CAVE FULL OF SKELETONS.
0revsome Discovery by Explorers In
Cavern in the Mountains Of
West Virginia..

Prominent among the many land
marks in West Virginia is what is
known far and near as the Bandits
cave, situated in desolate spot in
the mountains of Randolph county.
This was once the abode OF the iercest
sband of outlaws that ever infested tho
southern states.
The history of the place is we'll
known to the inhabitants of the neigh
borhood, but it was not fully explored
until recently, when several men who
had no faith in the wild stories cir
culated went into it,
Surrounding the cave, which begins
with a hole probably 20 feet in diam
aeter. were discovered many traces Of
aife. Several rusty knives and flint
dock carbines were found strewn about
the entrance, besides long metal pipes.
chains, copper vessels of various shapes
and other implements suggestive of
the wild life of those who once inhab-
dted the cave.
On entering, which they did by
means of cable ladder, the explorers
touno themselves In long hall which
led to different compartments.
It was decided to send two men of
the party to follow each passage and
make what discoveries they could:
and 1t was agreed to meet at the en-
trance after exploration: They rea-
soned that the cave extended for sew
seral hundred feet in every direction.
Then came startling discoveries.
Skeletons of human beings were found,
some in the position they occupied
when death claimed their souls. On
some of the withered frames hung bits
OF clothing not yet rotted from them
>or torn away by the wild beasts, evil
dence of which was discovered by their
bleaching skeletons, piled one upon an
other.

taken care of in such manner as not to
interfere with the oil well, is highly

Five million dollars a day are realized
from the sale Of farm products, man

The exports of domestic products Of
the Uni.sd States in the month of
OctoberI 1908. averaged more than five
milliy4/ ollars for every day in the
-<ansls<hd for every business day in
the month averaged practically aix
million dollars day. The total ex-
ports of the months amounted to SIC.
097, O59, which would average more
thanlave million dollars for every day
in the month and practically SIX mil
lion dollars for each business day In
the month. From the port of New

already shown. over Ave million dol

total excess Of exports over imports

imports for the month OF October was
s7s. 4s0. O54. or 81. $50. s9s for each day

OF this enormous total of iG millions
of exports. or six million dollars a day
for each business day. the largest
single item was cotton, amounting to
90 million dollars, while the remain
ing 10 million dollars, was divided
among other farm products, manu-
features. the products of the mines,
forests. and fisheries. The high prices
of cotton during the past few months
resulted in reduction of purchases a
board in the earlier months OF the
wear. and thus shortage of stocks,
and as a consequence the first month
of the cotton year, October, showed
very large expectation of cotton anC
at unusually high prices, the average
price per pound for cotton exported

NORTH FREEDOM MINE CLOSET

N
Crystal Falls people who have been
working at the North Freedom pro-
perty of the Harvester company began
coming back here last "Wednesday
bringing the news that the mines had
suspended operations and that the
pumps were pulled. The shut down
came on very suddenly and without
explanation. A milwaukee, Sentinel
dispatch says:
1.-THE Illinois Iron Mining company
near North Freedom, shut down its
plant yesterday, throwing 400 men out
of employment. Some say the com
pany has sold out to the trust, while
others assert that the slump in iron
caused the trouble. The mine is own

which has expended $500, 600 on the
plant. The pumps and other machin

FUTURE OF STEEL CORPORATION

FUTURE OF STEEL CORPORATION
The United States Steel Corporation
is capitalized for 81, 400, 600, 900; and
yet at prices lately ruling controlling
interest in it could be purchased for
S126. 600, 600 in cash. Viewed in this
light it does not impress one as
monumental undertaking TO acquire
controlling interets in the Steel cor
poration. Standard Oil interests have
been represented as being DESTROYS OF
controlling the big steel combination.
Whether this is so or not is not known
they are credited with being pretty
much into everything but the thing
is not impossible Steel stocks have
been the butt of the market for months
When the preferred touched the low
level Of 49af it is reported that the
bond conversion syndicate bought
$50. 600 shares. The syndicate has the
exclusive right TO convert Steel pre-
fe1red into bonds. While the pre-
ferred was selling around 90 the bonds
were selling above Cor in other
words profit of SIS IN each share for
the syndicate The shares at 30 would
cost the syndicate 81, 500. 600 and the
bonds at So would bring them 80, $50, =
O0O or a profit of 81, $50, 600. But this
Is not all. The Steel corporation
guarantees a commission Of per cent
TO the syndicate for its services, which
on 1870, 900 shares Of stock would a
mount TO $500, 600 Undoubtedly the
operations of the syndicate have con-
tributed TO the downward trend OF
prices on Steel preferred, and, OF
course the common has declined in
sympathy.
But concerning the visible and act
ual assets of the Steel corporation they
can by no means be affected by the
fluctuations of the stock market. M
matter how violent these fuctuationI
may be they will neither increase mol
diminish the volume of its raw mater

poration strength. If there is prof
