The Chariot crosscut, which was run at
considerable expense to cut that lode by
an eastern company, and after striking
the lode, the question arose as to how
best relieve the lode of an immense amount
of water contained in the upper levels OF
the old Chariot mine without endanger-
ing the lives of the men who would have
to tap the water-the distance from the
mouth Of the tunnel to the face being
over one mile, the water in the mine be-
ing eight hundred or a thousand feet
deep. A prominent mining man here
has studied out the manner in which it
can be done without the least danger to
any miner greater than run in ordinary
mining. The releasing of the water by
his process is so simple that it has been
overlooked. If the company wants the
water released, this gentleman will take
the contract to do so. Let the company
drop a line to this office and we will put
them in communication with the gentle
man.

FUNNY STORY
Is That An 0ver-zeaIous Press
Agent Gets Up About the
State Senators.
lspccIaI CORRESPONDENCE

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 90
Auditor Scherr's press agent claims
TO have taken pole of the senate
which would show that nearly every
Republican member of that body Is
for Scherr for the Republican nom
nation for governor. The article
which tells of the poll and
which was written by his official press
agent goes on to say that this body
is for Scherr now and always and In
Inmates that the senators live and die
by the auditors wishes.
In his excitement the press agent
goes on to charge that Secretary Of
State Swsher has been influencing the
Scherr senators and it was through
Swisher that the prohibition amend
ment was defeated.
The article is causing much amuse-
ment here. The politicians are ask
ing how it comes that Swisher can
dictate to the Scherr men. They
seek TO know why If the senate is a
Scherr body that Scherr is not to be
held responsible for the prohibition
amendment failing to pass
The facts of the case are that the
senators pay little attention to any
candidate for governor or for any
other position when 1t comes to yo-
ting. The fact is that the sentiment
of the upper house was against SUBJ
hitting this matter to the people and
it is believed that two or possibly
three more votes could have been
mustered to defeat the resolution in
the event of their being necessary.
1t is not believed that such articles
are calculated to aid Auditor scherrs
candidacy, nor is it believed that the
attacks on swishdr's private charac-
ter will be well received throughout
the state.
