Washington, October 2.-(special)-To- day in Washington has been in adminis- tration circles one largely employed in getting things in readiness for the con ference of the President and the prin- cipals in the coal strike.

ICE MINES IN ARIZONA.
They Promise Good Returns to the
Men Who Are to Work Them.

gnlladelpnld inquirer.
Nowhere in the world does there exist an
industry so unique that just, being put
in operation IN northern Arizona, where
elaborate plans are being laid to utilize the
product of the ice caves in existence there.
Strange. it seems, too, that in this land of
great heat, where in some places ice is a
priceless luxury, made so by excessive
freight rates which prevail in the Terri
tories, mans ingenuity has not heretofore
conceived the idea of the wholesale appro-
priation of the relief which nature has pro-
vided.
Not until very recently has any attempt
been made to take away the apparently in
eXhaustfble quantities of ice which have
been found in the caves near Flagstaff.
Now, however, 1t is intended to literally
mine or quarry the ice. and the promoters
of the scheme declare it will prove a great
profit producer from the very outset, as
they expect 10 secure ice enough not only
to supply the scores of smaller stations,
towns and lumber camps in that vicinity,
but to provide supply for the railroads Of
northern Arizona and New Mexico, even
into California, as in the vast region OF
what was once the northern part of the
Great American desert ice factories have
not as yet become common. Indeed, the
factories at Los Angeles, Phoenix, Albu-
querque and Las Vegas have for years sup

has been changed since. The people of the
country think the cave was originally what
is termed a "blow-Out"-that is, volcano
vent made by water or gas, during some
CONFUSION of nature, in the early history
of our planet. There are many of these
"blow-Outs' OF various sizes and extents
scattered over Arizona.
Until last August the main cave had only
been penetrated to a depth of 200 feet, and
even that distance could only be reached
by the possessOrs of small bodies. At that

through the narrow crevice at the 200 foot
