SUFFERING IN CINCINNATI.
Subscriptions Started to Supply Poor Peo
pie with Coal at Reasonable Rates.


pie With Coal at Reasonable Rates.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 13.-The present sup
ply of coal in the yards in Cincinnati is
inexhaustible, that is to say, inasmuch
as it is relative to the cold and the choke
up of the river, even estimated at dura
tion which is admittedly impossible.
At the elevators and yards of w. H.
Browns Son g. Co. the mountain of coal
doomed high and looked as if it had not
been disturbed for months. Mr.. Brown
said:
"We do not anticipate stopping at all.
We have enough coal on hand to keep us
busy"
The Marmet Coal company, which is
refusing coal to small customers, has in
reality an immense quantity on hand.
At Sol P. Kinon's yards there are, con-
servatively estimated, $50, 900 bushels of
coal on hand.
Notwithstanding the immense quaint
ties of coal in Cincinnati, the fact re-
mains that piece Of coal is worth as
much as a diamond. The dealers will
not sell coal at less than the exorbitant
price of SO ton, which 10 clearly unjusti-
fable.
The Cincinnati post has started q
popular subscription for the purpose OF
buying coal to be shipped to Cincinnati
and sold to the poor people at $3.50 and

DEPARTED GLORY.
A Formerly Great Mining Town
That Is Now Deserted.
Where Thousands of Miners Once Dug
Out Fortunes There Are Now Only
Few Chinese Making
Bare Living.

After. the tourist on the Canadian
Pacific railroad has passed through the
scenic wonders of the Rocky mountains
and the Selllirkrange, says a Yale (B. c.
letter, and has hung for hours above
the precipices in the Eraser river canyon,
the train suddenly shoots out into a level
space in the river valley and brings up
at a station called Yale. At present
Yale is inhabited only by a handful OF
white men and several hundred Chinese
and Flathead Indians, whom the trav-
eler sees upon the station platform
with their baskets of tempting fruit
Yale is dull enough to-day, but some
thousands of people once lived in the
little place, for it was the greatest
placer gold washing field on the lower
Fraser and the center of attraction in
British Columbia as long as it yielded
large quantities of placer gold dust.
The train stops long enough to enable
the tourist to become enthusiastic over
the beautiful scenery that surrounds it.
East of the town is mountain several
thousand feet in height, down whose
sides in rainy weather the loveliest OF
cascades foam and tumble till they
reach the river. In front is the swift
flowing Fraser, which here is calm and
placid in comparison with the roaring
stream the tourist saw little earlier as
the Fraser tumbled down it's rocky can
yon to the level country. Looking
across the river, the tourist sees far to
the southwest Mount Hope, whose top,
nine thousand feet above the sea, is
| covered with snow.
In the fifth and sixth decades of this
1 l. II
miners were panning gold dust, Yale
saw its best days. After yielding for
years an average of fifteen dollars q
day to each man, the placer mines gave
| out and then came decadence. Several
years ago the few white men in the
town believed its old prosperity was tc
| return. The Queen mine was opened
in a neighboring mountain, and it was
| thought that fortunes would be tal1er
from the gold lead discovered there
The prospect, however, did not prove tx
be what it promised, and the mine was
given up. A little gold is still found
along the river banks and among the
sands near the shore. AS the traiI
leaves town, tourists often see a few
Chinese digging in the sand on the left
side of the river. They are satisfied
if they make an average of two dollar
day. They monopolize the left shore
but on the right bank, where the di
lapidated town lies, is a German named
Ed>s ard Stout, who has been pannin&
gold dust there for several years. 81,
uses the cradle and quicksilver process
and is we'll content if he secures al
average of fifteen dollars n week. IL
keeps bachelor hall, and is satisfied t.
make living. Gold washing is pos
sible only during a few months in tn
year. The Chinese work only iron
July till November. At most othe
periods of the year the water is to-
high to admit of digging in the sand
! where gold is found.

We are sorry to discommode the public
this week by tearing up South Main street,
but the law of progress would have its
way This is the first time the road COM
missioners of Waterbury had to run 12-
inch main pipe to start the huge machin-
erv of an elevator in motion. His Honor,
the Mayor, was going to write a special
message bearing ON the question, as water
might be scarce again, but after we eX-
planned the great acquisition our newly
paten ed elevator would be to the city, he
put on that wise look for which he is dis
tnguished, and kindly said "Well, Mo-
riarty, as long as your customers include
nearly the whole of the public, l guess
YOU can have the South Main street pipe
all to yourself"
We thanked His Honor modestly, and
assured him Of the good wishes of 'Le
public for his prosperity. We hope that
there will be no counting on the elevat &c,
as we expect the young couples will fno
cur immense stock sufficiently interesting
to tract their attention. The elevator
will be completed some time this week
and the public ara invited to inspect it
Our stock is new in every department,
having been purchased since the Fire; SO

market-Carpets, Oil Cloths, Stoves,

he is eminently suited.
From private letter received in this

1t is learned that operations will be COM

J. d. Morgan returned to the city
yesterday from the Arivaca mining dis
trict, where, he says, everything is
booming. The mills are running day
and night, crushing the best of free mill
ing ore, and the mountains are full of
prospectors and chloriders. Nearly
every hour in the day loud reports echo
up and down the valleys, telling that
more big bodies of rich ore have been
laid bare by the plentiful use Of giant
powder.
One of the companies in the district is
testing Crawford mill. and Mr.. Morgan
Gays it is doing the best work he ever
saw. 1t is handling IL tons of ore daily
and is proving far more satisfactory
than the stamp mill. Tailings come out
in good shape, and the automatic feeder
is perfection itself. The mill will shut
down shortly, when a cleanup will be

WANTED TO STAY IN JAIL.


The Sad Story of Poor Old Henry
Mccoy.
San Diego Sun: Henry Mccoy, aged
about 60, was released from the county
Jail yesterday, having served four
months sentence for petit larceny. The
old man was charged with stealing a
blanket at Oceanside, and he did not
particularly care to disprove the allega-
tion, since his conviction woald mean
plenty to eat and a comfortable place to
stay, and his discharge would mean
mdfe hunger and bed on the ground.
So he was bought to Jail and faithfully
served his time, and wasn't particularly
glad yesterday that he was compelled to
go out into the world again.
But it wasn't always that way with
Mccoy. There was q time when he
could go out into the world and COM
mand things. He came to California as
a hunter OF gold, and he found it. He
was In the Grass Valley region in 1S49,
and his first efforts yielded him $4,000
in few weeks. Then on another find
he struck a pocket of nuggets which
panned out $40, 900 in four hours of work.
Fortune continued to favor him in that
same way, until he had at one time q
net capital OF $3.50. .000-this same man
who now doesn't care to leave a jail.
But reverses also came rapidly. He put
$780, 900 into developed mine and the
mine pinched out Immediately after he
got it. He put $4,000 into private
bank and the bank broke. So it went,
until he has not had enough to buy a
meal. He does not drink, and is will
ing and anxious to work. Yesterday he
went out to do some gardening-but
will he go tomorrow Cannot some
more fortunate old miner answer that
nuastiou +?
