Strike in Soft Coal Fields lias
Lost Threatening Aspect by
Granting of Demands.
OPERATORS OPPOSING
HOLD MEETING TODAY
PITTSBl'RG, J'a., April 1.—Dispatches
from the soft coal fields tonight indicate
almost a general announcement from tha
operators of Western Pennsylvania to
pay the miners the advance of 5.53 per
ernt per ton called for in the restoration
of the scale of 190" With notices poatad
at the majority of the mines announc-
ing the granting of the scale, the strike
in the soft coal field has lost the threat-
ening aspect that has surrounded it since
last January.
Despite this it was announced from
Johnstown that union miners will make
a demonstration at the mines of the
Berwind White foal Company at Wiml-
be r tomorrow in an effort to get the
non-union miners to come into the or-
ganization. The demonstration will con-
sist of a parade, but no trouble is ex-
pected.
West Virginia Miners
Not Affiliating.
The mines of the Fairmount (W. Ya.)
coal section have not entered into the
present controversy, of the 40.0UU miners
in West Virginia, but 5(.n<0 are affiliated
with the United Mine Workers; about
1500 are in the Panhandle section, and
t he so have ceased work.
Announcement was made from Crreens-
burg tonight that the seal-* had been
granted by the operators of fifteen mines
in Westmoreland County. In the Pitts-
burg district there has been little change
in the past twenty-four hours. Tomor-
low being Mlitcheli day, the anniversary
or the granting of the eight-hour day to
the miners, all mines will be closed. On
Tuesday, however, matters are expected
t« reach a climax. The district conven-
tions scale committee will have in read-
iness the new scale, and then it is ex-
pected that most of the operators will
sign. This will be, a mere formal grant-
ing of the advance.

"COFFEE JAGS"
The Doctor Named Them Correctly.
Someone said "Coffee never hurts any-
one." Enquire of your friends and note
their experiences.
A Phi la. woman says:
"During the last 2 or 3 years I be-
came subject to what the doctor called
'coffee jags' and felt lik*» 1 have heard
men say th* y feel who have drank too
much rum. It nauseated me. and I felt
a.s though thfre was nothing but coffee
flowing through my veins.
"Coffee agreed well enough for a time,
but for a number of years I have known
that it. was doing me great harm. but.
like the rum toper, I thought I could not
get along without it. It made me nerv-
ous, disordered my digestion, destroj'cd
my sleep and brought on frequent and
very distressing headaches.
"When 1 cot what the doctor called a
•coffee jag on. I would give up drinking
it for a f-v. days till my stomach re-
gained a little strength, but I was always
fretful and worried and nervous till I
was able t-» resume the use of the drug.
"About a v «r {1go X was persuaded to
try Pgstum. but as 1 got it in restaurants
it was nothing but a sloppy mess, some-
times cold, and always weak, and of
course I didn't like it. Finally I prepared
sonic myself, at home, following tho di-
rections carefully and found it delicious.
I persevered in its use, quitting the old
coffee entirely, and feeling better and
better each day. till 1 found at last, to
my great ,iov. that my ailments had all
disappeared and my longing for coffee
had come to . n cud.
"I have heretofore suffered intensely
from utter exhaustion, besides the other
ailments and troubles, but this summer,
using Postuni I have felt fine." Name
given by Postuni Co., Battle Creek, Mich,
There's a reason.
Restaurant cooks rarely prepare Pos-
tuni Coffee properly. They do not let
it boil long enough,"
"WASHINGTON, April 1. — Consul Le
Roy supplies from Durange an excellent
report on developments In Mexico that
should furnish clues for the extension of
many lines of American trade in that Re-
public. He writes:
Tiie Governor of the State of Durango
is arranging the new loan for refunding
the $400,000 (gold) debt of the State, and
for public improvements, chief among
them the long-planned waterworks and
sewers for Durango city.
There exists such great shortage of
labor in Mexican cotton fields that it is
estimated that 10 per cent or more of this
year's cotton crop will not be gathered.
The crop is probably the largest yet, in
spite of labor troubles. Some estimate
the increase at one-third, but this is
probably too high.
Labor is in demand also for industrial
development in the State of Durango.
The new -'000-ton smelter of the Velar-
dyia Mining and Smelting Company,
now ncaring completion, and the multi-
plication of factories in Gomez Palacio,
Lerdo and Torreon have all made heavy
demands on the labor market. Cotton
planters find it hard to get men. and
often offer double the former wages.
Mexico now has a clearing house, the
expansion of banking operations in the
interior with foreign countries having
for some time rendered such an institu-
tion quite necessary. Eleven chartered
banks and six private banking companies
are the organizers of the new clearing
house, the presidency of which will al-
ternate between the National Bank of
Mexico, the Ranks of London and Mex-
ico, and the Central Batik of Mexico.
Utilization
of Water Fowers.
Twenty years ago the late Matias Ro-
mero, Mexican minister to Washington,
wrote of the. numerous water powers in
the tempestuous and rarely navigable
rivers of Mexico as this country's un-
exploitcd supply of "white coal." Only
lately have his words regarding the pos-
sibilities for exploitation of water pow-
ers begun to be explored on a large
scale, and then only in a few places.
The question of water rights in an arid
country is generally one of rather com-
plex phases. But oil water courses com-
ing under Federal jurisdiction, the Gov-
ernment grants concessions for the use
of water power, and where private rights
intervene there are still many opportu-
nities for purchases or combinations to
,bo made.
Business Activity
in Torreon.
Torreon, the shipping center of the
cotton belt on the borders of Durango
and Coabulla States and of the indus-
trial enterprises which have sprung up
in recent years in that district, is one
of the comparatively few places where
American retail houses have acquired im-
portance. Just now an American de-
partment store, with a stock worth near-
ly $200,000 gold, is being Installed there.
The American Rank of Torreon. organ-
ized less than three years ago. has Just
declared an annual dividend of 12 per
cent. A new American company for
mining and real estate enterprises is the
latest incorporation. The 40 per cent
dividends of the soap company of the
Lag una, the most prosperous industrial
enterprise of the region, has invited
competition, and one new soap company
IS already quite well established. it is
reported also that St. Louis brewers are
to build a $3.r.0,000 brewery between Tor-
reon and Gomez Palacio.
Famous Iron Mountain
Has Not Been Sold.
Owing to the work of settling the es-
tate of the man who owned nearly all 1he
stock, the blast furnace, rolling mills and
foundry connected with the famous "Iron
Mountain," on the outskirts of Durango.
they have been shut, down since last
September. The rumors of the purchase
of this plant and the company's con-
trolling Interest in the Immense iron de-
posits of the "mountain" itself by agents
of the I'nited States Steel Company ap-
pear to have had no foundation In fact.
Some American residents of Durango
have just organized the Durango Foun-
dry and Machine Company and are in-
stalling a new foundry and machine shop
in a part of the city quite close to the
"Iron Mountain."
Timber Tracts
and Market for Lumber.
Timber tracts not now held under pri-
vate ownerships are quite common in
districts at present remote from transpor-
tation facilities. There is a great deal
of timber in the Sierra Madre west of
Durango. pine predominating, with oak
also in districts. Where it Is standing in
any quantity it is generally held by
Mexican owners, or by outside speculat-
ors who are holding it with a view to
the future construction of railways.
There has been u good deal of buying on
speculation in this way in this State and
Chihuahua. The last tract bought was
of 250,000 acres, and is being held by a
firm organized in the State of Tennessee.
There are still tracts in the hands of
their old-time owners which can be had
quite cheaply, though not many large
tracts. The price of lumber has risen
considerably in Mexico during the past
year. This is in part due to the rise in
iumber in the I'nited State?, as the soft-
er kinds of lumber produced in Mexico,
which are used for building purposes,
cheap grades of furniture, etc.. are in-
ferior to the lumber imported from the
United States. The sorts imported are.
principally pine, poplar, oak, ash, maple,
etc.. the pine predominating greatly in
quantity and coming mainly from the
southern part of the United States. The
price of these various sorts of lumber has
gone up during the past, year in Mexico
from $7 to $15 In United States money per
lOOt) feet. One of the results is that the
domestic product demands a higher price;
it is selling in this city, and very in-
ferior pine at that, at approximately $20
in United States money per 1000 feet.
Lumber Purchases
From United States.
Exports from the I'nited States to Mex-
ico during 1904 of lumber, rough and fin-
ished. and of manufactures of wood of
various sorts amounted in value to $4..557,-
000 in I'nited States currency, the. high-
est figure ever reached in this trade.
Of sawed timber, the exports to Mexcio
wci'h $423,000; of hewn timber. $16,000, and
of logs, $51,000. The last two items have
fallen off in recent years, while the
amount of sawed timber has gained.
Among the items which may properly
be classified as lumber, the principal
values of exports to Mexico were boards,
deals and planks, at $i,,07.'l,000. and shooks
(mostly boxes), at $402,000. Few shingles
arc used in Mexico, walls and roofs be-
