Washington, Oct. S.-An interesting
report on the Hot Springs reservation
in Arkansas has been submitted to
the secretary of the interior by the
superintendent, Martin A. Eisele.
Mr.. Eisele says hat the springs

high water mark of popularity. Ac-
cording to the best estimates there
were so, 600 visitors during the season.
The income to the government from
water and ground rents amounted to
$751; 70, while the fixed charges were
only about fourteen thousand dollars,
leaving a fair balance, which, in &C.
cordance with the liberal policy of the
government, was available for inn
provements of different portions OF
the reservation.
The reservation includes oil acres.
and in this tract there are 157 govern

tendent says the sale of these lots.

SOME MISLEADING FIGURES.
Calculated to Create I'm
the Minds Of the Unthinking.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. Snow that a
convention to consider the ten per
cent. increase offer is assured, atten-
ton is turned 10 the question of what
the companies mean by ten per cent.
in the case of the miner and his help
er.
The miner works by contract and
pays the laborers out of his earnings.
AS a rule the miner cuts six loads of
coal, for which he gets $3.50. Out Of
this he pays for powder, oil and repair
for tools and the wages of his helper.
The laborers' pay is fixed at SO much
per day, and in that region it averages
about one dollar and seventy-tive
cents. After paying the laborer and
the expense of powder, oil, ETC., h
miner has about two dollars and thir-
ty cents left for himself. Ten per
cent. advance gives the miner 63 cents
extra per day. The laborer wants his
ten per cent, or Is cents, and as a
the miner must be on
tent with As cents, or seven e cent.
But in many instances a miner has
two laborers. This mean that 36
cents must come out of his 63 cents,
and the miner finds himself enjoying
an advance of only five per cent.
Just how the operators want this
offer interpreted is not known here.
The local operators say that the men
who framed the offer either did not
have in mind that the miner pays the
laborer, or else, having this in mind.
figured the laborer out of the consid-
Grafton altogether, and left it for the
miner and laborer 10 settle between
themselves what, if any, portion of
the ten per cent. the laborer should
receive. The laborers will not, it is
thought, be content with anything
less than a full ten per cent. raise, and
this. it is thought, is going to cause
a hitch when the convention comes to
consider the question.

HAVE ACHIEVED A VICTORY.
The Dispute, is by No
Means Settled.

Means Settled.
indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 9.-W. Il.
Wilson, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
United Mine Workers of America, has
issued a statement in which he says
in part:
".All of the Goa operators having
now conceded an advance in wages, il
can be truthfully said hat the min
ers of the anthracite region have
achieved a great victory. Yet the dis
pute is not settled, nor will it be,
ever though the miners accept the
proposition of the operators and re-.
turn to work. The sliding scale, dock
age, semi-monthly pay and other
grievances complained of by the min
ers have not been considered in the
proposition of the operators, and the
advance in wages is so complicated
that many of the miners do not I'M
derstand it. Under these circum-
stances the surest and pest method of
securing a settlement and establish
ing permanent peace, would come
from a meeting of the operators with
the anthracite miners when they
meet to consider the offer of h coal
companies.
The anthracite Goa field is divided
by its mountain ranges into three dis
tinct regions, each having geological
conditions peculiar to itself, thus re-
curing different systems of workin.
and different methods and employ
lent.
"The only method by which salts
factory explanations can be made is
for the operators to meet the minsrs
when a convention is held to consider
the offer OF the operators"
