Money to Burn.

Cook county may get Its road to Two
Harbors after all. It has wanted one
for long time. and now, somewhat to
ito surprise, it finds itself ia the position
OF having all kinds OF money This sud-
den influx OF wealth is the resultof the
forfeited tax sale, which was held there
this week as it was 10 every county all
over tho state. a 5ss.
None OF them had any better time
ovsr it than Cook county, however. @ ook
county, be it understood, is made up
largely OF prospects for the future, as
st. Louis county was one day, and as,
indeed, all Of the rsst Of the Northwest
has been within the memory OF men still
living. Settlements in The county are
not very frequent, nor are they very
large when one does occur, But all over
its area there ara mil lions Of feet Of
timber; and under the timber there are
rocks and geolo gical formal lions that may
contain any amount OF mineral deposits
of great value. How important these
deposits are no man knows, but many
have guessed that they are pretty big,
and that some day they will produce
wealth for the owners OF the property.
Some Of these gusssers spent money
to back up their hazards, but later grew
tired OF paying taxes, and some Of them
omit It. The result was that a11iEa a

Cause of the strike.

The present strike in the coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania is result of
contention over the arbitration of a
point in dispute between miners and
operators, The miners demanded an
increase in wages and the employers
refused. The miners then asked for
arbitration. This was not refused, but
it's acceptance was delayed and the
strike was called. In the meantime
the price of hard coal has gone up
from Sc to 81 and may go as high as
SIS, The operators claim to have suf-
ficient coal on hand to supply the
winters demand. But the strike will
probably end in a few weeks.
Many ugly rumors are being put in
circulation to the effect that the strik-
ers are being made the victims of a
political trick by their leaders and

gan. The price there is now s7.75 per

are compelled to raise the prices.

eral among the upward of $4,000 men
employed.
Indications point to the closing o.
some mines in the last named district
despite the assertions of officials of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company and other com
panies operating the region that they
will continue their collieries in opera
ton.
A Strike without Violence.
With the exception of trivial in
cident at No. 8 colliery of the Lehigh
Coal company, where a gang of boys
compelled mule driver to seek cover
by throwing stones at him. the contest
thus far has been devoid of violence
The exact number of men who

Reports received by the United Mine
Workers officials from the entire an
thracite region were to them satisfac-
tory. In this territory, known as Dis
trict No. Z, there are $4,000 men en-
ployed in and about the mines. OF
this number it is conservatively esti-
mated that about so per cent, or 5000
miners, obeyed the order of President
Mitchell to quit work. Five thousand
of these belong to collieries which did

The English war Office is experiment
ing with new magazine rife. tits
the invention of an Australian and it
possesses several advantages over the
Lee Metford arm, which is at present
employed In the British army The
automatic feed Of the cartridge from
the magazine into the breech is a
striking feature. 1t was tried at Bis
ley in the recent competitions and fired
thirty shots in the minute, with 2s
hits, Of which II were bulls-eyes.
The rife is said to be vastly superior
10 either the Lee-Metford or the Maui
ser in strength, efficiency and simpli-
city of construction, while it is S5 per
cent cheaper 10 manufacture and is one
and one-fourth pounds lighter than the
prefeat Lee-Metford rife. 1t has been
strongly recommended by Lord
Cnarles Beresford and there is little
Cspbt that it will be introduced into

A curious coincidence is mentioned
in the latest Melbourne papers, An
Australian lady, who was just conclud-
ing her visit to London, left or lost
her purse on the roof of bus in the
Strand. AS it happened, the next pas
senger to take the seat she vacated
was also an Australian and he found
the purse. One of her visiting cards
was inside, and the finder recogniz-
ing the name, communicated with the
lady in Melbourne and the purse was

Number of Men Out.
The anthracite coal miners strike
has started in the four great districts
which supply practically all the hard
coal OF the world. President John
Mitchell asserts that he has reports
showing 10000 men are out, and that
more will join the strikers ranks
within few days.

declare. that while many men are out,

long for lack of funds and because
they cannot stop all operations.
The hard coal region is divided into
four great districts-the Lackawanna,
Wyoming Lehigh and Schuylkill re-

ploying a few hundred men is being
operated, and this the strikers say
they hope to close soon.
