How il Happened.

In endeavOring last week to give
Cumberland all credit possible for
going the whole hog in its crusade
against "home industry" on the upper
Potomac the JOURNAL erred in stat
ing that "Cumberland held the boards
all alone" on previous occasion IN
Annapolis.
The independent calls attention to the
omission IN this language:
Read the reports of the Baltimore daily
papers, or ask any one who was present when
the question was before the committee on
hygiene last week, and you will find that
State Senator Dick, who is not from Cum Der.
land, not with Cumberland and certainly not
of Cumberland, made more noise than all the
Cumberland people that We're before that
committee.
An absence of several days occasion
ed "a pressure of work to which several
other 'errors and omissions" are trace
able.
And yet, if the JOURNAL in its
hurry had thought of Senator Dick
and of letter received from gentle
man concerning his argument, it
would have quoted this:
The Senator met the Cumberland cohorts
of anti pollution before the committee on Hy-
giene to day and completely demolished the
whole outfit.
There is much more of the same sort
showing that the independent and its
clientele are under obligations to kind
Providence for a pressure which, fore
ing condensation, occasioned an
omission eventually leading to an in
accurate report.

The Future.

The following report has reached
print in several papers:
Prominent coal operators estimate that the
bug vein IN the Georges Creek region can vet
supply lO0OOO,000 tons of coal the larger
part of which supply lies in the vicinity of
Midland. So far los 600, 900 tons has been
mined out of the Georges Creek basin, and
it is estimated that 81, 200, eco tons have been
lost through wasteful systems of mining dur
ing the 5S years of its existence.
The JOURNAL has excellent authority
for stating that the figures given,
though probably exaggerated. furnish
enough basis tor an expectation of
nearly % years of full work in the
locality named, standard OF 1899, re-
manning in Big Vein development.
Under former systems, or no-system
of mining, it is universally conceded
that a great amount of coal was lost.
Much of this, however, has been and
Is being recovered-so much that it
Is likely great portion Of the
80, 200, 900 tons" can be counted as
Il portion Of the "lOS, 900, 000."
Under current systems of mining
from 50 to 90 per- cent. of the coal is
taken ont ; hence, there will be very
little of the remaining "1OO,0OO,OOO
tons" lost.
When the Big Vein is gone, how
ever, there is future for the region
of long duration ahead, based by coal
mining students upon the lower veins.
These will be much harder to work
and raise to the surface, but the signs
of the times are prolific of demand for
them when they come into market.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
The same reasoning which makes
this year the first of the 20, h century
makes 1t also the first of the 18th.
The "bull' is not mine, but belongs
to Goth Century" though anyone
might be permitted to perpetrate one
on St. Patrick's day. For. admitting
that "2Oth Century" is right IN not
counting year one,' or rather 'the
first year" until an entire year has
passed, by the same token he should
not count century one or first century.
until an entire century has passed,
and, applying this to the centuries, he
ought to sign his name 18th century,
and should do so until Dec. 81, 1899.
Yours truly,
