Opened Second Shaft

Henry c. Evans and Ray Pow
ell of this city have opened a
second shaft into the Black Dia-
1nond coal mine recently pur-
chased by the Williston Land
Co, and started taking out coal
last week. Mr., Evans was con-
nected with the u. S. Reclama-
tion service locating coal for the
Government. He spent several
months in examining the coal in
the vicinity of Williston and says
that this coal is the best he has
seen. This new shaft will great
1y increase the output of the
mine and the demand for coal
will take all and more than can
be mined.

To Overhaul
Department
Garfield Will Stir up a Nasty
Mess When He Succeeds
Hitchcock IN the Cabinet.

ashington, Nov. 24-The
statement is made on excellent
authority that the advent OF
James r. Garfield into the Office
of secretary"of the interior will
be followed by a thorough over
hauling of business methods and
persorel in the various bureaus
of that department. Secretary
Hitchcocls made up his mind to
retire from the cabinet some time
ago, He had determined upon a
reorganization of fhis department
about the time the Keep COM
mittee undertook it's investiga-
tion there by direction of the
president.
The Keep committee, in it's re-
port bearing on the interior de-
partmert, informed the presi-
den omong other things, that
the general land Office is, and
has been for years, the worst
mismanaged bureau in the gov
ernment service; that it's system
of transacting business was
many years behind the times,
and that it should be reor-
gained from top to bottom,
both in the office in Washington
and in the field.
While the committee did noC
charge Commissioner w. A.
Richards directly tor the condi-
tion OF affairs in his bureau,
which represented the accumu-
lated growth incident to bad ad-
ministration for years, it is inti-
mated that Commissioner Rich.
ards had been derelict in that he
had made no effort to correct
the mismanagement of land af
fairs palpably apparent TO every
one who had knowledge of the
affairs of the bureau. 1t is
known, nevertheless, that Rich
ards retirement was practically
demanded and that efforts made
to save him by Senator Warren
of Wyomingrwere futile.
The interior department is
compased of the patent office,
the pension office, the land office,
the Indian Office, the bureau OF
education and the geological sur
vey. All OF these bureaus will
be thoroughly reorganized by
Garfield when he becomes secre-
ta1y of the interior in March of
next year.

MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Prince of India-Apl to l.
Klaw & changers colossal produc-
ton of Gen. Lew Wallace's "The Prince
of India" now about concluding an
engagement at the beautiful Colonial
Theatre in Chicago, comes to the Nixon
Theatre, Pittsburg, on Tuesday, April
Sd, remaining for two weeks.
THE Prince of India" written by
General Low Wallace, author of ben
Hur, and presented by Messrs Klaw q
Erlanger (the producers of that world
famous spectacle). excels its predecessor
from almost every point of view. While
adhering to the reverent atmosphere
which dominated Ben Hur", it is a
more interesting story, largely because
of the greater dramatic possibilities.
The Fifteenth century at the time OF
the brief struggle between the fanatic
Moslem tribes led by the warlike Sui
tan, Mahommed, against the Greeks of
Eastern Europe under the Byzantine
Emperor, Constantine, gives opportuni-
ty for study and warlike episodes. the
culmination being the attack upon and
the fall Of Constantinople, then the
Christian capital of Greece, a scene
vividly depicting the awful carnage OF
| that memorable battle. This remark
able scene utilizes the services of an
enormous number of people, and is be-
yond question the apex OF all animated
stage pictures.
There will be matiuees on Wednes-
days and Saturdays, during THE Prince
Of India" engagement.

Property Values.

The thirty eight feet fronting on n;
Main st. adjoining the cid Major Reed
property, was sold by the Masons last
week to Ed Graham for So, 900, or a
little over $500 foot front, which Is
pretty good for practically unimproved
property, so far north. The Masons
bought it few years ago from the Mil
Ter heirs for 50, 900.
Pittsburg is probably growing faster,
both in population and value. than any
other city IN the United States. A lit
tie lot at the corner of Smithfeld st.
and Fourth Ave, 19x40 nearly oppo-
site the postoffice. and now used for a
drug store, changed hands few years
ago at $35. 900 and again the other day
at S215 900. That hump ought to come
off so that the business district could
expand, but Frick will not agree to a
17-foot cat and some other people will
listen to no other.
