These facts show the smaller cost of coke
and iron ore at Big Stone Gap and require no
comment. Coke can be delivered at the ovens
here much cheaper than these figures indicate,
and still atford a large profit to the maker.
OPINION or TWO ENGLISH EXPERTS.
Mr. John W. Darbyyof Wcxham, Eng., and
!?.'.Mo,:ks' of Ws"''h?gton, Eng.; members
ol the British Iron ,t Steel Institute, recently
visited Big Stone (Jap. Mr. Darby is a voung
man, but has already reached a prominent po?
rtion among the iron and steel producers of
hngland. Me inherits his aptness for these in?
dustries from ancestors who have been prom?
inent in them for a century. His grandfather
was the first to make iron* from uncoked coal,
and his own plant, located near Chester, was
the first to use successfully the basic process
for making steel. Mr. Monks is one of the
oldest and best known of the practical iron and
coke men of England.
"The very things I wanted to see are here.
I did not care to see the manufactories in oper?
ation, for we have those at home as numerous
and as nearly perfect as one could wish to see,
although I must say that I have been greatly
surprised and pleased at the great concerns we
saw in the North. Their equipments are not
so complete nor their methods so economical as
ours in England, but they are rapidlv ap?
proaching it. What those of us who "menu
business wished to see in America is just what
I have seen to-day at Big Stone Gap: as fine
coke as I have ever seen in England, with iron
ores only two miles away, and limestone be?
tween, together w ith water pow er and railroads.
This is a combination that is bound to make
you great here. I have ncversecn it cqncili'd
elsewhere. Your coke is the best 1 have seen
in America. The brown ores we inspected to?
day are admirably adapted to the basic proc< ss;
Of course, your proximity to the magnetic ores
at Cranberry is a great card in your favor, be,!
you will not need that to make the possibilities
of this point simply incalculable. We have
been over a large portion of the Southern min?
eral belt, and 1 regard this as the best point
we have seen for the manufacturing of basic
steel, owing to the quality and quantity of
your brown ores and their proximity to this
coke. 1 have enjoyed my day here greatly,
and hope 1 can return soon."
Mr. Monks spoke in the same strain, saying
he had been a practical producer of coke and
iron for forty years, and that he had ncversecn
bet Ier coke: and t he iron ore, both brown and
red were line. He thought the liest card for
the future of Big Stone (Jap in Hie iron indus?
try was the advantage it had. over any other
place he had seen for the production of steel by
the basic process.
TIMBER.
Prof. Procter in his report says of the tim?
ber: "About IK) per cent of the area included
in the Appalachian coal-field in Southwest Vir?
ginia, West Virginia,and Southeast Kentucky,
is covered with forest of valuable hardwoods
oak, yelh.w poplar, hickory, etc. The Black
Mountains, immediately north of Big '.one
Gap, are heavily timbered from base t<, sum?
mit with as magnificent forests as I have ever
seen.
SYNONYMS FOR MOTHER.
Children of Culture Taught Lovo-Maklng
Instead or Veneration,
Mother, that dear, sweet, matchless
name, synonym for the tonderost, truest
lovo man ever knew, has been elim?
inated from tho fashionable vocabulary,
says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In
tho revised edition of thogilt-odgcd lex?
icon it is bracketed obsolete.
Only a few years ago war was made
on tho common pronunciation of tho
word mamma, and in spite of usage tho
French method was carried, that is, with
tho accent on tho last syllable Now,
mother, mam-ma, and old-fashioned
"ma" have been set asioe as common?
place and various terms of endearment
substituted. Ono of tho wealthiest
ladies in New York has taught her two
little sons to call her "precious." "Dear
ono" is the favorite address in tho homo
of a rich and distinguished politician,
and tho scions of the largest estate in
tho country call the young mother "Iovg
of mine" and the proud father "Princo
Charming." Uut the most common terra
of endearment among tho children of
tho upper class is "sweetheart." Com?
ing from the littlo folks, scarcely able
to utter tho sounds of the letters, it is
very pretty, especially at table or in tho
nursery, when the smallchild has agriov
ance or a heartache. It is not, however, a
convenient or callable name at the foot
of tho stairs, when the immediate pres?
ence or audionco of a gon tie woman is
needed. Slnco tho abrogation of "dear?
est," which had as long a run as tho
Fauntleroy sash and collar, "dearie" has
enjoyed considerable popularity, but of
late intrenchments have been made up?
on tho lovers' territory and all their
tender appellations appropriated.
"Sweet ono," "my own," "lovely,"
"heart's-easc," "dear heart," "queen,"
"darling" and "sweetness" aro some of
tho pet names to which loving and lova
blo mothers respond. And after all
thero Is something very tender and very
sweet in this love-making of parents
and children, albeit the dignity implied
by plain "mother" may appear to be
lacking. It is just possiblo that there
is too much severity in our relations
with the littlo ones, and that a better,
truer, firmer friendship may accrue from
this child worship. One thing is cer?
tain, that thero can bo no estrangement
between tho real lovers of homo. It is
the sweet privilege of every mother to
be the idol of hor daughters and tho
sweetheart of her sons, and she has
only herself to blame if the child-lover
tiros of hor and in the noonday of life
forgets tho glory that brightened his
morning. "Mother" may do for tho
daughtor and son that tho marriage
ties will bring to the roof tree, but if a
sweeter, dearer name can bo invented,
by all means let us havo it to uso, to
hear and ? .

MRS. BONANZA MACKAY.
florae Revised Details an to Her Very In?
teresting History.
IfOuiao Hungerford," with a younger
Bister who is now tho Countcs3 of Telf
enor, tho wife o! a Italian Count, left
Now York when about twclvo years old,
Gays tho Working Woman. * John Hun?
gerford wa3 a journeyman barborln New
York, but enlisted In the Mexican war;
later ho w?3 employed at his trade by
one Gcorgo \V. Ciprico, whoso shop in
San Francisco was known as "Montgom?
ery baths," and tho chair that Jack Hun?
gerford used is pointed out to tho cus?
tomers of tho Ciprico barborshop to this
(lay. Mr. Ciprico advanced ?500 in gold to
his employe, who immediately sont for
his daughters. When Louise Hunger ford
and her sister arrived in San Francisco
they woul to the houso of Mr. Ciprico,
who took them into his family, thoy be?
ing nearly tho sarao ago of his own
daughters. Hero thoy wore treated as
members of tho family, being taught
Italian and French and music by the
daughters. Thoy lived with their bene?
factors six or seven years.
In 18G3 Hungerford opened a barber
shop on his own account at Mokolumne
Hill, Cal., and Louise, who was then
about nineteen yoars old, acted as her
father's housekeeper?they having one
room in the rear of tho shop. He was
proprietor of but short duration, for he
soon "busted" up In business. During
this period a Dr. Bryant, who kept a
small drug store at Novada City, about
ono hundred miles from Mokelumno
Hill, paid attention to Louise,
and she was married to him after
a 6hort courtship. Dr. Bryant, be?
ing a man of dissolute habits, died two
or three years afterward of delirium
tremens, leaving Mrs. Bryant no means
of support for herself and daughter Eva,
now tho Princess Colonna. Her father's
failure in business and her husband's
death compelled her to seek sorvico in
the family of J. W. Walker, brother of
the late ex-Governor Walker, of Virginia,
and thero she met for the first time Ji
W. Mackay, superintendent of tho Bul?
lion mine at Virginia City, Nov. uouisa
Bryant, for a brief time previous to her
going into tho service of Mr. Walker,
had tried a hand at keeping a boarding
houso for the miners.
Mr. Mackay was comfortably fixed and
could provide her a home, such as the
miners used in thoso days, simply a
cabin of two rooms. So ho courted and
won the Widow Bryant. Her father
in the meantime had gone back to his
former "doss" and procured employment
and helped to pay tho youngest daugh?
ter's board. Mrs. Mackay was cook and
general housekeeper and laundry-wom?
an, and helped entertain her husband's
co-workers in the mines.
Mr. Mackay soon after attainoa great
wealth, mid Mrs. Mackay and her s.stor
had the advantage of a common school
education and could speak fluently Ital?
ian and French, through tho association
of tho Ciprico family, who -wero re?
markably well educated?thrco of tho
daughters of Mr. Ciprico aro school
teachers in San Francisco to-day. When
Mrs. Mackay, her daughter Eva, and ber
sister went abroad, it was to getaway
from her former associates. When she
returned for tho first time to San Fran?
cisco she called upon tlie Ciprico girls,
but from that day to the present she ha3
ignored her former teachers and bene?
factors.
The people of San Francisco who
know the facts as above stated are indig?
nant at, Mrs. Jonn W. Mackay's ingrati?
tude to a family that had done so much
for her in her early days of poverty and
somewhat adventuresome life.
John Hungerford?now known as Col.
Hungerford of the,United States army
was formerly known as "Jack Hunger?
ford, the barber." Ilo wasagood artist,
and there is no disgrace attached to his
business. Louise earned her daily broad
13 a boarding-house keeper. But tho
vorst of ingratitude comc3 in to those
who took caro of her and gave her tho
advantages of an early education. This
wo think tho worst of crimos.
The above is a truo history of tho
Bonanza Queen of European society.
FREAK OF A HAND.
Clown Through a Smoke-Stack and
Cauglit. on a Rod.
Friday, June 20, Frederick Miller and
David Heller, two employes at the fur?
nace at tho rolling-mills, wero killed by
a premature explosion of Hercules pow?
der while blasting out salamander from
tho bottom of the furnaco, says the Bra?
zil Times. Miller was standing directly
over tho drilled hole at the timo of the
explosion and was terribly torn and dis?
figured. Both arms wore blown off, but
one was found. Every effort to find tho
other arm proved fruitless untilamonth
later. The workmen saw an object
clinging to one of tho stay-rods that
help to support and keep in position tho
stacks on tho top of tho furnace.
Through curiosity thoy climbed to tho
top and they saw a sight that not only
filled them with horror but with wonder.
There in full sight of all was a man'3
hand, with only the stub of an arm at?
tached, tightly clasping tho rod abovo
mentioned. Thero can bo no doubt but
that the hand is that of tho unfortunate
Miller. Tho only theory known for the
strange freak of tho bodylcss hand is
that tho hand was blown out tho top of
tho high stack, and in coming down tho
muscles, still active, contracted when
tho hand struck tho rod and fastened to
it with a deadly grip. From tho posi?
tion in which Miller was standing the
hand could not have reached the posi?
tion it occupied other than in tho above
manner. Tho muscles could not have
relaxed much after first contracting else
the hand would have fallen.
