TIE Virginia Enterprise of March 2l,

says:
Although during the past week there
have been no big strikes to chronicle,
vet we hear OF not few Improvements
in the mining situation, and the Spring
promises to open prosperously. During
the past two or three days the weather
has been fine and all seems to have
frightened up in sympathy with our
BRIGHTER skies. Several new mills have
been started up Of late, and more that
have for some time lain idle on account
of the bad condition of the roads, or have
been undergoing repairs, will shortly re-
sumo operations. The mines will short
ly put on more men and the quantity of
ore raised will be increased as fast as
means are found for shipping ore to
such mills as are not on the railroad or
any of its branches. The Occidental and
several other mills are still idle, but will
probably be started up in few days if
the present fine weather shall hold, as
the snow is fast disappearing from all
the roads. The good weather will also
allow of active operations being resumed
on great number of outside mines, and
thus employment will be provided for a
great number Of men who are now idle.
Not only will work be afforded miners,
but also carpenters. millwrights and en-
gineers, for q considerable number of
new hosting works will be erected dur
ing the Spring and Summer months.
There will also be much road-building to
be done, and, indeed, employment Of
some kind will be furnished for all who
desire work.
