MINING JOURNAL. FROSTBURO, MD., SEPT. 10, 1882 Volume XII, The Journal enters its twelfth jeer with this issue. It might tafely ask either friends or enemies to trace a wrinkle upon its brow or pluck a gray hair from its exuberant locks. Its future may not be fairly judged by the past, for it expects to improve with age and become mors and more independent CORRESPONDENCE A Promising Country. Liberal, Barton Co., Mo., i i Sept 7th, 1883. j To the Minino Journal : I suppose a letter from this part of the country would be interesting to j a great many readers of your paper. I left Eokhart on the 20th of April j last; landed here on the 22d, and I have so far had no cause to regret my , choice of location. This town is on the Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad, j 24 miles south-east of Fort Scott. It has about 400 population and the town is only two years old. There is a good prospect of its becoming a large town as it is situated on a good line of Railroad in a very productive and healthy country, underlaid with a vein of coal 2} feet thick. The land is Rolling Praire and very rich. I have refrained from writing a letter to the Journal for fear that if I wrote when I first landed here that what I then thought of the place might turn out to be false, but to my surprise everything has turned out better than I expected. Since I came here several of the citi zens of the town (I among them) formed a brick company to experi ment in brick-making, and we suc ceeded in making fifty thousand brick of a first-class quality. There is also an abundance of fine grey sand-stone here, and a very fair quality of water can be had by sinking wells from 20 to 30 feet deep. Land can be bought at from $7 to S3O per acre according to location. Dry goods and groceries are cheaper here than in Frostburg. Country produce, such as apples, potatoes, eggs, butter, etc., is cheap and plentiful, and a live energetic man can always find work at some thing. What this country wants is good energetic men to come and settle and build up, and it would be the best part of this country. Wild flowers bloom here the whole summer till late in fall. At least since I have been here as soon as one variety dies another appears in its place. Thou sands of acres of grass will die and and go to waste for the want of stock to eat it. So much for this country. Now don’t lot any of the readers of the Journal run away with the idea that all that a man in the east has to do is to get here and he can then beat some one out of a living. That is a mistake. There are plenty of that stamp everywhere, here as well as any pkce else. Unless a man has money or is willing to put his hand to anything, he need not steer this way expecting to get a “soft snap.” John Betz MISCELLA NEO VS ITEMS. People unless you are register you cannot vote. Pennsylvania is said to employ 2,700 locomotive engines, or a thou sand more than all New England, and 15 per cent, of the total number in the United States. Comfortably Fixed.—V anderbilt has money enough to give every man, woman and child in the United States $2 and then have enough loft to board a week in a New York hotel. Bayard Taylor had a droll habit of making verbs. One day conversa tion turned upon who was noted for his miserly habits. "Don’t you think him very penurious?” asked a friend. "Well,” replied Taylor, "he pennies a good deal." Work of tue Pension Office.— The following statement: gives a sum mary of the business of the pension office for the past year, as prepared fir and reported to the Secretary of the Interior: During the fiscal year ended June 30, 40,939 original claims for pen sions and 34,148 claims for increase of pensions ware filed, making the total number of claims filed 75,087. There were allowed during the year 27,004 original applications, and 10,231 for increase of pensions re ceived favorable action. The total number of claims rejected including the claims for increase of pensions, was 21,295, making the to tal disposed of 59,190. There remain pending 269,678 or iginal applications and 21,288 appli cations for increase of pension. These figures, however, do not include 75,268 claim which moon (he rejected files at the otfiec. Tue total amount paid for pensions during the year, including the cost of disbursement, was $54,296,280,64. The total number of pensions on the roll is 285,697, a gain over the : previous year of 16,867. The total amount paid by the government for pensions from 1791 to 1861 was $81,480,455,50. The total amount paid from 1861 to June 30, 1882, was $560,641,324,75. Out of this amount and since 1871, $25,234,- 232,85 has been paid to the survivoia of the war of 1812 and to the widows of those who served during the war. Deducting this latter amount and es timating that which may have been paid to pensioners on account of the wars prior to 1861 and 1865, about $530,000,000 have been disbursed on account of pensions. In the distribution of pensioners | now on the roll they are classified i as follows: I Invalads 175,490 1 Widows, minors, and dependent relatives 78,403 Survivors of the war 1813 1,184 i Widows. 34,801 ; The Star Route Trial. —This ! famous trial has been brought to a close. The following is the verdict of the jury : "As to John M. Puck and William H. Turner, not guilty ; as to John R. Miner and Montford C. Rerdell, guilty ; as to John W. Dorsey Stephen W. Dorsey, Harvey M. Vaille and Thomas J. Brady, the jury are unable to agree.” The court dis charged the jury and was about to adjourn when the clerk was inter rupted by counsel for Rerdell and Miner with a motion in arrest of judgment and notice for a new trial. This was settled by a pestpoaement of argument till Wednesday. The foremen of the jury during the trial said that attempts were made to bribe some of the jurymen, and jndgiug by the verdict the bribers were success ful. The Tote on the last ballot stood : To convict Brady, 10; to acquit 2, (Foremen Dickson and Brown). To convict John W- Dorsey, 10; to acquit 2 (Messrs. Brown and Holmead). To convict Stephen W. Dorsey, 9; to acquit 3 (Messrs. Brown, Dickson and Holmead). To convict Vaille, 11; to acquit, 1 (Holmead). Brown, who held out stubbornly agaiust the con viction of Brady and Dorsey brothers, is one of the two colored jurors. His associate, Martin, however, voted steadidly to convict all the conspira tors except Turner. This Great and Glorious Coun try.—With a crop of 6*000,000 bales of cotton, toward 600,000,000 bushels of wheat, aud over 1,500,000,000 bushels of corn, we may look upon our enormous and astonishing imports as not alarming ; the owners of Ameri can railway property have a right to expect particularly happy results, and those who feel discouraged at the comparative slowness of our export markets may possess their souls in peace. As Europe must take our surplus we need not bs in a hurry to send our new cotton and our foodstuffs abroad, and we need not send any thing on which we have not made a good profit. The future is decidedly in our favor. Our farmers have and will have an abundance of everything; our mechanics and loboreis will have cheap food ; our factories are busy and will so continue ; our transporta tion companies begin the best season on record ; our merchants and trades men will have better buyers and more customers than during the last twelve months; our financial institutions will be busy and prosperous ; and the whole country w.ll celebrate Thanks giving Day with more than ordinary joy and satisfaction.—Boston Adver tiser. The Scientific America i in a recent article on the beef supply, thinks that the day lor cheap beef is past, for the reason that great as has keen the increased production, it has not kept pace with the increase demand. This latter has resulted in part from our increased population, and in part from change in the habits of our peo ple. A few years ago pork was the staple meat consumed by farmers. Now every village butcher sends out his meat wagon two or three times a week to supply a regular and per manent trade umoug the farmers, who have largely dropped pork, and substituted iresh beef. The demand being so groat the farmer or cattle raiser can put his price upon his beef cattle knowing that necessity will compel its payment. Coal Discoveries in Montana.— j Very important coal developments i have been lately made in the Bell Range between Bozeman and the 1 Yellowstone and close to the line of the railroad. The Southern Pacific depends largely on English ccal, shipped to San Francisco, and the offi cials of the Northern Pacific were be ginning to bo seriously alarmed about their fuel supply. It is true that im mense beds of lignite are found along the line of the road from Bismarck west, but it has proved impossible J to use it in the locomotives except; mixed with a large proportion of Eastern coal, and it is necesiary to keep it covered at the mines and transport it in covered cars to prevent its crumbling. Three young men have discovered a gold mine 60 miles north of El Paso, Texas. A piece of the ore weighing two pounds contains $l5O. A shaft has been sunk seven feet to the vein, which is three feet wide. A ton of such ore would be worth SIOO,- 000. Thirty-one new cases of yellow fever and three deaths were reported at Brownsville, Texas, Wednesday. The epidemic has also appeared at many ranches along the Rio Grande. The river is flooding a portion of Brownsville, and many families have been compelled to leave their houses. Yellow fever of a malignant type has broken out at Mier, Mexico, 25 miles from Brownsville. It is sapposed the disease was carried there by the shipment of infected goods from ivfatamoras. Recognition of Knights of La bor. —A few days ago an offer was made by the pottery firms of Wallace, Chawin & Co., Godwin & Co., Vodrey & Co. and Harker & Co. to their em ployees of an individual guarantee of the old wages for the year and their recognition as Knights of Labor if they retnrne 1 to work. The cause of the whole fight has been the ques tion of recognition, aud that settled there was nothing left to object to. The local assembly decided to accept the terms. Wives Wanted. —There are coun tries in the Old World, if not in this where the male population ie greatly in excess of the female. The mea of New South Wales at last accounts were in a pitiable condition. A great many of them find it utterly im possible to procure wives. According to a report recently issued on the population of that colony, no less than 79,000 we men are wanted to equalize the sexes. It is also stated that the Australian Colonies require about the same uumber in proportion to their population. The Forests Disappearing. —As an indication of the rapidity with which the pine (orreats of the South are disappearing it is stated that the State of Georgia alone exports 500,- 000,000 feet of lumber annually which strips 95,000 acres of timber land. Again, it is stated that at Big Rapids, Mich., liom 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 feet are cut annually. The German Empire possesses only about 34,000,- 000 acres of forests altogether. Austrin-llungary has 43,000,000 acres of timber, aud the government ot that country, like that of Germany, looks carefully to the preservation of this part of its resources. Bituminous. —Probably, contrary to their own expectations, Cumber land operators are still experiencing quite a ready Bale for their coal, and they report trade brisk generally. How soon this special demand will cease taxing the present capacity of the mines and this coal will begin to compete for the general trade, remains to be seen. It has kept up remark ably well, which ie the source of no little gratification to the Cumberland companies who regard it as a proof that the inroads into their business during the strike have not been as heavy as they feared. Meanwhile, ths Clearfield operators again com plain of a scarcity of cars, and some of them sey that they are unable in consequence to fill current orders, so that they ask a little more. Others seem willing to take trade at current low figures. We quote Cumberland $4.60@54.65 alongside, and Clearfield $4.30@4.45. —New York Coal. There ie great activity in the min ing and shipping of Cumberland coal, and the operators located here infoim us that they find no difficulty as yet in securing orders. Coal is being re ceived at all the usual points of ship ment ; quite a spurt has been taken in canal shipments to Georgetown within the past week and it is likely to continue. A new executive has taken charge, and the tolls have been reduced from fifty-five to fifty cents (but the leading or wharfage is changed from four to ten cents.) It is expected that the future will be of ths brightest for the shippers of Cum berland coal with the several aven ues open to them, for reaching the markets of the eastward. In the i Oleaifield district there is a very ao | tive state of affairs and coal is being shipped at a rata which is only bounded by the cars that are avail able to carry it off. We notice a sim ilar activity in all the bituminous coal districts, and the outlook is really for a good Fall trade. Prices do not keep pace with this condition of af fairs, however, and there is only a nominal value to be placed upon any quotations that may be offered. We j occasionally hear of some very low | figures for soft coal in this harbor, , and it is difficult to see the profit in 1 the sales thus quoted. When an tbracite ia firmer, there may be a chance for the bitominoua operators to brace somewhat. Goal Trade Journal. Many of the weighty arguments used against Chinets immigration would apply, with equal force, to the importation of Europeans for the sole purpose of taking the place of striking operatives in American factories, and thus breaking down the price of labor. Capital is insisting on ita claimed right to buy labor where it can be had the cheapest. A prohibitory tariff is a glorious thing for the work ingman when "the pauper labor of Europe" ia imported—bought up and shipped under contract—to starve him out, as is being done now by the bosses at Cohoes and in several other places.—Washington Fast. The recent completion of monstrous locomotives, weighing twice as much as those considered large ten years ago, and built for travelling at greatly increased speed, leads thinking people to wonder whether advancement in road-bed building keeps pace wiih the multiplying requirements of mo tive power and rolling stock. To place a fifty-ton engine on anything but the best of steal rails, supported by a road-bed of the moat substan tial natnre, and bridges of most ap proved proportions and resisting powers, would be to reproduce the folly of new wine in old bottles upon a stupendous scale. The Harvest Moun.—Tho Sep tember moon fulls on the 27th inst., 26 minutes after midnight. It is the beautiful harvest moon, one of the crowning glories of tho autumn. On account of the position of the ecliptic with regard to the equator, she rises for several consecutive evenings with only a comparatively short interval of the time intervening, and thus seems to prolong the day as she pours her floods of light over the harvest of i the year. ' Closing of the Oriole. —Tha Oriole closed in Baliimore Thursday 1 night with a grand pageant consis ting of thirty-six floats, includin g cars of the mystic societies of the i South and West, which for the first ( time in the history of these oigani ! zations participated in a display out i side of their respective cities.

Consumption.— It is said that 60,00(1 people die annually iu the United Slates alone from this disease. In some sections of the country one dealli iu every three is from Consumption. This can he, and should be avoided; our people are too careless about an ordinary cough or cold, and other symptoms of throat and lung alfjclions that lend to this disease. You should arrest it while in the germ. Two or three doses of Dr. Bosanko’s Cougli and Lung Syrup will relieve an ordinary cougli or cold. It does not dry up a cough like many preparations ou the market and leave the disease behind it, but acts directly on the throat and bronchial tubes, removing nil the phlegm and morbid matter that ac cumulates iu the throat and lungs. It al lays all irritation, and renders the voice clear and distinct. Sold by Thomas Mc- Neill, Druggist, Frostburg, Md. [Aug 5-y B.
