COMPENSATION PUZZLE.
SHOT DOWN BY
"*v i . -
A CRAZY RANCHER
THE CITY BAND.
The House of Lords yesterday delivered judgment in.a case under the
Workmen's „ Compensation Act, 1906,
namely, whether a man who lost his
life by drowning when returning to
his ship, having been ashore upon
his own business without leave, came
within the scope, of the act. • ^
An action was brought by a widow
in the Manchester County Court, and
Judge Parry found in her favor, and
awarded her £240 and costs. Upon
appeal this decision was reversed, the
court holding that the' accident did
not arise out of or' in. consequence
of the man's employment. ,
Against this decision the widow appealed to the House of. Lords! The
Lord Chancellor and Lords Ashbourne
and James were of* opinion that tlie
accidsnt was caused during the.'man's
employment, and arose out of * it,
though it did not arise in the course
of it. Lord Mersey and Lord Mac?
naghten thought the man's employment had ceased when he ^went
ashore, and .that nothing that .hap*-
pened to him while away could' "bo
said to have happened during his employment. ,
. By,a majority the house therefore
reversed the decision of the Court of
Appeal, and .restored the ' award - of
the county court judge, and ordered
the respondents to pay the appellants
costs both in that house and .below.

HALLER
Saturday evening'when the town
was crowded with people busily intent on spending some of the money
which had been' disbursed that day by
;the coal company to its employees,
a report was current that there had
been a shooting bout at Krag, a small
village on the line of the Great Northern about 20 miles south of Elko, and
upon making enquiries of the police
official's ascertained that the .rumor
was well founded but the details were
somewhat meager, and all we could
glean at that- time was that William
Palmer, manager of the Krag hotel of
which his mother, ifrs. Palmer, was
the proprietress, had' been mortally
wounded by Martin Haller, a rancher,
and lumberjack, who, after committing, \the foul deed,- succeeded in
escaping although _ followed, by Constable ,Wm. Lacey, whom he ordered
back, threatening to shoot, and as the
officer was only . armed 0 with a., revolver,'he had no.alternative" but. io
obey... The', evening train reached
Fernie with the"murdered' man, who

after receiving careful,, instructions

SIX FOR THE CHILDREN'S
HOME AT VANCOUVER
Superintendent Wilson of the Children's home at Vancouver arrived in
Fernie on Wednesday* night for the
purpose of taking six children to that
institution belonging to Mr. and Mrs.
.hinord. Quarreling and -family disturbances accompanied by parental
neglect, caused the authorities to decide that these children would bo better off as inmates of the home than
if left to the tender mercies of those
who ought to be their rightful guardians. <-
Mr. Wilson reports that the children of Mike I-Tudock, sent from Hosmer, are well' and hearty and quite
comfortable in their present surroundings. ' *

panied by his grief-stricken mother
and Dr. Saunders, of , Waldo, the
physician for that- district..'>r -1* .
This, man Haller 'we learn had bean
employed at.,the hotel and that \ after
his discharge, being of a'! morose
temperament,, had brooded over his
fancied wrongs until ..he .had ."reached
the"'stage of-.homicidial mania and
then*_et.out deliberately on his murderous mission, as he walked Into the
bar-room and lifting his rifle; a 32
special,*' tired two shots point blank
at Palmer,'both taking effect, one penetrating the upper portion of thi
lungs and the other shattering the
anterior portton of tho left shoulder,
this latter wound was no doubt Intensified by the bullet' being Bltghtly
deflected in Its course _ by • striking
the empty shotgun which Palmer had
Bnatched up.
The body was taken from the train
to the undertaking parlors' ot Mr.
William Scott, whilo the poor mother
was taken care of by Mrs, Robert
Duthie, an intimate friend, who toother home whero John, a younger son
working at the Coal Creole mines, mot
his mothor having rocolvod word of
the murdor of his brother.
Tho family is woll known In ,thls
locality, as; tho boyB worked In tho
mines at Coal Crook,-whoro tho mothor kopt a boarding hbuao prior to
taking ovor tho hotol whoro * tho
tragedy was enacted.
In addition to thoHO mombors already montlonod thero is a married
son at Ladysmlth and a married
daughter living ln tho Boundary, who
wore notlflod by.wlro and. attended
tlio funoral whicli took placo from
Christ Church on Wednesday afternoon. .
tlie ,same time screened from.Haller's
view,,' Sampson, signaled to Lacey but
the. latter with his <*'two men. were
brought .to a sudden- halt as they
reached the bushes where" Haller was
hidden he fired'a'shot at close range,
all three men'duckingj'and then crept
off; towards-..1 tlie, ."JftiUlway.'track** and
reaching the open space made a dash
for tlie cover on- the opposite side,
but in so doing he was fusilladed as
he ran although' without effect. -. Constable Gorman of tho Fernie city
force, who had, been deputized to aid
the * provincial officers, and1, Chief
Constable1 Arthur Sampson espying
the fleeing man-as he apeared.In an
open space fired; and he then received
the' bullet which wrote '■>'finis" to thc
chapter of this man's career. -. -
■ Despite the serious nature of tbo
wound, tho ball, a hard nosed one
from a Itoss rifle, entering below tho
ribs on the left side., and passing
clean through the abdomen came out
on the right side, ho managod to
reach a nearby shack although not
without making an , attempt, futile
probably becauso of the pain preventing, to roturn tho officers' fire, After
tho shack was surrounded ancl tho
building bombarded with kicks from
bohlnd without eliciting any rosporiBO
Indicative of any notico bolng taken,
a" rush was mado for tho door of the
cabin and capturo was effected as
the* desporado was -found on tho
vorandah of the dwolllng lying prostrate but porfoctly conscious with his
rlflo lying beBldo him which upon
exnmlnntion was found to contain
flovon shells, six In tho magazlno nnd
ono In tho broach. Ilo was carried
to tho tralii and convoyed undor escort
to Pernio whero ho expired on Tues
day morning shortly after 5 o'clock.
But little is-known of "this man's
antecedents as he has always been
particularly reticent, and although believed to be of German descent, it is
riot definitely known. This, is a
natural assumption because the name
is to a, certain extent corroborated by
the discovery of tatoo marks on his
right" arm. There are the figures',*
"1882" and a crown and scroll over
his name "M. Haller," ,which certainly, lends color to the supposition that
he has at some time been in the German service, either in the army or
navy, from which possibly he deserted thus partially, explaining the
reasons for his silence when the question of his early life entered into discussion.'. ' ■ -, -...*-.,- i *
After the man had been brought
aboard the train - it. was_ discovered
that Lacey was -missing, and as he
had not been seen since Haller shot
at him it was feared that some mishap might have' befallen, the Elko
constable, so Chief Constable Sampson and Coroner Bleasdell drove back
from Baynes but .were'greatly relieved to find that he was,.unhurt. It
appears he fill-into "a-Hole when .he*
was* rudely accosted by .Haller, and
lyffig^lHe«"f(^_on^~tim&7Cfep,r"out"
cautiously, and weiided his wayt, back
to Krag shortly after' the train had
pulled out.. ■ ' '" i. ,-*\'.'-'
- As Ms, usual at such'times there.are
a number of minor details of .more
or less accuracy in circulation, tilt
the report given-fi*. as'riear the correct-
version of the story as possible;
The only ■ additional information
that we have been able to-glean re
garding the past life of Haller.-Is that
10 or 12 years ago he was working
for the Duluth Ice-company in that
,clty, where he. la-bolleved to have a
brother in tho bakery and confectionery business. After leaving.Duluth
he" wont .to Spraguo, Wash., where
he was; on the police forco, but presumably under an assumed name, and
from utile latter town ho camo to

SPRINGHILL, N. S.
The,fight still continues. The mine
workers stand as firm,as ever and
are showing' splendid a example of
solidarity. The Press is sending out
lying report's in the hope of preju'dic*:
ing the public mind against them.'As
proof of'this-the soldiers tired of the
monotony had -arranged to play a
game of football'wlth the town teams,
composed * of strikers, but it was put-
off because Cowans, the manager for
the coal company, would not allow
the town team to enter their grounds.
Sir Wilfrid'visited Vancouver. Rep-,
resentatives interviewed the Premlor.
His reply was consistent with his
utterances on the floor of the Houso
of ^Commons.
Did he possess musical talent equal
to his oratorical ability he might havo

THE DISTRICT LEDGER, FERNIE, B. C, AUGUST 27, 1910.
,r> '
Issues in South
Africa's First Election
There has been a flood of oratory
this week all over the country. Th<j
Unionists have been especially busy
- in Johannesburg and, in the towns of
the Cape Province, ' Everywhere
Unionist organizations are' -being
formed, and in each case the, old
members of parliament for the district
are taking the lead and insisting on
the necessity of taking up tbe challenge which the Union Ministry has
thrown out ancl fighting tbe coming
elections on strict party lines. Far
the * most conspicuous speech,*** however, which has been made during tho
week is tbat with which Sir Percy
1 .tzpatrick ' opened bis campaign
* against General Hotlm at Pretoria
East. Sir Percy . itzpalrick is acknowledged by his most severe
critics to be a first-class candidate
in an election. His contost against
Sir Richard Solomon, when bo won
his - seat at Pretoria against very
heavy odds, was a triumph of personality,
, Fitzpatrick ana Botha.
In opening bis present campaign
against a still more formidable opponent, be showed that bo has lost none
of his skill on the platform, lie begun with a,reference to a personal
matter. Mr. Esselen, a leading
Pretoria barrister and General Botha's
chairman of committee, had alleged
that Sir Percy Fitzpatrick had told
him more than once that lie would
not. oppose General Botha. To' tnis
assertion Sir Percy gave the lie direct, fie characterized the assertion
and the idea which il embodied as
■fantastic;" and added a sentence or
two of excellent banter directed
against Mr. Esselen himself, who liad
taken the chair at General TBotha's
meeting in Pretoria East a fortnight
ago: "When his good' friend Mr.
Esselen took the chair and invoked
the name of the Deity, and showed
that by Divine guidance Het* Volk
were going to get another seat, really
he thought he must be reading things
amiss. There was his old friend ap:
' pearing again in his old capacity as
a wandering, chaperon. ,1-Ie'had found
a new,,debutante to escort. He reminded him of tlie story by Owen
Wister, 'The Virginian.' They remembered the story of the hen Emily.
-She had-,no political family of-her
own. She used to'sit upon anything
from paving stones to puppies. If she
happened to' strike a real egg it was
only by „an accident." No one who
will underrate the effect of chaff of
tbis kind at the beginning of a political speech. But the full flavor cf
the jest is lost upon those who do
not know Mr. Esselen in his genial,
ubiquitous, * and rather elephantine
self. Sir Percy, however, soon took
his audience - on to more serious issues.
The Ministry and National
_ Convention.
The gravamen of his Indictment
of the Botha ministry, with the
party complexion, was that the wh'.ilo
settlement of the National Convention had Implied, not only In Its final
form but throughout the discussions
which led up to tho settlement, tho
formation of a non-party ministry at
thn initiation of Union. Tho pason&o
of tho speech In which HiIb thesis is
developed is remarkable for its logic
and its detail. Tho conviction which
undorlles it Is unmlstaknblo, and it
hns mado an enormous Impression
throughout South Africa. Nevertheless, although Sir Percy gavo chapter
and vorse for his contention that tho
tormatlon of the Union Ministry on a
party baRls was a direct violation of
tho understanding, thnt had underlain
the wholo settlement arrlvod at by
tho National Convontlon, ho gavo
Goneral Botha personally ovory credit
for n slncoro doslro to form a non
party ndmlnlstrntlon. "Ho could not
glvo Gonornl Botha too much credit
for tho effort. It might bo bad policy,
It might bo an unconventional thing,
to crack up one's opponent, but ho
would not dotrnct from tho broad
kindly assurance, the generous disposition of tho mnn bocauso of tho
offortH he had mado ln tho past. , .
Goneral Botha was porfoctly elnccro
In those negotiations, but ho broko
down nt tho finish and changed his
mind, Ho changod his mind undor
jiroHHiiro." Tho dntormlnatlon of (Jon-
oral Hotlm to fight tho Boat nt Pretoria Kast wns tho best sign of the
oxtent lo which Gonornl Hotlm Imd
changod IiIh mind nml tho bont ovidoneo of the amount, of pressure that
Imd boon brought to honr upon hlm.
Ilut wlml wns tho Inevitable rosult of
the emitr'Ht at I'rotorln Hast?
The Pretoria Contest.
"HuppoHv," he mild, "tlmt Pretoria
lOnst were won thorn would bo mnny
otlioi'H lust on tlm mum* ground
throughout. Kimtli Africa, Nolhing
hud occurred to Himke tlio peopl-,*'**
cnnfl'loiK'i! moro Minn, that. Ho got
Lenps ul' b-tiui-H from ollvr people In
South Africa, and in those letters
there was a most unpleasant and
pathetic repetition. He had stoojd bail
for General Botha and his good intentions, he had guaranteed General
Botha's sincerity of purpose about
that fresh start of non-racialism, and
therefore he would have to go back
and give aii account to them, and be
would do so and speak perfectly freely. He got from every part of South
Africa this curious and pathetic inquiry: 'What am I to say? Every
man I meet turns to. me, and says I
told you so.' They knew an injury
bad been done, a crime had been
committeed which people ■ would be
slow to forget or to forgive. He
could hardly express himself to them.
Was he to turn round to them and
say, 'You aro right,' or what was,, he
to say to a prominent man on the
other side who had said,.'He is humbugging you,' or 'He is humbugging
us,' or what was he to say to another
.who said, 'You are not slim enough
for thom,' or to dozens or * scores of
them or to his own colleagues, whom
he had estranged and tried to the
last extreme by advocating that
cause if they should reproach him?
But they did not reproach him, they
bad treated hlm gonerously. They
understood his motives. He did not
regret what he had done. He would
do it again. It might hurt his personal vanity to be taken in. But he
would rather be taken in ten thousand time's over if he could do one
atom of good to the country." *
Position of Unionist Leaders.
That, indeed, is the most serious
part of the whole bad business. Men
who, like* Sir Percy, have been trying
their best during the last 18 months
to convince English South Africans
that their deep-seated suspicions of
the Dutch were groundless, are now
being reproached and taunted in exactly the-way whichj Sir Percy describes. But it is something at least,
to be able to feel that no blame for-
the recrudenscence of racial feeling
whicli is certain to accompany the
elections can attach to the * Unionist
leaders, who went to the farthest"
lengths of self-humiliation in their
desire to keep alive the spirit of mutual good will which made union
possible. It is the great merit vof
Sir Percy Fitzpatrick's speech that it
stated this* issue • with such' plain-
spoken dignity. , That, is the note
which has sent it ringing through the
whole of South Africa. The rest of
the speech, which was moro germane

which I have quoted are a reply to
the challenge of the Botha Ministry—
a reply whose dignity and sincerity
are acclaimed by all those who see

Botha's ■ Ministry.-—Special'. Correspondence from Cape Town to The

SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
Who said,* "It's Saturday afternoon!"
Methinks.it must be some gone coon,
Who doesn't know \what memories
spring
And how one's inmost thoughts take
wing "
Heedless of. the task iu. hand,
At the mention of that magic time
We used to quit work prompt at noon;'
You bet it was a priceless boon—-
A Saturday afternoon iii the long ago.
A quick rush home, a hasty meal,
Then with the help of a trusty, wheel
The crowded town with its clatter
" '*'° arid clang,
Traffic's rush and street cars twang
Was soon left fan-behind.
Under whirling wheels the miles soon
sped, ;
And just as quick the moments.fled
As we watched the hedge rows quietly
glide
An endless row along each sldo,-
With the white road straight between.
When limbs were tired and throats
were dry,
A welcome rest we'd surely spy,
Amid the trees—an inn so cool
Nestling bosido a shady pool,
Gray stone built with roof of thatch—
Sure now it's' liko you couldn't match
In all this continent.
In parlor dim, but spotless clean
From fresh sawdust to oaken beam
We'd gently cry, "Say, Mary, dear,
Just bring us in a quart o£ beer,
Nut brown's tbe shade we greatly
prize, ,
In pewter^pot of ample size, '*
Fresh drawn, from cask marked
-. "XX" ' - ',
"Well, here's our .very best respects."
Right through the- years with their
,- care and toil, -, -
Right, through the * years with their
ceaseless moil,,
Fresh as the hawthorne , blossom
white,
As the rich green grass in" the ,warm
sunlight; '■ * *
Clear as the stars on that summer
• "night '
When the cool moon shed her silver
light . ' .
Keen comes that memory
Of a Saturday afternoon in .the long
ago. ~ ',

tons in sight/arid it can be _mried',by
adits without sinking shafts. -.The'
mining rights' have been', purchased-
by,Mr.-Webster of the Durban -Tlnion
Coal company, but Mr. Grove," in explaining the" position said, "I inserted
a condition,, accepted by the. owriers.
that the purchasers shall be bouridHo
offer to, the British admiralty and to
the Canadian; Australian,. New Zealand, Indian, South African Unibn.,and
the Rhodesian governments a prefer;
ential free call on as much, coal, as
either, or every • government may * require for; naval purposes, at no more
than 5 .per cent above the cost of
production. Mr. Webster's financial
friends'* agreed to the reservation, so
that the navies of the ^empire may,
if tliey accept the call within the next
two years, be able to secure coal at
a small cost, which 'will not be increased under any circumstances.
"What has an inland country like
Rhodesia to do with such'a scheme?
Why, my Idea is that it may'wish to
do something to help the empire in
time of stress, and if it could not supply ships to the navy tt could contribute coal to it. When you remember "the scientists attribute a,'life' of
only somo 200 years to' the Welsh
smokeless coal fields, the value of the
Utrecht coal Holds to. the empire
scarcely needs emphasizing., Thc preliminary arrangements are being'made
to-approach tho governments concerned, and in the'1 course of a few
days Mr. Wcbster'and I hope to po
able to placo tlfe offer fully before
the British govftpment."
"THE BURGO-VASTER" COMING.

"PAY" TRIOTISM A ,.
* BLACK CHARACTER
An interesting .oversea visitor here
just now is Mr. Daniel Grove of
Natal, who has come to London to
develop an Imperial scheme of considerable value, says a London cable.
His idea put briefly,'is to secure>for
the' imperial" navy free access to' the
rich, coal fields" of Natal .at a* low
minimum cost. ; 77
"Mr. Grove, ln an interview with a
press representative.explained that he"
is a descendant of pioneers. His
great-grandfather was with Nelson at
Trafalgar, It was his grandfather
who introduced bobbin mills into
Ireland from Scotland and.his father
was foremost in the mining industry
In Bendigo, New Zealand, Mr. Grove
iirst became associated with' Natal
eight years ago, when he left London
in charge of an expedition to Central
Africa. Whilst on his way from
Naples to East Africa ho became
acquainted with Mr. Eloff, the late
President Kruger's son-iii-law, who
drew his attention to the posslblll
ties of the coal resources of Northern Natal and the Eastern Transvaal,
and thither he was Induced to go. to
study tho coal deposits. After nearly
soven years of pntlont and caroful
investigation, Grove discovered three
seams of excellent coal ln the Utrecht
district. Why should it not bo utilized
ns an empire coal field, and na a
feeder for tho Imperial,.navy? That
Is tho subjoct which Mr. Grovo Is
pursuing. Ho wants Great Britain _o
avail herself of tho flno opportunity
now afforded hor, before Germany
might do bo if sho had tho option.
The Scheme.
Embraced in 40,000 acroo of land,
tho coal field contains, according to
tho estimates of experts, 700,000,000
A leading attraction here this season will be that sparkling musical
oddity "The Burgomaster" with Gus.C.
Weinburgin'his famous original character of Peter Stuyvesant, the governor-of New Amsterdam. Mr. Wein-
burg is one of. those irresistible' fun-
makers that never fall to. keep an
audience ih good humor and laughter, and as this jolly'old Burgomaster
he is afforded so "much opportunity
that a wooden Indian would almost
have to change his features at some
of his* antics, sayings " and ' doings.
There., are three hours of solid fun,
music and song in'this bright.ancl
effervescent musical oddity which accounts , for , its tremendous .run in
New York and'Chicago. " Outside of
Mr. .Weinburg and * the supporting,
cast, the beauty chorus, vivacious
dancers, handsome stage settings aud
accessories, including the galaxy of
popular song hits, are features that
are seldom combined to such. an extent and-sowell handled in a musical
comedy. "The Burgomaster" and his
supporting small army of, fun-makers

WALLACE, Idaho,.* Aug. 21.—Safo
for the moment at least, the dreaded
* wind having died down, the people of
'Wallace are looking to tbe hills
" around them through blood-shot, heavy
'lidded eyes, watching forest fires rthat
ring tbe" city around, on every side,
. lest they, should break through and
destroy .the city; Lines of'hose are
, laid ?|long- the "west side of the city,
"where the flrei will strike first if it
comes,, and alf available fire-fighters
7 are being held ready to start work
at once.
From Mullan up the canyon re-.
fugees bring word that fires have
7 almost reached the buildings and that
"the,water supply may,be cut off at
-any time. In every direction the .sky
* is red with flames and arising wind
would bring them bere.
The list of'fatalities willrun high,
* just how high no one will know for a
-day or two. There are parties of
f ire-fighters . scattered through the
. woods, everywhere, and it is regarded as a certainty that a great num-
r ber of men must have been cut off
by the flames. It is said that not
■less than 50 have'perished. .
Fatalities.

Thrilling Struggle In Tunnel.
In-a'tunnel of the old War Eagle
mine on Placer crook, sovon milos
fron. Wallace, 41 men under Forest
Ranger Pulaski -wore packed tightly
together to escapo a.sheet of flame
that swept down lho gulch, They
hugged tha ground and burled their
faces ln the mud on tho,, floor of tho
tunnel until tho flro was by, whon,
half mad from tho heat thoy ran and
throw themselves Into tho crook. Flvo
they left doad In tho tunnel'nnd another, " cut. off from the crow, was
found burned to a clndor.
"I don't soo how wo evov got out
of that tunnel allvo," said Charlos
Hickman 'of, Loods* S.p„ ono of tho
survivors, "Evon tho Vlonos wero so
hot nftor the flro hnd gone by that
wo could not touch thom nnd hnd to
wnllow In tho'wator of tho crook.
When wo woro drlvon,lnto tho tunnel
t soaked my cont nnd vost nnd wrnp-
pod thom around my bond, keeping
my face In tho mud nnd wator as
mueh as I could without nufforlng.
Whon I got up to go out I wnB nearly

I think ho must have boon klllod. Wo

Between Walls of Fire.
Ills faco completely swathed In
bnndnges, with a plpo protruding
through tho only nporturo, Charlos
Ryan ot Chicago, a member of Forest
Ranger James Donaldson's crow, seven
milos from Mullan, told of tho trap.
Dins ul hit, *_-u<£ htriwim two wuVu

chance to escape. One mombor of this
crew Is dead at Mullan and 16 aro
In the hospltsl at Wallace badly
burned.
"Wo woro backfiring about a milo
from Stevens peak," ho said, "and
woro ovei taken by a fire In our roar.
Running from this we found the wind
changed and woro met, by another
flro, tho two biases trapping us,
Thero was no chanco to run so we
just stayed and took It as best wo
could, Not a mnn In the gang got
oft without some burns."
In the temporary lull afforded today Wallace residents found time to
compare not-tv of the Saturday night
blase, ln only a few cues were
household goods saved, the . wind
amounting to a hurricane and giving
tho flro trriflc Impetus, Wagons of
every sort were in demand but the"
drivers ventured cautiously' through
the streets, which were full of flying
brands, falling signs and timbers.
There were wild scenes at'the railroad stations when the few departing
trains pulled in. Men fought with
women, and children for places in'the
coaches and windows and doors were
broken down in the mad rush for
safety. A woman who.had secured a
seat suddenly remembered* that .she
had left her valuables in her burning
home and had to be restrained by
force,from jumping through a window.
Another woman brought an enormous
bird cage inhabited by a.parrot. This
was taken from her somewhat forcibly
by' refugees who had held their own
baggage down to bare necessities.
From the smoke and flames in the
residence section on the hill emerged
a begrimed man who bore triumphantly a pair of rubber collars, all
he had saved, and rushed for the
train." |
Negro Troops Heroes.
The negro soldiers of the Twenty-
fifth infantry,- assigned to protect the
south side of town, fought valiantly
and managed-to hold their own, while
the fire department, with its one hose
cart "and chemical wagon, combined
with citizen volunteers -to , save the
business houses. Mayor Hanson did
heroic work in directing the operations and like scores of others did
not close his eyes all night. There'
were reports during the afternoon
that" several houses had been entered
and robbed during' the panic of the
first night, but the police" failed to
verify this. ■ 7 ....

The boundaries of last night's con*-
flngration comprise "an area roughly
estimated at six blocks north to south
and 10 blocks - west', to. east, narrowing toward the east. The estimated
losses are approximately $1,000,000.
The scene of the fire was the mecca
today for thousands of visitors, not-
only residents who-fled last night and
returned to visit the .wreck of residences of business^ properties, but
citizens of Kellog, Wardner, Mullan,
.Burke and-other canyon towns, who
,flocked in on special trains and made
sightseeing trips among tho ashes and
embers, -, r '
While many citizens roturned to
•their homes and many who havo no
homes are again ln tho city, trains
tomorrow morning will tako out many
families, who will leave the district
to stay till danger Is past, which will
not be sooner than a heavy rainfall
which puts out tho flro, for a heavy
wind carries firebrands mile and drops

-AUGUSTA, Ga.^ Aup-. 14— The action of Governor Brown when he sent
troops into Walker' county ,011 May
26 at the request of a corporation, official* and forcibly and unlawfully deported • men' awho had committed no
crime and were'given no hearing, is
stirring up a storm that is likely to
prove very unpleasant for the governor and for Colonel J. W. English,
president ■ of the Lookout Mountain
Coal and Coke* company, who asked
for the troops.
The Italian government is now moving in the matter, arid It is said that
heavy indemnities will fall on the
company and the governor.
The mine where the outrage, was
perpetrated was formerly operated by
convict labor. Tliey* were so heartlessly treated that .tiie Indignation In
the state was so great that the,convict lease system was abolished.*
Italians were hired in gangs on the
Chinese coolie labor system.
The company entered ,into -a contract with a gang of men to work for
five years, and.under a penalty never
to dig less.than 5,000 tons a month.
The system of payment on the >10th of
of each month was to'com pel .trade at
the company's store. The company
was exempted from all liability in all
cases of injury* to the workers: , -
On the 10th of "the second month
after beginning work they were to
have been paid $40 each, but the
money was paid in a lump to their
leader. This man betrayed the laborers and ran away with the money.
The workers were in despair and demanded that the company pay them
the money due and refused to work
until the money was paid.
Colonel English.decided to get rid
of the men and telephoned to the governor for troops, and bis demand was
immediately complied with. The men
were all corralled into, a car by the
soldiers witn'out making the least resistance. - They-'were unarmed and
frightened by ...the soldiers and the
threats of.,.unknown, things that the
employers-held over them if they refused to stay away from the mining
district,of the company.

" GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES AND INANITIES.
In our youth wo were acquainted with an elderly
gentleman whose one anecdote after the table had been
cleared,'the pipes brought from their inner recesses of
case and pockot and lighted, was as follows:
A missionary on his way to a foreign station thought
that in order to prevent himself growing rusty decided
to try to convert the sailors of tho ship one day accosted an old salt off duty when the following dialogue
took place. „ * °
Minister—My good man "have you ever considered
that as your occupation is so perilous how important it
is that you ought to think of your possible fate and be
prepared?
, Sailor—No sir, I've not given the subject much
thought.
Minister.—But when you're ashore do you not attend
some church?
Sailor.-—I cannot say that 1 do for what little time I
have I spend with my mates in having a good time.
Minister.—Really, this is serious. Do you not give
any thought to religious matters? Can you even recite
the Lord's Prayer? ,
Sailor.—Every man to his trade parson, yours is
preaching and mine is sailing, but come now to show
you, you say the Lord's Prayer and I will box the compass. ' r ,*■•'-_. - '. -"
This was agreed .upon, the minister' saying' the
Lord's,Prayer and'the sailor singing out tho points of
the ' compass once around and when completed asked
the minister' to repeat the Lord's Prayer backwards,* but
as this he was not able to do Jack says, well here's
where I beat you and then called off all the points in
reverse order, and when concluded repeated his. phrase
"every man to his trade." -*-,-.
* This story has* Its parallel in the officers of the"Gov-
ernment service who seem to be able."to box the compass" either backwards or forwards from any.-cardinal
point" wlth~*~every - shbw of - earnestness and^'sincerlty,

In tho hopo nlns for him and bis colleagues a dream llko
a bubble that has burst, that it* might be effective in
thwarting the growth of the red specter which so permeates the dominion of Kaiser Wilhelm that he is practically at his wits end what course to pursue. Despite
these evidences, actuated doubtless by the belief in
Barmim's statement that "a sucker is' born every minute," the experiment is advocated for Canada. <
The address referred to should be in-the hands.of
every one resident in this country and carefully read
and digested as it contains much food , for serious
thought, especially to those laboring under the delusion
that machinery introduced merely replaces one set of
men by an equal number who will be occupieds in the
manufacture - of the machinery the following extract
should convince them of their error: \ '
Page 11.—"I need hardly remind you that the prob
lem of what shall be done for. the aged employe. * * *
It.has become an urgent one in the modern business
world, owing to the universal demand now-a-days for
young men. For that reason, and also because the
average period of employment has become shortened
by a more general use of machinery and the strain from
industrial activity, men are forced to retire at an earlier
age than was the case some years ago,' and the position
is intensified by the fact that with improved habits of
living and improved sanitary conditions tbe average
duration of life is being lengthened so that the period
of dependence is increasing rather ■ than diminishing.'!
What a gloomy prospect for the' future these dilettanti
make-shift manufacturers offer. The best remedy suggested is merely one that has proven Its Inadequacy.
Dr. Osier was at least more courageous even though
regarded as cruel when be practically advocated the
lethal chamber for worn out workers and if the ravages
and blight of commercialism were to continue in perpetuity his plan would certainly be more kind but with
the awakening of the proletariat, slow though it may. be
i o
to the real cause of* their woes and an enlightenment as to
the application of how the remedy can be effected all
these piffling palliatives will be cast into the oblivion
xi
of the used-to-be; the creation of surplus value-.by the
exploitation of their labor power whereby capital is produced so, that their enslavement may continue will cease
forever and the junk of the bourgeoisie old "age pensions,
annuities, profit sharing skin games becomes jestam. in
the ocean of history. . -,-*•>
' As a* further corroboration of the simile.of the "box
the compass". story let us analyze the extract from
the Toronto Globe of June Ilth, under the caption of
"Thrift as a National Asset." ■ . *_*.-'.
- • "The Globe prints this- morning the text of a remarkable address delivered before the Employers' association
of Toronto' last night by Mr. S. P. Bastedo, Superintendent of,*Government Annuities. The address'should be
read by every good Canadian, and.carefully considered."

that made it one of the most exciting witnessed this year and the contagion caught the, spectators as, they

\ Tne mirie was" idle ori Monday
through gas. The fan was stopped on
Sunday with the consequence lhet"i!ie
mine was full of gas ori Monday
morning. The officials seem very
lax when ever a large body of gas
is found -after the fan has been
stopped for a day. • They allowed the
miners, drivers, etc., to go in.as far
as.27-switch. Here the.miners were
told to remain while the day shift
fireboss made another examination,
but they told the drivers'and. motor-
men to go inside' as if nothirig unusual had occurred. We heard on
authority that, the gas was thick in
the entry as far back as 105 chute;
/This appears-to be a rather dangerous proceeding in view of.the feet
that a large number of the coal
buckers are ignorant of the,dangers
attaching to gas. These fellows, have
been known to go up two and three
crosscuts of a room that was full -of
gas, and after losing light have attempted to light their lamps. It's
terrible to think what would happen
if such a large, body of gas became
ignited by some cause, with nearly
300 *irien in the mine. We maintain
and rightly, that when such conditions.appear again that nobody should
be allowed to "enter the inine. except
the officials, until such time as the
ventilation becoiries normal. The
nearest outlet to the 'surface, from
the,face of the entry is about 2,200
feet. „ _
--, The football-club traveled to Coleman on Saturday last when a rather
riolsy game, resulted,-in a win for us
by 2 goals to 0. The game was stopped 14 minutes from, time by the
referee,'Mr. Wright of Michel; on account of darkness preventing him
from following the game. The Cole-,
man players say that they" are going
to protest -against' us on-.the. ground
that, we didn't turn, up.-at the ;specified time for'kicking off, viz. 6:15.'
This was.' impossible as supper -was
not * ready when we" arrived, neither
were we told where* to strip for the
match. Also some* of the*. Coleman
players stripped ,at 'the same time
as 'our boys.- * About* three or 'four
iriinutes after the kick-off a regret-
able affair occurred.'. Two of the
Bellevue.'supporters, were on the
Coleman goal line when a- ball came
"up-pretty""'fast_fronf""one~of~tlie~Cole;"

to do 'so, as' ll, went a good six inches

back .into play..- The linesman called
a corner as also did the two, above
mentioned. •' This inade the* fullback
^riad,* and' after a few "wo'i(asr'bet-#eeri
tnen^ho deliberately called''the Bellevue'.'fnah a liar. He*, was .promptly
"t'oid::tha't h'o7 could'.'not' maW^hinl'a

iind 'said "he* could, and sultlrig^the
action to. the Word he came off' the
field of playapd rushed for thp spectator.'-1 One," of tho Bellevue'players
now camo on th'o'scene and said that
if there was' anything of that klria
going on to .include'him.. However,
it' died down, Thore must always be
a difference. of opinion between two
clubs, when anything appears doubtful, but thero was'no necessity, for
the Coleman fullback to'.use tho expression hP did. .Thoro'was u, groat

On Saturday last It looked as though
this camp'was going to be wiped off
tho map. Fire was raging all along
the mountain ridge when suddenly
the wind seemed to change and coming from all quarters at once like a
hawk swooping down, soon filled the
lower valley with .blinding smoke,
and then there was a hurrying and
scurrying on all sides. Somo of our
residents with the memory of the
Fernie fire strong in their minds a'nd
benefitting by the experiences of the
past, commenced digging holes in the
rear of their dwellings in order to
put some of the belongings out of
danger, while others got busy fighting desperately to prevent lhe whole
camp being wiped out. After the
fight* was over, and it was certainly
a hard one while it lasted, it was
found that, no material damage had
been done except, of course, thc standing timber had been" severely scorched
and then there * were some dishes
broken by those who had tried the
burying method. At one "ilir.e the
flames did just touch the tipple, yet
the timely efforts of the " workers
managed to extinguish them before
they had made much headway.

We have been boasting of this

found, that ho was suffering from

Electricity
Mining
and Coal
Different kinds of Electrical Equipment and the Conditions Adapted
Development of Electricity as Applied to Coal Mining Complexing
' i , By F. C. Albrecht.
The subject of "Electricity and Coal
Mining" has been discussed so much
of late that it might possibly be considered threadbare were it not for its
, vast importance. Instead of becoming
threadbare, however, the contrary is
true. The indications are that this
subject will become a more and more
absorbing topic for some time to come.
With development and growth, this
will naturally be the case. Especially
is this true at present in view of
the pending legislation in several of
the coal-producing states. What the
various state legislatures and also our
' national government will do, in tho
future, will "be awaited with Jceun interest by all mine owners, managers,
■ superintendents, and everybody else
Inierestecfin.the coal mining and electrical industries.
The two industries,' electrical and
mining, aro very closely related to
each other. This Is not only true of
coal mining, but iUso of the mining
bf all other-- mineral products. The
largo gold, silver, copper, lead and
■ other mines are all being electrically
operated. The coal mining and electrical industries are, however, more
closely* related to each other than
any of the others. *' For is it not true
that, to a ■ certain extent, we have
here what we may call (by taking
some liberties perliaps( a form of
perpetual' motion? Or, to describe
same as perpetual energy would be
better. By this I mean that we use
coal, which is stored energy, to put
under our boilers, which, through the
medium of steam fed to the engine
and the engine in turn driving the
generator furnishes electricity. Then,
this electricity fed to the electric
locomotive 'is the medium of getting
out more coal, some of which, finds
its way tb the boiler again, so tint
similarly to the qucsiion regarding
the chicken and the egg, one might
well ask, who started the ame anyway?,
To that question, about the only
answer that we can give Is that the
mule started, the trouble.' And right
here 1 wish to say "that full credit
should be given to the mule, and all
animal haulage in general, for wbat
they have accomplished in connection
with coal mining.
* I believe I can say without fear of
successful contradiction, that with the
exception of some special cases, including the opening of new mines,
that the day's of animal haulage in
coal mining will before long be a
thing of the past. All coal* mines
of any considerable output today are
operated by mechanical haulage, this
in the majority of instances being
electrically driven. Electricity has,
in short, become indispensable\to tho
coal mining Industry. It Is a part of
coal mining and it will remain-so.
It is horo to slay, nand more power
to it!'
Electricity is practically independent, of distance. The question of distance has been one of tho most deciding factors In favor of electricity.
Electric current can be transmitted
any distance, 'it simply being a case
of selecting a voltage proportional
to the length of transmission.' There
Is no other form of energy that is
transmitted so efficiently nnd conveniently as electrical. In thoso days
where, In mnny cases, tho "workings
nro a mile or more Inside, tho operator Indeed would havo a hnrd prob-
lom to solvo, to got his coal out on
n competitive ,ba8ls, wero It not for
electricity. Electric underground
traction has onsily surpassed all othor
mot hods of power hauling.
Tlio development, of" electricity ns
applied to coal mining has boon a
, vory Interostlng one to tho mnnu.ao
turor of electrlcnl apparatus. It has
presented some moro or loss com-
'pW problmns, Uio solving of which
Iiiih proven vory Interostlng. Accordingly, It In now very upparent Unit

themselves thoroughly with mining
conditions and requirements. They
must study the coal mining business.
This is necessarily the case, as there
are continually being presented to the
manufacturer new, inquiries asking if
some new mining contrivance can be
arranged to operate electrically. This
has therefore developed not only the
special salesman for mining work,
but naturally this development has
gone on further' along the line, producing in turn the designing depart-
n.out the designing *>nginper w.o
miikcr*. o specialty of equipments ior
mining work. Likewise, there is the
mining department in the shop as
regards the manufacturing end. Coal
mining has therefore produced* what
can either bo called the "electrical
mining engineer" or the "mining
electrical engineer." Perhaps the
latter would • be the better application. Now then, what has been the
result of all this? Simply the result
tliat the electrical equipments of our
up-to-date mines are second to none.
The last four or five years have
seen remarkable strides In the application of electricity. The coal cutting
machine is no longer an experiment.
A-' practical electrically driven drill
has been devised. Also a puncher,
wliich can be operated either by direct
or by alternating, current, has been
manufactured* and' is now operating
on a commercial basis in both alternating current and direct current
plants, giving very satisfactory results. , ,v
Fans which; the mine owners were
originally afraid to drive by electricity are now replacing the, steam-
driven kind with their long and uneconomical and expensive, steam lines.
The electrically driven tipple-, machinery is a great advance in economy over the old engine driven kind.
The electrically driven pump in wet
mines is an enormous saving over
the old compressed-air pump. For the
sprinkling system 'which is now being used, motors are required. Boxcar loaders electrically driven are becoming more and more in favor also
coke drawing machines and larries
electrically operated. We can say
that practically the, entire operation
is electrically controlled, and a brief
discussion of some of the many electrical systems and equipments may
therefore be in order.'
As nowadays mines are brought in
more or less close contract with each
-otheri-eithe*. through _he-combinatlons-
oi several small companies or on account of the growth of any one company, the powerhouse of today is
rapidly resolving itself into' an alternating current proposition, being the
central source of power for the
various mines, " »
Alternating current, at is introduction in the commercial fields of lighting nnd power, presented many new
problems to tho electrical engineer.
Many engineers predlcted'nll sorts of
troubles and difficulties; but while at
first, and naturally so, thore did develop some obstacles, theso have now
been motsly overcome, with tho result
that tlio,, polyphase ' system, which
means olther a two-phase or a throo-
phase system, of alternating curront
transmission, with its adaptability to
largo units and long distances, haB
proven Itsolf „a commercial success
in ovory respect.'
In tho powerhouse wo hnvo tho
most. Improved , types of hollers and
stokers nnd holiorliouso equipment in
gonornl, Noxt, thore aro tho engine-
driven, direct-connected, alternating
current generators, or bottor yet, tur-

turbine there has boen porfoelod ono
of the greatest improvements of tho
ago, both from tho standpoint' of tho
•manufacturer nind tho opornlor, The
rapid growth iu tho manufacture nnd
salo of turbines speaks for Itsolf.
Stonm turbines ns'prima movers hnvo
long slnco passed tho oxporlmontnl
stngo. Thoy are' bolng usod In all
Industries, nnd tho mining Industry
Ih now beginning to clnlm Its Hlinro.
Tho tui'hlno can bo opnrnlod both non-

Among tho principal advantages of
a contral powor station, thoro Is tho
groat saving In copper and nlso tho
maintenance of u good and steady
working voltage, especially whoro the
workings nro located consldornhlo dis-
tancna front tho powerhouse, Tbo saving In copper In many Instances more
than balances the entire cost of the
sub-station during the lifo of the
equipment
The nf *t -M-sp la the transmission of
power. If alternating current be mod
tho main powcrhouso generally furnishes current at approximately 2,400
or' 6,'6 00 volts, although 3,300, 13,000,
and* other ,voltages are used. This
current, being -, for power service,
should be a 25-cycle, 3,000 alternations, polyphase circuit, preferably
three phase. .The current is then
transmitted from the powerhouse to
substations, where it is first transformed to a lower voltage by means
of lowering transformers and then, by
a rotary converter or a motor-generator set, is transformed from alternating into direct current. The substation equipment will comprise also
a switchboard, protective apparatus,
and other details similar to ' powerhouse equipment, but not oh so large
a scale.
Tho lowering transformers are generally arranged, to transform from
2,400 to 6,600 volt high tension to"ap-'
proximately, 440 volts low * tension.
The low voltage alternating current
circuit Is, through, the rotary panel of
the switchboard, used on the alternating current side of the rotary' converter, whicli gives off on the direct
current side from 550 to 600 volts.
The approximate ratio of the alternating current to ,the,,direct current
voltage is about 7:10. In other words,
the alternating current voltage is approximately ,7 that of the direct current. Similarly, If the alternating
current voltage on the rotary converter is approximately 160 volts, then
the direct current voltage will be
around 250 to 275 volts.
If the motor generator sets are used
instead of rotary converters, the balance of the equipment is about the
same. * At, times though, lowering
transformers are dispensed with. This
is in cases where ' the alternating-
current transmission line is not too
high. Then it is proper to have a
2,200-volt or 3,300-volt or even a 6,600-
volt. alternating current motor, direct
connected to a 660 or 275 or 250-volt
direct current generator. "Generally
speaking though, lt is considered advisable to put in lowering transformers, even with motor generating sets,
as that makes it safer for the operator. A further advantage is that the
lowering transformers act as additional protective ' apparatus—having
the high tension and low tension sides
separated. This arrangement also has
the additional feature that taps "may
be taken*, from the transformers to
operate independent^ alternating current circuits.
While discussing substation equipment, It is well to note the ease arid
low-cost—of-j-moving—and—handling-
these equipments, as* compared with
boilers, engines, and generators. Substation equipments require no special
foundations and no anchoring. The
floor space required, is considerably
less than an engine and generator
unit. The substation equipment requires practically no attention and Is
almost automatic, easily adjusting itself to the' various loads and conditions.
' Having transformed' the curront
from the alternating current to tho
direct current this current must bo,
transmitted Into tho mine for the
locomotives, motor-driven pumps, cutting machines. By this means the
operations are Independent of e.i-.h
othei, f.no not bain*-.-; affected by the
load fluctuations of tho other. . The
substation therefore foods both kinds
of current simultaneously to tho samo
mlno.
A well-known engineer connected
with ono of the largo coal mining
companies of Wost Virginia has vory
adequately summod up tho advantages
of a central power station nnd Its
sub-stations for mines as follow-***:
Minimum outlay for copper. Main-
tonnnco of good working voltage.
Flexibility in mining operations. Bettor conditions in rail bonding, Ex-
pfciislvo foundations aro not roqulrod
at sub-stations. Wator and fuel nre
not roqulred nt sub-sjatlons, Adaptability for lighting nt remoto places
together with local lighting. Formlts
tho uso of hlgh-voltngo, nltornntlng-
current motors, Reduces numbor of
station oihployos nnd consoquontly nf-
focts tho lalior oxponso, Low cost
for oil nnd wnsto, Capacity may bo
Iosh thnn combined cnpaclllos of ;i
number of small dlroct current stations,
In lho mine there Is tho olcctrlc
locomotlvo or "olootrlc mulo" as It Is
sometimes known, This olcctrlc mulo
Is subject to exactly tho same kicks
and nhtiHo that tho original mlno mule
wiih Htilijoclod to, hut. nftor tho day's
work Is done (Ioob not, roqttlro nny
oats and hay, In ordor to bo roady
for the noxt dny's work, but wllh
vory little Inspoctlon or enro, Is
"right ou the job" again tho nuxt
morning.
Thoro are throo classes of el no trie
mlno locomotives: first, tho regular
liniilngo locomotlvo, gonornlly of from
8 to 20-ton capacity. Thoro nro, of
course, locomotlvos of ovor 20-ton
capacity, bnt genornliy a bettor practice whore conditions will permit, Is
lo hnve two 10-ton or two 13-ton
or oven two Ifi-lon locomotives, which
onn bn nnernlnd either sennrntolv or
tandem. Too hoavy a locomotlvo
moans it very heavy Iron for the
track, and It Is ofton unwieldy and
Inefficient.
In tho second plnee, with a gathering locomotlvo'of tlio reel typo, tha
InroTTiOtlvo trooa Into tlio room, Milln
out tlio "lends" and pushes bank In
tho -"empties." Tho reels are furnished
with either single or double wlro,
depending-upon tho locnl conditions
In the mlno,
Tbo gathorlng locomotlvo known at
the "traction reel" or "crab type"
does not go Into the room at all, but
it wire cable of from three-eighths
of au Inch to flvo-elghtha ot an inch
thick and about COO feet long, U
easily pulled Into the room and fi*-
timed to the loaded car, which la
then pulled out by means of a separate
motor wllh Ita equipment of -controller, resistances, hoso and wire and
other dctalli
Both of the gathering types of
locomotives are now being built so
as to use one of the main hauling
motors of the ■ locomotive for gather--
ingialso'. "This is performed by having a .clutch arrangement . which,
.throws-the reel or crab so,as to
operate"with one- of the hauling
motors.-- The clutches are independently controlled -and therefore the
operator can-"drive the locomotive
cAnly, if. desired!' or the reel or'crab
only, or he; can drive both the "reel
and locomotive together at once and
the same time." A foot-brake is also
applied to,, the reel-drum shaft so that
a,car being hauled'by the wire rope
can be held on the grade if desired.
Both forms of,gathering' locomotives
are also being built* with further
modifications, and are equally adaptable. . /."
A.s regards the cost of operating
with electric haulage, it is obviously
difficult to give exact figures which
will apply in all cases,, biit it has
already been pointed out that electrical haulage is cheaper than animal
haulage. Tho life bf the locomotive
in the first place is longer than that
o'f the mule, there'being locomotives
today in actual service, which were
installed 10 or 12 years ago. -Against
this, two or three years is the average* life of a mule. The lengths ot
the haul and speeds required are also
very much in favor of,the locomotive.
Tho electric locomotive does not
run up a 'larh_. feed bill- It is not
shocked and consequently hurt oy
coming in' contact with wires, but on
the contrary, rather likes it and gets
its "nourishment", in that''way. ' The
locomotive does not require anywhere near the "attention that the
mule does. In fact, in a good many
mines, the locomotive is given practically no attention whatsoever, until
something breaks down. "Then of
course, everybody from the management" down_ gives it the very closest
attention and wonders what in the
world is wrong. The writer ,would
wish that 'the. locomotives, were inspected and overhauled oftener than
they are. '*__ a general rule, if ever
a piece of machinery is abused, it is
the electric mine locomotive. As long
as,a locomotive will move, car,after
car, is added to the trip, until something has tofgive way.
The relative costs of mule and electric haulage have been" tried out, and
the growth of electric haulage speaks
for itself. . I, have been unable to
find any cases where electric haulage
has been used and then again abandoned, unless it was where very
gaseous mines, developed. -
A word next as to the operation of
fans for ventilation." Tbe motors used
here must be perfectly reliable, as on
the successful operation of these, depend the lives and efficiency of men
inside of the,mine. Good air and a
proper supply of It is required, and
the fan is therefore depended upon
to furnish this. In connection with
-the-e!ectrlc&!!v— driven-.fan _I_was.ii-e—
cently told by a prominent mine manager* tbat only once in the last five
years has he had to call his men
out of the mine on-account of trouble
from this source.
The form* of drive for fans, tliat Is,
whether the fan3 should be geared or
belted, or chain driven, should be carefully studied In each Instance. ^ In
somo cases the one form of drive
gives the best result; ln another Instance, another form of drive Is preferable. Whero there Is a great
fluctuation In1 voltage," cither a belted
or chain drivo Is desirable. If floor
space is an item, then between theso
two the chain drive is tho proper ono.
If the voltage Is constant and good
regulation secured, then a geared fan
Is proper. Coupled fans cnn also be
seriously considered and these are In
actual oporation. Variations In spwd
can bo obtained by either variable-
speed motors or, in tho, caso of bolted
*muchlnoB, different pulley combination can bo- usod.
Electric hoists are operated l.y
olthor direct or alternating curront
mot oiB. Thoro aro also the electrically drivon cutters and punchers
previously referred to. Thoro aro also
motors for pumps. It would bo difficult to keep track of tho great* number of motors .from ono horsepowor
up to even 800 horsepower capacity
that are, day In and day out, working
away, connected to pumps' of every
doficrlptlon,
Hlootrlclty, in addition to bolng used
ns a source of powor, Is nlso used
for lighting, noi only tho mlnos, tho
offlcos, and various othor - buildings
about tho mlnos, but tho same current Is often UBod for lighting tho
towns locatod "nonr tho^ mines, and In
this way Is ofton "an additional
source of rovonuo.
As far as tho altornatlng-curront
voltago In tho mlno Itsolf, thoro has
boon and still is considerable discussion, Many nro of tho opinion thnt
tlio voltngo should not oxeood 27fi or
300 volts. On tho other hand, nnd
llioro aro Just ns mnny if not moro,
who consider RGO to 000 volts not
oxcoHslvo. Cortnlnly thoro Is no getting nwny rtonv tho fact thnt with
tho higher voltngo thero'Is n great
saving In copper, and also that In
most cases a bottor working voltngo
will be maintained. Looking at tho
qiiemioii from tho standpoint of
safety, It Is truo tho high voltago Ib
moro likely lo kill a mnn than tho
lowor, IJut tho point Is to keep away
from tho wlro, Especially In high
conl this should easily bo nrrangod.
Tn -mnny hint-won,-thr* trollov wlro
can ho placed from flvo to nevon
ruot above the rail and Bhould always
bo placed from four to eight Inches
to (he outside of tho rail. With ordinary precaution this should bo entirely safo,
W?.'c.'*n the fsul !i lw ft ™ifbt fi***
bo conslderod proper, to put In the
lower voltage, although It li by no
moans conslderod absolutely noces-
wry-
It hns boon pointed out at various
times by some operators that they
ronnldor thn higher voltage safer than
the lowor. Their argument Is tbat
with the lower voltage, tho men got
familiar and careless. On the other
hand, they have considerable respect
for the higher voltago and are more
careful ond have lesa nccldonts.
The writer doea not mean to con-
f.f»d„ though, that wny Ironclad rate
nr law ahmiM any that the operator
muat use either the higher or lower
voltage, Thin would be entlroly wrong

and arbitrary., There are arguments
In favor of both, but I would contend
that, in each instance, a careful inspection should be made and careful
consideration" given to each Individual
case. Local conditions will largely
determine what voltage should be installed. And furthermore, I would
submit, that no matter whether 250,
275 or 550 volts, or whatever voltage
is used, the wire should be bare, uninsulated wire.' Insulated wires in a
mine' are treacherous. The insulation will not last hi a mine more
than six months, or a year at most.
It deteriorates rapidly and becomes
a menace instead of an additional
safeguard. The wire should be bare
ane.everyone operating In the mines
given to understand tliis. in order
that proper precaution and care - be
taken. '" " ' -''"".-."
A system of wiring that^meets with
much favor where conditions will permit is the "three-wire system." By
this means 550 volts can be taken
from the generator' or rotary con-;
verter and divided in half, using two
circuits of 275 volts each. The three-
wire system wasoriginally Introduced
in order that a saving in copper might
be obtained.' Tlie system has become
in general use for both lighting and
■power—distribution;—It—permits-df— a
saving of 25 per cent in copper in
the feeder, when figured on" a-basis
of current capacity; or- a saying of
621/*. per cent when figured on a basis
of drop potential, when the neutral
wire is considered1 as'equal in size to
one of the-outside wires. i
In'the primary installations of,the
three-wire system It was necessary to
use two generators. connected' In
series, having the neutral wire joined
to tho common connection. Of course,
this necessitated having two generators in service at all times,' regardless of whether there was a large or
small load. However, "necessity Is
tho mother of Invention," nnd as a
result a throe-wire generator was do-,
signed .which would* give tho samo
service ns tho original schemo of
having two two-wire machines In service. Another result of the three-wire
generator wns an Increased offlcloncy,
Ono generator had but one sot of
losses to overcomo while two generators had two sets. Again one large
generator hnd a better efficiency than
either of,, tho' two smaller ones.
Tho throo-wlro direct current generator is vory similar In appoaranco
to tho two-wlro direct curront gen-,
orator, except that It nlso hns collector rings, somowhnt like a rotary
converter, but In tlio caso of tlio
three-wlro gonorntor, lt has Its collector rings on the snmo side ns Its
commutator, In ^addition thoro aro
furnished auxiliary npparatuB known
as bnlnnclng colls, Throe-wiro generators mny bo operated In parallel
with each othor, or In- parallel w'th
two-wlro gonornlors If roqulrod, For
Instance ,a throo-wlro 550-volt gonorntor may bo oporntod In parnllol
with two 275-volt gonorntors In sorlos,
This throo-wlro system does not
confine Itsolf to gonorntors nlono, but
cnn nlso bo usod In connection with
rotary convortors In sub-stations, thus
falling right In line with nltornntlng
curront trnnsmlsslnn. Ily monns of
tho throo-wlro systom, -lt Is possible
to uso tho lilghor voltngo, thnt Is, r>r>0
volts, for tho locomotlvo, considering
tho truck ns tho neutral and return.
This system, ns can onsily bo noon,
is nt. Its best wlioit tlio load Is ovon-
ly divided botwoon two operations, It
Is posslblo, howovor, to oporato whon
thoro Is ns much ns 2fi per cont tin-
balanced load, Obviously though, this
system ennnot bo used In nil' cases,
It Is not a "euro all" for all ovlls,
but oxnetly llko nil othor systems, hns
Its own spoclnl applications nnd conditions,
Whilo, ns sfntod, dlfforont conditions In different, plncos will require
tbo spoclnl study ot tho local conditions, aud villi lu thai way dttaruiltio
which systom should bo Installed, still
doe* It not soom advisable that thoro
should ba somo wolldoflnod and established rules governing the installation of plootrlrnl on«lpmi»nt In mlnnH?
In other words, standardize. It Is woll
known, that In order to get the best
results out of any business, stand-
nrdUalion and system are necenary,
Without certain rules, regulation, and
system, the highest efficiency cannot
be obtained. Therefore, tbo aoonor
mining and electrical men get together and adopt a system of standards mutually agreeable and understood, the better it will be and much
will be accomplished.
I nm glad to aay that seme steps
In this direction hate already been

V roce 1900, kdyz nemohly urady
tralisation et-la production etant.in-
suffisamment developpes, le mode de
production et de repartition ne' pou:
vant etre. transforme du jour au len-
demain par simple decret, il en re-
sulterait une -dangereuse survivance
des ehoses'du passe. Or, on imagine
mal un Etat socialiste' adoptant un
mode de production'et de repartition
capitaliste! La revolution prenia-
turee aurait pour consequence l'insta-
bilite du nouvel-etat de ehoses ou la
substitution d'un pouvoir politique, a
un autre..
Dans la conception socialiste, ces
dangers sont ecartes, la revolution
tant la convulsion derniere, la fin
normale d'iine*evolution qui aura e'e
d'autant plus courte que le proletariat
aura ete -plus conscient de ses droits,
de ses devoirs et de sa valeur.
Pour que la revolution devieune possible, il est necessalre que le systeme
de production capitaliste ait atteint un
haul degre de developpemeut et que
les conditions economiques permettent
la transformation des, moyens de production de la propriete capitaliste eu
propriete sociale. * * ,
C'est grace a la ■ realisation de ces"
deuk conditions: developpemeut eco-
nomique eU puissance consciente in
proletariat, que ce Iui ci sera en
mesure 'de conquerir le pouvoir et de
Ie detruire definitivement en tant que
pouvoir politique.'
Or, ces deux conditions se realisent
tous les jours davantage, par suite du
develloppement du systeme de production capitaliste,' Les confllts entre le
capital et le travail se font plus frequents, marquant chaque fois un pas
en avant dans Vinevltable et irresls:
tible lutte de classe qui en resulte.
Cette lutte de classes et ce de-
veloppemcnt capitaliste ne sont pas
plus le fait d'une volente quelcon'que,
que la reaction finale'qui en resultera,
c'est, a dire la revolution .proletarlenne.
C'est la une necessalre et inevitable
phase de revolution • sotiale.
Le role du ; parti socialiste dans
cette, evolution est d'instruire,
d'edUquei- le proletariat et de Iui four-
nir des armes pour la lutte finale
de la conquete du pouvoir politique, et
son emancipation,
. C'est, sur cetto conception que repose tout le 'socialisme7international
de notre temps.
' En definitive, si revolution du
milieu economique -ictuel aboutit
fatalemont a la disparition, de la
propriete* strictement individuelle, ce
ne sera que par " suite de *. l'action
revolutionnaire,* do la classe, -pro-
duclrice ' et non proprietaire qu'elle
entrera dans sa periode socialiste.

BRIEF BITS FROM BRITAIN-
THE MINER.
The old prospector finds the claim, ,
The surveyor'ho marks, the same,
And the carpenter builds the gallows
frame,
"And the teamster hauls the coal.
The foreman tells 'em the way to do,
The engineer hoists a cage or two,
But listen to this I'm a-telling you—
It's the miner that digs tbo hole!
Colonel—another bowl! <
I'm'dry as a roasted sou!;»
I've had to choko
On powder smoke, ,, -.
My teetli are full of the rock I've
' broke, „
For I am one poor son-of-a-gun,
A miner who digs the hole!
When the Lord first planted the copper ore, •
He said: "I'll pack it away in store
Where nobody'll get it out no more, -
Unless he's, a human mole"
"•-Jul he recokned without the miner
man,'' ' •
Who isn't built on the regular plan,
And so, since the the,blooming earth
began, ,
The miner he-.digs the hole!
Colonel—another bowl!
Mj; tongue is black as coal;
And my ears still sound
With that fall of ground
, That nearly caught me the second
round;
For I'm classed with the boys who
blast—'
The miners, who dig the hole.
He must'work In. the gas and see in
the dark, "-.■'* = • • •
The music,,he hears is the air-drills
■ bark; . ' ■■*. ■
It isn't" no "picnic in the park,"
It isn't nb cinch he's stole,
He's carpenter, plumber,'-] machinist—
.'yes,';'..'- .■"_'-.'
A sort of surveyor, too," I guess;
A little of everything more or less,
The miner who digs the hole1. -\
Over 13,000' pounds has been subscribed to the Anti-Suffragette agitation association. " * - ;
Letchworth, a town of 7,000 inhabitants with numerous factories,
holds the mortality record with a rate
of 31.7 per 1,000 infants born and
the ordinary death rate per 1,000 is
5.2. London's percentage in' the former class is 107.9 and 14.0 in the latter. Birmingham, Manchester and
Liverpool have even higher percentages than London, thereby very suggestive of the terrible waste of life
in great cities.-'
Open-air schools are meeting with
great favor in several cities.
Winston Churchill is advocating
some sweeping prison reforms. Conceits for criminals, payment of fines
by installments, instead of committing a man to gaol because of his inability to pay a fine in spot cash.
