NO GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.
Bradstreet's Is Not Optimistic as to the
Business Situation.

Bradstreet's Is Not Optimistic as to the
business Situation.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Bradstreet's says:
Aside from increased sales and shipments
of merchandise at a few widely separated
centers there has been no general improve
ment in the commercial situation this
week. 1t is noteworthy that at such points
as Chicago and St Louis autumn buying
from jobbers maintains the slightly in
creased proportions reported last week, al
though the volume of business doing Is
far below the usual average at this season.
A significant feature is found in the clos
ing down again of industries at a number
of points in the west where they recently
started up after prolonged idleness. But,
on the other hand, the Texas drought has
been broken, northwestern banks are ad-
vancing funds freely to handle the grain
crop, and the south is taking care of the
cotton as it gets to market.
Some results of the recent monetary
stringency are found in the extraordinari-
ly large total nun Der of business failures
during the past nine months-l1 Id
which is fully 81 per cent. heavier than in
nine months a year ago, and % per cent.
heavier than in like portion of 1891.
Liabilities of failing traders this year have
run up to the unprecedented total of 1924, :
Ue1, 900, about four times what like debts
were last year, and 64 per cent. more than
the total indebtedness of nine months of
business failures in 1884, the next preced-
ing year of severe panic.

AT Ine GREAT EXHIBITION.
Rain Cuts Down the Attendance-Some
Trouble About Beer.

Trouble About Beer.
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Jackson park was
almost deserted last night, the thousands
of visitors who would have remained to
see the illuminations Icing driven to their
temporary residences by rain which began
falling late in the afternoon and continued
throughout the night. There were only
Isl, ,3S7 paid admissions. Damp weather
today detracted from the attendance of
Erin's sons, but there is multitude on the
grounds. 1t was Irish holiday in all the
city departments; also in the county Off
ces. The celebration began with parade
this morning, containing all the Irish mil
itary and civic societies, reviewed by May
or Shanks, and this afternoon there will
be speeches and music in Festival hall.
There is trouble about the award on
beer. All the judges except one are III
favor of knowing what brand the beer is
before they taste it.; all the exhibitors ex-
cept one are in favor OF the beer being un-
marked so that the jurors will not know
whose beer they are passing on until they
have made the award. And no man knows
how the fight will end.

The force in the mine worked in small
crews on the different levels, of which
there are six. The sixth level was 42s feet
down. 1t was on the fifth level that the
danger arose. The water had soaked
through and undermined the supports of
the roof of this level, and shortly after the
miners began work it gave way and fell on
the roof of the sixth. The levels above,
losing their support, followed in its wake
almost instantly, while the Mlchlgamme
river emptied its entire flood into the open
ing. The bottom level of the mine-on
which most of the men were working
trends with the river, which at that point
runs north end south, and was reached by
shaft sunk on the west bank cf the river
just at the waters edge.
When the twenty minors who made
their escape reached the shaft perfect
deluge was rushing down. The men had
to come through this torrent, and they did
it by holding their breath, coming up
from one platform to another. Their
escape was marvellous. The whole river
rushed into the cavern made by the cave
in, and for two hours the bed of the river
below the opening was perfectly dry. AT
daylight next morning nothing but loose
lot of timber in the river from the shaft
house and pool of red water marked the
spot where the shaft had been sunk.
The Mansfield mine was flooded in the
lower level by water last spring and while
in this condition the ore pillars in the up
per levels were removed, it is alleged, by
order Of the superintendent. This, nc
doubt, hastened the collapse and prevented
many of the unfortunate miners from
escaping Already talk of suits for dam
ages against the operators by relatives o.
the dead men is being heard. Tht
money loss will be 5000, 900.

Was a Cable Romance.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-The Chicago police
were not the least surprised readers of the
Vienna story giving alleged details of ar
anarchist conspiracy in that city in which
Chicago anarchists were said to have had
a hand. Chief of Police Brennan positive
ly denied the statement contained in the
dispatch that he had been in communica-
tion with the Vienna authorities or that
he had received any intimation from them
that the European anarchists and the reds
of this country were working together In
their plots.

Believes the Mine Was Robbed"

MARQUETTE, Mich, Sept. !O.-John N.
Longyear, of this city, is one of the chief
owners of the Mansfield mine property.
He said that the land has been leased to
Calhoun g. Tenny, of Chicago, and that
they had formed the Mansfield Mining
company. Mr.. Longyear's belief is that
the disaster was caused by ''robbilIg" the
mine, that is by working in a reckless
manner and tearing down pillars Of ore in
the upper levels that should have been left
to support the roof. Mr.. Longyear would
not affirm that such was the case, but be-
lieved it prouabie.

COAL ON THE DES EzsZ'.

For years. the coal measure which
runs from the eastern base of the San
JaciRto mountains southeast to the
gulf has been known. Professor
Hanks formerly state mlnerologist Of
California gave the matter much care
full study. But it remained to Pro-
fessor Haupt, the eminent German SCI
enlist, to find the first coal near Tres
Pesos, south of the Cocopah noun
tains, while on trip of exploration,
in that strange and wonderful section
which surrounds the Painted noun
tains. True, the old Indians had told
us that's black rock existed there,
which burned to white ash, but such
were their superstitious fears relative
to naming the spot where it was to be
found, that no one could learn of its
exact location. The old man Hayden,
was the next to find coal, but so miles
or more to the northwest of that
found by Prof. Haupt, and that found
by Hayden was only float. The next
one to find it was the old prospector
Higgings who found it in place, in
small seams, only six or eight inches
thick, but of good quality. Though
not positively known, it is believed
that this was IN the same locality of
that found by Hayden, as it resembled
it, and burned with about the same
result of residue. Now that there is
almost a certainty that the railroad
will be built from San Diego via
Yuma to Phoenix, the fact that coal
does exist, in the great valley of the
Colorado, and that too in the very
locality, crossed by the railroad, makes
it all the more important for Yuma
Without o railroad the coal was
= valueless, but with one, its value can
not he over-estimated not only as a
factor in making Yuma one of the
great manufacturing cities of the
southwest, but also in furnishing
cheap fuel for the road itself. Nc
large manufacturing city can be built
up without cheap coal. Yuma has
the great water way of the Colorado
in time will be a railroad center, when
wits her rich soil, fine climate and
cheap fuel she will become the Queen Of
the Nile of the west, and the leading
inland city of the Pacific Coast.
