MINING BY ELECTRICITY.
Successful Result Of Experiments Made
in . Mine Near PittsburE.

9uoceseful Result Of Experiments Made
| in Mine Near Pittsburg.
Pr1Tssu1o, Pa, Aug. THE Mononga-
hela Gas company, at its bitnminous coal
mine near this city, has successfully demon
strated the utility of electricity in mining,
and somewhat revolutionized operations in
the bowels Of the earth. Electricity mines
the coal, fans the air to ventilate the cham
bers, pumps the water that accumulates
along the entries and lights the passages
and rooms, All that the miners have to do
u to operate the motors and bring out the
coal. This latter is still done by mules,
although arrangements are being made
now for haulage system that will be
run BY electricity. American and English
miners, who are undoubtedly the best in the
world. are becoming very scarce hereabouts.
enough to run their mines properly and
their orders in busy seasons. This
trouble in obtaining competent men
induced the Monongahela company to
turn over their mine at Wilcox Station to
turning ont nearly 800 tons Of coal every
twenty-four hours. This 10 done with about
sixty-fve men and boys, quite a number of
whom are employed at what is known as
dead work. Under the old system it would
require about 10 men to accomplish the
same amount of work. Increased capacity
is not the only advantage secured. Instead
Of being a Rrimy, uninviting place, the mine
is neat and comparatively clean. The en-
tries and rooms are we'll lighted, the air is
delightfully."- pure, and the floor is as dry
and hard as tho ground outside. At the
entrance of the mine is the power house, in
which are the dynamos, generators and en-
Rines, all of which are run by one man, who
attends to the billing of the cars
and looks after the tools in his leisure time.
1ncandescent lamps are used for lighting.
The fan is operation by small motor. In
case of fire the air currents can be reversed
and smoke can be driven to any part of the
mine desired. The electric pump is on
a truck and can be moved to any part of the
mines as easily as q wheelbarrow could be
trundled. The wires can be connected and
the water started at any place in the mine.
The mining machines are the real features.
Five of them are now in operation. Only
one man is required to operate them, and
all he has to do is to start the machine by
closing an electric switch and stop it after
it's work is done. The machines cut in
under the coal, and little charge of dyna-
mite brings it all down, ready for hauling
away. By machine it costs Acc ton to put
,oal on the car; by hand 100.

When taken out a hook was found fastened

Of q sensation was created on call Yesterday
when Joe Mutually asked for bids on q sluo

at DO or 500 on same terms at 40, It has
been but short time since this COMPANY
paid its second dividend of 30 share and
the stock was up around the dollar mark.
There are several unfavorable rumors out
regarding the mine and the condition of
the company's affairs. One is to the effect
that the superintendent had gathered MP all
the best ore and shipped it in order to
declare a dividend, and there was very lit
tie, if any, left, and another rumor was
that there was trouble in the company. con-
tending factions having q squabble. The
mine is located in Missoula county, Mont.
and is owned largely in Helena, though
considerable stock 10 held here in st. Louis.

Revival OF an Old Feud.

Everybody remembers the old Dooley
and Milroy feud which was supposed to
have ended with the acquittal of Milroy
BY the courts for the killing of Dooley, saws
. PhilipsburR correspondent of the Stand
ard. Mn. Pat Dooley. wife of the man
who lost his life, still lives on the same
ranch and she has men now employed in
cutting hay on what seems to be disputed
territory. Last Friday Milroy went to the
hay field and told Martin Manley, who had
charge Of Mrs. Dooley's hay crew, that if
he did not get away from there at once he
would I'LL him full lead. Manley is a man
Of peace and he did get away and came to
PhilipsburR, went before Judge Bateman
and had warrant issued for Milroy. At
the trial it was proven beyond doubt that
Milroy had made the threats, and the JUS
tice placed him under $1,000 bonds to Keep
tho peace for one year, and also assessed
the costs of prosecution against him. NIL
roy, although supposed to be veil off, failed
to get the bondsmen here, and he was taken
to Deer Lodge Jail this morning by Deputy

The Sun Rivsr Sun has closed its fifth
volume, and not inclined to review the
events of the past has great hopes for the
future, and gives the situation and outlook
of northern Montana, and particularly in
the vicinity of Sun River. in the following:
s'Sun River, although given the go-by by
the Great Northern and Canada Great
Falls railroads, still holds her own fnan-
cially, and compares very favorably with
other towns of the state that enjoy railroad
privileges, in the volume and activity of her
business enterprises. She does not live in
q mushroom atmosphere-her progress is
not spontaneous or efervescent, but is
slow, solid and lasting as the hills which
environ her. With the Grown Butte
caAal, now in course of rapid construction;
with the prospect of the speedy opening to
settlement of the greater part of the
Fort Shaw military reservation, both of
which will afford homesteads for hum
dreds of families, who will naturally
draw their supplies from here, and with
the assured knowledge that the Northern
Pacific, the great pioneer railroad of Mon
tana, az q matter of elf-protection, if
for no other reason, will soon shorten it's
line by building from Great Falls up the
Sun River valley and cut through Cadott
pass, Sun Rivers future is no longer myth
cal, but very apparent to the Intelligent
mind. Situated in the heart of the best
agricultural valley of the state, sufficiently
far removed from other towns as not to
clash with their commercial interests, with
q water power at her door Of sufficient ex-
tent and volume to run an endless variety
of machinery, which can be utilized for
miles at nominal cost, and which is now
existing the attention of eastern capital
lists, she is sure to have her day and occupy
no mean position in the ranks with the
first class inland commercial towns of Mon
tana.

The Montana Cattle Situation.

The Montana Cattle Situation.
The stockgrowers' miles City, Journal
thus sizes up the cattle and range situation:
''Now that We are approaching the fall
roundup and things are looking a little
brighter for cattle men in eastern Montana,
it il a.good opportunity to review the situa-
ti0n and see exactly how We stand. There
Is no use repeating the old tale about our
disasters in '66 and the lessons to be learned
by them. These lessons have been burned
-or rather frozen-into Montana stockmen.
We now know that dry summer here fol-
lowed by q hard winter means loss and
very serious loss, too; that calves cannot be
raised successfully in this county, because
the COWS are too much weakened by the
winter, and there is certain to be great loss
the only thing that can be done is to import
the young cattle and fatten them here.
With fair seasons and good economical
management, this must always be q pay
ing business. The grass is good and uutri-
tious, and the country perfectly healthy
for all sorts Of cattle no matter where
they come from. All this is in our favor
and We can place it against the uncertain
seasons. The over stocking of the ranges
is another serious matter. A good season
or two comes, eastern men hear of it and
Immediately they rush in stock, the grass
on the ranges 10 all eaten up ana the winter
may bring disaster. Why on earth cannot
there be some satisfactory arrangements
made whereby the ranges can be stocked in
rational manner? Il can be done if stock
mon only combine and put their shoulder
to the wheel.
1--WE have in as few words as possible
stated the position Of stockmen here. The
outlook Is not everything that could be de-
sired, but with care and attention there ID
no reason why cattlemen should not do well
this year and help to retrieve the Losses OF
the past"
