Early American Mine.

The first bituminous coal mined in
the United States, states the United
States Geological Survey, was taken
from what is usually termed the Rich
mond basin, small area in the south
eastern portion of Virginia, near the
city of Richmond, says writer in
the Scientific American.
This basin is situated on the east
ern margin of the Piedmont plateau.
13 miles above tidewater, on the
James river. 1t lies in Goochland, Hen
rico, Powhatan and Chesterfield
counties.
The coal beds are much distorted,
and the coal is of rather low grade
when compared with that from other
districts with which 1t has to come in
to competition. The occurrence of
coal was known in the Richmond bas-
in as early as 1700 and in 1889 ship
ments were made to some of the north
ern states.
In 1922 the production amounted to
4S,215 gross tons. At present what lit
tie coal is produced in this field is for
local consumption only.

NO SMALL CHANGE
NlckELs AND DIMES UNKNOWN
IN ALASKA.
Their Use, the Miners Say, Would
Mean Smaller Waess--Why Rob-
bers Have Small Chance to
Escape Capture.

mo pennies, nickels and dimes go
in Alaska" said John Hoover of Fair
banks. when l first went to that
country saw bartenders look curl
ously at dime that some teuderfoot
had tossed on the bar and then sweep
it off on the floor with their hands.
1 wondered at this contempt for real
money and asked some questions
about it, discovering that no one ever
took nickels or dimes and that moth
ing could be bought in the Klondlke
for less than % cents.
Take the ordinary sack of tobacco
for instance, which we get here for
nickel There they cannot sell It for
quarter hardly, so they make 1t two
for quarter, but will not sell one for
Is cents.
"It Is common cause among those
people UP there. They do not want
nickels and dimes introduced, for in
PRODUCTION of small change would
mean lower wages and lower prices.
Ordinary shovelers get four dollars or
five dollars day now ard other labor
is paid in proportion. They do not
want to receive lower wages.
"Of course it is true that they make
money on the side, almost every work
er does. There is tendency in mining
to follow the rule that nuggets belong
to the man who uncovers them even
II they are found on the claim of the
employer. l have seen men pick on
nuggets worth from an insignificant
sum to $10S in value. The game up
there is worth playing. ] have had
this bag half filled with gold dust sew
to keep right on till | make strike
Mr.. Hoover has with him one of the
leather bags that the dust is carried
in I'm Alaska. 1t is about IL inches in
length and fiat and is about four
inches across. 1t ties with a thong.
"This looks as if an elephant had
stepped on it," he said but it has had
the dust in it up in the Klondike all
right
There are mighty few robbers in
Alaska. 1t doesn't take more than
four years to try criminal and give
him proper punishment up there; and
besides, he can be caught. There is
only one way out and that is guarded.
Besides, gold dust is as easily identi-
fed as different kinds of cloth or cat
tie. An assayer or banker in Seat
tie, for instance, will tell you whether
your gold is from one creek or an
other. There is sometimes ten per
cent. difference in the value of the
gold streams running parallel on diff
ferent sides of the same mountain.
A holdup man who acquires gold dust
would have to account for it when he
went out, and it cauld be traced easi-
ly."-Des Moines Register and Leader.

Antiquity of Cotton Fabrics.

1t would be difficult to say where
exactly, and at what date the manu-
facture of cotton fabrics began. In
comparatively modern times it has
become an industry of Importance in
Europe, but it has fiourished in the
east from period too remote to ad-
NIT of calculation. The Egyptians
certainly used both cotton and linen
materials, for fragments of such stuff
have been preserved among the other
relics of their ancient civilization;
and there is much reason to believe
that the elaborate draperies of the
Assyrians were cottons or muslins
finely woven of delicate texture In
China, too, and India the same kinds
of materials have been the common
wear of the people from time i'm
memorial; in fact, everywhere
throughout the east cotton fabrics
We're produced and used long before
the primitive Europeans had begun
to develop any of the graces of civili-
cation, or indeed, had ceased to be
anything but skin-clad savages.

JUSTICE FOR POOR
SPLENDID DEED TO CREDIT OF
NEW YORK LAWYER.
Man Of Eminenoe at the Bar Devoted
His Time and Money to Defense
of Unfortunate, Friend
less Woman.

shrinking woman in the shadow
of the electric chair, or certainly of
prison cell, with a little girl clinging
to her, was q spectacle in the New
York criminal court that fixed the at
tention of the city and, in way, of
the nation. 1t was character in the
old story of a husbands infamy and a
wife's sorrow, of tragedy in which
the woman was strengthened by des-
peration and sent to his death the
brute who assailed her and stood
forth with blood upon her hands, al.
though not in any real sense a MUIR
derer
Here was one of the cases that
often are raihoaded through the
courts. Only a woman of lowly sta
.tion, without string of friends or in
fluence, without gilt-edged or, indeed,
any other kind of counsel, she seemed
fated to go to death, or at any rate
to immurement in cell and her child
TO be left to the buffeting of hard for
tune. But in New York, so careless
of the individual in its competition for
life and position; in New York, where
poverty abounds and suffering is reck
oned in grand totals; in the great
American metropolis was set the ex-
ample of giving the fullest justice to
the poor. Instead of the court assign
ing for the woman's defense some fail.
ure or legal incompetent, with pit.
tance of fee, to do the perfunctory
work of making a defense, one OF the
leading lawyers of the city was given
the case, with fee of $500. With as
much ability as he would have dis
played in the defense of million
dollar client-perhaps with even more
heart-he built up the woman's plea
until it was made bulwark of secur.
ity about the frail life.
Then the jury was given the case.
For ten minutes it remained out. To
deliberate upon her guilt or inno-
cence? BY no means, but to raise a
purse of $500 with which to send her
out from the hall of stern determine
tions into the sunshine and solace that
$500 would bring woman seeking to
take up again the thread of a broken
life and make that life count for the
good of her child. The big lawyer, for
whom it meant personal cost of
$1,000 to prepare the case, has the
use of his fee already planned. He
will give it to the woman who is debt
tor to him for her liberty. Well might
the foreman of the jury thank him in
behalf of the client for his fine spirit
and remark that if there were more
lawyers of his sanding to take sim
liar course there would be fewer in
nocent persons in prison This in
stance should be an incentive to other
courts and lawyers. The adequate de.
Tense of the unprotected is the noblest
service the courts or the lawyers can
render.

Women Good HARVEST Hands.

Many hundreds of women assisted
in gathering the harvest around Be-
atrice, Neb. They were lured to the
fields by the offer of board and So a
day. A farmer went into Beatrice
looking for farm hands. Loungers in
the town refused to work, and the
farmer had to face the possibility OF
losing part of his crop. He went into
restaurant, and when waiting to be
served was struck with the idea OF
bidding for the mattresses as harvest
ers. He offered them SO day and
every waitress threw aside her apron
and went to the farm. They did such
efficient work that others farmers
sought women, and they drew school
teachers, stenographers and college
girls as well.-New York Press.

of Maj. Brett and Capt. Castle, the
master of the vessel, who directed
the soldiers and the crew, the flames
were subdued although barrel of
gunpowder exploded during the con-

the prevalence of a strong gale:
water was shipped heavily where the

Nevertheless the vessel arrived at
