Cheap Fuel-Iron and Steel Exports.


 We are in receipt of pamphlet copy or the paper on ''The Coal Industry of the Southeastern States of North Ameri- ca" read by Jeremiah Head, at the last meeting of the North of England h. stitute of Mining and Mechanical Engn- eers. MT. Head gives the results of his study of the coal mining resources and opera tions of the South Appalachian re- gion-taking up in turn the fields of Vir- gnia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ala bama Referring to the low rate of 4 mills per ton per mile which enables Bir- mingham coal producers to put coal flRe- on-board 1t Pensacola or Mobile at less than $2 per ton, or as low as bunker coal at the Northeastern ports of Grat Brit ain, MT. eHad says: "The railway facili- ties enjoyed by the Americans are in striking contrast with their absence here, British heavy products having to pay from three to five times the above rates per ton per mile. It is not, however, in direct -exportation that British pro- 1ucers need fear American competition. It is more in heavy goods, such as pig iron, steel rails, and bilets, which ab- sorb in their manufacture from one and half to two and half times their own weight in fuel In the case of such ex- ports, only one railway and sea freight is paid on all material used in producing one ton of product carried. Such goods are also practically undamageable, and are not much affected by delays of trans 1t; and being useful as ballast they are taken at low sea freights along with cot ton cargoes. Alabama pig iron so fa- Vored is already arriving in considera- ble quantities in European markets; and so for the time being. at all events, coals or the products into the manufacture of which they enter, are being literally ear ried to Newcastle.' or right into several of the coal-producing districts of Flu rope."-Iron Trade Review.

some months ago at this camp. As all the
mines at Mogollon produce silver In connection
with gold, the recent fall in the price OF silver
has made II necessary to work the mines on q
smaller margin than has been done heretofore.
The Confidence mill, operated by the Helen
Mining Company, in the Mogollon district, will
soon be run by wafer power. work on the power
plant having been commenced. This will re-
duCe considerably the cost Of treating the ore
milled by this company.
The manager Of the Hearst mines at Pinos
development work done. and is pushing the
three shafts toward the l,0o0-foot level as
rapidly as possible. These shafts will not be
completed to the 1000 foot level until some
time next year, and until that time IL Is not ex-
pected that the output OF the mines will be
large. The Hearst group OF mines has been pro-
duCing for a number OF years, but the former
owner developed them only as the ore deposits
were followed In taking out ore. The mines
will now be thoroughly developed TO a depth of
200 feet, which Is a greater depth than has
part Of New Mexico.
Some rich placer claims have been located in
Gold Gulch, between this place and Lordsburg.
The dirt Is worth about a dollar q cubic yard
near the surface. and gets richer as bedrock Is
approached. These claims are believed to be
the richest placer claims recently looated in the
Territory.
Another large smelter will soon be in opera
ton in, New Mexico. 1t will be at Cerrillcs,
rttory. The cost Of treating ores at this
emelter will be less than at any other smelter
In the Territory. on account OF the low cost OF
fuel. The capacity OF the smelter will be
eighty tons OF ore a day, and ii Is expected to be
In operation about the last OF September.

Policeman McGuire's AsaaiInnt Caught Again
at Last.


James. Brown, alias Eugene O'Hara sawed
through the bars in a window OF the Jefferson
Market prison on Aug. 81. 1891, and escaped a
trip to Sing Sing for stabbing q policeman.
Since then, barring a short term for burglary
spent in the penitentiary in Columbus, O., he
has enjoyed freedom until 2:25 yesterday
morning, when Central Office Detectives Val.
lely and O'Connell met him at Sixth ave-
nue. and Twenty-ninth street and put him under
arrest.
Brown. or O'Hara, as he is better known, is
AZ years old. and since 1878 he has been in trou-
BILE with the police. He has shot one policeman
and stabbed another. and he was more than sus-
pected Of having had a hand in the subsequent
drowning OF The policeman he shot. His escape
from Jefferson Market prison was one Of the
sensations OF the day.
The crime that hangs over O'Hara's head now
Is the stabbing OF Policeman Mcclure of the
West Twentieth street station. Or the night Of

Since his release he has been wandering about

him from time TO time, but were never able to
catch him. A few days ago Acting Capt. Nc
Clusky received word that he had been seen
in town. Valley and O'Connell were sent out
to look for him, with the result that they caught
him yesterday morning. He was arraigned

O'Hara was first arrested in 1879, when, as

crowded. The party started on the trip about
IL o'clock in the morning, and the three cars
bowled along about $50 feet apart. Most Of the
party were Germans. The first car, having a
clear road. set a fast pace and reached its desti.

got off at the old Hackensack turnpike. and
some waited for their companions on the other

singing "Ach. du lieber Augustin.'
The first OF the cars stopped. but when the
motormano OF the last car. John Devine, tried to
stop 1t by putting the brakes on hard, his hand
slipped from the brake handle. and he fell over
on the platform. He sprang up and put on the
brake with all his might, but his car smashed
into the middle one before the plotormano on the
latter could start ahead.

DIR TRIP TO OCRACOKE


we ever enjoyed, was the one
taken this week with the Degree
Team OF Achoree Lodge of this
city, to Ocracoke, for the pur-
pose of ins,ituting an Odd Eel,
lows Lodge at that place. With
a party of eighteen jolly gentle>
men of the Tripple-Link fra
ternity, we sailed OH the steamer
Newberne promptly at II o'clock
on Monday. The weather be-
ing delightful, the afternoon
was spent on the outer deck of
the boat in pleasant conversa>
ton. Alter enjoying most de-
1icious supper, the party assem-
bled in the saloon OF the ship,
where wit and good cheer ran
riot. Captain Rhodes, a prince
among commanders and a ia
vored son of our section, who is
ever want to serve his friends
and make their travel on this
charming steamer pleasant,
Joined the party, and with jokes
and happy conversation, added
much to the evenings pleasure.
Assistant engineer Edwards, a
man of pleasing preposessions
and fully up to all the require
mcnts of his responsible posi-
ton, with Inspiring music from
the guitar, interspersed with
songs, both comic and sentiment
tai, helped to make the hours
pass away most pleasantly.

of p. c. Fulweiler & Bro, mans

more ENJOYABLE for the smokers,
passed out a box of those choice,
highly favored cigars, The

leading brands. OF course, it is
needless for us to say all enjoyed
a good smoke
We arrived at Ocracoke at
mid night. Tuesday morning
lodge composed Of eighteen
members, was organized, and
the excellent manner in which
the "goat" did his work and the
splendid material that composes
the lodge, causes us to predict a
bright future for Odd Fellow
ship at that place. AS whole,
we never met more genial,
clever and accommodating lot
of people anywhere than those
at that place. We were treated
royalty and made to feel per-
fectly at home, and we shall
ever have pleasant memories of
our first visit among the island
ers of Ocracoke.
Our return trip was equally
as pleasant On the steamer as
the one going, and to the cap
tain and his crew and others
who contributed to the pleasure
of the trip, we desire to return
our sincere thanks.
