AL the men thrown out OF employment
by the shutdown win find places at the
other mines.
| II has been matter Of common talk
Tor some time that the Canton paid
lower wages than other mines on the
range, that the miners average only
about eiebty-fve cents per day that the
shutdown is for the purpose OF avoiding
the payment OF higher wages naturally
expected in the summer, and that the
mine will open again ia the winter and
take advantage Of the low wages dur
ing the dull reason. 1t is more likely
that the mine was shut down because
there has not been pound of ore sold
yet.
Speaking OF wages. The officers oi
the company offer their books To prove
that the average wage rate at the Cam
ton since May, 1894 was over $1.70 per
lday and that several times good
practical miners have made over $500
per day. Occasionally good miner
will have a bad month. The public
always hears Of these cases. but rarely
overhears a word from the men who
are doing well. Again 1t should be
remembered that many OF the men
employed at the Canton never worked
underground before. They are not
miners. Where practical men could put
in set OF timber in two hours they con-
sumo n hall day at the same Job.
These men cannot beexpccted TO make MS
big pay as miners. IL should be remem-
bered that the Canton ore is not Of the
best quality and that il must be mined
at a low cost or not at all. 1t is sale to
say that the stockholders in this prop
erty have never realized dollar on their
investment. Considering all these things
and the fact that tho Canton furnished
employment to many workingmen when
the county was feeding hundreds and
when most OF the other mines were COM
PEELED to shut down, the citizens OF
Biwabic Should feel somewhat grateful
to this company and be rather sparing
IN the criticism OF it's management.
The Drake and Stratton company
have force Of men mt work repairing
machinery and tracks preparatory to
the resumption Of stripping operations.
They will work two shovels Midsummer.
which will give employment to about
200 men.
A local merchant who IN close OBJ
server has figured out that there will be
about $50 men employed in the Biwabilk
group OF mines during the present sea-
son. The Range believes the total will
be nearer 750 when everything gets to
running smoothly.

The Newspaper Maker has interviewed
publishers and advertisers on the business
outlook for 1896, and in the main they agree
in predicting a profitable season. The large
advertisers are increasing rather than de-
creasing their space and report satisfactory
results. The manager of the St. Louis Re
public predicts that 'the year 1896 will prove
the most profitable year in the newspaper
business the newspapers of the United States
have ever known"
The sensational fake newspapers like the
New York World and Journal cannot long
keep up the enormous clrculatlons they
claim. People soon find out the true worth
of a thing, and this is as true of newspapers
as anything else. In strong contrast with
the fake World and journal is the clean

doubt the greatest newspaper in the world.

Reputable Newspapers Returning 10 Legitimate
Business,

One OF the most important features of
the business OF newspaper making dur
ing the past year has been the decay in
what has been happily termed Green
Goods journalism" Coupon schemes of
all kinds, whether guessing contests or
pseudo lotteries for watches, books and
articles OF clothing, are to say the least of
1T undlgnltied. What part or place can
they have III an enterprise which, in the
abstract at any rate, claims a foundation
OF brains and special ability? What has a

naliSm?
Such schemes are as far removed from
legitimate newspaper enterprise as the
nadlr is from the zenith. They have not
the sentimental merit which attaches to
the fresh air or ice funds of newspapers
which choose to extend their sphere of
usefulness beyond the channels of journal
ism; they have not even the more common
place merit of simple usefulness. They
are mere schemes to sell a coupon or a
cheap book to which a newspaper is at

R. H. Whites New Steam Yacht, Built at Bath

r. II. Whites New Steam Yacht, Built at Bath.
r. II. Whites steam yacht Peregrine,
recently completed at the Bath iron works,
arrived at Boston April Doth from Bath,
on her maiden voyage. Capt. Grant, her
commander, reports a pleasant trip under
easy steam, with everything about her
working smoothly. He thinks the yacht
will prove fine sea boat The Peregrne
is the largest of Boston's steam yacht
fleet, and attracted much attention as she
swung at anchor off the Rowe's wharf
house of the Massachusetts yacht club,
says the Boston Globe. She is high
Ell sided than the average steam yacht,
and has a most seaworthy look, beside
being handsome craft in the many ways
which take a yachtsman's eye. She is
painted white, with gold stripe defining
the planksheer and bright rail topping
the bulwarks. The full length deckhouse
gives her much the look of an ocean
going craft, and its shining mahogany
finish is well set off by the brass
trimmings of the deck and bridge
Her schooner rig, with topmasts, her
standing gatfs, with main and foresails
furled snugly against the mast and her
topsails neatly slowed against the mast
heads, add to her seaworthy and business
like look, and complete the ocean going
effect just spoken Of. The yacht is built
of steel, and is l5S feet over all, l31 feet
waterline % feet beam and 10 feet draft
She is driven by a vertical triple expan-
sion engine of 500 horse power, with cyl
inders A., n and 81 inches diameter by y
inches stroke, steam to which is furnished
by two water tube boilers, with - square
feet of CRATE surface. A speed of 1913
miles was obtained on the trial trip, which
was more than the contract requirement.
There are six water tight compartments
in the yacht, and she steers by steam, is
lighted by electricity, carries powerful
search light and has coal capacity of 40
tons Her interior accommodations are
Of the best, and the cabin finish is very
elaborate. In the evening the yacht was
brilliantly illuminated with her electric
lights and made most striking and beau
tiful picture as seen from the wharves
against the dark background of the outer
harbor.

Steamship Sunk by a Ram.
Wyan0ke Ran to the U. 8. Cruiser Columbia and
Quickly went to the Bottom.

NEWPORT News, Va, April 2S. The
Old Dominion steamship Wyanoke, from
Richmond to New York, ran into the u
S. cruiser Columbia, anchored in the
channel of the river opposite this city, at
2. this morning. Sixteen minutes after
the collision the Wyanoke went to the
bottom. Capt. Jenney Of the Wyanoke
had just relieved the pilot at the wheel.
The electric lights on pier were in di-
rect line with the lights of the Columbia.
The glare blinded the captain, he says,
and he did not see the cruiser, until the
Wyanoke was too near to avoid a collision.
He shifted the Wheel and as the bow of
the Wyanoke swung around a strong ebb
tide forced the vessel over the Columbia S
anchor chains and the sharp steel PROV of
the cruiser caught the WyaDoke just for
ward of the wheel guard on the starboard
side, crushing in hole at least three feet
in diameter The crash awakened all the
passengers. There were 107 passengers
on board, and the officers and crew num-
bered AZ. The officers of the steamer say
no lives were lost.
On board the Columbia the collision
signal was sounded and the men and Of
ficers ordered to quarters. In two min
utes after the collision the crew of Uncle
Sam big cruiser was assisting in trans
ferring the passengers from the rail of the
Wyanoke to the deck of the Columbia,
the distance between the two vessels be-
ing about four feet. Capt. Sands of the
Columbia ordered boats to be lowered to
render assistance to those struggling in the
water. A boat from the tug Wanderer
also gave assistance.
The Wyanoke remained upon the PROV
of the Columbia for about 10 minutes
after the collision. As soon as the pas
sengers were transferred the Columbia
engines started up and the cruiser backed
out of the danger The force of the col
lision smashed a small hole through a
plate on the port side Of the Columbia
about five feet above the water line
Otherwise the cruiser is not injured seri
ously.
The boilers on the Wyanoke exploded,
and the second engineer, J. J. Walters,
was terribly scalded by escaping steam
His condition is critical. The Wyanoke
went down near where the Cumberland
was sunk by the Merrimac during the war
Only two boats on the port side of the
Wyanoke were available for saving pas
sengers not taken on board by the Column
bia. One of these was placed in charge
OF the second officer, and the other was
commanded by the quartermaster. They
We're Immediately filed with women from
the steamer and started to the shore,
picking up two men from the water while
on their way.
The Columbia sent out her boats and
rescued IA considerable number First Of
ficer Glover was carried down by the col
lision and came near drowning. He man
aged to get to the surface of the water
near the Columbia, and caught hold of
life raft, which had Just been lowered.
Prof. CULVER of Waterbury, Conn, also
came near LOSING his life.

A State Senator "Counts Ties

Passengers from Belfast to Pittsfield in
the afternoon are compelled by the arrange
ment of trains on the Maine Central to en-
dure long and tedious wait at Burnham.
Pittsfield young people waiting there in this
way have quite often walked up on the
track, distance of seven niles. The other
day Lawy ers Hovey and Davis were return
ing from Belfast and met some other Pitts
field people at Rurnham, and there they
were scheduled to remain for over two
hours. A small wager was made in the
course OF conversation that hovey couldn' t
walk to pittsfeld in an hour and a half.
Hovey accepted the challenge, and struck
out. AS he hustled past the halfway
siding, here Jim loves freight train was
waiting for the express to pass, the sight of
prominent State Senator rapidly counting
the ties in true professional style, Jim says,
was about the most refreshing sight he has
seen for months. Hovey, however, won the
wager it'll ten minutes to spare, and now
holds the Durham Pittsfeld record Pitts

POLITICAL POINTS. The Republican
State convention of Pennsylvania was
held April 23d. The platform endorsed
Quay for President and favored reciproc-
ity, protection, and protection to ship
ping. On the currency question it said
''the Republican party favors information
al bimetallism, and until that can be es-
tablished upon secure basis opposes the
coinage of silver, except upon govern
ment account, and demands the main
tenance of the existing gold standard of
value. Three resolutions naming McKin-
ley as second choice were beaten by de-
cided majority 80. Maryland has also re
fused to instruct for Mckinley. Here are
IS votes, which together with 81 from
Pennsylvania, Messrs. Hanna and Gros-
venor will not have the face to claim.
The probability is that eventually Mr..
Reed will get most of them 80. The Re-
publican State convention at Virginia
passed resolutions endorsing Mckinley for
the Presidency..... One good thing at least
appears to have come out of the Louisi-
ana election, and that is the overthrow of
the corrupt municipal ring in New Or
leans by the Citizens League. As to the
State at large, the Demo Gratis have ma
jority of 20, 600 on the face of the returns,
but the Republican, Populist combination
threatens to contest the election on ground
of fraud. They claim to have proof that
SO, 600 Democratic votes were stuffed into
the ballot boxes in the black parishes.
