clh be purchased for At any other house ir

MrNERs' SrRlEs.- The miners of the Hen
| ~ county Coal Company have made anoth
or strike for extortionate wages. The Com
pany has decided rather than to accede h
the arbitrary terms thus dictated, to clos
their banks for the present. This cuts Of
supply ofcoal to the extent Of about 1s'
tons per day.
The Rock Island Ayss in alluding Il
this decrease Of supplies, says that the Coz
Valley Mining Company are able to increas'
their quantity nearly to the same amount
Il further adds:
"Under the management Of most men .,
advance in the price Of coal would b. looket
for 1t once, but Mr.. Cabel takes more On
largsd view Of his true interests, and regu
lates his price BY the cost Of production an,
mot By the necessities Of his customers
therefore We expect no inxeased price q
that account.
