Profitable ViSitatiOns.

1t is pleasant to record the fact that
the visits of high coal company Of
ticials to the region have been more
numerous this year than usual. At
this time Messrs. H. S. Little, presi-
dent, and Malcolm Baxter, of the New
Central Coal company are the guests
of Duncan Sinclair, mining superln-
tendent, at Midlothian, and W. Del.
Walbridge president, is visiting J. H.
Parrot, mining perintendent of the
American coal company, at Lonacon-
ing.
Julian J. Alexander, president Of
the Georges Creek Coal and Iron com
pany. is frequent visitor to his local
representative, r. l.. Somervllle,
Homecoming, and the same may be said
of l.. n. Lowell, president of the
Borden Mining company, who visits
Davisson Armstrong, resident agent.
Much of the summer has been spent
here by C. X. Lord, executive Of the
Consolidation coal company, in look
ing after the interests of that great
corporation. With b. S. Randolph,
superintendent, he has made the cir
cult until he has gained a knowledge
of Its resources and facilities which
leaves little if anything to learn.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Lord has not been in

LOCAL CORRESPONDENTS.
The Decadence of the Weekly
Newspapers.
FRosTBURG, Mp, Oct. 20, 1879

FRosTBuRG, Mp, Oct. 20, 1897.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
After going over and over again the
columns of last weeks Forum in search
of something that would contribute to
the realm of sentiment, the sphere of
thought or the circle of refinement,
laid the paper down in sorrowful con-
temptation of the fact that the average
weekly newspaper of to day is not
what it once was. | am not very old,
yet | remember when the columns of
the old-fashioned weekly newspaper
were edited by men OF thought and
culture, and, more generally than
otherwise, their weekly visitatlons af-
forded the family literary and whole
some repast.
But that seems to be all changed
now. The fippant fancy, the gross
conception and the vulgar slang of
this STANDARDIZATION have taken the
place of serious thought, elegant die
ton and refined sentiment.
The absence of the old-fashioned
weekly newspaper in the household is
having its effect upon the rising
generation. Only q comparatively
few families can afford metropolitan
daily, and even if all could take one,
the modern daily is very little above
the modern weekly in the line of in
telectual matter.
do not take the Forum as the worst
example of tie kind in question, but it
certainly measures up fully to "a low
average in the direction indicated
This community has been RECALLED for
weeks with a recital of the versatile
powers of Mr.. Fairchild as an orator,
scholar and humorist, and | have yet
to see anything in his paper that would
sustain a reputation for any of them.
His attempts az epigram are clumsy and
inapt. | write these words in a spirit
Of disappointment and not in the sense
Of hnimadverson, because it was given
cut that so much could be expected of
him.
Is it not possible that the tone and
fibre of the weekly newspaper eau be
enhanced? This question rests prin-
clpally with the reading public. If its
taste calls for nothing better than it
gets in the inside columnaof the BOrun
Inc public is to blame. 1t is through
The columns of the home paper that the

good is reilexed through the columns

ing to those who wander off after the

pated that the daily output will be
1000 tons. Already coal has been
dumped over the tipple at the rate of
10000 tons per day and it is thought
that there will not be the least diff
ticulty IN handling outside the eutire
product OF the mine, as all arrange,
ments have been made with that end
in view. The coal when loaded into
railroad ears goes out over short
branch to the main line of the c. 4 p.
This most important operation of
the company was laid ont by its Min
ing superintendent, Mr.. b. S. Ran
dolph. who is in general charge of all
the company's operatlonSln the region,
and is IN immediate charge of Fore
man Somerville, who has been with
the company III such capacity for Is
years. With one or two unimportant
exceptions this is the first new mine
opened in the district for twenty years.
A town has been laid ont at this
point which is TO be called LordoIph
and street is being graded and houses
built. These houses are built simply
as convenience 10 miners who may
wish to live in them and not as a source
of profit, nor is any one compelled to
live in them. Houses which cost $500
are rented at 81 per month which is
surely little enough if any regard be
paid to interest and depreciation.
THIS is one of the very few mining
districts where any number of miners
own their homes and here it is
quite the general thing. Many of the
houses are built on ) year leasehods

different to the interest of the region
as whole. 1t was he who brought
the biologists. headed by Sir Archi-
bald Geikie, here last spring, and later
became the host Of the Coal Trade
Journal, whose article elsewhere APP
pears. In both instances his object,
doubtless, was to call more attention
to the position which this region holds
in the mining operations of the coun-
try. AT any rate, this is the effect of
his enterprise-an effect which will be
more perceptibly felt next year than
this.
The JOURNAL believes the better ac-
quaintance formed by these frequent
visits will bring good results in more
ways than one. A mutually of in
terest will be recognized and promoted
that will be beneficial far outside of
those Immediately concerned.

LOCO tons per day. The small loads,
6-lo tons, carried 10y the iron ears es-
pecially fit them for this sort of bus
mess as they Go not dump too much
coal into the boats at once and so en-
danger them, ard then, too, the boats
can be flied more exactly by using
the small ears. 1t is interesting to
note that not many years ago these
cars were considered the ne Plus ultra
of coal transportation. Now no more
are built and all new cars are of wood
and of thirty tons capacity. To secure
this great capacity IN soft coal it is
necessary to have the sides almost as
high as those Of a box car.
The first mine passed, en- route to
Frostburg, is the No. Union mine Of
the Black, Sheridan, Wilson company.
All of the mines of this company are
called Union and designated further
by a number and those OF the Consol-
ldatlon coal company are in 81 milar
style called Ocean |, =, 3, /, 5, 6, I,
although they also retain old local
names. Near Union No. , is the site

used for regular passenger traffic.
An occasional car is run and the
twelvemile trip is very pleasant
ride.
The Consolidation coal company
owns the c. & P. railroad. of which
Mr.. l.. M. Hamilton is the general
superintendent. Although the Con-
solldation coal company is a very old
one it would be a great mistake to sup
pose that it is an "old fogy." On the
contrary, it is the most active factor
in the entire field, the management of
president G. X. Lord having already
caused it to make rapid progress.
This company is now by far the largest
operator in the field, and with its i'm
proved facilities will become still more
important, and, speaking of tonnage
we must not overlook the Black,
Sheridan, Wilson company, which
also ships over the B & o. railroad :,
and has the second largest tonnage
and some of the best property in the
district.

feet success with its great new venture,

Unnecessary Gloom.

Those republican pessimlsts who IN
dulge a Respondent view of Col.
George A. Pearres political future in
the event of Hon. David E. Dicks
accession to the State Senate, have not
taken into account the vast disappoint
ment awaiting the latter's failure to
knock out the Maryland Constitution
every time that great instrument comes
into conflict with ''any bill the miners
want"
Hence, the outlook for Pearre is not

Ocean Z will be one of the finest soft

was virgin forest this spring but it
is now getting into shape for business.
Tie main opening Is Il drift which is
reached through an archway II feet
and 6 inches in width and Is feet and

arch is cut stone and back of that is
stone work and brick work for dis
tance of $50 feet, which suffices to
carry operations well into the hillside
and into good solid coal. The seam is
ten feet in thickness but not all is
taken out because the slate above
would not form so good a roof as the
coal and 1t Is more economical to let
one foot Of coal stay in rather than
use All excessive number Of very long

which the coal produced in this mining
