A. DOWN IN The MINES. A.

coal miners took place in our
county few days ago at small
county coal mine north of Mad
isonville. The operators of the
mine had expressed love for the
U. M. w. organization and had
practically turned the mine over
to them to be run at their dicta-
tion, and true to the rules of the
order which gives them the right
to either shut down a mine or
run it on their own conditions,
they were not long in closing
same. Plainly seeing that they
possessed the power of control,
they at once made a demand for
higher wages, which upon being
refused, they, to a man, laid
down their mining tools and
closed down the mine, and the
laugh is now on the operators,
who gave them all encourage
ment possible by recognition of
the order, but failed to comply
with the request for higher wages,
showing that there was no love
there when the pocket was
touched. But as the entire force
only consisted of six men all
told, the coal consumer feels the
effect of the shut down but lit
tie, yet the same disposition to
rule or ruin is shown wherever
the U. M. w. have control.
The daily production of coal
during the winter months is not
equal to the consumption, there
fore with the mines in Pennsyl-
vania shut down for several
months past a short supply of
coal will most likely be the re-
suit. This of course will fall
heavier upon the idle miners who
in a large measure is more to
blame than. these laborers who
have remained steady at work at
other vocations; thus it can be
seen that strikes, like a two
edged sword, cuts both ways,
cutting off both wages and the
coal supply, by their wrong ac-
tions.
Soft coal is said to be selling
at &c. per ton on the Chicago
market and anthracite coal can
not be bought at any price. Such
being the condition of affairs on
the coal market, the prospect of
unprecedented demand upon the
bituminous coal mines of Ken
lucky does at this time look very
bright indeed; but how can they
supply outside markets when
during even the late summer
months they have had more or
ders than could be filed prompt
ly, and miners complain of lack
of sufficient rest, but as they have
in the past remained true to their
employers when rush orders
came in, they can still be de-
pended upon to respond to the
call for extra work.
What a contrast the quiet,
peaceable times of this month
presents to that of last Septem-
ber, when two coaches full Of
true and tried men were sent to
Madisonville on request of the
sheriff to be used in quelling die
turbances created by members Of
the U. M. w. who at that time
seemed determined to take the
Reinecke mine by force. Now
but few of that organization can
be seen in this county and they
wanting work at any price, and
full of sorrow no doubt over the
wrong acts thus committed, but
sorrow don't help their case now
as the operators have found them
wanting in the Qualities that
constitute faithful employees.
The sad statement comes from
Madisonville that one of the
miners of that place who once
enjoyed the luxuries of life while
in the employ of the coal com.

of life. Sympathy is due any
wife and children who suffer, but
little is due the husband and
father who by idleness brought
on poverty. No man need be
idle in this county if he conducts
himself so as to command the
respect of the employer.
Word comes from our neigh
boring county-Christian-that
the Sand Lick Oil Co. who have
been boring for oil there for
months past, now feel confident
of being rewarded for their la
bors. One test shows they have
drilled through what is said to be
forty feet of oil producing rock,
and that at depth of 1,70O feet,
and from-this we'll they look for
favorable results.
Mr.. Thos. Gooch, of Hanson,
travelling salesman for Bement &
Seitz, and who is interested in
the effort to strike oil south of
Henderson, says reports from the
men in charge of the work and
also that of experts, are of an
assuring nature and that pros
poets indicate a rich oil strike in
the near future.
Secretary Bailey, of the Rein
ecke Coal Company, found time
last Saturday to spend a while
here among his friends, who re-
gard him as one of the promoters
of the present prosperity now
enjoyed by this county.
The Providence Coal Company
is now doing heavy business,
two extra trains being run ont of
there last Sunday to move the
coal and other freight, which
shows what can be done when
the u. M. w. get out of the way.
Mr.. John Haley, of the ST..
Bernard Company, is responsible
for the story that during his long
years of residence at a point so
close to the Ohio river, he never
until a week ago saw that stream
or a steamboat and was much
amused to see a street car at Ey-
ansville and that it moved with
out horse or engine.
A stable consisting of thirty
stalls has just been completed In
No. IL mine. This will save the
mules a long trip to and from
work, and the drivers the trouble
of riding them to and from, and
therefore a portion of the races
seen almost daily, will cease.
The many friends of Mr.. F. B.
Arnold, of the st. Bernard Co.,
deeply sympathize with him and
his wife and children in their
present sad bereavement, the
loss of their dear little daughter.
Secretary Geo. @. Atkinson,
accompanied by his youngest
daughter, made Henderson a
