Atchison.s Coal MINI XNoes.

Just as the coal mine has com
'menced to sit up and take notice a new
trouble is making its appearance.
Work must be commenced on a SECOND
shaft. Where will the money come
from ? The company has not only
used up all its capital. but owes some
thing like $4,000. A second shaft is
required by the state laws. 1t is a
matter to think over. AS a rule the
stockholders are looking to William
Carlisle for solution Of the matter.
He says he doesn't know how the
money is to be raised, unless the mine
is bonded. and. that is the one thing all
the stockholders have wanted to
avoid. He wants to avoid it, too. The
coal has just commenced to meet the
pay roll, and some money should be
earned in the immediate future, but
not enough to sink the second shaft

Politically Louisville is the center of
the bowling universe right now, and
word comes from there that a deal has
been framed up whereby Charles II.
Ebbets, the Brooklyn baseball and
bowling promoter, viii get the
Quakers' votes for the presidency at
the Louisville election, in return for
his support of Philadelphia as the 1907
convention city. Ebbets is a logical
candidate, and has been mentioned at
every meeting where New YOak was
represented. Tt is believed that ne
would gather a lot of support from the
western delegates, who admired his
capable way of handling the delicate
negotiations over the east and west
split at Milwaukee.
An evidence of the interest the east
is showing in the present tournament
was shown last week when the new
Hotel Seelbachs in Louisville, was ask
ed for accommodations for seventy
five Brooklynites during tournament
week. Inquiries for reservations from
Buffalo. Cleveland, and other cities
have also poured in. aud every hotel
in that city has started to book visitors.
The seating capacity at the new
armory is expected to beat anything
ever attempted before at a bowling
meet, seats being erected on all three
sides.
