a MINE HORROR.
ConI Damp Causes FriGhtfuI Acct
denf In NNnshinptnm.

TACOMA, Dec. 11.-Furthcr particu-
lars of the terrible mining disaster at
Carbonate have been received. The eX-
ploson, it appears, occurred just as the
men were preparing to leave the shaft at
noon. About 50 men were in the mine Mt
the time. As the mine filled with fire
damp Immediately few had Il chance for
life. Several hours elapsed before efforts
could he made to enter the mine. The
surviving relatives focked around the
shaft. creating terrible scene with their
loud lamentations.
The last estimate Superintendent Da-
vies made of the number of dead is be-
tween 80 and 35. This is thought to be
conservative. Fifteen men have been
taken out alive, but terribly burned.
The cause of the explosion is Il mystery
to every one. Not even the miners res
cued can give the slightest possible ex-
PLANTATION.
The mines are owned by the Carbon
Hill Coal company. They gave work to
400 men and had an output of 300, 900
tons a year. The mines are in a deep ra-
vine through which the Carbon river
flows. They are supplied with every ap-
piance for safety. and the tunnels are SO
big that locomotives run into them.

MUCH MONEY COINED
Our Mint and Assay Offices
Have Busy Year.
GOLD COINAGE WITHOUT PRECEDENT
Government MINIS Have Been Run
ming Overtime to Meet Demands.
Production OF the Yellow
Metal increasing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. H. Mr.. Rob
erts, the director of the mint, in his an.
nual report says that the minis and assay
offices operated upon more bullion in the
aggregate and a greuter coinage was exc.
cuted during the last fiscal year than in
any previous year. Original deposits OF
gold were slightly less than during the
previous year, amounting in value to
$143,497, 100 against $147, 693, 1914 in the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1898. Domes-
tic deposits were the largest ~ our his.
tory, amounting to $76,252, 4S7 against
$69,SS1, 120 in the preceding year, but
there was a falling off in foreign coin and
bars.
The coinage of gold was the greatest in
our history, amounting to SOS, 117,1SO
against $G4, 1874, 800 in the preceding year,
and might have been considerably larger
if the capacity of the minis had been
greater. The stock of gold bullion on
hand increased from S96,6SS, $50 on July
1, 1898, to $119SS2,712 on July l, 1899.
The coinage of silver dollars from bull.
lion purchased under the act of July II,
1890, was $1S,254, 100 against $1,000.
$50 in the preceding year, and the coin
age Of subsidiary silver $9466, S77.65
against $6,4S2, S04.
The minis have been hard pressed
throughout the year to meet the demands
upon them, the institutions at New Or
leans and Philadelphia running overtime
for the greater part of the year.
The report suggests that the charges
for refining silver bullion be so reduced
as to put the government on an equal
footing with private concerns in the bust
ness or to such an extent as will bring
the moderate amount of silver bullion
they require for the treatment of gold
deposits. The total amount of silver bull
lion refined in the United States last year
was in round numbers "a 100000 ounces.
The superintendent of the New York as
say office, the report says, has called at
tention to the fact that although about
$50, 100000 in United States coin was ex-
ported last year no bars were taken for
export and suggests that the export
charge" of 40 of 1 per cent which is
eXactsd is operating to our disadvantage.
Tho total gold imports of the year
amounted to $SS.91S,S $50 and exports to
S3I 800, 1873. The total silver imports
were S31, 120.jIS. commercial value, and
silver exports $56.6J5.33J.
The stock of bullion in the mints and
assay Offices on July /. 1899, was as fol-
lows: Gold. S119,SS2, 112; silver CcosD,
$S5.515. sos.
The coinage of all nations, including
recoinages in 1898 was: Gold, $500 H.
900; silver, $40. 2S2 $50
The production of gold in all of the
important godhelds of the world is in
creasing rapidly and with prospects of
continued gains for years to come. The
yield in the world in the calendar year
1898 was S3S1 100000 against $33S0O0,-
, 600 in 1897

THE MOLINEUx TRIAL.
Mamie Melando Reluctantly Gives
Damaging Testimony.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The star wit
ness yesterday at the trial of Roland B.
Molneux for the murder of Mrs. Rather
inc ]. Adams was Miss Mamie Melando.
In fact she promises to be one of the
most interesting witnesses of this now
celebrated case. This grows out of the
fact that she was apparently an unwill-
ing witness for the prosecution, having
been induced to cross the state line from
her home in New Jersey to Sufferin, N.
Y, last week by detectives, having been
kept in the house of detention over Sun
day and having been subjected to a crit
ical cross examination by Captain Nc
Clusky and the attaches of the detective
office. Though her testimony had to some
extent been discounted by the apparently
damaging admission by the defense on
Friday last that Molineux wrote one of
the famous egg blue tricrescent" letters,
nevertheless public curiosity had been
whetted to a keen edge, and those who
believe in Molincux's innocence as well
as those who believe in his guilt were ex-
tremcly anxious to know just what she
would say when she made her appear
ance on the witness stand.
Miss Meando testified that she had
been employed as forcwoman of Moli-
neuXS paris green department at MS
Newark factory; that she was accustom-
ed to visit him at his private rooms on
the second floor; that he frequently made
her presents of books and papers and
that while in his room once during his
absence she helped herself to half a
dozen sheets of the robins egg blue pa
per with the crest of three interlaced
crescents. The significance of this evil
dence is found in the fact that Molineux
in his testimony before the coroner's jury
swore that he never possessed any paper
of this character.
The remainder of the testimony of Miss
Melando. though interesting, was not so
important. An attempt was made to
prove that she was still receiving weekly
checks from attorneys of MolineuX, but
though the witness nodded an affirmative
it was promptly ruled out by the re-
pOr1pr.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Important
meetings of the stockholders of the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway
company and the Davis Coal and Coke
company have been held in this city. By
n nearly unanimous vote of both corpora
tons the capital stock of the West Vir-
ginia Central was increased to $4,000
600, and the increased stock was applied
to purchasing all the lands and proper
ties, real and personal. of the Davis Coal
and Coke company by the West Virginia
Central. This brings under the owner
ship, control and management of the
West Virginia Central nearly 100000
acres of coal and timber lands lying east
of the Alleghanies, covering, it is stated
the largest body of bituminous coal near
est to tide water. The coal department
of the Consolidated company has about
700 coke ovens, which will soon be in.
creased to 1000. The capacity of the
mines is now about 5000 tons daily and
about 800 of coke. 1t is proposed, under
the consolidation. TO increase the output
of the mines to 5000 tons of coal daily
and the coke to ! 200 tons daily.
