MINE, MILL AM) RA1LK0AD.
The legal proceedings In connection
with the reorganization of the lVnn
Bjivanlu Steel company ore proceeding
rapidly and the expectation Is the prop
erty will be sold out eurly In January.
The new securities provided for under
the plan of reorganization will not be
Issued for several months at lerwarus,
as the RUbserlptions to the new pre
ferred stock are payable In installments.
In the fiscal year that ended with Aug
ust, which was the worst year the com
pany has ever known, the net earnliiKS
were sufllelent to pay all the fixed
charges, Including Interest on the new
preferred stock. The lowest estimate
that Is put on the value of the preferred
stock is SO. will cli at the present market
price of the old assented clock would
make the new common stock stand at
$u6. The book value of the stock, ap
praising the ussets at a low valuation,
is $1K a share. With the steady im
provement In the volume of business
Rnd in profits In the iron trade, and the
termination of un expensive receiver
ship, It is thought that the company
will be able to make a large amount of
money the present year. While a Rood
deal of the stock of this company is now
held speculatively, there lias been con
siderable investment buying lately by
good judges of Iron properties.
It Is stated that Collin P. Hunting
don, of the Southern Pacific, has pur
chased 6,000 tons of steel rails for use
on his Pacific coast roads. It was pre
dicted during the tariff discussion that
the bill would give this trade to Eng
land, hut Democratic newspapers de
nied It. Mr. Huntingdon, It is said,
saves nn infinitesimal sum and Ameri
can labor loses n quite important one
by this operation. The new tariff 1)111
is not working thoroughly, but already
the wool, iron, tin plate, lend, lumber,
glass and other leading Industries have
been seriously disturbed by- the arrival
of foreign goods.
The Raihvny Age, In an elaborate ar
ticle on the wages of railway employes,
discovers some curious facts. It la
found that ilfteen leading railways
operating more than one-fourth of the
mileage of this country and employing
one-fourth of the men In the railway
service, pays in salaries of over $5,009
the sum of $l,20j,liil per annum, and n
total amount for all salaries of $10",
SSS.fiiil. The total number of employed
is 170,G"7 and the average salary is
S;G32.19. If the large salaries were wiped
out and the entire amount divided with
all the employes each man's pay would
be increased S7.0G per year, or li! cenfs
per week. These companies earned $8,
841.0GS In dividends, and if this sum hud
been applied to an Increase of employes'
salaries each man would have got an
increase of $1 per week. In other words,
if the owners of the railroads gave
every cent of their profits to the em
ployes the latter's salaries would be in
creased about 15 cents per day.
The Philadelphia Record thinks it
would be "impossible to find In any
other section of the United States a
record of greater number of wrecks or
failures of strong concerns engaged in
the Iron Industry thnn are to be found
in the territory within fifty or 100 miles
of Philadelphia. In Berks and Schuyl
kill counties recent years have wlt
, nessed the abandoning of nineteen blast
furnaces, while over twenty stacks In
Montgomery, Lancaster, Lehigh, Leb
anon. and Carbon counties have either
been torn down and their machinery
sold for scrap, or stand today idle. Th o
failures during the past year of strong
and pronounced concerns in the eastern
section are still fresh In the memory of
persons interested In the lndusirh-l
growth of this territory. The suspen
sion of the Pennsylvania and Maryland
Steel companies, with their eight bla:t
furnaces and extensive mills; of Robert
H. Coleman, the operator of five fur
naces in Lebanon and Lehigh counties;
WIlllum'M. Kaufman & Co., the owners
of the Sheridan furnaces, in Berks coun
ty; the Crane Iron company, nnd the
Coplay Iron company, In Lehigh county-;
the Pottstown,; Montgomery and Nor
ristown companies in Montgomery
county; the Reading Rolling Mill com
pany, in Ilerkscounty, and many others,
exhibit to what extent the iron indus
tries of eastern Pennsylvania are at the
mercy of the south and west, which are
supplied with the essential materials to
the expansion of a great Industry."
Coke production and output In the
Connellsvllle region have taken an upward-
tendency again after dropping
biy'k a few tons each week for the past
nionth, last week's record showing
'gains of 3,000 tons in production nnd
265. cars in output. Considering that
the Iron trade Is In such an unsettled
condition, It is surprising the demand
there la for coke. For the Inst six weeks
shipments hav averaged ,over 1,000
cars a day. About a month ago there
was a little -slump caused by overpro
duction and the firing up of too many
ovens. There was a tendency to force
the demand for coke, but just as soon
as the operators found that the policy
would not work they changed their
plans and allowed the buyers to regu
late their snles according to their own
idens. The price of coke will undergo
no changes now until the first of the
year, when the new contracts arc made,
and It is hard to predict with any de
gree of accuracy how much of a change
will be made then, If any. The next
two months will likely bring some new
features In the matter.
The detailed report of thei operation
and output of 'the region for the week
ending on Saturday, Oct. 27, shows 1 1,
554 active and 3,220 idle ovens, with a
total estimated production of 141,826
tons. Compared with the production
of the previous week, this was an In
crease of 2,816 tons. Tn the active list
ovens there was a net gain of thirty
one. The shipments for the week ag
gregated 7,482 cars, consigned as fol
llws; To Pittsburg and river tipples,
2,264 cars; to points west of Pittsburg,
3,811 cars; to polnU east of Connells
vllle, 1,407 cars. Compared with the
shipments of the previous week this
was a decrease of 2G6 cars. The circu
lar prices of coke are as follows: Fur
nace coke, $1; foundry coke, $l.li;
crushed coke, $1.40; all per ton of 2,000
pounds on board cars at oyens.
Ground will be broken at New Ken
sington, Pa., this week for the founda
tion, of a tin plate plant, which, when
completed, will, it is said, be the largest
tin plate works in the United States.
The projectors of the hew enterprise
are the' tlrm of Goldsmith, Lowenberg
& Co., extensive manufacturers of tin
ware, of Portland, Ore., and New York
city. When completed, It Is said, the
works will have cost over $300,000.
Hundreds of men will be employed.-
The shipments of rails, bridge and
electric railway work and other finished
material from the Pennsylvania Steel
"orks during October Were the largest
the year. Large contracts for rails
tor Maine railways and the Philadel
Commercial.
phia and Baltimore Traction companies
were rilled. The works have also built
bridges for Philadelphia and Washing
ton. October's output of rails 27,000
tons was the largest month's tonnage
the rail mill has made In four years.
During the week of Oct. 1-7 over 4,000
tons were made, and on several days
almost 700 tons were rolled. On Satur
day $73,000 were paid out In wages to
about 3,700 men. The prospects for No
vember favor steady work In nearly all
branches.
In New York city,, and, for that mat
ter, in all the Atlantic tidewater trade,
the Engineering and Mining Journal
finds that dealers, both large and
small, are well supplied with coals.
The movement of coal during the past
week has slacked oft', and since dealers
are not gelling much they are buying
little or none. It is only justice to the
producers to sny that in all probability
they have been, nnd ure,. selling more
coal than they can mine, although the
figures for last week show that a little
more than 1,000,000 tons was mined dur
ing the week ending last Saturday. The
reason for this anomaly for It Is nothing-
less when one considers .the fact
that everybody la supposed to be work
ing on full time is that there has been
a marked shortage'of cars. At this time
of the year cars nre scattered all over
the country. Anthracite producers find
it Impossible at the present time to get
the transportation facilities which they
enjoyed last June when the great soft
coal strike was at Its height, and bi
tuminous coal cars were brought Into
service to make possible the record
breaking anthracite tonnage of Juno,
1S9-1. The tonnage for November will
not be as great as last June's. At least
it looks that way now, and producers
ought to rejoice that such Is the case.
We find a truly remarkable unanimity
among the sales agents In the declara
tion that no new business has been
done at the new .prices. .The fact that
the new rates have not obtained Is not
strange, but that the agents freely con
fess It most certainly is. Everywhere
we are told that prices nre firmer.
They may be firmer but they are not
higher. It will have to be an excep
tionally severe winter if the expecta
tions of the sales agents are to be real
ized so fur as getting the new prices is
concerned.
Theabnndonedmlnc recently pumped
by the Cross Creek Coal company is
being placed in working condition. The
coal will lie taken through No. 4 slope,
Reaver Meadow, for a while at least,
when It Is anticipated a trestle will be
constructed over the Valley tracks, and
the mineral taken directly to the
breaker. A tunnel Is being driven now
from No. 4 to connect with the slope in
question.- A track is to be constructed
on the slope and preparations to put an
engine In position are being made.
The officials of the Lehigh and Wllkcs
Rurre Coal company find it necessary
to make some Improvements on the
Honey Brook No. 5 colliery. A large
addition was built to the breaker about
a month ago that lias the effect of al
most doubling its capnclty. There Is,
however, an obstacle in the way and
It la manifesting Itself vividly, for a
large amount of coal has been con
demned during the past few weeks.
This obstacle can only be remedied by
placingapump at the colliery to furnish
water to wash the coal, us it is dlfilcult
to separate the good from the bad when
the mineral is run through the screen
without being washed. Acting upon
practical judgment, says, the Hazleton
Standard, the ollleials have had an old
Jeanesville pump repaired at the Au
denrled machine shops- during the past
two weeks and are now placing It in
position for work.
Jacob Williams, who for a number of
years hns been employed as a coal ship
per by A. Pardee Co., since the change
hns occurred, has been promoted to the
position of boss of the coal shippers at
Cranberry and Crystal Ridge. A large
olllce will be erected at once.
The Crops Creek Coal company, hav
ing pumped No. 3 slope, found It to be a
remunerative Investment, hence the de
ceslon to pump the "Temperance" and
"Greenfield" old slopes. These works
were abandoned a quarter of a century
ago, und the maps since that time have
been destroyed, making It Impossible to
work a piece of coal In Coleraine No. 2
colliery. Such places can be worked
profitably because of the revised code
of mining laws and the thorough re
searches practiced at the present time.
C. M. Dodson & Co., who operate the
Morea colliery, nre availing themselves
of every possible effort to obtain a
larger supply of coal at that colliery.
They have within the past two weeks
awarded a contract for the sinking of
a shaft to the basin of the deposit In
view of cutting the deepest seams nnd
developing them for production. The
shaft Is now nbout fifty feet In depth and
Is being driven through the hardest
kind of rock. It Is thought thnt at least
four hundred feet will hnve to be pleresd
before the desired deposit Is reached. A
shaft was opened some time since In the
mine nnd after being driven less than
fifty feet It had to be abandoned on
account of a surplus of wutur.

James Faulkner recently moved to Lo
cust Grove from Railway. Two montlr-

u load of produce to market. On his
way the wheels came off his wngon.
Somebody had removed the nuts from
th.-! axles. Two weeks ago his barn was
entered and the horse feed was dumped
in a manure heap. He took to watch

tect his enemy, and depredations con
tinned day nnd night. This morning the
climax was reached when one of the
hired men discovered paris green In the
swll! barrel. A cow wbb also taken
sick tills morning with symptoms of
poisoning.
Faulkner nnd his family are terror-

SEEKS REVENGE ON GERMANY.
Secretary Morton I'rgcs Retaliation
Against M ines and Malt Liquor.
By the United Press.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 6. Secretary
Morton, of the department of agricul
ture, has decided to suggest to the presi
dent that the- United States retaliate
against-Germany for her prohibition
of the Importation of American Cattle
und fresh meats, by laying an embargo
on German wines nnd malt liquors.
The secretary has become so disgusted
with the Interference with our export
meat trade by petty requirements as to
inspection that he has been making a
special study of existing laws to see
whether retaliation is not possible.
The law of Aug. 3, 1S!)0, providing for
the Inspection of meats Intended for
export, Includes a provision against the
Importation of adulterated articles of
food or drink. Section 4 says: "That
whenever the president Is satisfied that
there Is good reason to believe that any
Importation is being made, or is about
to be made, Into the United States from
any foreign country of any article used
for human food or drink that Is adul
terated to an extent dangerous to the
health or welfare of the people of the
United States, he may Issue his procla
mation, suspending the Importation."
"Under this authority the president
may If he sees fit," says Secretary Mor
ton, "lay nn Indefinite embargo on both
German and French wines, on the
ground of their frequent ndulteration,
of which we have abundant proof. Such
a course would bring the countries con
cerned to their senses very quickly, fur
It Is needless for me to fay that the
value of the Importations of German
and French wines and liquors are very
many times the value of our cattle and
meat exports to Continental Europe."
AN INFAMOUS BAND.
The Strunglersof I.cs Chevaliers d' Amour
Murder a Seeond Gill.
By tho United Press.
Denver, Col., Nov. C In the most
depraved thoroughfare In this country
Market street, Denver two foul mur
ders have recently been committed by
stranglers who are undoubtedly mem
hers of an Infamous society known as
Les Chevaliers d'Amour. This body
was organized nnd has been maintained
to Import from Frunco or Canada
young girls, wno are neiu in ainricei
street In the worst slavery. The mo
ment any of the madames who have
charge of any of these houses fall to
pay the requisite extortionate black
mail for "protection," the society makes
life such a burden to them that even
the real protection of the police is una
vailing.
Following very closely upon the re
cent murder of Lena, -Tapper rby a
strnngler In Market street, Mario Con
tassot was similarly slain, nt No. WLTi
a week ago. Tony Banners, wno uvea
with her, found her chloroformed In the
parlor at 2.S0 a. m., with finger marks
upon her throat like those upon Lena
Tapper's. Charles Challoup, a lover of
Eugenie, the sister of Marie, and n
member of the Chevaliers, Is known to
have made and Invested $25,000 out of
the two sisters' ill-gotten gains. Marie
had refused to return with him nnd
lOugenio to Paris. He and Eugenie will
be held for Marie's murder.
A NATURAL JAG CURE.
liemarkahlo Properties of Spring Water
Pound la n Michigun Mine,
By tho United Tress.
Ishpemlng, Mich., Nov. 0. A report
comes from the Hopes gold mine here
that nt the bottom level spring has
been struck which r.upplies a strong
stream of highly collored water, being
nearly as yellow as gold and plainly
holding considerable of that precious
material In Its solution. It Is very
palatable and ice cold. Several of tho
men working In that level have been In
the habit of freely drinking this water
and It was noticed that as they drank
the desire for alchoholic stimulants died
within them.
Some of the men hnd been heavy
drinkers of beer and whisky, but since
the use of this water they hnd no wish
for any stimulants. Their health and
physical condition Is generally Improved
and It Is thought that the water Is
vertlble and natural "Gold Cure," not
only for the liquor habit, but for general
diseases of all kinds. There Is some
talk of erecting a huge hospital at the
mine and using the waters as a cure-all.
