Some of the prettiest ore yet
made in the camp is being clean
ed by Ed. Hamilton at shaft No.
4 on the Sunburst lease. 1t is a
bright gold color, in free forma-
tion, with a gaugue of sandstone
and flint. 1t is easily cleaned and
of a very high quality. The
sinking at this shaft shows very
rich ore, in so soft a formation
that very little powder is requir-
ed, as most of it is a pick and
shovel proposition.
The new development at the
Eastman Development Co. prop
erty is showing up in fine shape,
enabling the mill to be run the
better part of the time the past
few weeks. The development to
the west seems to verify the drill
ings in that direction, which
showed large deposit of ore
under the hill to the west of the
mill site. Shaft No. 2 is being
developed and a tram will be
built from this shaft to the mill
as soon as quantity of ore can
be hoisted.
John M. Rice has leased out
the Alton shaft and the work
done so far is developing some
very good lead ore, in an open
formation. above the water level,
which saves the pumping of
water. This shaft is the farthest
shaft east in the entire camp and
only emphasizes the fact that the
confines of the ore deposits have
not yet been reached in any di-
rection. The quality and forma'
ton of the ore being mined at
this property is such as to lead
to the conclusion that it is to be
continuous throughout the lease.
Adjoining the Sweeney mine
to the south is the Big Jack prop
lerty, where three shafts are be-
ing operated. At No. l shsft
large amount of development
work has been done and a large
pile of ore has been dumped.
Drifting from this shaft is being
pushed to connect up with shafts
No. ? and 3, which are now be-
ing sunk. Number 2 shaft is into
an exceedingly rich ore bed,
while number three has just been
started. The drilling on this
property promises to make this
mine one of the big producers in
the camp.
Continuous work is going on at
the 81 plant. The big opening
south of the mill has been clean
ed out, and a large deposit of free
ore has been exposed all around
the opening which can be seen
from the surface. This property
holds the record for the most ore
milled in twenty hours, and it
looks very much as if this old
record might he beaten by the
supply of ore now in sight. A
new concrete foundation has been
put in at the base of the holster
house derrick, which is intended
to support the derrick, as the
ground had caved in from under
meath the derrick frame.
Installation of the big centri-
fugal pump and gasoline engine
by the Success Mining Company,
which has taken over the Mason
property, has been completed and
the unwatering of the mine is
only a matter of few days,
This property has been put in
excellent condition by the new
company and an exceptional rec
ord is looked for from the opera
tons at this mine at once. A
bed of rich ore 81 feet in thick
ness has been opened up in this
and enough of develop
ment has been done on the ore
bed to furnish the mill with all
the ore it can handle. The equip

CONNECTS FIRE MINE
THOUGHT TO ESCAPE DURING
THE CONFUSION.
EIGHT ARE BURNED TO DEATH
Only one Of Fifty Is Missing and Il ls
Not Known Whether He
Perished or Escaped.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov 1S,-Fifty
state convicts employed in the mines
at Pratt City formed a conspiracy
Tuesday night to set No. mine ahre
and escape during the confusion and
as a result eight Of them are burned to
death, one is missing and the other
forty-one are safely locked in the
stockade.
The coup was cunningly planned and
daringly executed. A pile of timber
laying in the main way was set on fire
and the convicts hoped when atten-
ton had been attracted to the flames
they could make their way through the
mine and escape by the main entry.
They had hoped to be able to make
their way along the mine ahead Of tho
smoke and fumes from the Are. In
this they miscalculated for nine ap-
pear to have been suffocated. The
others appeared to be meeting with
success when the mine officials sus-
pscted something. One employe saw
the flames burst out and they came so
suddenly and in such volume that he
was sure oil or some highly combus-
tible matter had been used In starting
the IRE.
Guards were at once placed and the
forty men were caught as they came
from the main entry. The rescue work
was then begun, for, in addition to the
convicts, It was known that there
were a number OF free laborers In the
mines. All appear TO have been got
ten out safely, except the convicts
near the source of the flames, who
we're early suffocated.
In checking over the prison lists
Tuesday night, only one man is miss
ing and it is not known whether he
persisted or made his escape
The fire did little damage to the
mines.

Kentucky can be found wherein
the citizens will respond more
readily to the call of fire than
darlington. This has been made
manifest during the past few
days, when the fire alarm was
turned in three different times
and the fires quickly extinguish
ed by our citizens, who in a few
minutes were at the conhagra-
ton and went to work with a vim
the same as they do when labor
ing in the mines.
Pittsburg coal is said to now
be taken from beneath the sur
face of the Mississippi river, near
Hickman, KY, where a large
cargo was lost about II years ago
consisting of % barges, amout
ing to about 100000 bushels.
The low stage of the river ex-
posed the coal, aud the citizens
nearby are awaiting themselves
of the opportunity to lay in a
cheap supply of fuel of the win
ter. Thousands of bushels OF
this same coal could be got from
the Ohio at Henderson, where
many tow boats have bee n
wrecked by striking the bridge
piers.

oWTH THE MINES AND MINERS. ~

IL mine. The division means
nearly double the production,
the chief cause being the shorten
ing Of the haul.
Another frghtfnl explosion
has taken place In one of the
European mines, with terri
BILE loss of life, and now we sup
pose a renewed effort will be
made towards securing in some
way, more safety for the miners.
A step in that direction has been
taken in this country.
Work on the Hecla scales, un-
der the direction of Foreman
Toombs, is now progressing rap
idly, and it is confidently ex-
pected that they will be ready
for use before the expiration of
this week. This will be a great
relief to the railroak company,
who now have to weigh all coal
loaded at the Hecla mine.
AT Linton, Ind, quite large
number of men were reported
idle by some correspondent dur
ing the campaign. This, the
miners there Indignantly deny,
and state that never before was
work better there than now.
The only men idle are those who
refuse to work because some hu-
name operator refused to rein
state driver he saw fit to dis
charge for cruelty TO animals.
Another new mining company
has been incorporated In Hop.
kins county, and a large tract of
coal lands secured near White
Plains. 1t is SAID that the de-
velopment of this new mine
will soon be under Roadway. So
it can be seen that with the ex-
ceptlon of that portion lying in
the extreme Northeast corner
of the county, an abundance of
coal can be found all over this
county.
Some men connected with the
mining companies seem to jubi-
late over the fact that the coal
business the past week or two,
showed weakening, simply be-
cause the party favoring the pro-
tectiye tariff, said that the re-
turn of prosperity would follow
the election of Taft, but they did
not say that the resumption
would occur at once. All signs
point TO an early return of pros.
perity.

Lee Favors, who is foreman of
the drivers in new No. III mine,
says in short time that mine
will be able to produce daily
about 20 cars of coal, and if so,
this Will place it up among the
leaders.
All trouble between the miners
and operators in the Anthrlcite
field has been amicable settled
by the board Of Cancellation,
which has been in session some
time considering the difference
existing there.
One State lately received the
SUM of 1918 for filing the
charter OF a new coal company,
which owns the mineral rights to
$4,000 acres. This is said to be
the largest amount ever paid by
coal company for filing a char
ter.
The st. Bernard Mining Com
pauy are now receiving an enor-
nous amount of mine timber
bers Of all kinds, preparing for a
big winters work, and also to
avoid a shortage when the wat
ers run and snow makes bad
roads.
During the prOtracted drought
that has existed in southern I'LL
nois, many farmers in the vicin-
ity Of Mt. Vernon have availed
themselves a large amount Of
coal, which they have found
cropping out in the dry creeks
and streams.
A peculiar case has been
brought TO trial in OHIO, at a
mine, or mines near Athens.
800 miners who own dogs have
refused to pay taxes on them,
and the authorities have there
fore levied it on the houses they
reside in which belong to the
coal companies.
The late election showed one
thing plainly, and that was that
GOmpers, Mitchell or any other
labor leader, can not lead the
workingmen of this country to
vote against what they consider
their best interest, on in other
words, they refused to take or
ders from hired dictators.
The daily production Of the
Old No. III mine show quite
PLAINLY that it has not been Grip.
