The Life of n Conl Miner


First, the boy of eight or ten is sent
to the breaker to pick the slate and 9th.
er impurities from the coal which has
been brought up from the mine From
there he is promoted and becomes
door boy, working in the mine. AS he
grows older and stronger he is adj
vanced to the position and given the
pay Of a laborer. There he gains the
experience which secures him a place
as a miners helper, and as he acquires
skill and strength he becomes, when in
the height of his manhood and vigor,
full fiedged miner.
If he is fortunate enough to escape
the falls of rock and coal, he may re-
tain this position as miner for num-
Der of years But as age creeps on and
he is attacked by some Of the many
diseases incident to work in the mines
he makes way for those younger and
more vigorous following him up the
ladder whose summit he has reached.
He then starts on the descent, going
back to become q miners helper, then
a mine labOrer, now q door boy, ana
when old and decrepit he finally re-
turns to the breaker where he started
as a child, earning the same wages as
are received by the little urchins VINO
work at his side. There is no incen-
tive for ambition in the average min
er's life. He cannot rise to places OF
eminence and wealth. Only l in 500
can even be given place as foreman
or superintendent, and these are posi-
tions which few miners care to hold

HEIRS FIGHTS WASTE ESTATE.
MIR. Mitchell and Her Children May Have
Little Left Of Quarter Million.

A large part OF the fortune Of $3.50, 900
left by George l.. Mitchell, a wealthy dairy
mar of Fast Orange, N. j., who died in
1890, is said to have been dissipated in
litigation over his will by the widow. who
Is now the wife Of Prof. Thompson Of Orange,
and her sons, sons-in-law and daughters.
and there is every indication OF a fresh
outbreak In the near future. Mrs. Mitchell,
now Mrs. Thompson, was Joanna Wyckof,
a member OF the old Wyckof family OF

his fortune to his widow, with the proviso
hat she might divide IL equally among
the children during her life. After her
death the estate was 70 he divided equally

accounting. Almost at tho same time
Mrs. Mitchell brought suit in chancery
to have her rights defined.
The chancery suit lasted from 1895 until
last spring, and resulted in a victory for
the oldest son, after which the children
became reconciled with their mother.
But when Mrs. Mitchell said she was going
TO marry Prof. Thompson. all the children
save Lewis and Mrs. Cropsey protested.
especially John Cowenhovcn. who lives
at Leferts Park, and whose wife was
NAV Mitchell. In the midst Of the row
