MINE I'M FLAMES.
Fierce Fire Raging In Coal Mines at
Mahanoy Plane, Pa.

s
Fierce Fire Raging I'm Coal Mines at
Mahanoy Plane. Pa.
MAHAEoY PLANE. Pa, Sept. 30.--A
fierce colliery fire is raging at the Bos-
ton run workings OF the Reading
agency. located near St. Nicholas, in
the Mahanoy valley. One of the prin-
cipal veins worked at this colllery out
crops on the mountain side, and several
months ago while mountain fires were
raging near by some tim Der which had
fallen across the outcropping burned
with the brush. aud in this way fired
the coal, unbeknown to the colliery en-
ployes. This has been burning its way
gradually to the main workings of the
mine and the company have a veritable
volcano on their hands to con tend with.
8 he oficials took prompt steps, how
ever. as soon as the fire was discovered
few days ago, and expect to have it
extinguished in day or two. The
matter has been kept quiet by the COM
pany and very few persons knew until
Thursday evening that the mine was
on FIRE. The colliery is one Of the most
important plants of the Reading COM
pany. Upwards of 500 men and boys
are employed. The workings are very
deep and if the fire gets . good start on
the veinsit would prove very disastrous.

and besides, it Is only the question Of .
little time when the public wiU weigh
those banks in, the balances that they
themselves erected. For time bank
with an advertised capital OF $4,000,
$1,000, $1,000 and $4,000 may have the
entire public confidence, but when this
is the case it is because it is understood
that there is an actual capital much
larger; but this forced confidence, as a
rule, is of short duration, and banks
showing their capital Of $4,000 or more,
increase in business while the others de-
crease. q am not speaking of towns so
small that bank would not be expected
to have more than $1,000 or $4,000
capital, but towns having several banke.)
"This method OF banking also encour-
ages the unscrupulous to engage in
banking with little or no capital, for the
sole purpose Of defrauding those who
may trust their money with them, and
banks doing an honest business must
suffer because OF their dishonest neigh.
bors"
Mr.. Myers concludes by saying that
with the cooperation of the bankers he
hopes to see an improvement during the
coming year and that all banking and
other legitimate institutions may be put
upon an equal footing in the matter OF
assessment and taxation. Ii the state
aud private banks do not take steps to
rectify the seeming inequality, it Is Mr..
Myers opinion that the national banks
will draw more largely the banking
business of the state.

Watertown Public Opinion, 28: Public
Examiner Myers has lseued circular
letter to the state and private bankers Of
South Dakota in which he sets forth
what to him seems palpable truths with
reference TO "capital stock"
I'm an early day in this state," he
says, very many banks with an actual
capital Of $4,000, advertised capital of
s50, 900; now the order is reversed, and q
bank with an actual capital of $4,000
adyertises capital of $4,000. This is
done for the purpose OF escaping taxation
and think there was an actual me-
cessity for doing this for the reason that
banks were required to pay taxes on q
basis OF 100 cents on dollar, while their
neighbors we're paying on basis OF 60
cents, or less. In righting their wrongs
very many have gone to the other ex.
treme, and instead OF paying their. hon.
est and just share are paying nothing Oh
q very small part of what. they should
~ md in doing this they have, placed
themselves In a position where they
must either violate the law under which
they are doing business, or else not be
able TO compete with national banks

Congressman Lucas is preparing a
bill to locate and establish national
soldiers home at Hot Springs in the
Black Hills. The recent successful
government experiment in curing con-
tingent of old soldiers of many nervous
and kindred diseases furnishes strong
reasons for such location. He is also
pushing vigorously his bill already intro
duced to reclaim arid and waste lands
by establishing system of irrigation
whose supply OF water is TO be obtained
from artesian wells and the natural re-
servoir system. Proving success, this
scheme would make the northwest
states independent OF drouih conditions

Mr.. Lucas bill is elaborate and provides
for homesteading 160 acres Of the irri-

considered in computing time OF resi-

the Mansfield mine is seven miles east
