S1st 1900. were $65s ,1s0.61. as compared
with $sl6, 1916 for the year ending July
31st 1899. A balance Of SOS, 696.44. left
on July a1st. 1899. to the credit OF the
prison binding Irvine fund, has been
spent. and the cash receipts for the
year 1900 amounted. on July 31st. to
s449. 494.60.
During the year that our friends of
the opposition have had control OF the
prison Irvine plant, I find that they
purchased exceedingly large amounts
of sisal. the monthly statements have
before referred to showing upwards OF
100000 pounds of fiber purchased. I
am informed by Warden Reeve that
the average price paid for this large
amount of raw material was a fraction
over 1-s cents per pound, and that
there remained on hand. Aug. 1st, 1900.
1.175.5S9 pounds of sisa1 and 1855
pounds Of manufactured Irvine.
I find by the market report published
in the Cordage Trade Journal of Sept.
6, 1900, that the market price of sisal Is
from 3-S to LIZ cents per pound, and
the tendency is toward lower prices.
The prison Irvine plant is thus shown
to be in possession OF /. f75,539 pounds
Of sisai at the end of the season, for
which it has paid almost 8 cents more
than the current market price. I also
find in the same trade journal, that the
market price quoted Sept. 9Th for
Standard SisaI Irvine is to z IL cents
per pound. I find from the statement
made to me by the prison authorities,
that from Sept 5, 1899. to Feb. 8, 1900,
the farmers who had ordered Irvine
from the state prison were charged 10
cents per pound for mixed" Irvine,
and from Feb. to Aug. 1, 1900. 10 cents
for sisal and II IL cents for mixed,
and as the prison Irvine is sold at a
figure but very little above cost, and Is
manufactured at a low cost. owing to
the cheapness of prison labor, it is not
likely that the surplus stock of fiber at
the prison could be manufactured and
sold at lower prices except at loss.
The farmers who ordered their Irvine
from the state prison in the spring an :
early summe1. at the prices above
quoted, have had the modification of
seeing Irvine of the same quality Of
fered by jobbers at to cents, or 2 to
cents lower than the prison twine-
I am informed by the prison author
tiles that on July 81, 1900. the outstand-
ing accounts of the prison Irvine plant
amounted to $375. S65.s4. It has been
customary for all bills for Irvine to be
! paid up by the farmers by Dec. 1st
each year, but the indications are that
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-09-28

there win be a large sum uncollected
on Dec. LIST OF this year. The only term
which can describe the management Of
the prison Irvine plant by the present
administration is the word 'un-
businesslike," and the results Of
their efforts at the end of the
season are not such as to breed
confidence in their future binding Irvine

pies in the manufacture Of Irvine.

is not one OF which they have any rea-
son to be proud. Their brief irruptions
have not been to the advantage of the
state or to the interests of the taxpay-
ers. They have been given three trials
and found lamentably wanting on each
occasion, and there is no indication that

On the other hand, the Republican
party has been the promoter and orig
inator of all that has been useful and
beneficial to the state. Our laws and
institutions have come from Republic
an hands. and stand to-day monuments
TO the fidelity and intelligence OF Re-
publican lawmakers and officials. That
the Republican party has earned the
confidence Of the people is evidenced by
the fact that. with the brief interrupt
tons I have before referred to, it has
been entrusted with the, complete adj
ninistration OF the states affairs for
forty consecutive years. How the trust

1900 with those for 1898, that is. the first
full year OF Democratic administration
with the last full years of Republican
administration Of the department, it is
seen that the expenses of grain in
spection during 1900 exceed the 1898 ex-
penses by $16,2T447. IF the cost Of the
board of grain appeals is added to the
1900 expenses, this excess is increased
to $50, 507.47 over 1898. There were more
cars of wheat inspected in 1898 than
were inspected in 1900, yet the cost of
inspection was greater by SIG. 274.47, ex-
Guiding the board OF appeals, and this
increased cost is sufficient to pay q
additional employees 5000 per year each.
Whether or not the employees staff was
increased to that extent, am not pre-
pared to say, but it could be done for
that amount OF money.
These figures do not bear out the
statement of Gov. Lind that the So
called Democratic reforms have been
carried out without increased expendi-
lures. They show that the contrary is
the case.
The state Prison binding Irvine

The farmers Of the state are vitality

It is to their immediate interest that it
should be conducted on an economical
business basis. In 1898 the opposition
made great promises as to how they
would improve the management Of the
plant and increase its usefulness to the
farmers. if they were given the power.
AS a result OF the election two years
ago the opposition secured control of
the management Of the state prison

now review the work of the new adj
ministration.
From the monthly statements Of the
expenses OF the state prison at Still

State Grain Inspection.
In his speech Of acceptance, Gov.
Lind discussed the state grain inspec-
ton department and certain changes
which were designated reforms which
have been effected therein during his
administration. In concluding his re-
marks on this subject, the governor
said:
II viii only add that these reforms
II the grain service have been ac-
complished without any increase Of ex-
penditure; on the contrary. the ex-
pense OF the service during the crop
year just closed. under Mr.. Reishus'
administration, was $2.201.7 rs less than
the cost OF the service during the pre-
tration.
The former chief grain inspector ter
minated his services with the depart
ment about Aug. 1. 1899. so that during
the first seven months of Gov. Lind's
term Of Office he was In ostensible
charge of the department, although a
number of changes and appointments
were made for him for which he was

this in order to show that no. fair COM
parison can be made between the last
year and the preceding year. as the
term of the Republican chief Inspector
overlapped the first year Of Gov Lind's
administration.
The only fair comparison is one be-
tween the last full year, when Inspect
or Clausen held Office under a Repub-
lican governor, and the full year dur
ing which Inspector Reishus has held
Office under a Democratic governor
that is, between the years of 1898 and

opponents. and for that reason I will

Annual Report OF the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners for the year
ending Nov so, 1899. which was made
by Chief Grain Inspector E. s. Reishus
The figures for 1900 were taken from
the reports of Mr.. Reishus to the state
auditors Office. These figures show
that the expenses OF the grain inspec-
ton department for the crop years

A CANAL ACROSS FLORIDA.

Thus We May Steal the Gulf Stream De-
clares Berlin.
Berlin has been taking lively in
terest in the report that an American
engineer has suggested the idea of
digging canal through the peninsula
OF Florida in order to divert the Gulf
Stream from the west coast of Europe
to the east coast of America. Berlin
ers, however, do not display much
anxiety over the possibility of the
United States, as it were, robbing the
northwest of Europe of some of It's
warmth. They admit that Florida,
being fiat, does not oppose great EN-
gineering difficulties to canal dig
ger whose ambitions are within ordi-
nary limits. But to make o canal
which would accommodate the Gulf
Stream would entail an expenditure
in comparison with which the cost of
the Suez or Panama canals would be
a mere feabte. The Suez Canal
is 160 kilometres long, 100
metres broad, and eight metres
deep. 1t cost 1000, 600 marks.
The Florida peninsula, at the point
ucIo IL 10 W = iutcISeClcti, lS ululOSt
as broad as the Suez Canal is long; or,
perhaps, five or ten kilometres less.
The Gulf Stream is about 100
kilometres broad, and 200 metres
deep, and the new canal would have
to be equally broad and deep. That
is to say, it would have to be 25 times
as deep and more than 1000 times
as broad as the Suez Canal; and the
cost of excavation, quite apart from
the extra expense of working at such
a depth, would amount to 10, 900, 000,-
900 of marks. or $500 times as
much as the indemnity paid by France
to Germany. Quite apart from the
question whether it is technically
possible to dig such a broad canal to
depth of 200 metres, the impos
sibility of raising such a sum may de-
liver Europe from the fear of the
northwest of the continent being SUBJ
jected to such an enormous lowering
of temperature.
After thus seriously considering
the idea, Berlin has arrived at the
conclusion that the formation of Il
company will be about as far as this
newest canal scheme is likely TO get.

the life is not an alluring one. The
pay is small, the work hard and the
dangers still many. The only really
pleasant way to be connected with q
coal mine is as the owner of one.
Our Appalachian coal fields alone
could supply the world with fuel for
centuries. They are the largest and
richest known, and they are SO stu
ated that the coal can be shipped from
them long distances by water. From
Pittsburg coal can be carried for
eighteen thousand miles on navigable
streams, and the CRATE fires of the
South blaze with the rays from the
black diamonds from Pennsylvania.
The Ohio River is the great coal chute
for the Mississippi valley. The coal
is carried down it IN great barges,
pushed by little steamers, and so fast
ened together that single ste amer
will push acres of coal. Loads of
twenty thousand tons are taken. A
vast amount of coal is carried on the
canals and the great lakes from one of
the chief highways of the coal traffic.
The amount of coal carried on the
railroads is almost beyond conception.
The Philadelphia and Reading has
more than fifty thousand coal cars,
which are dragged by nine hundred
coal locomotives. These cars are kept
busy in carrying anthracite coal. The

African Rivers.

1t is distinguishing feature oi
most African rivers that they contain
no water for at least eight months OF
the year. 1t is true that water can
almost always be found in river bed
by digging for it, but in outward ap-
pearance a river is usually broad
belt of sand lying between high and
precipitous banks. Many and many
coach has been upset in one of these
drifts, as they are called. The de-
scent is always steep, frequently so
steep that the brakes cannot hold the
coaches.
They start going down at crawl,
and then the coach gathers way and
goes on with rush, the mules are
driven into heap anyhow, and one
wonders that they do not get their
legs broken; but they usually land
all right, while the coach, practically
unmanageable, goes down like sort
of toboggan, jumping from stone to
stone, and swaying like ship IN
sudden squall, and may or may not
arrive right side uppermost at the
bottom. In fact, the passenger who
has gathered his ideas of coaching
from trip to Brighton or a drive to
Virginia Water. finds that he has
lot to learn about the subject when he
gets to South Africa. Still, on the
whole, it was wonderful how few ac
cidents did occur, and if one considers
that the coaches ran night and day.
and that when there was no moon it
would sometimes be too dark to sec
the mules from off the coach, it re-
fleets great credit on the drivers. The

the blacksmiths, but they didn't know
how to use it, and it was very unpop-
ular. Some of it was shipped to Phil
adelphia by Colonel Shoemaker and
sold there. 1t was not at all satisfac-
tory, and s. writ was gotten out from
the city authorities, denouncing the
colonel as knave and scoundrel for
trying to impose rocks upon them as
coal. Still Philadelphia has largely
been built up by anthracite coal, and
so, 900, 900 tons of this coal were taken
out of the Pennsylvania fields in 1896.
Since then so ne of these coal lands
have been sold as high as $1,000 an
acre, and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Company, in 1871, paid $40, ,OOO,-
600 for 100000 acres of coal land in
this region.
1t is hard to estimate the enormous
amount of money the United States
makes out of its coal. We get more
than three times as much out of our
coal mines as out of our gold mines,
and the silver metal is not in it with
the black diamonds. There is little
region in eastern Pennsylvania, about
hundred and twenty five miles from
Philadelphia, and not more than two
hundred miles from New York, which
produces every year coal to greater
value than all the gold mines of the
Rockies, Canada and Alaska. 1t is
our anthracite coal fields which turn
out between $4,000, 900 and 60, 900, 900
tons of anthracite every year. We
have in addition to this hundred and
thirty odd million tons of bituminous
coal annually. We have, in short, the
biggest and best coal measures on the
globe. 1t is estimated that our coal
east Of the Rocky Mountains covers
1922 square miles, and within the
past few years coal has been found in
many parts of the Far West. Colo
RADIO will eventually be great manu-

explosions, and by the food Of cur
bonic acid and gas which follows them.
The statistics show that even in the
United States one miner is killed for
every hundred thousand tons of coal
mined, and those who are injured
number many times this proportion.
The first coal found in America was
near Ottawa, Illinois. It is mentioned
by Father Hennepin, French ex-
plorer, who visited there in 1879.
The first mines worked were about
Richmond, Va. This coal was dis
covered by boy while out fishing.
He was hunting for crabs for bait
in small creek, and thus stumbled
upon the outcroppings of the James
River coal bed. Our anthracite coal
fields have perhaps paid better than
any other coal fields of the world.
They were. discovered by a hunter
named Nicho Allen, when George
Washington vas President. Allen
encamped one night in the Schuylkill
regions, kindling his fire upon some
black stones. He awoke to find him.

on fire, and anthracite was burning
for the first time. Shortly after this
a company was organized to sell an
thracite coal. It was taken around to

A New Style of Fog Horn.

How to render navigation safe in
thick weather is question which has
engaged the attention of many in
ventors and experimentalists without
any very satisfactory result at the
present day.
There are now in use several instru-
ments, notifications of the mega.
phone, which are intended to be car
ried on vessels for the purpose of To-
eating fog signals, be they on ship or
shore. All such inventions are in
tended for the listener. 1t occurred
to r. L. Foster that this was working
at the wrong end of the problem, and
that the proper place to locate fog
signal was in the signal itself, so that
if person heard it at all he could be
certain of its direction, without being
compelled to use any instrument.
On this theory signal was built
and installed at Falkner's Island, in
