Mining

Foreman John Rule naturally
feels proud of the fact that the
Arnold Mine was able to run
every day the past week, but the
prospects for the same condition
of affairs to prevail this week is
not so bright, he says.
Both Luther and James Brown
are firemen at the No. IL shaft
at night, they are both good men
for the place. Luther says his
health is failing on account of
night work and wants to be re-
lieved.
Coal business showed some i'm
provement last week. Ninety
six cars being shipped by the st.
Bernard Co., in one day and it is
hoped that the good work may
continue, and our miners and
operators be blessed with pros.
porous times from now on.
Paducah parties it is reported
will soon open a new coal mine
near or at White Plains. The
heavy rains of late have been the
cause of delay in opening this
mine, which will add another to
the numerous mines now in
operation on the Illinois Cen
trail r. r. between Dawson and
Central City.
Occasionally a mule runs
away in the mines, as was the
case last week, when one made a
break for liberty with the result
of the car jumping the track and
knocking down some timbers
and delaying work for about one
hour, without much damage to
either property or mule.
The fact was forcibly revealed
last week, that although fore

hibltionest he is also in favor OF

contact with last week when an
old abandoned entry broke
through. nearly drowning him.
That the coal leaders In the
mines here are paid well is evil
dent from the fact that a good
average days work will net them
three dollars, some making
double that amount. Yet the
labor IS very heavy and tlresome
and requires muscle to stand up
to it every day.
Foreman Jno. Robinson, of
the Nortonville mine, along with
his family, made relatives visit
here last Sunday, Reports from
that place indsiate that John as
a foreman is proving a success

warships has not been as great
as was expected on their journey.
Yet with four large engines at
work all the time an enormous
amount of coal was certainly
used. Safe to say that the
daily consumption was equal to
the production of either of the
st. Bernard Miners for the same
length of time.
Our miners ought to hail with
delight the announcement that
in u short time whisky may be
voted out of MadisonYille. The
temperance element should lend
a helping hand to fight the sa-
looms and drive them out of the
county, and thus save thousands
of dollars now spent yearly. 1t
is safe to say that twenty good
dwelling houses could be built
yearly with the money now
spent in the saloons of Madison
vile, by the miners of Earling-
ton alone. so when the cam
paign opens send in yourldollar
to swell the fund needed to fight
for home and morality.
Twenty-three cars of coal on a
double header were seen enroute
North last Saturday, most of
which was being shipped to st.
Louis Division of the L. & N.
r. r. Co., and for use on their
road engines.
For the purpose of freeing
that portion of the mine now
flooded with water, foreman
Geo. Wyatt has three crews of
men working eight hour each
day. The heavy spring rains
has made the question of keep
ing the miners dry a serious one.
One day the past week a poor
unfortunate mule walked away
from It's diver unawarss at the
Arnold mine and came in con-
tact with some loaded cars while
in motion, with the result that
one of his legs was broken and 1t
was indeed a pitiful sight to see
the poor brute led through the
streets by sympathizing darby
who hoped to save its life by
setting the broken limb In plast-
er paris.
Rumor says that just one year
to day from the time the King
ton Coal Co., commenced work
on developing their new nine
coal for the market was loaded.
The opening of this mine was a
big undertaking requiring the
building of about four miles of
railroad and the purchase of an
engine for same, and the COM
pany deserves success for the
pluck and enterprise shown.

crushing coal. The only draw
back is the erection of coal
bin now being constructed by
foreman Toombs and Tom
Hodge. This is a heavy piece of
work and will require some time
to complete it.
At this time of writing it
seems probable that the trouble
between the operators and min
ers In Illinois and Indiana will
be adjusted. A vote has been
taken in Illinois in accepting the
terms offered them by the opera
tors, which is virtually the old
scale, with the exception that
miners pay the shotfires, and the
result is that majority voted to
accept said offer. Unless some
other hitch OCCURS work in all
the mines of that state will soon
be resumed.
Sometimes the enactment of
new laws seem to be very un-
just on account Of the
injury they infict to bust
ness enterprises. Take for in
stance the law passed by con-
gress which forbids railroad
companies from owning and
operating coal mines. Such a
law works a great injury to
those men who have placed large
sums of money developing and
operating coal mines and now
find this source of revenue cut
off and in some cases forcing
them to sell their property at a
great loss.
A late decision handed down
by Interstate Commerce Com
mission is, that hereafter rail-
roads in making a distribution
of coal cars among the coal pro-
ducers must see that each mine
is allowed its fair and just pro.
portion of the coal cars, esti-
mated upon its justly ascertain
ed capacity for the last few
years. Considerable complaint
has been made, especially on the
Illinois Central, that favoritism
had been shown in the distribu-|
ton of cars and sometime last
year Secretary Geo. q. Atkinson
of the St. Bernard Mining Co.,
was an important witness in a
test case brought before the
courts to see if such discrimina-
ton existed.
What great contrast there is
between the union and nou-
union miners of this as well as
other states when we view them
from a law abiding standpoint.
Operators who are opposed to
union labor are forced for PRO
lection of men and property to
place guards around it, while
property is safe that is operated
by union operators and guards
are not necessary. One class be-
lieyes in strict adherence to the
law, while the other cares not
what steps are taken to accom-
plish their purpose and this
spirit of anarchy is what is
causing the sentiment of the
sober thinking people to change
In favor of law and order.
