PULSE OF WESTERN PROCRESS Details of the Development of the Oambria Coai Mines in Wyoming, ACTIVITY IN VARIOUS MINING DISTRICTS Approsching Spring Stimulates Enterprise in Rich West Jects and Prospects— summary of News. Resoarcefy Pro. General Camsnia, Wyo., March To the Editor of Tue Bee: Since I have been in charge of the Cambria coal mines many of yc citizens have asked me for iuformation with reference 1o this coal field, hence I take the liberty of writing this letter to you, which 1 would be pleased to have you give a place in your columns, The Camh state of Wy mings are located in the g, on the B. & M. railroad and at the southwestern border of the ce brated Black Hills. They are situated be- neath a broad plateau 5500 feet above the the vein averaging seven feet thick of fine bituminous coal. This plateau is broad and level and famous for its vegetables and small in con mands one of the most beautiful lands the eye has ever beheld. While this ve contains some impurities, thése can be easily removed in the mining, lea m coal unequaled this side of the Th mines are what are known as i being entered from the side two in number, *‘Antelope the former being on the west side canon, wit vation of forty feet above the railroad tracks, the latter being on the east side at an elevation of seventy feet The coal from both these mines is delivered at a common tipple or chute in the middle of the canon. The coal Is brought out by the tail-rope system of haulage, the most mod ern engines and nces beir that purpose. T chute railway cars. are Joaded, erfection, there being uo equal to t in ca.

An ele plant furnishes light for ihe mines, as well as for the entire buildings connected with the mines. Eleven steam boilers, with a capacity of 800-horse power which will shortly be increased to 1,200 drive the machitery. A finely equipped blacksmith and machine shop keeps up all needed repairs. Having had charge of the Cambria for a year past and be with all the large ma United States run by machinery—in fact having had charge of the development of wany of them, and having visited most of the others—I have no hesitaucy in say that the mines at this place are the most ex tensive ones in the United States where the entire output is the result of machine min ing. That the owners of this proverty have spared no expense to bring about the very best possible results will be seen when it is considered that although these mines have been opened only about three years, they al ready have a cap: v of trom 1,600 to 1,500 tons daily, which capacity will surely be doublea before the end of 1368, Nor are the works ever idle, owing to the fact that there is a réady market for the eatire production no matter how large it may be. s the mines are distant several hundred miles from any other coal fields, the Cambria_pro prietors are practically without competition, Had it not been for the existence of this o the railrond before named would not b been buiit, owing to the want of proper fuel with which to operate it. True, there 1s 2 uniimited ‘quantity of lignite v which, though good for domestic purp not at all suited for making steam, othing us to its want of coking proy Indeed, this Cambria coal is the only vein of bituminous coal in Wyoming or adjoining states fitted for the use of the locomotive or manufacturer. Important Advantages. Another important advantage the owners of this property have in being so isolated from other coal fields is that they have no organized labor or strikes with which to deal. Again, as the practical part of the mining is done by machinery, unskilled workmen have here a rare opportunity for remunerative employment. More than this, there naturally cannot be, under a system of mining like this, that great variance in the wages of the different employes which is naturally so productive of discontent and ucnt strikes. Another thing to be lly noted is that, as there is ample room for the tallest man to work, and as there is neither water nor explosive gases with which to contend, the laborers are con- tent 10 remain, thus becoming disciplined and pros| members of the underzround bive of industry. The company ulso ha plant of coke ovens, by which a good article of coke is made from the fine slack taken from the coal by the screens The ck, which enters into this coke, requires mno treatment, other than sereoning, to fit it for use, though experts say that the product could be improved by a system of washing. Walter M. Stein, metal- lurgical engincer and chemist of Philadel- phia, hus made numerous careful analyses and tests of this coal and coke, aud testifies to their superior quali and also states that the coal s more than twice as rich in by-products. viz: tar and ammonia, as any other coal he knows of in the world. The matter of erecting coke ovens for the saving of the by-products is DOW being considered A Vast Supply. the customer t pleasur ¥ by “mac] compressed mines nted iine mines in_th As 1 have before remarked, these mines are at the southwestern border of the Black Hills—a fact of great momeut when one comes to estimate the value of the plant. It 48 'my opinion that 1,000,000 tons of ‘coal can be taken from this field annually for seventy- five or eighty years without exhausting the supply of coal. Indeed it would se nature had specially put this great | everything in sight and did steam and cooking coal at this point so as to | make it possible for the hand of western en terprise 10 lift from the depths of these hills the vast quantit of ores lying hidden there. There here an isolated mountain of probably 100 miles across, which is now known 10 be one of the greatest mineral belts on the face of the globe. Indeed, scientists declare that sixty-three the sixty-six knmown minerals have been found in the Hills, and. as to some of the deosits, they are certainly most remarkable. For instanc the discoveries adwooa ana Lead of gold and silver ore s extensive that the miners declare enough of this wealth to be in sight to run the smelter 100 years. And what has becn said of those denosits, 1 am , can be as truthfully said of the t Hill City. N 1 those ores are in close proxiwmity to this place, and can only be worked by the aid of the cosl and coke, it beeds no argument to dem onstrate that these continue to be, as they now are, not only a source of profit to their fortunate owners, but a blessing and means of weaith to the eulire west. Since the commencement of this enter- prise every move has been toward the bet- terment of the coudition of the workmen Thus, two flae hotels, with 860-person capacity, and also 100 neat dwellings, have been erected for their use. In addition, the proprietors have been to the expense of put- ting up a school house, church, hospital and other buildings for the laborers' convenience and comfort. Added to all this, there are fine oftices apd extensive stores, so that this is & veritable city, filled with fully 400 of the bost paid, most prosperous and truly con teated workmen Lo ve found on the face of the earth.

IN THE BLACK HILLS, Railroad and Mineral Development Going Hand in Hand. Reports from the Black Hills give prom of considerable activity in the constructi of branch lines this year. The Kilpatrick army of railroad builders, 1,000 g, is pushing work on the Spearfish extension of the Burlington. Other im- are planned by this com pany. and the Elkhorn is preparing to extend feeders wherever the prospect of payiu busix is favorable. These extensions are evidence of active development | of mineral properties hitherto compara- tively idle, owing to lack of transportation facilit Among the districts that are now connected by rail, or soon will be, are Galena, Carbonate and Strawberry. The mines of these districts contain the largest bodies of ore of any district in the Hills. The ore is a conglomerate of pyrites and free mi quartz It ranges in value from $23 to §150 per ton gold. It is worked by thie stamp and pyretic smelter process at which point he had & special train over the B. & M. road to St Francis, Kan,, a few miles of his future home. Mr. Uplinger has iived in this country something over twenty years, and during that time he has @iven his attention to farming and stock growing.

Ifa man owns that, he will care more about look- ing after his home than about making a row because some one else is richer than he is. his row is what the older people call | the “'social question.” Now, a man who | owns the house he lives in does not want | to make a row.
