Interettug Kotcs cf Events in Neirby Ttwra ia Tirte States. rerECTAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCn.1 Hakkisbukg, October ".James Blick, Inspector of Coal Mines for tbe Seventh bituminous district, comprising Allegheny, "Washington and "Westmoreland counties, gives the lolloping reasons for the reduc tion of production the past year, amounting to 154,'JOo tons, in bis report to the Depart ment o: Internal Affairs: "This reduction ot output is due partly to lack of shipping facilities for the lake trade during the summer months. The extreme mild winter has also caused a falling off in the home consumption, but the principal cause is. I believe. due to the scarcity ol miners. During the shipping season many of the mines were creatlv hampered on this account. It is a notable fact that very many of onr best miners have left the mines and arc seekinc to better tbeir financial condition bv engaging in the various branches of outside labor, and it is not to be n ondered at when we consider the struggle thej have bad in the late years in try ing to keep their families rcSDectablo and above want. If wotako the trouble to compute the number of tons of lump coal produced tor the pa-t three j ears, and tbe average price per ton paid fir Aiming, ana divide the total amount by the number of miners einploj ed,,wo v ill see at once that the average amount lor each person is so small that it will require the housewife to be well versed in the rnles of practical economy in older to make both ends meet. Of coune at some ot our mines, which run pretts teaiul throughout tl'e year, the financial condition of the miners is tar above the average, but a large number of mines de pend principally upon the summer run. and the present rate paid for mining will not admit of much ucmg saved tor idle time. " DAXGEKS THAT THEEATEJ.. After speaking of the tendency in a few mines to neglect precautions for the health and safety of the miners, Mr. Blick points out another danger that arising from natural gas lines being laid over mines. Trouble and liti gation will continue unless the Legislature compels gas companies to place the pipes on top of the ground in crossing mining propertv. He sa in reference to another danger in de veloping tbe coal nimcs in tne future: "A1. i well Known, man) of the gas wells are drilled tin nugh the x'UUburg coalned, and all of ibem in this region are drilled through the lower coal measures. The law directs that all abandoned wells must be plugged at certain points and in a certain manner, and the upper section of the wells will be filled up with sedi ment in t! i' course of tune, but the plugging may be imperfecta done or tho plugs may in , time become useless from decav and gas may. and undoubtedly will, bo held at high pressure belon the upper filling ot sediment, and the fact cf a miner's pick penetrating one of these old gas wells under uch conditions would be attnnded with serious consequences." Fred C. Kcighley. Inspector of the Fifth bituminous district, in which the ill-fated Dun bar mine is located, says in his report which nas prepared before the terrible casualty): "In making my inspections I find there is a disposi tion among the more extensive miners to live up to the law. and many of them openlr ex press a desire to remedy deficiencies. All tho larce mines are now equipped with good machineiy. and many have powerful fans and I thick I can conscientiously sav that, with the exceptions or some of tho smaller operations, these mines are. as a rule, in a very creditable condition. One great source of 'danger lies directly with the miner himself, viz., the neglect to ot np posts jut as fast as his work ing placo advances. Mine bosses in all parts r the district complain that their men over estimate the safety of their -working places, and that often that where they tell a man to Fet up iots the reply is that thev are able to judge of their own safety and" take care of themselves. In cases of that kind the mine boss should show his anthorityand either see the posts nut up or remove the man." ECOXOJIY IK TVOfiKlXG MIXES. "William Jenkins, of tho Second bituminous district, says: "The day for wasting coal has gone by. Practical men have long claimed that more economical methods must be employed. Many of the operators of the drift mines in" the Conncllsville coke region are beginning to see the foil of the old system, and as their supply of coal gets smaller tlw are trying to recover whip that was left in the ribs aiid entry pillars. The Pittsburg coji seam should be carefully worked and evcr ton brougat out if possible. I am satisfied that much of the coal now left in the mine could be takii out by a careful 6 stem and 11 was time we were awakening to this fact. The science of mining is making great advances and improvements within the last few ears have been wonderful, but it can yet be improved and we must be awake. In tho report or 1S&S the inspectors of the First and Third bituminous districts wisely urged some changes in ihe present mining law. It is becoming patent ever da that sneb Change-arc needful The law is indefinite in Sinnc places and ambiguous in others, and be cause ol its obscunt it is almost imp3MUle to get a coin iction. even when we tlnuk the law lias been willullv tiolated. For instance, in the fifth section of the act of June 30. lbS5, on page 11 of the punphlet in which it is puh lisuccL we find the following 'And bore-holes shall be kept not less than 12 feet advance of tne lace, and when necessary, on the sides of the working places, which arc being driven to ward, and in dangerous proximity to, an aband oned mine, or part of a mine suspected of con taining irillammalilp cases.or which H inundated with waier." This is an important part of the act, but the requirement for side-bore boles is tendered of little effect by the words 'when necessary' thus thrown in. These words should hestiicken outaud tbe whole would be Improved. 1 think a commission should be appointed lo revise the Ian and submit the revised law to Hie nest session of the Legislature lor adop tion.

THE FIELD SITUATION. THE FEATURES THAT GIVE COMFORT TO " BULLS AND BEARS. Tlio Cliartiers Pool Undergoing a Test Ar Imckle's Well Doing Xobly Latest Re ports 1'roin the Butler County Guslier Notes of Operations ill Various Terri tories. The field situation, with the exception of a part of Butler county, presents encourag ing features to both the producers and the full element of the speculative trade. "West Virginia, like Lima, has for sometime been regarded as a bearish feature, but de velopments of the past year have not borne out this view of the situation. Mount Mor ris, Mannlngton, Belmont and Eureka have not cut a conspicuous figure iu rolling up production which, all told, would but little more than equal the output of Wildwood. West Virginia may be summed np as a field of great possibilities and limited probabilities; or in other words it is fittingly represented by a great desert with an occasional oasis. Char tiers, Westviow and Jack's Run have all seen their best day, while the 100-foot territory'lias apparently reached its zenith and is now on the decline. Wildwood is hanging in the balance, and only a few more days is required to tell which way the beam will turn. If the test wells now ncaring the sand arc failures the extension of any considerable territory is out of the ques tion. Just what will be the results of tbe Jefferson Oil Company's big well near Saxon burg can only be determined by tho drill, but if the past history of the pools in this section of Butler county be taken as a criterion its race, so to speak, will be quickly run. An Interesting Time Ahead. Chartiers The next few days will mark the most interesting period of tho Chartiers field since the opening up of the big wells on the Beck and Heiser farms. Two of the ad vance wells toward Chartiers should find tho sand not later than Saturday, and if they are cot paying investments It will place the seal ot condemnation upon territory In this section of the field. Tbe first of these wells due is the McKce's Rocks Oil Company's on the Younker, which nil! be closely followed by John A. Mc Kelson, the Guthno and Kennedy's on the Lauinger. The Fisher Oil Company's Stein miller mSteryis not showing up as big as it did Saturday, and adjacent territory has lost mucn oi its attractiveness, ine wen. alter its owner had secured considerable territory, was drilled in Saturday and responded at SO barrels an hour. Sunday it bad declined to 16 barrels an hour, and to-day was not maiclng 210 barrel a day. Hurlnairle, on the Huffnagle lot. is in the sand but not deep enough to find oil; from its location the venture will make a email pro ducer. Arbuckle's No. 1 was treated to a second dose of glycerine i esterday and to the surpriso of everybody interested In this part of the field responded at 30 barrels an hour, or 720 barrels a day. Tho Trimble Oil Company, on the Hurley lot, are nearly through the 100 loot and should reach the sand by the first of the week, ihe fisueruii company are build ing a rig on the Mrs. Myers larm about one quarter of a miles northeast of their Stemmil lcr well, and the Fisher Oil Company and Fred Lauinger are building another on tbe Guthrie IS-acre lot. Fred Lavingcr, on the Caughv, is drilling in tho squaw sand, while Webber t Co. will soon case on the Pobr farm.

Such statements as the following shonld cer tainly inspire absolute confidence .in Hood's Samparilla. The letter came to us entirely unsolicited, and in a frank, honest manner expresses the grateful thanks of a happy mother. "Feeling very thanktnl for Hood's Sarsapa rilla, I wish to give this unsolicited testimonial of the benefit w e have received from this creat remedy and Hood's Olive Ointment, for I feel that were it not for them I should have lost as promising a little boy as anyone conld wish to have. When he was eight months old salt rheum broke out all over uis body. Our family doctor took charge of htm till be was two ears old, and then gave bim up. I purchased two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and some of Hood's Olive Ointment and took charge of him myself. Very soon after I had given him half a bottle of Sarsaparilla I could see a difference In the child. Improvement continued as I kept on with the remedy, and now my boy is four years old and as healthy and rosy as can be. I want others to know of this great remedy, so I write this statement. I can never tell how grateful I am for my little boy whom I thought must die, but who is now so happy and robust, with not even a scar on his lair skin." Mrs. Z. T. Nash, Duxbnry, Mass.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL WENT INTO EFFECT Monday, October 6 By the operations of this law, the prices of many lines of goods, both foreign and domestic, ae(e sure to advance. Now, we are not specu lators ourselves, neither are we alarmists, and we do not ask or ex pect that our customers will specu late in such lines of goods as we carry; nor purchase such quantities as they may not require for imme diate use.1 The Policy that we have adopted is and will continue to be as follows: In anticipation of the passage of the New Tariff Bill, dur ing the summer and early fall, we have placed orders for'a somewhat larger stock of goods than was our usual custom; of course, these goods were all bought at the old prices, all of which we shall continue to sell at the old prices, not making any advance whatever in the prices of anything that we now have in our house or that is yet to come in on old orders, but it is simply business and to be expected, that when we have disposed of our present stock and have to replenish at the ad vanced cost, that the retail prices will most assuredly have to be ad vanced in accordance therewith, so that we would advise our customers to at once make purchases of such articles in our line as they will want for immediate, and use in the near future. These statements are facts and are worthy of your considera tion, and it is needless for us to say that it would be to your interest, if you are in want of anything to profit thereby. By keeping this thought before you, "all goods at the old prices until they are sold," "new goods purchased at the advanced prices, of necessity will cause ad vanced rates to the consumer," you will thus be led to take our advice.
