Conditions There Are Steadily
Growing Better.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, June 2.-Rev. J.
L. Underwood, who left this city six
years ago to take charge of the Presby--
terian missions in Porto Rico, returned
this week to spend a vacation here.
He is well pleased with his island field,
and says that conditions are steadily
improving under the American regime.
"When the Americans first took pos
session the expectations of Porto Rleans
were aroused beyond reason" he says.
"But the American regime has given
them better schools, better roads, bet
ter postal facilities, and lower and more
equitable taxes, and the complaints that
were so common a few years ago are
gradually ceasing.
'sThe sugar growers are faring par
ticularly well; in fact they are becom-
ing rich under American rule. American
companies have come in, purchased
large tracts of land, and established
immense sugar factories.
"The coffee growers, on the other
hand, are not faring as well under Ameri
can rule as under Spanish. Since the
island became a part Of the United
States, European countries have put uI
tariff bars, and the American consumers
do not seem inclined to pay the high
price that was paid for this coffee in
Europe. The Porto Rican coffee is
therefore compelled to compete with
poorer coffees. The price, which at one
| time was as high as $35 per 100 pound:
on the island, has fallen to $l3 and $l4
"Aside from the coffee growers, tht
people of the island are generally far
I ing we'll under American rule. Tn,
| fruit industry is steadily increaslng.'

. INTO SHOES OF CRANE
Old-Time Friend Of Senator
Gamble May Head States
Central Committee,

Sioux Falls, s. d., June 2.-one
of the strong men of South Dakota is
James D. Elliott, who few weeks ago
resigned the office of United States dis
trict attorney, As the chief lieutenant
of Senator Gamble, Mr.. Elliott had
much to- do with bringing about the re-
cent insurgent republican victory.
All sorts Of reasons for his action
were circulated at the time he resigned,
and it is a. curious thing that none who
guessed about it hit upon the true rea-
Son. It, is, now clearly established that
Mr., Elliott stepped down and ont so he
could be free to take charge OF the cam
paign Of Senator Gamble.
While holding the office, he was for
hidden by the rules of the. department
of Justice from participating actively
in politics. When he was q poor boy,
Robert J. Gamble and his brother, John
R., now dead, aided him in getting q
start and engaging in the practice OF
| law.
This act of kindness he has never for.
I:Senator Gamble that actuated him in
resigning his office SO that he could &C.
lively enter the campaign for the re.
detection Of his old-time friend and
| |benefactor.
| A pronounced sentiment now exists
among the friends of Senator Gamble
for Mr. Elliott's election as chairman
of the republican state committee, to
succeed Frank Crane, the present stal
wart chairman. Whether or not Mr.. Ell.
liot will accept the place is not known
I Even should he not do so, he will
continue to take prominent part IN
the political affairs Of the state, and
for years to come will be one of the
prominent figures. Starting in life
without dollar, this masterful man
by energy and determination, has be
come wealthy. Besides owning a con
trolling interest in two banks, he /.
the owner of about fifteen hundred acre,
Of farm land in Bon Homme county. A
year or two ago he refused an offer o1
$780, 900 for 1000 acres of the land. HI
also is largely interested in the raising
Of livestock and has other interests.
Mr. Elliott was born Oct. z, 1859, a.
Mount Sterling, Ill. His father was
soldier in a Missouri regiment. Th,
Elliott family moved to Dakota in 1872
locating upon government land in Cla7
county. In 1888 the family remove,
to Hurley. James attended the publ
schools at Vernillion and did janito
work in order to pay the expenses of hi

AIR BLAST" CRIPPLE
ATLANTIC MINE AGAIN
Hanging Walls Fall and Force
Air from Slopes with Vio- !
lence of Explosion.

Calumet, Mich, June 2. - "Air
blasts - more numerous and of greater
intensity than formerly experienced, oc-
cured this week in the Atlantic mine.
These disturbances have been noted at
the Atlantic for two years, but they
have become more numerous and of
greater force in. the last few weeks.
Owing to the hanging wall settling
to such an extent that the skips could
not be operated, all mining work was
discontinued about three weeks ago, and
every available man put to. work on the
rst@berPg and reOpsn1dg 5es
and the mill closed. The disturbances
were the most violent that the Atlantic
has experienced. The force Of the
shocks was felt five and six miles from
the property
Disturbances resulting from ''air
blasts' form an interesting subject,
the more so because it is not well un-
derstood. Similar occurrences to those
at the Atlantic underground have been
recorded in the Hillgrove district, New
South Wales, and in the Mysore mines,
India.
These "air blasts" are not in real
ity explosions. They are due to the
bursting of rock under great pressure,
and the disturbance to the air OF the
mine produced by the shock of disrup-
tion. In mines where the rock is un-
der particular strain, by reason OF blg
cavities created by Stopping. causing
large masses of ground to exist under
unbalanced stress, the "air blasts are
more frequent. It is common practice
to sunport the hanging wall by means
| of portions of lode which are left
standing, to do duty as pillars. When
| the pressure from above becomes 700
great for these pillars, to hold the

like a cubical block under testing ma
chine, thev break suddenly with ex-
plosive violence.
As F. w. SpeT. professor OF mining W
IN the Michigan College of Mines has
nointed out, the bursting force is due to
external and not to internal conditions.
When the pressure has become more
than the pillar Of lode rock can bear
/ and the moment of rupture has arrived
even the scratch Of a pick will preclp1-
tate a crash. In mines where the rock
will not stand and the walls settle SLOW

by stopping there are no ar olas1s Wb os
+ disturbances of that nature. When
large areas of roof, which are left hang
4 ing finally fall, they act like a piston
i and force the air out of the old slopes
with all the violence of a gas explosion
i The explosions in the Atlantic and
Quincy are due to the same genera!
cause. and that is general condition OF
strain due to the removal of rock by
} mining. It is reported that the dis
turbances at Hillgrove, New South
Wales have gained in severity as the
, mine has deepened. In the neighboring
Sunlight mine, these troubles are not
known. as the workings are in a slate
of more yielding character.
