r,.s BLOODY CAMPAIGN ENDING
IN TENNESSEE.

-poIitics makes strange bedfellows;
.un,u, that "a not all. It makes the bit
xerest of all enmities- II converts

: and to destroy each other That is
che sort OF politics they have had from
che first in the good old state Of Ten
.-nessee, and that is the quality OF It IN
certain other states.
The Nashville tragedy is all the
-xnore deplorable because it was wholly
unnecessary. In the first place, Sen
ator Carmack, who was a candidate
On the recent fiery contest, should at
-Seast have left off his caustic and
~merciless attacks when the contest
ended. In the second place, the edi-
aoriaI expression which is said to have

-ahe third place, seeing that the trouble
-shad been brewing and going from bad
20 worse for several weeks, there is
.sahardly any excuse for the friends Of
4he two men who failed TO intervene
and thus prevent the deadly duel.
Senator Catmack was oSe of the
ablest and best equipped public men
of the South. He had in him the ele-
ments of a great man, including that
sort OF courage which dared to put it
10 the touch TO gain or lose it all.
The contest between him and Cover

where they stood Their candor and
courage actually reflect upon public
men Of their states who sport white
Feathers as their most conspicuous
means of adornment.
The lesson Of the tragedy is for the
man in journalism as well as for the
man in other branches of politics.
There has never been time when a
large contingent of the reading pub

would warm their prejudices. feed
their passions. satisfy their appetites
for war They have yearned for a
strife that is sensational and for
1ragety with blood Some of them
shave apparently looked upon duels be-
tween editors or candidates as choice
sporting events, while others have
1hemselves gone into the disagree
ments more heartily, and have taken
sides in long-continued feuds and wars
that have destroyed the peace and

WONDERFUL CAVE IN
THE M'D0NALD-ElY MINES

A big cave is reported to have been
found ON the Robust claim. about Two
miles from Ely a part OF the Mcdonald

Morris Roberts was in Ely TINS aitef-

and stalagrnites which he had secured IN

his wife and brother and Morris Roberts
secured a supply of candles and started

Roberts describes the cave as being sit
mated on the Hill above the Robust mill
and a considerable distance above the tun-
nal on the claim. The entrance 10 the
cave is small and IN order 10 get inside

the cave widens out and opens into a
room fully fifty feet square In this room
there are numerous stalacutes hanging
from the roof and numerous staIagfnites
formed on the floor. some of them the size
OF human beings. which would tend TO
show that the cave is an old one and was
many centuries in process Of formation.

There are several corridors leading out
OF the main chamber into smaller rooms
ana these are of the same formation as

leading down from the different rooms
that could not be explored by the party
at the time because of their unknown
depth and angles. There are also shafts

cave that seems to come from some place

put the other outlet was not found and

Sages that lead off from the entrance that
was found by the Elyites.
Ihere nave been stories of caves told
by some of the oid-time miners of that
section of the district for many years, but
me fact that one of the size discovered by
Mr.. MCGEE existed on q property as well
known as the Robust was never believed.
In running the tunnel on the Robust prep
cry some years ago small cave was en-
cOuntered and was used as a dump by the
men who were working there. but it did
rot compare In size TO the one recently
discovered. That the one found by the
miners may have been a corridor running
OIL from the main cave now seems prob
able, as the large cave is nearly directly
over the old tunnel site and several nun
dred feet higher.
Roberts gave a picturesque description
OF one of the rooms of the cave which he
explored. He stated that the stalactites
and stalaRmiteS were so large and close
together that the appearance of the room
from a distance of several feet was that
or large prison with huge bars and there
looked to be no way of getting in or out
of it. but on a closer inspection IL was
found that there was room for man to
walk between them and reach the other
end of the room.
Roberts and MCGEE are to get a com
plete prospecting outfit together with a
quantity of rope and a good supply Of
candles and make thorough examination
of the cave some time this week They
Will attempt to explore the holes that lead
from the floor of the cave in the hopes of

secured by Heinze only for the purpose
of giving access, by crosscuts. into the

be used. and is in such a dilapidated and
dangerous condition that TO repair il

of low-grade bituminous coal and Ignite.
AS the federal statutes providing for the
sale of coal land by the general land Of
flee specify only the minimum charge per
acre. the townships included in this great
coal field were withdrawn from entry
three years ago and the secretary of the
interior Instructed the geological survey

Factors in Classifying Coal Lands.

The classification and valuation of coal
land depend on three factOrs-the dis
lance from railroad. the character OF
the coal. and the depth at which IL oc-
ours below the surface or distance from
outcrop. The two general classes Of coal
land according to the law. are ca coal
land within fifteen miles of a railroad in
actual operation or under construction.
Oh coal land more than fifteen miles
from a railroad. BY the terms of a
scheme of classification and valuation ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
April Is 1905 the coal is divided into four
groups. according to its character. rang
ing from anthracite and coaking Goals in
the first group 10 Ignite and loW-grade
sub-bituminous coal in the fourth group.
All of the coal in the Powder River field
seems to be loW-grade sub-bituminous,
and the land is therefore given the min
imum value fixed by law-s20 per acre if
within fifteen miles of railroad and $40
per acre beyond that limit The scheme
further specifies that this classification
as coal land applies only to land under
lain by coal beds from their outcrops or
points of accessibility to a depth of LOO
feet if the coal is sub-Dituminous of
workable thickness. and at distance or
not more than three miles from the out
crop or point of accessibility if the beds
are approximately horizontal.
