How They Tmre After Their Long Period, of Idleneee—Talks With Operators as to Their Phase of the Trouble—Belief.

[Special to The InSlaaspoUe ltowe.1 Brazil, October 11—For five month* the block coal mine* of Olar County have been Idle. Their maehtaery and building* bare become rusty and dilapidated and in aome cases water bae accumulated in the deserted galleries. Since two thousand miner* laid down their packs last May, in refusal to accept Ike redaction in wages proposed by the mine operators, the amonnt of coal hoisted troht the ihatU abandoned At that time, has been bat a trifie in comparison to the vast out-put of former seasons. Nevar before in the history Of mining in the block ooal region, has a strike continued so long or attracted so great an in*

Sympathy with the can*e of the strikers pity lor the destitution among their families has led kind-hearted people to poor ont offerings of money and supplies with a generosity rarely equaled. Everyone looked forward hopefully to the conclusion of the strike and, with the resumption of labor, a return to selfsupport by the miners and an end to the need

of ontaide assistance.

But the summer has gone by andjhe first frosts of winter find the miners still idle, their food still drawn from the suppliea furnished by charity and their familiea in argent need of the commonest article* of clothing. The assistance given since the strike began baa all been In the form of supplies of lood until within a few day*. The people had no money kith which to nay clothing under this system.

He spoae freely the status of the difficulty between the operators and miners as viewed by him. The arguments which he used in support of his position are already Umiliar in the main to readers of The News. “The block coal market has become profoundly demoralized,” be said, “and in order to continue the operation of the mines it is necessary to com> - «*in prices with coals which wwie tbrmerly iu .ch cheaper.” “Last year wy made S per cent, upon our paid up capital stock of »800,000. This was earned in the first part of the year, and in each of the later months our hooSS showed a loss. Thefie is a misunderstanding about this S per

of the stockholders of tbe company. Our mines are being censtantly worked out. In order to keep going and not gradually get out of business we must continue to open new mines. The S per cent, which we made was required for these extensions.'-The coat of a new* mine before it begins to make profitable retain, is about 126,000, and the loas in buildings and equipment, with each shalt abandonsd, is many thousand dol.ars. Not a cent of dividend baa been paid the stockholders of the Brazil Block foal Company since it entered Clay County, five years ago. All of its earnings have gone into these necessary improvements. No company can make any money on its investments here for the reason I have indice ted, on earnings of

less than 12 per cent.

“The latter portion of last year, aa I have said, our mines were operated at a loss. The market became so bad that w* do not expect to make more than S per cent, during the next year, even though the miners accept oar reduction. The strike has already continued so long that our competitors hare secured much of our trade and it will take some time to recover that. We positively have not a single outstanding contract, which would prevent our allowing our machinery to tie idle two years. Any reports different from this ere groundless, and I say plainly that we will never submit to the demands of the strikers nor compromise with them. The question with us Is how we can afford to operate our mines and pa# the prices which we have offered. The relerences which have been made in the newspapers to our profit* are incorrect. I will give you an idea of this thing of profits as we .find it. It has long been the custom among operator* to estimate the cost of coal to them atone and one-half times the price paid to the miners. Thus, if we pay our miners 70 cents per ton, other expenses in getting It hoisted and on hoard the cars, makes the cost about 91.06 per ton. Than thsre la a royalty of 10 cents per ton to be paid the owner of the land. Seme time ago a Chicago man wanted to purchase coal irom ns. we offered it tor Si.36 per ton. He declined to purchase at a higher rate than fl.16, the bare cost to us of mining it. Naturally we lost th* conin what la known n* tbe No. 10 mine th* Block Coal Company has introduced compressed air mining machines. Colone: Zimmerman does not speak at all enthusiastically of thair operation. The No. 10 mine is new and tbe point* where the fores ia needed to drive tbe machines are yet close to the air compressed, so' that the loss in transmitting the power is comparatively •mall. Aa the galleries of the mine are extended and the mach.nes move lartheraway irora the point which •iroplie* the compressed air, the loss of power in transmission increases at a rapidly s owing ratio, and at a certain

Mrs. Mackey’s Body Found In Her Booms—Dead Many Days. Last evening between 7 and 8 o’clock a strong stench was discovered coming from the house at No. 823% East Washinaton street, occupied by Charles Mackey and wife, Louisa Mackey. Patroftnen Miller and Waite, who are on that beat, were notified. Upon forcing an entrance to the house they found the dead and partially decomposed body of Mrs. Mackey resting upon the bed. On a chair beside the bed was a bottle in which-there had been chloroform, seeming to indicate that the woman had committed euicide. Mrs. Mackey was laat seen by her neighbors Wednesday evenlug, and the condition of the body indicated that she bad been dead not lest than forty-eight hours. The neighbors say Mr. Mackey, who is a plasterer, left home a week ago last Thursday, saying he was going out to collect on some work he had done. He has not been seen since and none of the friends of Mr*. Mackey know of hi* whereabouts.

Ckicaoo, October IX—The local papers indulge in much speculation on the latest mystery in the Cronin case, bat the authorities seem to have succeeded in keeping to themselves the reason for the unexpected adjournment of court yesterday and the all-night session in the State’s Attorney’s private office, where a dozen persons, brought in by officers, were examined. One paper prints a sensational story about a stenographer formerly employed by the State’s Attorney. It ia asserted that at the beginning of the Cronin investigation this man was relieved from duty because he was re sted to certain people said to belong to the anti-Cronin party. The stenogsapherhas since. It is claimed, been leading a reckless life, and now is suddenly discovered to have disappeared from tbe city. At the seme time the State’s Attorney discovered that a large portion of the evidence and all tbe depositions in the Cronin ease had been abstracted from his office; hence the unusual excitement yesterday. It ia asserted that a conference was held last night and an examination made of witnesses for the re-

taking of depositions.

A Farther Howdye Do. Chicago, October IX—The Mail saya: It is almost certain that this afternoon a special Grand Jury will be called in connection with Cronin case. This has been one of tbe most safely guarded secrets which has been locked up in the breasts of the State'* Attorney and his associate coansel. To a great extent this plains the extraordinary activity which was rag on all yesterday afternoon; in fact, almost until daylight in and around the Criminal Court building. It leaked out at the North Side building that two Deputy Sheriffs are In custody and that they wul be promptly indicted for interfering with justice in the selection of a jury to try the pneoners indicted for Dr. Cronin’s murder. It is claimed that these two deputies—whose names will soon be made public—were supplied with money by the anti-Cronin foction, and that they gave thto money to certain jurors and instructed them' just how they could answer the questions pat to thorn and secure seats in the jurors' box.
