phila. Record

Death, the unerring visitor, has again
entered our midst and claimed another
victim, in the person of John McNelis,
aged sS years, who died at Drifton, Fri
day evening.
The deceased was an old resident of
Jeddo, but for number of years has
been living at Drifton, and at one time
held the position of supervisor of Foster
township. He was well and favorably
known-a fact attested by the large
gathering at his funeral, which took place
on Monday morning at 8 a. M; inter-
ment being made in st AIMS cemetery,
at which Requiem Mass was read at
10 a. m.
The deceased leaves a wife and five
children-namely, Hugh McNelis, out
side superintendent for G. B. Markle, at
Highland; P. II. McNelis, of Indian
apolis, Ind; John McNelis, of Drifton;
Miss Kitty McNelis, of Drifton, and
Mrs. Philip 3rislin, of Jeddo.
The funeral was an unusually large
one, considering that the hour was early,
and that a number of people were pre-
vented, by being at work, from being
present.
May his soul rest in peace.

The anthracite coal trade is showing
signs of improvement, though there is
little prospect of much activity being de-
veloped until after July lst. The weekly
output of anthracite has begun to in
crease, the production for the week end
ing April 5 being nearly 5000 tons in ex-
cess of that of the corresponding period
of last year, and the output for the week
ending April II 2shows and increase of no.
120 tons. The consumption of the fur
mace and steam sizes of anthracite con-
tinues large, but the orders now being
received for the domestic sizes are only
for small quantities, with few excep-
tional cases of dealers who are reported
to be laying in some stock in anticipation
of future higher prices. The supply of
pea and buckwheat is easier. The stock
of domestic sizes of the Reading Com
pany at Port Richmond has been largely
reduced within the past week.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
April II, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 604, ,647 tons,
compared with SIS, $40 tons in the cores
ponding week last year. an increase of
S6,307 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 1927, ,266 tons compared with 7,840,
555 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 563. .2S9 tons.-Ledqer.

REDUCTION IN PRICES.

The Wilkes-Barre Nemsdealer says
Another reduction in coal prices has
been made by Coke Bros. & Co., the
large individual operators.
A circular issued by the firm under
date of April II quotes stove coal at the
mines at $l.90 and nut coal at S1.75.
This is reduction of Is and 25 cents
respectively from the prices quoted on
March 20. The following prices were
quoted at that time: Stove, $2.O5; nut,
ing Company's prices are as follows
Stove, $2.4o; nut, $2.16; broken, 1925;
egg, 1925.
The Reading officials say that the
prices made by Coke Bros. & Co. are
very low, and that they boubt whether
the firm would take many orders at those
prices. The restrictive policy adopted
by the various companies is having its
effects and the prospects of the trade are
brighter.

Peter Miller of Upper Lehigh, has
filed a caveat for patent on an i'm
proved mining lamp. The lamp is a
great improvement on those in use now,
as it it will save its cost in oil in one
months use. AS is well known to all
who have occasion to use mining lamps,
great source of annoyance to the miner
is the dripping of oil from the spout,
and from the swinging of the head oil
comes out of the airhole on top of the
lid. In the Miller lamp all this is obvi-
ated. The air hole on the lid is pro-
tected by cone tube which allows the
lamp to be turned upside down without
spilling the oil, and the spout has a
swedged rim, acting as an oil arrester.
The spout and bottom are in one piece
making it less liable to melt the solder
ing.
Mr.. George McGee of Upper Lehigh
has one in use for some time and pro-
nounces it first class, and fulfills all that
is claimed for it.

Coke Bros. & Co. have struck five rich
veins of coal in their new openings at
Green Mountain or Oneida. One of
these veins is thirty feet thick. Three
breakers will be erected, and when com
pleted it is expected 1900 cars will be
hoisted daily. During the past few weeks
the company had a corps of surveyors at

The Base Ball Season Opened.

The Freeland and Tigers base ball
clubs opened the season here on Sunday
in well played six inning game. The
game up to the sixth inning was close
and interesting, the score standing to
in favor of the Tigers. In their half of
the sixth inning the Tigers by wonder
full streak of batting, assisted by costly
errors, kept the Champions of the Mid
die Coal Field" chasing the leather in all
directions; and when the inning closed
had added IL runs to their score. The
Champions" came in exhausted, but
could not find the ball, and went out in
one, two, three order. The players for
Freeland were: Carr, C. 2b; Welch, p.
