$4,000 Nc n Idle.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, July l9.-The close
OF the second day of the stationary
firemen strike finds fully $4,000 miners
idle in the Wyoming district of the
anthracite coal region, which extends
from Duryea to Nanticoke. The num-
Der of idle men was increased yester-
day by the SUSPENSION of railroad crews
on nearly all coal branches. No coal
being mined. there is none to haul to
the breakers. The whole number ct
men idle now in the entire anthracite
region is estimated at $4,000. There are
10000 mineworkers in the Lackawanna
region, but they are not all out. If the
strike extends to the Hazleton Schuyl-
kill and Shamoken regions, 100000 men
may be idle before long. The tie-up in
this region is complete and the strikers
ore much encouraged.

generation of the Burr family, who
died at Bridgeport, Conn.,, last week,
at the age of ninety, was the fifth
cousin Of Aaron Burr, third vice-presii-
dent of the United States, who killed

statesman, in duel in 1904. Her death
recalls the fact that, though the famil-

to bring the families together again by
the marriage of Elizabeth Burr and
Alexander Hamilton in 1886.

Chicago, July q. Through the Efforts
OF the Illinois Central railway manage.
ment syndicate Of Illinois capitalists
has been formed to develop the iron
fields Of Kentucky. The syndicate iss
headed by J.. w. Harrison, formerly
president OF the Il Stuckie Hardware
Company Of st. Louis, and as a begin,
ming 1t has purchased 10000 acres OF
land ir Trigg county and has started
two one-hundred-ton factories "a at
Grand Rivers. Investigation by ex.
perts have determined that Kentucky
lands within a few years may become,
the greatest source for iron ore in the.
United States. This belief is also.
shared by a syndicate Of Milwaukeo

acres OF land and to erect number OF

charge yesterday in speaking Of the
future Of Kentucky iron lands said:
!. Before we decided to enter into the,
enterprise we HAD tests made and De-
came Convinced that the iron ore sup-|
ply of Kentucky is practically mex
haustible. There is enough ore in the.
lands we have purchased to meet the
entire demand Of the country for thel
next ninety years. In my opinion 1t,
will not be long before the principal
supply for iron ore will be Kentucky,
The. furnaces we have erected at Grand
Rivers are only a beginning and we
will extend our furnaces as rapidly as
possible"
