MINING NOTES.


Eight men are dead as the result
of the fire in the Rocky Fork coal
mine near Red Lodge, Montana.
The new mining town of Ernest, Pa.
was recently the scene of a conflict
between a detail of state constabulary
and striking coal miners, in which
eight strikers were wounded, three of
them fatally.
A big strike of copper ore is report
ed at Mullan, Idaho. They encounter
ed the vein 12O feet before it was
expected.
An agreement which will end the
coal strike which has been on in the
Eleventh Mine Workers of America
district since April 8, has been reach
ed by the scale committee of the
Indiana miners and operators.
The settlement of the southwestern
coal strike agreed upon by a sub
committee of the miners and opera
tors, assisted by John Mitchell, presi-
dent of the United Mineworkers, has
been ratified by the full conference.
Orders to clean up the mines have
been issued and work will be resumed
June Is. The settlement covers Kan
sas, Indian Territory, Arkansas and
Missouri and involves more than TO-
600 men. The 1903 scale is to prevail
for two years, and small difficulties at
several mines are to arbitrated. Mr..
Mitchell aided very largely in securing
the agreement, being called in after
the conference had reached a dead
lock-
Baker City, Ore.-Dr. Ison, the
coroner, was sent for from the
Sparta mining camp to hold an inquest
on the remains of two men killed in
an explosion at mine in that vicinity.

Bringing about 100000 in treasure,
the first shipment since navigation
opened on the Yukon river the Alas
ka Steamship company's steamer Dol
phin has arrived in port at Seattle.
On the steamer were So passengers,
~ being from Dawson, Atlin and
other interior camps. 1t was the first
crowd of the season to reach Skag-
way and consisted of the passengers
of the river steamers Thistle and
Prospector. The two boats were the
first to leave Dawson for White
Horse, and bucked the ice all the way
to the rapids city.
For the year ended June / 1906,
the mines owned or controlled by the
Amalgamated Copper company of
Butte yielded net returns of $13,8O5,.
S11.67, which was $5,113,56815 more
than the preceding year. These fig
ures were made public today when the

Manuel Martinez, aged II years, a
Mexican coal worker, has been arrest.
ed at Trinidad, Colo, charged with
having set fire to the big Engleville
coal mine, owned by the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company. Martinez was
discharged from the mine three weeks
ago, and the next day the property
began to burn. Hundreds of miners
were imperilled, many of them being
saved with difficulty. The fire is re,
ported to be still burning f1ercely. The
loss to the fuel company already is
estimated at over 100000.

CENTER OF BLOODSHED IN RUSSIA
of
Towns in the Cars Empire

Moscow, in the streets of which ter
rible battles were fought between the
revolutionary mobs and the soldiers
of the czar, is the Oldest and most
famous city in the Russian empire
In picturesque sights and wealth Of
tradition it is not surpassed by any in
the world, and recent events have
made it still more historic, by adding
another bloody chapter to it's chron-
icles.
For many centuries Moscow was
the chief city of the realm, the heart
of MuscOvy, where the cars held high
court in the barbarously beautiful
buildings which they erected to per-
petuate their memory. Even now, al
though for reasons of convenience the
governmental activities have been
transferred to st. Petersburg, it is still
the official capital of the empire. Here
the slow growth of years has built up
that mighty Enclosure of palaces and

Storms on Mars Terrific.

Weather wise prophets are issuing
bulletins of the rain and shine in
Mars. The most tumultous tempests
that the elements offer the earth
dwel1er are holidays compared with
the storms of two weeks and again
of forty-one days in length which Prof.
Pickering of Harvard has found rag
ing around Martians. The clouds of
Mars are always light yellow. The
desert regions are a darker shade of
yellow. Long duration of storms and
long clear intervals between are char
acteristics of Marian weather. One
possible reason for the great meteor
illogical changes is the greater tenuity
of atmosphere there. Mars presents
vast and conspicuous changes in ap-
pearance, whereas a Marian astrono-
mer, looking towards earth, would
find that the annual changes which he
could perceive over the surface OF our
planet present considerable sameness
and lack of variety.

Hens Now Rival Of Cow.

The farmers hen is becoming a
worthy companion to his COW, says
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. The
annual production of eggs is now
score of billions. Poultry products
have climbed to a place of more than
half a billion dollars in value. Dur
ing the last sixteen years the domestic
exports of farm products have amount
ed to $4,000, 100000, more than
enough to buy all of the railroads of
the country at their commercial value,
and this was a mere surplus for which
there was no demand at home Wealth
production on the farms of the United
States in 1905 reached the highest
amount ever attained in this or any
other country-s6,4 15 ,00O,O 900. Should
there be no release from his present
position as a wealth producer three
years hence the farmer will find that

equal to one-ha1f of the entire ma
tfonal wealth produced in three-cen-

TRIUMPH OF MODERN HYGIENE
Largely Shown In Constantly increas-
ing Longevity.

ing Longevity.
There can be no question that the
prevalence of certain diseases has in
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these are diabetes
and insomnia, both of which are large
ly due to the mental stress of hard
er struggle for existence. The in
creased consumption of alcohol and
the free use of narcotics are also re-
sponsible for many morbid conditions
unknown to our harder forbears. But,
in comparing the present prevalence
of diseases with that of the past there
are several factors for which due al
lowance is often not made. One of
these is that our forefathers died, as
a rule, at a considerably younger age
than their descendants; if they did
not perish by the sword they were
moved down from time to time by the
plague and other devasting epidemics.
In this way they escaped many of the
diseases not only of old age, but of
advanced middle generation represent
ed to much larger extent than is now
the case the survival of the fittest.
Most of the weaklings is that it has
preserved large proportion of these

Beautiful Brazil woods are recon-

OF many kinds abound, are easy to

pany with 100000 is beginning to

hopes to overcome obstacles by the ap-
plication of modern milling and trans
portation methods. An elevated swing

Great West Coming To Its own.

The mighty west is coming into its
own. The present growth of the coun-
try is authoritatively stated to center
west of a line drawn from Chicago to
New Orleans. The secret Of the
growth is found not in any fever for
sudden wealth but is the secret of
working race. The wheat fields of the
Dakotas and Montana, the timber
lands of Washington and Oregon, the
salmon fisheries of the north coast,
the coal mines of British Columbia
are stubborn resources to be developed
slowly by coaxfng and humoring with
a risk of long years and all the for
tunes of the pioneers. Through labor,
self-sacrifice, patience, and courage
these great states are being built with
golden destinies. The capitalists of
the mighty west, whose "mightfer
