and he was so veDy fond Of her that
he never dared to tell her Of his fond

"But he used to have a dream-one
of those day-dreams that told you OF

But one day, whilst he was still
waiting for this dream to come true
still believing and hoping in it, there
came the son of very rich king, who
seeing this little girl, fell at once in
love with her. and took her away with
him to a real palace. not one that was
formed Of dreams, and the woodman's
son never saw her again.

It takes a better man to under cut than to mine from the solid. It is easier work on the Blocton seam as 1t is shot out from the solid We pay two and one half cents more than they do at Pratt.
 Undercut Work.
 At our mines we pay 5715 cents under forty-eight, and 60 cents under thirty-six inches The mining conditions are as favorable as at Pratt. We pay eleven cents more for yardage than they do at Pratt. The day labor wage Is the same. There is no reason for the difference. The conditions are the same. We were forced by shut down to pay a higher price. The men gave no other reason, except that the standard of wages in Blocton district was higher than in Pratt. Bloc ton has been forced to a higher scale without any reason that I know of think the Blocton coal is more easily mined.
 I never heard the miners give any other reason for asking higher wages We have no coke ovens or blast furnaces. We are commercial producers. There Is clause in the contract that locals cannot quit without referring grievances to dis trict officers. But men went out last February, and they left the mine idle one day Mir. Flynn told the men they had no right to do this They just quit work We try to run our mines every day but Sundays. The men stop on pay day Many of our men don't work more than fifteen to twenty days in a month-1O or 15 per cent of them. Monday and Tuesday after pay day the men are apt not to work.
 The Commssary.
 We have a commissary and we some times buy the checks that we issue. have prepared a statement showing ton mage, average production, average work ing hours, and average earnings of the miners at No. for the month of June June was an average month except that we worked twenty-four days, but we usually average no more than twenty three days. Eleven room men averaged about S130 per month doing room work.
 Ten months work of two miners show ed that Charles Young averaged $133.S5 a month, and his putty made about the same. On February 10th 135 room men and about eighteen narrow work men showed an average tonnage that day of "A tons. We have some ten ton men and some three to four ton men; that is they take out that much each. Some men will load much more than others. The list was taken from No. slope.
 BIocton District.
 In the Blocton district there are a con- siderable percentage of unskilled miners
 Any skilled miner who is thrifty and in- dustrious can make $100 per month, work ing twenty-two days and quitting at 4 p. m.
 Adjournment was taken until today at 10 a. m., MT. Herbert being still on the stand.
