for new jail and to pay for the jail and workshop to be connected with 1t where the prisoners could be self-sustaining to some extent.
 The site extends to the alley half way between Third and Fourth avenues, and half way between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, a fourth of block This is in a portion of the city where real estate values have rapidly in- creased in the past two or three years, and the property would doubtless bring a good figure.
 It is also claimed that the building is inadequate for the needs of the county, and that a larger, safer, more sanitary jail is needed-one of equal in all re- spects to the best county jail in the south. On large piece of property, which might be secured in the outskirts of the city. it is pointed out there might be found employment for a large number of the convicts and prisoners who are now Idle.
 Dr. Stagg said yesterday that the move ment was one affecting not only the peo- pie living in the neighborhood, but one affecting the entire city and that, there fore every citizen should be interested in the movement to have 1t moved. He found necessary to remove the jail from the central portions of town and put 1t in the outskirts or at least in some portion of the city where 1t would not be an eyesore.

ID BE LIGHTED SATURDAY Acting Mayor Cooper to Throw
 the Switch BEAUTIFY THIRD AVENUE Fourteen Arches Containing 1000 Elec- tric Lights Have Been Erected.
 Will Be Lighted Every
 Night.

The Electric Esplanade will be formally opened Saturday night, and Acting Mayor B. H. Cooper will manipulate the switch.
 The esplanade is that portion of Third avenue between Nineteenth and Twen- tieth streets, and 1t is to be lighted by fourteen arches with over 1000 incandes- cent electric lights.
 The merchants and property owners on Third avenue, who have named them selves the Third Avenue Hustlers," orig mated the idea, and are putting 1t Into execution. and they will pay all tho ex- penses, which will amount to about s5000 annually. The contract signed by all the merchants and property owners on the street, and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, Is for one year.
 This illuminated esplanade is the only one of the kind in the country so far as Is known. and 1t will be a feature of Birmingham. The lights will be turned on at dark every night, and will be on until Il o'clock, with the exception of Saturday night. when they will remain on until midnight.
 There are nine arches running across the street between Nineteenth and Twen- tieth streets, and at each corner there are two arches running diagonally across the street. These thirteen arches are paid for by the merchants. The four teenth arch is on Third avenue just west of Nineteenth street, and is maintained by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The programme for Saturday night in- cludes a salute from the roof of J. Blach & Sons, at which time the lights will be turned on A brass band will give a concert from o'clock until Il o'clock that night, and the same band will make a circuit of the city Saturday in spe- cial street car, playing practically all day. The street car will be suitably deco rated and will have streamers on the side inviting the public to be present when the lights are turned on.
 The object of the esplanade is to adver- tise and enhance interest in Third ave- nue.

OPERATORS OBJECT ID THE CONDITIONS May Not Sign Agreement with United Mine Workers NEE TING HELD YESTERDAY Operators Have Different Views as to the Semi-Monthly Pay Day and
 the Number of Holidays
 Now Taken.
NEE TING HELD YESTERDAY

The Commercial Operators association has, it is said serious objections to some of the mining conditions wage scale, and unless these terms are altered by the United Mine Workers it is thought to be doubtful if the agreement will be signed
 The objections are not to the scale of wages to be paid, which Is the same as that of last year, but to number of other matters which they claim hamper them seriously in getting the full capacity from their mines.
 A meeting of the operators was held yesterday and the matter was discussed at some length, but no action was taken The association will meet again on July 3, att which time it Us expected decision will be reached and a counter proposition made to the miners
 Pay Day Question. One of the objections is to the semi monthly pay day. The operators claim that it necessitates their closing down for two or thre days after each pay day, or running with only limited number of men. Frequently that number is not sufficient to pay the fixed expenses of the mines it is claimed, and the oper- ators claim they lose.
 Another objection Is to the number of holidays which are taken by the miners The operators claim that frequent holi- days curtail production and cause finan- cial loss.
 It Is said that at the meeting of the operators yesterday morning there were number who were opposed to signing the present scale and who insisted on a new agreement. Others favor the pres ent agreement, and a heated discussion took place.
 Present Agreement.
 Some of the mines will probably be closed on July 1, as the present agree ment expires on that date, and the next conference of the operators will not be held until July 3.
 Three of the companies working union labr last year have signed the scale, and it is stated that others will sign by Mon day. but on the other hand there is a strong faction which is opposed to signing until many changes are made.

.OF NJ IMPORTANCE
 SAYS ], |. MABEN Referring to Alleged Intention
 of MT. Gates CANNOT CRIPPLE SLOSS 
The Commercials Story Is to the Ef- feet That Mir. Gates Would Make Soss Be Good" In Ills Fight
 Against Steel Trust.

The frequent reports in New York that John W. Gates is conducting strenuous campaign against the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company, with the avowed pur- pose of bringing that corporation into a. compact union with properties in which he is interested. as opposed to the United States Steel trust. are of little moment and of no significance, according to Pres ident J. c. Maben of the sloss- Sheffield company.
 In reference to the Pittsburg special which appeared in the New York Com- mercial, MT. Maben last night declared to a reporter of The Age-Herald that the alleged efforts of MT. Gates to whip the Sloss company Into line was neither caus- ing him nor the directors of his company a particle of uneasiness.

SIoss' Financial Strength.

SlOSS' FInancial strength.
 'Why should these reports have any importance attached to them?" declared MT. Maben. "The Sloss company Is richer than the Gates interests, and could buy them, two to one. If Mir. Gates wants the Sloss-Sheffield company, there Is but one way by means of which he can see that desire realized. He can buy the company. When this is accomplished, he will have paid the price demanded by the directors of our company, and the price will be at the figures designated by It's present own CTS I do not consider the various rumors and reports that 'dove-tair so nicely of any importance"
 MT. Maben then intimated that the pub lications were coming from the Gates party, and were issued for the purpose of bulging the stock of that interest.
 The latest report coming from New York and published in the New York Com mercial is to the effect that MT Gates caused the recent slump in the iron mar ket for the purpose of directly injurying the sloss company and cripplng that cor poration to such an extent that 1t would deem it necessary to either sell to MT. Gates or ally itself with his interests Ac- cording to this report, Mir. Gates is es- pecially desirous of annexing the Sloss company for then that corporation &C., quired he will control practically the en- tire southern iron field. and will be able to present a most formidable front to the United States Steel corporation, against which he is alleged to be strenu- ously opposed. According to this report, the Jones & Laughlin company, the larg- est independent corporation in existence, is aligned with the Gates interest against the United States Steel trust. The report ed object of MT. Gates. since the alliance with the Jones & Laughlin company, Is to "gather ia" the Sloss company. If he is successful in his attempts, says the Com mercial, he will head and control the en- tire southern situation, and aided by the large independent corporation, can strenu- ously oppose his old enemy. the United States Steel corporation.
 No Fears.
 As stated however, MT. Maben does not entertain fears that MT. Gates will be successful in his alleged efforts to force the Sloss company into combination of any nature.
 According to the story published in the New York Commercial. the alleged price, slashing tactics of President Topping have caused undue worry to the United States Steel corporation, and 1t is stated that on account of this characteristic, the corporation dismissed him from the head of one of its subsidiary concerns" It is alleged, too, in this article, that on ac- count of this very principle. MT. Topping was taken in tow by MT. Gates. It is fur tlher stated in the New York Commercial that MT. Topping immediately inaugu- rated the rate-cutting in the south, and that he will continue so to do until the Sloss company "comes into line and agrees to be good"

MEVADA's GOVERNOR.

In the denomination OF John Sparks
for governor the Democrats Of Nevada
have honored themselves quite as much
as they have honored the stalwart chief
executive of their state. Those who
watched his administration of state
affairs know he will always give every
man exact justice; that the laboring
man and the capitalist alike will be
equal before the law as he may be
called on to administer it. and that the
commonwealth will continue in it's re-
markable development under his guild
ance. 1t goes almost without saying
that Governor Sparks will be re-elect-
people wisely and successfully, he has
given the state standing and dignity
abroad and he has seen the one-time
deserts of his dominion give promise
Of a wealth beside which all other bo-
nanza developments fade into insignifi-
canoe. Characteristically enough, the
governor declared himself on the day
Of his nomination against prize fights
and bull fights I'm Nevada, which means
that both will cease in due time. In
this he is right; the prize fight busi-
ness is good for a limited amount of
advertising, as Goldfield is demonstrate
ing, but as a steady business it does
more harm than good. as San Francisco
has proved and as the people of Ne
vada realize.
The great object of Nevada now is to
develop the properties she has discov-
cred and to invite capitals assistance
In this development. Any movement
which gives assurance of stability and
law and order is calculated to attain
this end. and the governor perceives It
clearly enough 10 make It part of his
executive program. The Herald con-
graduates Nevada on the prospect of
having John Sparks as governor for
another term; and it congratulates him
on the fact that the Office seeks him.
not he the Office.
