-Four Mexico Investors Win Develop
Large Coal Fields in This County
on a Wide Scale.

NJ. B. Guthrie and &. &. Locke left
for the vicinity Of Benton City
and Marimsburg Wednesday for the
purpose OF developing some promising
coal lands located about 4 miles from
the Wabash railroad. The gentlemen
named have with them twelve or
fifteen men and will make q thorough
investigation Of the field. About ten
days will be taken to push the inves-
tIgation. Those interested in the
movement are N. B. Guthrie, 3. R.
and 8. NJ. Locke and ohas. Allen, and
they have issued the following state
ment:
"a pocket of coal four or ave feet
thick has long been known to exist
In that section, but the area has never
been determined. For some weeks
We have been making inquiries as TO
this and other Missouri coal fields,
and think the outlook justlfies the ex-
pendIture necessary In prospecting
the field. The coal is thought to be
OF unusual thickness, and II Of
sufficient quantity 9 switch win be
built from the Wabash and the neld
opened up"
Mr.. Guthrie Wednesday morning
said the prospects we're very haster-
ing and that optioEs on about 500
acres had been secured. He intimatea
that options on much more win have
been secured by midnight Wednesday.

THE CENSUS OF CUBA.
The COlcred People Of the Island Not
in the Majority, Is is General
~ Supposed

The census of Cuba, that was taken
under the direction Of Gen. Sanger, Of
the United States army, contains
many interesting and some surprising
facts. II also corrects several false
impressions that prevailed among all
writer's on Cuban topics and were
based on popular Fumor. For exam
pie, It il generally supposed that the
colored people are largely in the ma
jority among the population ofCnoa,
whereas the census shows that they
amount only TO 50 per cent. including
mixed elements and I'll persons With
colored blood in their veins. The ma
tive whites constitute SIS per cent,
or considerably more than one-half Of
the population of Cuba, and only 81
per cent OF the entire population is Of
foreign birth, including the Chinese,
which is also q great surprise. This
mistake, however, is doubtless due to
the fact that most of the foreigners
i've in the cities, where people form
their impressions. For example, AZ.
per cent of the citizens of Havana are
Of foreign birth, and writers have
generally measured their ideas OF
Cuba from what they have seen in
that and other cities.
Another surprise is the large excess
OF males in the population, which
amounts to So per cent, and is due to
the immigration Of laborers from
Spain, the Canary islands and else
where. This also contradicts the
popular impression that the adult
male population in many parts of the
island was nearly exterminsted by
the spsniards.
In Cuba, IS per cent of the entire
population IL of school age, numbering
552,s2s, but only 16 per cent, or 3d.
o72 has even attended school, and
the most Of those are in the city and
province OF Havana. The percentage
Of lliterAtes, however, has decreased
considerably during the last forty
years. BY the census Of 1851 81 pei
cent Of the population was unable to
, read, by the census Of 1887, y pei
cent and by the census Of 1899, 81 pei
cent. Thus in thirty eight years the
u~Iitaratee have decreased from four
ffths to two-thirds of the tota
, population. Out of the entir'
|, population Of Cuba, numbering 1895,
7p7, with 552,s 2s of school age, onl,
, Ae,414 are now attending school AM
only 10, 15s are reported by the censu
: as having superior education"
l But the most surprising feature o
the returns Is the number OF person
, living as husband and wife b.
mutual consent without marriage
Only "a per cent of the adult popnlA
1 ton Is married, and outside Of Havan
4 the percentage Is very much smaller
! In Pinar del Rio only 10 per cent,
Matanzas IA and in Santiago only ]
\ per cent have ever been lawful
married, the explanation being th
high fees charged BY the priests TO

duty and should be the pleasure Of all
a people to answer promptly all
questions asked. A great deal Of
money ia spent in taking the census,

the Increasing or decreasing length Of
life, Of the actual amount Of child
labor, Of the average marrying age, OF
the relative size Of families Ct differ

ton V to the conjugal relations Of

and single persons, the proportion Of
the married and single among our
nstive and foreign-born population,
the quantity and general character
istics Of our immigration, the probable
future destiny OF the black race and
the Indian tribes can only be obtained
by such questions as: How many
males and how many females live in

To what race do they belong? Exact
knowledge is the indispensable pre-
nminsry Of all political and social
progress. A really accurate census
