The interest taken by K:shoka and

The interest taken by Kahoka and
Lancaster in raising money to pros
pect for coal is finally waking up
Memphis in the same line. We are
informed that some years ago pros
pecting hole Was boared in the ground
just north of the city and \ thirty six
inch vein of coal found. Severa!
enterprising citizens are now inter
esting themselves in the project of
forming q company for the purpose
Of mining coal here. 1t is believed
BY many that the vein of coal is much
thicker in other places than at the
prospecting hole. Any one can
realize what successful coal mine
would be for this city-it would mean
about thousand more inhabitants
and make all branches flourish. We
hope nothing will he left undone to
start the coal industry here.

Game Warden Taylor came In recently
from the lower country, where he has
been kept busy driving the Indians ont
Of that section. Mr.. Taylor reports that
the Utes have been playing sad havoc
with the game, Strengthening wherever
they could. He was very indignant
over it, and from his version Of tho mat
ter he has good reason tolbe. He states
that from the Iron springs divide to Yel-
low creek it IS impossible to travel a
hundred yards without finding the bod
les Of deer lying around. and in most
cases nothing but the hides and brains
have been taken, the brains being used
by the Indians In the process Of tanning.
On Blue mountain and in the Lilly park
sections the rotting carcasses can be
seen, while on Snake river they are SO
thick IS to absolutely poison the air.
Warden Taylor estimates that since
the deer began to travel down the Utes
have killed between 5000 and 1000 OF
them, and what makes matters worse
the major portion Of them are does and
fawns, the bucks always remaining in
the upper country till later in the fall. IS

THE RUMOR DENIED,

Secretary Lovejny Says the Carnegie Com
pany VIII Not Negotiate.
The report that the Carnegie Steel Com
pany was meeting with such poor success in
running its plant with non-union men that
in three weeks the firm would be ready to
come to an understanding with its old en-
ployes and that great amount of material
was being ruined every day was called to
the attention of Secretary Lovejoy yester-
day. who stated that there was no founda-
tion whatever for the statement
No name was given and the
secretary was of the opinion that
very little reliability could be placed on
statements whose authority was concealed.
He saws the works can be run for q time
with 800 men, but that no repairs could
be made currently. The statement that the
Carnegie Company had placed large blocks
of Homestead real estate on the market is
likewise without foundation and was an
inference probably drawn from the stopping
of work on the sewers and pavements It
is the intention of the company to lay
sewers and open and pave streets Then to
lay out lots and sell them to good workmen,
but they are in no hurry.
Mr.. Frick, who has been absent for few
days on business, will return to his desk to-
morrow. He has completely recovered
from his wounds. and will be ready to ap-
pear against his assailant when the case is
called.

MEN AFTER WORK.

Over 800 Applied at ShoenbsrEer's Yester-
day-New Departments Started-Large
Plumbers of CoIored Men Said to Be
Coming From the South.
Nothing of any Importance developed in
labor circles yesterday to alter the present
situation. At the Elba Iron Works the
strikers gathered to their usual meeting
places All was quiet about the mills and
nothing in the way of start was made.
The men held meeting. but didn't decide
on ANYTHING definite. President-elect Gar
land was present and took hold of affairs
temporarily. All repairs have been COM
pleted within the works snd everything is
in readiness for q start
At Shoenberger & Co.'S mills ct Six
teenth street the strike does not seem to
exist any longer. There are no Amalga-
mated men around the works daily and no
meetings of the men are being held. The
mills, however, never did run in any better
shape than at the present time. Each morn
ing since the week began there has been
some new branch of the iron department
started. Yesterday the bar mill was set
going full turn and went double
last evening. Over three hundred
men applied there during the afternoon for
work. Some of the skilled men were en-
ploved. More than half of the 45O men at
present in the mill are Amalgamated men.
They all claim that they still retain their
membership in the ranks. All of those who
were seen Yesterday admitted that the firm
had overcome the strike and, were inde-
pendent of the Amalgamated Association.
Several important changes are to be made
in the Upper Union Mills. Additional rolls
will be placed in the pudding department,
where 40 furnaces are at present. A number
or converting furnaces for making raw steel
will take their place. The steel will be car
ried in a liquid state to the mill in few
minutes by way of the river branch of the
naces were torn down yesterday to make
room for other machinery. The 30 at pres
ent standing are all on double-turn with col
ored crews exclusively Manager Dillon
saws that in a week or two the daily output
of both mills will be 400 tons.
From 600 to 800 tons of ingots are being
turned out every day by the Carnegie plant
at Duquesne, and the daily consumption of
Bessemer metal at the Braddock mills Is
/, 100 tons A good deal of stock used in
both mills is purchased. At Moorhead q
Bro. IS Sharpsburg mills the colored men are
again being paid S. so per ton. Since March
ldSC tney nave DeeH StItlug ouiN 81 per 9ou.
Many of the departments will be exclusively
worked by colored men. A large con-
tingent of them is now on its way from the
South. Until then the works will only go
single turn. Parties of about dozen are
arriving each day.
The Clinton Rolling Mill is to be made a
steel plant The plans have been
prepared and the work will start at once.
The cost of the new plant will be $125, 900.
