A suggestion has been made for
a grand mining banquet some time
along towards Thanksgiving day.
1t would seem especially appro.
pirate at the close Of this two year
old mining district to have a csle-
bratioa of some kind and bring to-
gether the gentlemen who are in
teresteI in various ways through
out our Western Kentucky Min
ing section. Msssrs Pierce &
Baird Of the New Marion hotel,
would no doubt put up something
in the way Of menu that would
make everybody wish they were
miners. Fully two hundred COW
ers would be necessary to include
the representatives OF this great
industry.

The price paid for lead ore will
soor he Of interest TO the miners
of this district. The computation
is made FROM the selling price Of
pig lead la New York. AT pres
ent it is $40 per thousand pounds,
lead alone being the exception, 80
far as the price is based in tons.
A discount 10 made from this $40
Of 10 per cent, for loss in smslt-
ing; the smelling charge OF about
IS 10 also subtractsd and the
freight from the mine to the smell
ter is deducted,
At the date Of this issue the
Pitcher Lead Co. of Joplin, Mo,
will pay for an 80 par cent. lead

$40 per ton, delivered al Joplin.

Major Clement, OF Crit'enden
county, the gentleman who has q
specific for clearing out choked up
drains and creeks Of rocks and logs
happened to own a ANAL section
Of land-a good big building lot
in area, situated on the Columbia
vein near Crittendsn Springs. he
cleared the refuse coil from the
surface, unoovsring a magnificent
body Of sulphide Of zinc, matted
with galens. The Marion Baok's
mineral cabinet has a fine speci-
men of the Clement ore. The 300
feet of land on the vein that the
Major owns would in any other
country be accounted enough for
big working company, as the ore
ia of splendid character and the

For the benefit of mine owners
aud those interested in this dis
triot the following announcement
is made. The PRESS is published
weekly at enc dollar year in adj
vance. The edition published is
limited to the gu description list and
only subscribers are served. This
is made on account OF
numerous kilograms and letters
received at this office for copies OF
back dates containing some special
article. We can not supply back
dates. We shall always be pleas
ell to have you on our list aud you
will secure the paper promptly
provided you are subscriber
The only exception Is that of the
illustrated Mining i,sue, of which
We still have a few copies ut ten

There has been some considera.
BILE prospecting for ores of man
gansse in this section, 30 far with
out success. Probably two-thirds
Of the states in the Union have
more or less of this ore. Vermont
ores are low grade, in fact nearly
all Of the Northern states ores Of
manganese will grade low, too low
for the production of ferro manga
nese except where iron is also a
large portion of the ores makeup.
Virginia mas produced large ton
mage of first class manganese as
has Arkansas and Colorado. The
fatal drawback to ores of this char
aoier lies in the phosphorus which
they carry. Anything above one
tenth Of one per cent. or ten lbs.
of phosphorus to the ton of ore is
a decided drawback. One half Of
one per cent. or 10 lbs to the ton
10 practically fatal bar to it's use.
Phosphorus makes steel brittle, or
as termed, "short."
At the present time Cuba is fur
nishing the steel works of Ameri-
ca with manganese OF a superior
character, the price having been
reduced to some 90 cents per unit
based on 80 per cent. ore with
low phosphorus, making its value
$ll per ton.

The Marion Mineral company's
opening on the Flanary dixie, near
the Holly mine, bids fair to be
one Of the great producing prop
critics Of the district. The carbo-
nate Of zinc raised up to the pres
emit time will. from its looks, aver.
age a higher percentage of zinc
than from any other section of the
district. The ore is nearly all of
that high grade capitalization
that assays show run up in the vi
oinity of AZ to 90 per cent. Min
ing men will find a shaft that is a
model in both sinking and timber
ing, while the drift timbers are in
their way perfect. Mr. Jno. Clark,
the Superintendent of the compa-
ny at this property, has set a high
standard for others to follow, both
in the neatness which characteri-
zes the workingsIabove and below
and in the care for the safety and
comfort of the men employed.

The strike Of the workmen on
the Lucille Mining companys
working on the new shaft at the
Bigham mine was not OF long du-
ration. The men after careful con.
sideration decided that they were
receiving the full wages paid else
where in the district for the same
class of work, and after one day OF
idleness returned to work. As
water is reached it is probable that
Manager Finley may make the
usual advance for such mining.

Subscriptions will be received
at the Press Office to purchase n
car of Kentucky coal to be ship
ped to the mining man OF the
Press at Chicago. Most of the
coal left in that CITY has been
made up in diamond ornaments
and placed in safety vaults. The
only method left Of keeping warm
in Chicago is to breathe on your
hands; but that leaves your feet
cold. In order to avoid domestic
troubles Kentucky offers the only |
solution; bring on your coal. !

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The cleaner the culture the better
the crop.
Careful transplanting insures supe-
rior growth.
An occasional supply of weak ma
nure water is often beneficial to house
plants.
Rosin and tallow in equal parts make
an excellent covering for wounds on
fruit and other trees.
When fruit is to be sent to market, 1t
will be best to make all arrangements
possible in advance.
Keep all dead and faulty limbs cut
off the fruit and ornamental trees If
for nothing else but the looks.
The man who sends poor fruit to
market is always the one who com
plains of the price. The market Is rare
ly If ever overstocked with choice
fruits.
By gathering up and burning all the
rubbish in the orchard the garden and
the small fruit patch large number of
injurious insects may be destroyed.
In pruning never cut out small twigs
or spurs growing on larger limbs.
These are the spurs for fruit, and often
the first crop of fruit is destroyed by
cutting away these fruit spurs.

Welsh Miners Win.

While the decision Of an English court
can have no bearing on conditions and
questions In our land, yet 1t is worthy
OF note, as revealing the drift OF judicial
opinion, that it has been decided to be
within the law OF Great Britain for coal
miners to order the stoppage OF work
wheneyer they please to do so.
1t seems that over in Wales the union
m ners have made a practice Of carry
ing out the plan recently proposed for
the anthracite region of ordering sus-
pension of work at the mines, for the
purpose of curtailing the operators from
laying in large stocks of coal. The
idea is to protect the miners from being
handicapped, In the case of strike,
by large stocks OF coal on hand.
1t has been a practice In the past for
Welsh miners and operators to agree on
"stop" days, but the miners recently
look the matter into their own hands,
and ordered supenson OF work with
out consulting the employers.
The operators association took offense
at the action and brought suit against
the Miners Federation for $500, 900
damages. Justice Bingham has just
decided the case In favor OF the de-
PENDANTS, on the ground that there was
no malice in the action of the men, who
declared in court that they believed a
reduction Of the output would be of
benefit to both parties,
The Justices decision places enormous
power in the hands OF the union and
the miners are, consequently, in good
spirits. 1t would be well for American
miners to keep a close watch on the
practical effect OF the plans operation
on the welfare of the Welsh miners, to
the end that they may learn whether
or not it would be wise for them to
attempt to regulate the production OF
coal, as has been suggested. The ex-
perences of others along the same line
ought to be valuable.

THE FASHIONS.

Dressing children in pure white is
more fashionable this year than it has
been for some seasons past.
Not n few of the newest evening
waists have soft transparent folds GO
ing around the figure with horizontal
lines of lace insertion showing be-
tween.
Crepe de chine and liberty satins and
silks are much used this season in
place OF the more perishable chitfons
and tulles for many of the tucked
blouse vests and undersleeves.
Old rose is color that is very often
forgotten in selecting gowns for either
day or evening wear, but it often
proves more becoming to women, Ell
ther fair or dark, than either pure
pink, cherry red, blue, gray or green.
Long half fitting cloaks of black, un-
lined taffeta, silk or peau de sole,
faultless in outline and effect, are
worn over gowns of white liberty satin
foulard, white pique, yelling, mohair,
etamine, etc. The greater portion of
these garments are open down the
front

UNLOCKED FOOD.
Human Sickness Said to BE Largely
Due to the Kitchen.

human sickness said to lie Largely
Due to the Kitchen.
The advocates of uncooked food say
that, however well the cooking is done,
1t ought not to be done ut all. They
claim that the minute cells which go to
make up the organization of the tex
ture to be eaten should not be broken
up by culinary processes, that they
should go into the stomach as nature
intended them-raw and ready for di-
gestion.
They notice that animals, which sell
dom eat cooked food, are hundred
times less likely to be sick than men
and women, that an invalid brute Is
rarity, while more or less ailing human
beings are in every neighborhood.
One physician who has adopted this
method of eating altogether and Is ad-
vlsng and teaching others to do so
claims to have learned lesson from
his horses. while l was growing more
and more sickly," he AYERS, "and run
ming down rapidly my horses were
sleek, fat and as healthy as ever. 1 ut
last made up my mind to eat the same
kind of things that they did and have
since been as healthy as they"
There can be no doubt that n great
deal of disease is caused by eating
the wrong thing and often too much
even of the right thing. The products
of natures laboratory are probably as
nearly right as she can make them,
but when civilization" gets its hand i'll
they run at least risk of being spoiled
and unfit for the human stomach, how
ever pleasant to the palate.
In the first place, they are often adul-
terated, even before they get to the
cook. In order to preserve them or to
make them more attractive in appear
ance or pleasing to the taste and ut any
rate more profitable to the money till
the dealer is tempted to doctor" them
with various products of the drug
store and by other means of which the
consumer has no idea.
The advocates of this plan of eating
claim that undue stimulus does not
lurk in liquids alone and that cooking
often makes food so stimulating to the
human system as to produce bad
state of the nerves. They abjure the
free use of salt, pepper and other sub
stances used as "relishes," claiming
that the same are little better than poi
son. They designate all sorts of men
tai and physical ailments as having
been produced by cooked food.-"Un-
cooked Food Movement in VIII Carl
toms Magazine.

The highest figure ever paid to a
singer at Covent Garden was the sum
of $4,000 paid to Nine. Adelina Patti
in 1870 for sixteen appearances or $3,-
600 for each appearance. Nine. Patti
has, however, beaten this record in her
American tours when she has OBJ
tained as he did at New Orleans in
the eighties, as much as $4,000 a night.
NJ. Jean de Reszke holds the record
for male singers, his contract for six
teen appearances being $4,000, while
the famous Polish tenor never fails
to stipulate for free hotel expenses
and certain sum for carriage and
horses.
The famous Lasalle has also drawn
his $1,000 a performance, and during
the golden jubilee of 1887 he ap-
peared with the two De Reszkes mt one

now nearly all in. This was the second
primary election held under the new
rules and the vote polled was fully five
times greater than that OF last year.
The heavy vote polled was brought
about by the fact that there were sixty
five candidates in the field.

mated for congress, defeating ex-Con-
gresham James b. Reilly, OF Pottsvile,
and Thomas j. Higgins, of Shenandoah.

cured the state senatorial nomination in
the Thirtieth district. Democratic
leaders worked hard to defeat Senator
Higgins on account of his record at the
last legislature.
James j. Moran, OF Pottsville, is
nominated for district attorney. al
though he was opposed by nearly the
whole organization. Moran is attorney
for tho United Mine Workers and had
the support of the labor union.
j. FL. Nichter, OF Pottsville, who was
also backed by the striking miners, is
nominated by an overwhelming majority
for recorder. George Opie, of Donald
