MINING NOTES.

- CSA"N OK lAuoO OOulpduy
has filed papers of incorporation
for the Midland Coal Company.
The capital of the new concern
is $4,000. The incorporators
are VIM. l.. Gordon and Maurice
X. Gordon, both of jacksonville,
KY, and Gustava B. Hengen, of
Chicago, Ill. The Messrs. Cor
don, it is understood, have al
ready made plans for the i'm
mediate development on a large
scale of the company's property
in Hopkins county, Kentucky,
and contracts will soon be signed
for the early sale of hundreds of
tons of coal to Western and
Eastern railroads.
The West Kentucky Coal Co.,
have a crew of men at work sur
veying bed for their new rail-
road from Wheatcroft which will
connect with a six mile railroad
running from Sturgis to the
Ohio river. When this new
line is completed the West Ken
lucky Coal Co.. will have con-
nection with the l.. & N. r. r.,
by way of the Kentucky Val
ley Railroad for the output from
their mines.

George E. Roberts, director of
the mint, has prepared state
ment of the worlds production
of gold and, silver for the calan-
der year, 1904. This statement
shows total gold valued at $347,
$50, 200, an aggregate of 1885,
439, 53S fine ounces of silver and
a commercial value of silver to-
tahng $97, 1925, 800, the coinage
value of which is $217 $50, 200.
A company of Pennsylvania
capitalists have begun operations
at Hanson. They have secured
options on a large tract of land
at that place and intend, so it is
reported, to develop the same on
a large scale. Coal has been
found there at a depth of go and
80 feet several times previously
but not in paying quantities. 1t
is understood that the new COM
pany will make an effort to find
coal in paving quantities by 60
ing to a deeper depth.
The st. Bernard Mining Com
pany is erecting a large ware
house near No. 8 coal tipple for
the purpose of storing supplies,
mining machinery, etc. Jno. r.
Evans will have charge of this
department and will issue sup
plies.
All the coal that has been
waiting at Pittsburg, Pa. for a
rise in the Ohio river left that
place Sunday for Southern ports.
The shipment amounted to p
100000 bushels and got away
without mlshap.
Articles of incorporation were
filed at Frankfort Monday by the
Monitor Mineral Co., of Mercer
county. The new company has
$125,000 capital stock, and Col.
/. z. Chinn is named as the chief
incorporation. The company will
develop mineral lands in that
section of that State.
The mineral rights to 1850
acres of land in Muhlenberg
county were purchased by l.
Bailey, of jacksonville, last
week. The town of Bremen
is located about the center of the
deal consummated and will be on
the route of the proposed Glow
export railroad when the new
line is built from Madisonville to
Cloverport. Tests made on the
land have shown that the same
veins exist on the property as
as there are in Hopkins county
and it is considered to be valu-

been made when the property
will be developed. The consid-

Taking Life Seriously.

Taking life too seriously Is said to
be an especially American falling. This
may be true, but, judging from appear

proportion of serious, not to say anxi.
Gus, faces ten to one as compared with
the merry or happy ones. II "the
outer is always the form and shadow
OF the inner" and II "the present is
the fullness of the past. and the her
aid of the future" land how can we
doubt itD, how many sad histories can
be read in the faces of those we meet
every day. The pity Of 1t Is, too, that
the sadness is a self-woven garment,
even as is the joy with which it might
be replaced Ruskin says, Girls
should be sunbeams, not only to mem
bers of their own circle. but to every.
body with whom they come in contact,
Every room they enter should be

The Cost Of census-Taking.

The differences between the cost Of
securing the returns from the six sim
pie questions asked in 1890 and that
of the extended inquiry made century
later, is illustrated by the per capita
cost, which in 1890 was 1.13 cents. and
in 1900 15.5 cents. In 1890 Virginia
was the most populous State in the
Union. having I4I,Gl0 inhabitants. The
records of the Treasury Department
show that at the first census the cost OF
making the enumeration in that State
was 81, 7,'j53 90. Moreover. at that emu.
meration the underpaid assistant mar
shals supplied their own blanks an
item which was of considerable import.
ance in the days when all paper was
made laboriously by hand. In 1900 the
population of Maine-about 100000

ginia in 1890.
At the twelfth ceusus the cost Of
actual enumeration in Maine, includ-
ing the pay of supervisors, was S34,-
560.9O, or more than three-fourths Of
the amount expended for the enumera-

NEW WATCH ON CHINAMEN.
Uncle Sam Has Inspectors on Trains
at Interior Points,

The Federal Government employs
in New York State at least FIVE men
whose duties are to board trains al
important junction points and
search them for Chinese who may
be illegally in this country. One OF
these men is located in Binghamton,
another in this city, one in Roch.

racuse. The work under the direc.
tion of the new Department of Com,
merce and Labor.
While no great secrecy has been
maintained in their work, there has
been no careless advertising of 1t,
and, as result, very few travellers
are aware of the mission of the men
who enter trains and carefully in
spect the appearance OF all foreign
ers who look as though they may
have come from China.
Seeing Chinaman on board q
train these men first inquire for his
papers. If the suspect does not have
them the inspector may remove him
from the train and place him in the
nearest Jail subject to the disposi-
tion of the case before United
States Commissioner.
If the man convinces the inspec-
tor that he has a right to be in this
country, that is the end of it. Now
adays the Chinese have been so
closely watched that IL one pos
sesses the required papers he sell
dom lets them get out of his sight.
The train inspectors have been
stationed at important junction
points with the idea that If any Chi
nese are smuggled across from
Canada and escape the officers at
the border, they may be detained
while trying to reach New York
city. The inspectors say that the
business OF smuggling Cinnamon in
to our territory Is increasing every
year Once by the officers at the
border. the immigrants take it easy
and imagine that successful entry
has been made. But disappoint-
ment Is in store for many of them in
the person of the innocent looking
man who enters the railroad train
and asks to see their papers, N.

have Supreme Regent Howard G.
Virgins and a few Of his conterees
ousted. Plans to accomplish this
have almost been completed, and
unless the supreme regent recedes
from his position of refusing to re-
consider the Objectionable rules,
drastic measures will be taken. it

TESTING CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES
Absolutely Flawless to Withstand
Enormous Pressure.

The testing of these bottles Is at
tended to by an expert who, by stri-
king two bottles lightly together
with the sides, recognizes by the
sound whether they are perfect or
not. The bottles are purchased in
summer and are carefully cleansed
with alcohol, closed with a tempo
rary stopper and put away until
used in March. The shoppers are Sc
lected from the best stock and cost
from SIG to $40 a thousand
When the bottles are filled they
are placed in cool cellars, stacked in
piles one on the other from fifteen
to twenty feet in length, and three
and one-half to five feet in height,
without any shelving. Such a wall
of bottles is as strong as iron. Still
any one of them may be pulled out
without interfering with the rest,
which is frequently done to observe
the development of fermentation
The hot season is dangerous to
champagne on account of the burst
ing of the bottles. If the loss does
not exceed per cent. all is well
II it rises to Is per cent. the place
must be made cooler, and If it
should reach 20 per nt.nothing re-

The Cosmopolitan.

The most interesting event i'll the
magazine world for the coming
month is the appearance of the CoS-
m0pOhtan under the new auspices
and in new garb. The famous old
magazine, which was one of the
pioneers of ten-cent periodicals, has
taken on a new lease Of life. The
August number is interesting from
cover to cover. Richard lie Gal
lienne has charming essay on "The
Poetry of Woman's Smile" illus
trated with photographs of New
York society women taken in their
merriest mood. Alfred Henry
Lewis begins serial life OF Paul
Jones which promises to be the most
important piece OF biography Of the
present year. Probably the best
and most thrilling mountaineering
ing pictures ever taken accompany
an article by George d. Abraham
entitled Most Daring of All Mouu-
tain-Climbers." Garrett p. Serviss
tells of the work of the Carnegie
institution new solar observatory
on Mount Wilson, California. Ada
Patterson describes the adoption of
children in New York City. AM
brose Bier:e works his satiric vein
to great advantage in timely essay,

America"-a sup osedly historical
document of the year A. d. 36S7.
Herbert d. Ward contributes an

attention throughout the country.
1t describes III vivid manner the
peonage system which is working
such injustice in the South. The
fiction in this mid summer issue is
by Francis Lynde, Tom Mason,
Max Nordau, Anna Wharton Nor
ris, Herbert Quick and Ambrose
Bierce. Other contributors are El-
bert Hubbard, Edwin Markham,
Cyrus Townsend Brady, John B.

is beautifully and abundantly illus
trated. In fact the new C0SmOb0htan
bids fair to step at once into the
front ranks of the magazines.

MIR. Edison's Watch.

To Mr., Edison time is so valuable
that he does not waste it even by
taking account of 1t. Time to him
is only the chance to get things
done; and no matter how long 1t
takes, they must be got done. In
his Office safe there is carefully
locked away a $4,000 Swiss watch,
given him by a European scientific
society. 1t is never used. He buys
a stem winder costing a dollar and a
half, breaks the chain ring off,
squirts oil under the cap of the stem,
thrusts 1t into his trousers pocket
and never looks at it. When it
gets too clogged with dirt to run, he
lays it on a laboratory table, hits j:
with hammer and buys another

English Civil Service.

Once civil servant, always a
civil servant" appears to be the
motto of the English Civil Service,
for unless one proves dishonest or
an extraordinary poor workman he
is retained in service until the age
limit is reached, and the salary list
is exchanged for the pension roll.
Unlike the civil service in the
United States, there is no strong
partisanship; appointees hold their
positions, no matter which party
may be in power.
The pay Is not large, even in view
of the small cost of living in Eng
land. Fifteen dollars is about the
limit of weekly payment in the Post
Office Department, though some of
the executive positions pay as high
as $4,000 year. The Excise De-
partment is a favored branch, the
pay starting at $3.50 year. This
is raised by yearly increase of
$25 until the pay reaches $400, and
after a year. is jumped to $575.
From there on the pay jumps rapid
ly to s1,250 yearly, and if the Off
Ger is fortunate in at last arriving at
the dignity of collector he draws
81 900 yearly.
Parliamentary clerkships run
from $500 to $4,000 year, and the
Navy Department will run "a clerk
up to $4,000 If he reaches the i'm
portance of fleet paymaster.
In spite of the small salaries the
places are eagerly sought, since it
means a life position, with a pen
sion for ones declining years.
