plished today, when the commission rs
made complete inspection OF the two
large collieTies and tour OF the region
lying between Mount Carmel and this
city
Six working days have been consumed
IN travelling from place 10 place in the
anthacite coal regions and the arbitrator
feel that they are nov qualified 10 sit
IN Judgment on the controversy between
the mine owners and their employers.
In all, the commissioners We're lowered
into seven mines OF varying conditions
and went through several brakers. They
met the general superintendent. the
mine superintendent and foremen OF the
various collieries visited and also per
scnally talked with the grimmy coal dig
Sers In the dark gansways and cham
bers hundreds OF feet below the earth's
surface. They heard the grievances the

the capitalists side OF complaint. Besides
this the commissioners gained some

Mt Carmel at 7:2O a. m. and first visited
the Potts colliery in Columbia, seven
miles from Mt. Carmel. II IS owned by
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Coke company. The breaker OF this coll
liery is different from those seen by
thecOmmissioners at other places. They
went all over the buildings and were
much interested in the workmen en-
ployed there. among whom were many
boys. From the Potts colliery the train
proceeded through Ashland, Glrardville
and Gilberton TO the Maple Hill coliiery
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Coke company IN the Mahony valley. a
few miles from Shenandoah This is one
OF the best mines IN the entire anthracite

$50 feet below the surface. and during
their two hours stay in the workings
the commissioners went about a mile
and a half from the shaft The whistle
blew for the noon hour just as the
party came to the surface At the
breaker near by the commissioners talk
ed with the boys whose faces were
black with coal dust Judge Cray and
bishop Spalding seemed the most inter
ested in the lads. and each gave some
fthem small coin.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. A. Thou
sands of natives of Herschel island and
along the Arctic coast are dying from
measles. The news was brought by the
whaling steamer Jeanette, which has
just arrived from a whaling cruise
Captain NeWth of the Jeanette said:
AT least % per cent of the natives
along the Arctic coast have died from
measles. They are dying off like rab-
bits, and there seems to be nothing to
check the death rate The march of
civilization has increased the death
rate from Nome north. Two years ago
the devastation began, and it has con-
tinued since. When the natives began
to wear civilized mans clothing and
drink white mans whisky, then began
their decline. Diseases unheard of at
tackled them, and, not knowing how
to care for themselves, the people died
rapidly. Pneumonia, rheumatism, grip
and every conceivable malady made
their appearance among them and
spread along the coast with appalling
results"
