Il am in the mining business, and It is
an exceedingly good business right now
continued Mr. Wonderland .,fhe prin-

time is In getting labor. Miners. like
those who belong to the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners. get from g to $3.50 a day,
and they cannot be found even at that
price. There are 'muckers.' hand men.
and machine men. and they viii no more
do another's work than a steam-ftter
will do plumbing The question is a Sc
rious one, and mining people realize az
much.
II am interested IN both Utah and
Nevada prospects and properties, and. 50
far as Western people are concerned.
there has been no cuTtaigment in any
line of work because OF the money ST.
uation in the East 1t must be admitted.
however, that in properties controlled
by Eastern capital, there have been DIFF
heulties, because Il Is 10 the East they
must look for money. On the other hand,

him yet
But Minnesota has always been a

The iron miners strike in Minnesota
has had an effect on the shipping from

who protest the title TO some 5. 10000
acres Of land held by the Northern Pa

the Taft-Foraker affair.

country. With a population Of less than
1900, we have four national banks, rec

As for factionalism, We have less OF
it in the eastern part Of Ohio than any
part Of the State, but we DO have our
differences. They are wholesome ones,
however"

The yellow fever which has broken
out on the island is called by the natives
patriotic fever" said Mr. Baehr last
night.
The reason for this is that it never

American occupation. and the cases now
extant constitute the greatest number
since I went to Cienfuegos in 1901.
