TIE sISX: IN THE COAL REGIONS.

from The Pottsville Miners Journal, July 20l
As far as we could learn yesterday afternoon there
was but one or two cOlerles working on the eight
hour system IN this region and the men agreed TO
reduction OF twenty per cent in wages-that Is, re-
duCtOn OF twenty per cent on the basis OF 1861 One
colliery started at the 1863 basis fOy this month,
only while the colery is getting under way, after
which they are to be subject to gradual reduction
OF ten per cent for every TWENTY-FIVE cents the price
OF coal falls below three dollars per tOn This ap-
Plies to abOrers well as to miners. In the Lehgh
region there are two coer1es working on the eight
hour system, with corresponding reduction OF
wages. The Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron
COmpany's men are working eight hours, ut
corresponding reduction in wages. The
Union Coal Company refused TO work on the
eight hour system. II was rumOred yesterday that
the Philadelphia Coal COmpany's men at the Colo.
RADIO cOlllery demanded eight hours work and ten
hours pay. This was declined, ana they quit work.
At the other coliery the men continued to work at
eight hours with the understanding that they were
to receive nay accordingly So we were informed
yesterday. Up TO the time OF going TO press we had
no further information. The coal operators are firm
and awaiting any proposition the men choose to
make for their consideration. They win NOT go to
work until the matter is fully settled. 1t IL under
stood that the men are comforting together on the
subject since the refusal Of at least fOurths of the
men in the other counties, continuing at work as
usual, regardless Of the action Of the General

GOLD III KENTUCKY.


(From the Louisville Courier, July 1871
The town OF Lagrange, IN Oldham county, thirty
miles from this City, was all agOg yesterday over the
news that gold had been discovered about four miles
from that place. in the suburbs OF the village OF Bal
lardsville. Late In the afternoon two well known
and reliable gentlemen arrived In this City bringing
this important news to the owner OF the
farm and confirming the report. IL seems
that about year ago Mr. II. II. Neal, Of this

in the vicinity Of Ballarlsvle. paying for The same
the sum OF $4,000 Subsequently, aband oninX

the purchase, MIR. Neal offered it for sale at
the cost price, and 1t has been on the market for
some time Last spring parties came 10 him for per
mission to quarry rock In woodland portion Of this
tract. Permission was granted, and the rock large
quantities OF which were removed, was nsed in con-

had several times remarked on an unusual vein OF

thought that II was anything Of value never entered
their minds. Very recently, however, this was eX-
amined carefully by scientific person and found 10

about three or four days ago. ana 1t seems tho
