KENTUCKY COAL
And Its PrOductiOn-The ES
timated Output Here for
the Year 1904.

In commenting upon the report on
the Western Kentucky mining district
just published by the United States
geological survey, the Manufacturers
Record says;
The ore deposits thus far developed
are somewhat unevenly distributed
through Crittenden, Livingston and
Caldwell counties. At the present time,
as in the past history of mining in this
region, the mines of Crittenden county
include not only the largest number Of
producers in tine district, but the largest
number of productive veins as well.
The successful development of the
district is priiarily dependent on the
flourite, as in the majority of the veins
the lead and zinc ores can be considered
only as by products. and in many cases
perhaps as mere impurities in the -four
lite. Most of the Impurities are as yet
in the oxidized zone and much Of the
ore from this belt must be cleaned be-
fore shipping. With depth, however,
the veins will become better defined
and the ores cleaner. Further develop
meut along the veins now mined will
undoubtedly be advantageous. Better
transportation and shipping facilities
will increase the output Of the district.
The. Manufacturers Record says that
Prof. c. J. Norwood, of the State Col.
lege, director of the Kentucky geoiogi.
cal survey and State inspector of mines,
estimates that the coal output of the
State shows decrease for the year 1904
Of about 80, 900 tons from that Of the
previous year. While the report for
1905 is not ready for publication, it is
estimated that the total production is
about 7,l0S, 800 tons In explanation
Of this decrease the inspector is report
ed as saying:
The decrease is caused mainly by
strikes. The output in the south west
ern part Of the State was greater than
the year before, but the closing of the
mines in the north eastern section, on
account of the miners going ont, brought
down the average. The decrease may
be accounted for by the fact that in
1903 the Kentucky fields were benefited
by the strikes in the anthracite fields Of
Pennsylvania"
The State survey will shortly issue
statements Of the oil and gas in Ken
lucky, and the clay deposits, the former
being prepared by j. b. Hoeing and the
latter by Joseph II. Gardner.

ly surprised few days ago when she
received this letter:
Enclosed please find 50 which i will
send You in payment of sevety-five cents
which have been owing your husband,
Mr.. Noyd, deceased, for fixing a pair of
shoes"
The letter was mailed on train in
Illinois, otherwise there is no clue to
where it came from. Mr.. Noyd has
been dead some forty years, and it is
thought that it is fully forty.five years
ago since his pair of shoes was fixed.
The letter contained 50 bill and one
81 bill. Mrs. Lundberg has no idea
from whom this money came.

Good ROADS
Movement Is Growing Good
Suggestions on This I'M
pOrtant Subject.

1t is hard to understand how any
studious man can persuade himself that
Government aid to good roads is not a
national necessity, affecting all sections
Of the country and all classes, and
therefore demanded as good public
policy. Many Of the very foremost
men of the country have declared in Its
favor, and the feeling is constantly
growing that it should prevail. OF
course, here and there we find it op'
posed by spurious argument and strain
ed interpretations Of the Constitution,
but this opposition cannot stand in the
face Of the practice of the Government
in road building many years ago, and
at this day in Porto Rico, where We
have constructed more highways in the
past FIVE years than did the Spaniardi
in four hundred years, and in the Philip
pines, where we are building highways
every day in the year. There is more
serious consideration being given to the
subject of good roads to-day than any
other that can be named, and as a ques
ton fraught with vital concern to the
internal commerce of the country and
to its religious, educational and social
advancement, il is sure thing that the
call for national aid will have TO be
heard.
1t il not the farmer alone who is
affected by bad roads. Trade conditions
are disastrously affected wherever bad
roads exist Good roads are necessary
70 every vocation and every interest
The cost of bad roads has been 40 often
presented that repetition would moi
strengthen argument. The main fact
is the clear fact that bad roads are a
curse 70 the nation and a disgrace tc
our boosted Americanism. There il
necessity for Government aid to better
roads and it ought to be extended with
the least possible delay. In every civil
lied country but ours the Government
has fostered improved highways,
Wherever improved highways have
been built the people are happier and
the country more prosperous. In the
United States there has been marvellous
progress Notwithstanding bad roads.
We would have prospered thousand
fold more under an improved system OF
highways A change is needed here.
The common roads should be made ad-
equate to the necessities Of the country.
There is no special class in discussion.
1t is great economic question, rapping
loudly for recognition, and as all the
people are involved, the Government
should step in and cooperate with the
States in its solution.
The good-roads camp-fires ought to
be lighted in every constituency in the
States The proposition is strong in
the Congress- Let its friends get to
work and make it stronger by direct
communication with those we send to
reflect the public will in Washington.
II the people who have made the
Government what it is and upon whom
it must rely in every crisis cannot be
heard in the national councils. then
the Caesars of the day have grown too
great on public meat, and we soon shall
have fallen upon still more evil times.
