NEWS OF OUR INDUSTRIES.
S.ijs the Philadelphia Ledger: The
anthiaclte coal tuule was In tho first
half of this year, In the opinion of
those best informed on the subject, bet
ter managed and tho output of coal
and pi Ices better regulated than In any
previous period In the history of that
Impoitant industiy. The second six
months of 1S07 piomlses even better
results than those of the flist half of
the enr. Owing to tho radical curtail
ment of the production of coal since the
beginning of the year the stability of
pi ires has been well malntnlned, and
consequently the net profits to the min
ing and carrying companies have on
an average .been larger even with the
l educed tonnage mined, which was
about 2,800,000 tons less than was sent
to market in the corresponding period
of 1S96 nnd -1,600,1)00 tons less than
was pioduced In the Hist half of 1S9'.
Not only has ull of the IC.000,000 tons
mined since January 1 been practically
sold but the surplus accumulation of
stock coal at tho tidewater shipping
points and the Hastem and Western
distributing ports has also been drawn
upon to make up the deficiency be
tween the actual market requirements
and the new tonuago produced. After
Intimations that the prices for nnthra
cite would be advanced on the lirst of
June, which was not done, the close
appio.ich to July 1 without any otll
cial announcement that new circulars
showing an Inctease would be issued,
led the trade to believe that it was
only the old and deceptive scare cry of
wolf: wolf! and that no advance would
be made until August. Then the de
mand for cargoes of anthracite began
to fall off; dealers ceased urging the
eaily delivery of coal alieady ordered
and theie were symptoms of a weak
ening of pi Ices. Just nt this critical
time came last week the notice of an
Increase of 15a25 cents per ton In prices
to both the line and city trade, to take
effect at once, and then began the
scurry to renew old and place new or
ders for coal before the July quota
tions could be put Into effect. The re
sult has been that now all of the min
ing nnd carrying companies have book
ed or renewed sufficient orders for
coal to absorb their whole output for
this month, and the confidence In the
ability of the managers of the several
larger companies to keep the tiade well
In hand has been re-established. The
dealers generally In all parts of tho
countiy are carrying very light stocks
of co.U, and consequently fiom now
until the end of the year there Is like
ly tf be considerable activity In the
movement of anthracite and with
strengthening prices. The lowest esti
mates aie that at least 24.000,000 tons
additional newly mined coal will be
lequired to supply the demand of con
sumers between now and December 31.
Fire on Saturday night nbout mid
night destioyed the old Union or Mill
Creek bleaker of the Delaware and
Hudson Conl company at Mill Creek
and It Is believed to have been of In
eendlaiy origin. Tho breaker was
abandoned about five years ago, and
part of It had been torn down The
bleaker, says the Wllkes-Uarre Rec
ord, was one of the first erected In
this valley, having been built by the
old Union Coal company, about thirty
jears ago. Subsequently it passed Into
the hands of the Delaware and Hudson
and was operated by that company
until the mine was worked out. In its
day the breaker was one of the most
piofltable owned by the company. The
machinery was up-to-date and the
slope from which the coal was hoisted
was one of the longest In the coal. re
gions. A huge pair of llrst motion en
gines hauled the coal to the suiface
In trips of eight cars each and in some
places the time made was at the rate
of twenty miles an hour. The mine was
considered at the time to be as well
ventilated and as safe as nny In tho
anthiaclte regions. Tho greatest acci
dent ever occurring there happened
on a Sunday, about eighteen years ago,
when five men, who had gone Into tho
mine to get out their tools before an
expected fall of roof occurred, set fire
to a body of gas and were Instantly
killed. Theie was very little machin
ery in the breaker, most of It having
been removed to other places. In an
engine house near by were, however,
two sets of new boilers, which were
badly damaged, and this constitutes
about the principal Item of loss.
o
The work of re-opening the gang
ways and airways und restoring the
ventilating system Is progressing slow
ly at the South Wllkes-Baire mine
ot the Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre Coal
company The work Is dangeious be
cause the workings contain large bodies
of explosive gases. It Is more than
probable, In tho opinion of the Anthia
clte association circulation, that If the
upcast at this mine was In one shaft
nnd the downcast In the other, it would
not have been necessary to flood the
mine to extinguish the flres caused by
the explosions of Oct. 29 last, and tho
subsequent days. The first explosion
tore about four hundred feet of the

brattice, separating the upcast from
tho downcast, making a short circuit
for the air, and cutting the ventilation
oft from tho workings of the mine.
The result was that the whole work
ings filled with gases which Ignited
fiom feeders left burning by the first
explosion. If one of the shafts was
wholly as an upcast, and the other for
the downcast, no explosion could de
stroy the whole ventilating system at
once, as the air currents would have
to traverse from the bottom of one
shaft to the other, nnd an explosion
In nn upper seam could not cause
much damago to tho workings of a
lower scam.
o
About a mile southeast of Nantlcoke,
a stream of mine gas, Issuing from a
bore hole, has been burning for over
two years, making a flame about six
feet long. The hole Is eight Inches in
diameter and goes from the surface into
the workings of the Lee seam of the
No. 1 shafe of the Susquehanna Coal
company. A pipe wns set to lead the
gas about twenty foot above the sur
face, nnd from this the flame Is burn
ing. The ventilating pressure of the
mine, equal to eight pounds per square
foot. Is acting against It, but the hole
being nine hundred feet In depth, and
the gas one-half the weight of air,
makes a column so light that It comes
to the surface, in spite of the down
ward piessure produced by the mine
ventilator.
o
The Ilazleton Boiler company Is erect
ing one of Its latest designs of steel
Jacketed boilers, with a combination
furnace for waste heat and direct fir
ing, at the "William A" breaker of the
Connell Coal company The boiler is
of 250 horse-power capacity and Is con
nected by Hues with nine cylinder boil
ers, forty feet In length und thirty
four Inches In diameter. The waste
heat from the latter Is utilized, and,
by a system of dampers can be cut off
and the Ilazleton boiler fired with coal.
The boiler Is seventy feet seven Inches
from foundation to top of stack, and it
Is expected that this height will give
sufficient draught to largely decrease
the amount of steam required for the
blowers of the cylinder boilers. A simi
lar boiler to utilize waste heat was
erected at the Doi ranee colliery of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company.
o
G. B. Markle & Company are at pres

the surface water, before going Into
extensive stripping on the Dbervale
basin. At present there Is one shovel
in operation on the stripping, in the
near future the second shovel will be
put on, and with the completion of the
canal, the four shovels will operate on
the stripping, with an average of
twenty-five men to a shovel. This com
pany has successfully tapped the water
from the Old Pink colliery.

The Susquehanna ,Coal company Is

Bareey B&rmiao aed
His CunrioMS Way,
Stores of the Late Diamond King How Me
Became a millionaire--His Dealings with
Cecil Rhodes.
The London correspondent gives sev
eral Interesting recollections of Harney
Barnato, whose dramatic suicide the
other day terminated a career full of
dramatic features. He writes:
In the first place, "Barney Barnato"
was not his true or original name. He
was Barnett Isaacs, the son of humble
Hebrew parents In tho Whltochapel
district of London, until he went to
South Africa to make his fortune in
1873. In a curious page of autobiog
raphy Issued a few weeks ago, Barhey
thus described "how he became a mil
lionaire:" "It Is Just twenty-three years ago
since I, considered then a good-looking
boy, landed at Cape Town after a tedi
ous Journey of twenty-seven and a half
days, the greater part of which time I
had spent building castles In the air,
and dreaming of the possibilities ot the
new world which I was approaching.
Pull of hope and confidence, I walked
to the Masonic Hotel, and on the ver
anda was met by a gentleman, whose
name I will ask you to allow me to
withhold, but who, as I afterward
learned, held the position of president
of the Diamond Diggings. I was
startled by the brilliancy of his shirt
front, on which there balzed three enor
mous diamond studs, ono only of which
would have made Pony Moore shed
tears. Ab these only formed part of his
Jewelled adornments, I thought he
must be a walking diamond mine. He
spoke to me very kindly, though with
rather a patronizing air, asking nie my
name and destination. I told him my
name was Barney Barnato, and that I
was going up to the diamond fields to
Join my brother, and, as I hoped, to
make my fortune. A look of sympathy,
almost of pltv, suffused his face, as,
placing his hand In a fatherly manner
on my shoulder, he said:
" 'Go home again, my boy, for I have
cleared that country of all the gems It
contained,' and, looking nt the spark
ling brilliants which shone out from
every possible part of him, I was al
most convinced that his statement was
true. I was too proud to let the tears
of disappointment fall, and stood won
dering what would be said to me if I
returned home to admit I had been on
a wild goose chase; this was sufficient
to make" me adhere to my original In
tention, whatever the result might be,
so I determined to go and book my
seat on the coach which was leaving
the next morning, lest anything else
should occur to make me waver.
"This year twenty-three years after
my Interview with him I met in the
market square at Johannesburg this
same gentleman, who had cleared the
country of all the gems It contained,
and on my reminding him of the inci
dent he asked:
" 'How did you discover the Dp Beers
diamond mines and become a life gov
ernor of the company?'
"I replied, 'By not taking your ad
vice to go home again.' "
" BARNATO AND RHODE3.
Tho most Interesting current Inci
dents about Barnato deal with his en
counters with his great rival in the
diamond field, Cecil Rhodes. Tho latter
Is, of course, the greater man In ev
ery sense of the word, but Barnato
was usually able to take care of him
self even in competition with the Em
pire Builder of South Africa. Several
years ago the firm of Barnato Broth
ers, which Barnato had established,
was a very large customer of De Beers
for rough diamonds, and a very good
story Is told how the "Colossus of the
Cape" outwitted his brother diamond
merchant De Beers, as the story goes,
had 220,000 carats of diamonds to sell,
and Barney Barnato made Mr. Rhodes
an offer for the whole quantity In
one lot. Mr. Rhodes considered for a
moment, and then replied that Bar
nato Brothers could have the diamonds
on their own terms on one condition.
"What Is your condition?"
"That you let me see a sight no hu
man eye ever saw yet,"
"What's that?" inquired the puzzled
Barney,
"Why," said Mr. Rhodes, "a bucket
ful of diamonds In a heap."
"Done," exclaimed Barney, delighted
to have the deal on his own terms. So
the diamonds were poured all together
Into a bucket, and the two "kings of
diamonds" gloated for a while over
the sight. Then the gems wero turned.
out in a glittering heap and were
photographed. Mr. Rhode's profit came,
it Is said, during the six weeks fol
lowing, when he had absolute command
of the diamond market, while the
bucketful of diamonds were being re
sorted Into their 160 different classifi
cations. A DEAL. IN DIAMONDS.
The story of the final consummation
of the deal for the consolidation of the
Kimberley and the De Beers diamond
mines Is not new, but it will bear le
telllng: "It was the evening of a day nearly
ten years ago when three men who
held the chief Interest in tho diamond
mines at Kimberley sat down together
to arrange the terms of the projected
amalgamation. The three were Cecil
Rhodes, Alfred Belt, and B. I. Barnato
of the Kimberley mine. Each ono had
a concession he required from the oth
ers, but the requirements of the first
two are of no public Interest. The con
cession Mr. Rhodes required was en
tirely different. It was this:
" 'I was the power to go to tho north
to carry out the expansion there, and
I think the company might assist me In
the work. I believe everything they
give will be returned; but even If It
were lost, it is a very fair case for tho
doctrine of iansom.' In other words,
Mr. Rhodet Insisted on getting the pow
er to use the profits of tho De Beers
mine for the acquisition ot the unoc
cupied regions of the north,
"Mr. Belt said little, but supported
Mr. Rhodes; but the notion of using
the diamond mines to create nn empire
did not recommend Itself as good busi
ness to Mr. Barnato, even when It was
backed by Mr. Rhodes. Mr. Barnato
was amused at this proposal and ar
gued against it for a long time. But Mr.
Rhodes was determined to have his
way, and insisted on their agreeing to
his condition, as he had agreed to
theirs. Ho sat there with them all
night and till 4 o'clock In the morning.
At last tho other two gave way, Mr.
Barnato observing:
" 'Some people have a fancy for this
thing, somo for that thing, but you
have a fancy for making an empire.
Well, I suppose wo must give it to
you.' '
"A fao simile of the check for up
wurd of five and a half millions paid
by the Do Beers company as tho pur
chase price of tho assets of the princi
Sc
pal owners of tho Kimberley mine Is
still sold In Kimberley as a photo
graphic curiosity."
DARNATO'S CHARACTERISTICS.
A candid friend has summed up Bar
nato'B characteristics very fairly In the
following estimate: "With a good deal
that was vulgar, bizarre, and outre,
Mr. Barnett Isaacs Barnato had also
very likable qualities. He was the bou!
of good nature, bright to bolsterous
ness, the most easily approached of
men. Ho believed In taking broad
views, and did so when men who are
mere money spinners would take nar
row ones. Then he was so open-handed.
His readiness for giving 'free calls'
has become a kind of proverb. There
are always lots of people to tease suc
cessful men with their parasitical at
tentionsneedy scribblers who pretend
to be 'Journalists,' touts, people who
think they havo done the millionaire a
good turn, and so on. Somo men choke
these people off by deputy. Barney did
not choke them off when he could rec
ognize nnythlng like a claim. I have
heard tales of his accompanying Infor
mation for print with a 'free call' for
a few of the shares to he Influenced by
tho publication, the call to be made on
a certain future date. This meant that
on the fixed date the happy 'Journalist'
had tho right to 'call' for the shares at
the fixed price, or, If they had gone up
In price In the meantime which they
probably had done to receive a check
for the difference between the fixed
price and the market price That's how
It's done. No doubt some of these tales
were true. It Is cetlaln that 'the beau
tiful bountiful Barnle' as a poctnster
once called him, gave away many a
'free call' and many a 'tip' which was
far more valuable, to people In a far
grander social uosltlon than are the
hangers-on of financial and other 'or
gans.' Perhaps such a policy paid well
by extending the financier's reputation
In various and devious ways.
"Recklessness, too, of the gambler's
kind may have Had something to do
with his admitted success. But a cer
tain kind of genius was also requisite.
There were deeper strains in Barney
than m'any were able to detect. With
such a man there Is much persiflage
much that sterns debonair, and that
misleads the casual beholder; In the
recesfes of his own wlndowless mind
the successful financier keeps a deadly
grip on his essentials to, grip that
never relaxes. One of Barney's many
biographers once quoted some of his
subject's homely s-aylngs, which struck
me as very characteristic. For exam
ple, Barney wasnn accomplished boxer,
and was fond of drawing similes from
the noble art of self-defense. Said he.
'Never let o, man put his hand on you
without giving him "what for." and al
ways have the first hit." He frequently
acted on this principle, as some friends
have the mlstortune to remember.
His opponents found him a Heathen
Chinee fcr ways that aie daTk and
tricks that ate vain and vexing. With
al he could be fair and above-board
You have no right,' said he, 'to spoil
another man's game as long ns he plays
It cleverly; he will expose himself soon
enough when he ceases to be clever
at It.' Another of his Sam Slick-like
observations, combining shrewdness
of a very worldly kind with a knowl
edge pf human nature, wns: 'Never
play a game above people's heads. Let
them think they understand it but
keep a bit in hand every time.' "
