SPREAD CIRCULARS
broadcast Throughout the British
lsles Attempting to Offset the
Work of Hon. John Nugent in that
!. Section Of the World.

| During the three months Hon
John Nugent spent in Europe study
ing the conditions of the British
miner with view of securing for
West Virginia practical miners,
skilled in the mines Of England, that
country was flooded with literature
sent from this country, supposedly
by the officials of the mine workers
whose headquarters are at Indianap-
Oils This literature is said to have
! badly misrepresented the. condition
Of the miner in this state and was
sent to the British Isles for the pur-
pose Of lettering the miners Of that
Country 10 come to this land Of OPP
portunity.
Mr. Nugent did not see any Of the
literature that is said to have been
scattered broadcast, and was very
much surprised to learn that such
steps had been taken by the organi-
zation to keep practical miners away
from West Virginia. In talking with
a representative Of the Mail this
morning, the State Superintendent
Of immigration said:
1T was considerable Of q surprise
TO me to learn that the United
Mine Workers officials had gone so
far in portraying the conditions of
West Virginia to prevent the intro
duction OF practical, Enghsh-speak-
lng' miners, as to send personal let
ters to England to try and prevent
honest, sober, industrious and prac-
teal miners from coming to our
Estate, when they were fully aware
that from southern Europe we were
daily receiving hundreds of men,
undesirable citizens and impractical
as far as mining is concerned.
IF the United Mine Workers Of
ficials are as DESTROYS as they appear
to be for better understanding be-
tween them and the coal operators,
1t can easily be accomplished and
brought about by the introduction
Of practical English-speaking miners
VINO are not only anxious and will
Ing to, come, and recognizing the con-
ditions we offer, not only willing to
accept work, but anxious to become
American citizens.
"The circulars going have had the
opposite effect from that expected
and anticipated, because there are
thousands anxious and willing to
come, and from the reports from
men already hsre, whom 1 had not
the pleasure Of seeing before leaving
England, 1t seems that 1t will be the
means Of bringing hundreds of men
and establishing a channel of i'm
migration that will build I'D rather
than pull down.
Il desire to say to the miners OF
West Virginia that / realize the ne
cessity Of their being organized, and
still have hopes Of seeing West Vir-
8tnia have an organization second
to none, but as ] have told them on
| many occasions, when West Virgin
la Is organized it will be by the ef-
forts, honesty and energy Of the
miners Of West Virginia"

add 70 the success which has crowned
the efforts Of operators in making the
business a paying one and also estab-

Business records will show that TO do
this. 1t is necessary for an extraordin-
airy amount to be done and all con-

a known fact that in the past few
twelvemonths there have been many
large deals negotiated in this special
line, and that any one who can go
better than these must indeed have
something big under cover-yet in
many cases that is just what has taken
place and is at this time going on.
Should one frequent the offices of real
estate men it would not take them long
TO be impressed with the life and ac-

Denver Union Stock Yards. April
market on beef steers was some
what uneven last week but prices at
the close were about steady. Cows
were in strong demand and not enough
of good ones offered. Prices closed a
little higher on the best but the poorer
grades were slow and weak. Bulls
were in fair demand but lower owing
to the eastern declines. Veals active
and 10 to 25 cents higher. Feeder
and stocker demand was strong and
not enough good steers here to meet it
but prices We're weak because of low
er markets east. Good corn fed steers
sold here last week at a. 80, hay and
pulp feds at S4.25 to f475, corn fed
cows at 1915 to $4.OO and bulk of
pretty good hay and pulp fed cows
around 3d. 30 to S3 So. Medium cows
sold at $3.50 to So 25 end the poorer
grades down to f2. 25 Bulls brought
f2, so to 50. 15, veals $5. 90 to IS so and
most of the feeders and stockers offered
sold at $3 rs to S4.25, quality of the
latter just fairly good. Today's re-
ceipts were 1900 head, beef steers
strong to dime higher, good cows at
10 to 10 cents higher and feeders and
stockers firm. The market here is
now in fine shape and prices prevail
ing are rather higher, freight and
shrink considered, than at eastern
points. Demand is especially strong
for good feeders and stoe kers and
liberal shipments wanted
The outlook for satisfactory cattle
and hog prices during the next few
years is very bright. and the demand
for choice breeding stock now is es-
pecially good Stockmen realize
that it pays to breed the best and are
making every effort to build up the
quality of their stock An opportu-
nifty to buy breeding cattle and hogs
of the very best kind will be- offered
at these yards on April ., 10 and II
when W. N. Rogers of McCook, Neh.,
and other we'll known breeders will
hold their big combination sale of

These men are coming to Denver with
the product of years of experience in
breeding to be offered to the highest
bidder, and stockmen wanting such
