SHOWING
OF Mine
IS GOOD
STATE COAL COMPANY STOCK
HOLDERS HEAR FINANCIAL
REPORT - GETTING READY
TO REOPEN NINE

Erie, Aug. 29.-Upon a call for a.
State Coal company yesterday
morning, us men. who hold the
majority of the stock, assem- bled to
hear the financial boards report
and, made plans for the continuance
of the business of the company.
There is still $4,000 of the stock
unsold and $4,000 worth has been
sold. The mine was equipped sever
al years ago with the latest improv-
ed machinery valued at $4,000.
If any company would desire to
lease the mine, the stockholders
say that $4,000 would cover the
lease.
After going over the statement of
the engineer and the report of the
expert accountants, itw as found
that only $4,000 would have to be
raised to put the mine in working
order. Enough money can be bor-
rowed on the $4,000 machinery
equipment for new machinery in
the main shaft which is necessary
before work is resumed The stock
holders present yesterday morning
subscribed $500 in a few minutes.
| AS soon as the entire quota is
raised men will be placed at work
making needed repairs. Engineers
have made surveys of the mine late
| ly and the exact work necessary to
be done is known. There is very
little water in the workings and
! few days with an electric pump will
clear the mine of water. New
hoisting machinery will be installed
in the main shaft and by the time
the first lump of coal is ready to be
mined the State mine will have
undergone complete renovating.
Owing to the large number of
stockholders and the fact that when
properly developed it will be one
of the most important coal propo-
sitions in the state, the $4,000 will
be easy to raise from the stock
holders who were not present at the
meeting.

HlE ior an opening for a moment,
hu%eyer, he delivered lively speech
~ Oehalf of the new party and what
" means to the nation
The new party" he said, "has
discarded what is bad of the demo-
cratic party, and what is bad of the
oia republican party. 1t represents
tlI mat its leaders can see of good
Va ooth parties, and few things
thal have not been adopted by
either of the old parties He said
that anyone who sat in the recent
republican convention in Chicago
ana observed what took place there
'ould not do otherwise, If he were
man, than to resolve to withdraw
from the party in whose name the
deeds We're committed.
Lauds Gov. johnson
He lauded Governor Johnson,
whom, he said, had established in
California a government by the peo-
pie; Just what the governors of sew
eral other states are trying to do
IN referring to Theodore Roosevelt
candidate for president on the new
ticket, he said:
No man was ever better friend
to the western country than is Theo-
dore Roosevelt" He told how, when
the bill for reclamation of arid
lands in the west was introduced, it
was Roosevelt who brought about
its passage on account of his love
for the west Roosevelt is the
greatest man this country ever had,
SO far as peace is concerned" he
said 'He believed in being pre-
pared for war in case it should
come; but ever hoped for peace.
Never before in the history of the
nation was there so great a need of
two such men as Theodore Roose-
welt and Hiram w. Johnson to stand
al its head as at the present time. "
COstigan Talks
Z. p. Costigan of Denver then
explained in we'll delivered but
brief speech that the progressive

TO human rights. Human welfare,
the determination of child labor,
better conditions for the laboring
class, both men and women" he
said, are it's prime objects. This
movement calls upon all men who
value the welfare of the nation
above the narrow lines of party, to
rally TO the battle and fight it to a
finish in the cause of humanity. Let
us sweep out all corrupt political
machines" he said, land establish
a new standard of government that
shall stand above reprOach"

that as he was only candidate fol

BULL MOOSE PARTY RALLIES
WITH GOVERNOR JOHNSON AS
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER IN PARK

The Bull Moosers of Greeley had
their first inning Saturday when q
meeting was held in the city park
that drew crowd of greater pro-
portions than has yet been gathered
at political meeting during this
campaign.
Governor Hiram w. johnson Of
California. candidate for vice preei-
dent on the progressive party of
America, arrived in Greeley shortly
after 8 o'clock. With him we're
Governor Carey of Wyoming and E.
p. Costigan of Denver, candidate for
governor of Colorado on the pro-
gressive ticket. They were met at
the station by number of promi-
nent figures in the Bull Moose or

Among them were H. E. Witwer

date for congressman-at-larg j. C.
Nixon of Greeley, candidate for
lieutenant governor; w. j. l.. Crank,
candidate for congressman in the
first district of Colorado, and other
well known local advocates of the
Bull Moose principles. as we'll as
several hundred citizens, who fol-
lowed the big guns and the Greeley
band to the park to hear the creed
of the new party expounded.
Get DUwn to Business
On arriving at the park there was
no time lost. j. C. Nixon at once
proceeded to introduce Governor
johnson of California. Governor
Carey of Wyoming and then E. p.
Costigan, whom he presented as the
next governor of Colorado. This
brief formality over Governor John
son rose to speak.
THE party formed three weeks
ago in Chicago is launched for men
who are not afraid and who are
willing to go forward and fight a
political battle that is not a sham
battle
He described the fundamental
principles of the party, prominent
among which is a scheme of remod-
cling society in measure. He lik-
ened the prominent men and women
of the nation to the drive wheels
of locomotive, and the working
class to the cogs and wheels whicn
we do not see, but which are each
essential to the progress of the loco
motive just as men and women who
work in the CRIME and dust are es-
sential to the progress of the ma
ton.
Believe in Protection
I'VE believe in protection he
said, but not the protection that
aids the fortunate sons of God to
the disadvantage of the working
class. We believe that the first
duty of the nation Is to conserve
| its human resources. and to give the
lowly chance of seeing some OF the
sunlight of God. 1t is the dawnins
OF a new era that means for all
children an equal start in life. and
for all overworked men and women
IL means relief. We believe that in
the brief time that we have to i've
we should do something good politi-
for the good OF
humanity" Governor johnson dld
