Lehtsh,s Ele eric Mining Plant.

The Lehigh Of to-day is not the Le-
high of u few months ago. A large
power house has been erected near
the entrance to the Electric Light
and Coal Co. mine, in which is placed
one Of the Jeffery Manufacture ng Co
electric plants. Mr.. Collins was sent
out by the company from Columbus,
Ohio. to superintend the setting of
the plant, which is now in perfect
running order. The plant has !. ca
pacity Of l25 horse power, which il
sufficient to light the mine aud oper-
ate several cutting machines. Insu-
lated wires are run from the power
house into the mine which supply
force for cutting and drilling. The
cutting machine cuts horizontally
I feet into solid bei of coal, n
inches wide and 4 inches deep. The
machine stands on u truck. and the
incision is made at the bottom of the
vein, in about ~ minutes time.
When sufficient number of cuts
have been made, the drill, also oper :
ated by electricity is. applied in the
upper part of the vein, two or three
blasts put in, and down comes the
coai in great chunks. Under the
old process of mining, the miners
were obliged to get down on their
knees and make an opening at the
bottom of the vein with picks, and
very slow tedious work it WAS.
A great deal of new track has been
laid in the mine the past month, new
rooms opened up, and as fast as possi-
BILE additional help is placed ut work.
The present force Of men is 30, divid-
ed into day and night shifts. mining
Is cars of coal per day, or 225 tons.
Travelling Salesman John Hess says
that the company could easily dispose
Of 25 cars of coal a day and that they
need another cutting machine to ena-
BILE them to supply the demand.
A new siding, exclusively for the
use of the Electric Light and Coal
Co., has heen put in bv the Northern
Pacific, and the elevation of the track
leading from the mine to this track
has been raised and a screen put In,
over which all the coal is run, clean
ing it from all dirt. This dirt, or
slack as it is called at the mine, IS
hauled to the power house for fuel.
The company say that they have
power sufficient to do all of their
mining and to furnish 1900 lights in
Dickinson. and as soon as the frost is
out of the ground next spring the
wire will be stretched that will fur
nish this place with electric lights.
The Electric Light and Coal Co. is
otficered by some of Dickinson's
first business men, viz: V. H. Stick
ney. president: ]. F. Brodie, general
manager; A. Hilliard, treasurer, John
Courtney. secretary; j. NJ. Brady,
superintendent Of mines.
The people of this place know that
when Messrs. Hilliard and Stickncy
take hold of Il business enterprise it
does not lack for capital and business
energy. Mr.. Brodie is thoroughly
familiar with all the details of coal
mining. having made careful study
of many Of the best equipped eastern
electric coal mining plants, being Il
man of keen perception. Mr.. Brady
is a frst-class mine superintendent,
and John Courtney keeps set Of
books that would reflect credit upon
any book-keeper.

Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. Irl r. Hicks by
those who do not fully understand
the facts, there is no denying the
truth that his paper and Almanac
have come to stay. His splendid
journal, Word AND WORKS, is now
entering its tenth year, largely in
creased in circulation and in every
way improved, until it deserves the
national reputation it has attained.
His 1897 Almanac is now ready and
is by far the finest and most beauti-
full he has yet issued. 1t contains
1O8 pages, including cover artistically
painted in colors, and is filled from
back to back with just what is
wanted in every shop, office and
home in America. One feature Of
the Almanac for 1897 is series of IL
original, beautifully engraved star
maps, with explanatory chapters,
which could not be bought for less
than five dollars in any work on
astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks has so
correctly and faithfully warned the
public of coming droughts, floods,
cold waves, billiards, tornadoes and
cyclones, in the years passed, aside
from the other varied and splendid
features of his paper and Almanac,
these considerations alone should
prompt every family to subscribe at
once for 1897. The Almanac is only
25 cts. a copy. WORD AND Work. Is
one dollar year, and copy of the
fine Almanac goes as premium
with every yearly subscription.

What They Think About Kent.

Mandan Pioneer: The people of
this county feel that justice has been
outraged, and they feel that Gov. AL
lin and Judge Mcconnell are largely
responsible therefor. Here was
crime that justified the EXTREMIST
penalty of the law. 1t seems from
the action of some of the politicians
of the state-men like Alex McKen-
zie, Hansbrough, Cooper, Bray and
others-that the more infamous 81
crime is, the greater the sympathy
for the criminal. The action of Judge
Mcconnell and Gov. Allin is - prac-
tical invitation to the people of the
state to enact such crimes us was re-

zens Of this county, that the sympa-
thy for Kent IS of maudlin charac-
ter, and that the next man that COM
mits the crime of murder should he
strung TO the nearest telegraph pole,
without trial by judge, jury or COVER
nor. Such action is sure to come,
and while it will be extremely de-
plorable, yet it will serve the pur-
pose of clearing the atmosphere of
its present haze, and will be u notice

We will not pass over in silence
the extraordinary light that has come
to Judge Mcdonnell, although he
fails to disclose where the aforesaid
light comes from. He positively re-
fused to join in the application for q
communication of sentence on October
l8, and not until four days before the
date that He had himself set for the
execution. did he make up his mind
to join in the cry with the anarchists
and politicians to have Kent's sem
tence committed. What was the
cause of Judge McConnell's change
of hearts nobody knows, and they can
only suspect. Needless to say. the

Thanksgiving was a terrible day
out of doors, probably the worst No
vember day in the annals of the state.
Early in the morning it was not so
bad but by 10 O'Clock the wind was
blowing gale and the fine snow filled
the air. 1t grew steadily worse and
by three o'clock the flying snow
was binding and person could
scarcely see a half dozen blocks away.
The temperature lowered quite a lit
tie during the afternoon and night,
and people who had well-flIed cellers
of coal and were comfortably situated
at home had great reason to feel truly
thankful. Friday morning the con-
ditions were little. if any. improved,
the wind having swept the prairies
all night with terrific force from the
northwest, driving and twisting the
12 or IA inches of snow into all sorts
of shapes. BY 100 clock the weather
had improved and people about town
commenced to dig out their front
doors.
