On to Macarthur.

Williams ana VIM. B. Marfield
of this city started on a tour Of
observation along the proposed
route OF the Circleville Near
thur & Gallipolis railroad.
They arrived at the residence
of Sol. Reigle, jr, near Adelphi
for breakfast, and from there
proceeded on to Bloomingville
for dinner. The country TO
this point is so well known
that a description of it would
be superauOus. Several resi-.
dents OF BlOomingville accom-
panied the party down Queer
creek Valley about 6 miles 10
Potter's Ridge; all down the
Valley there is more or less
coal, and the ridge is ful! OF
iron, coal, potter's clay and fire
clay, and the finest Of building
stone. There are some dozen
potteries on the ridge. Here
there will have to be a cut or a
tunnel Of about 600 feet, il Is
the only point on The whole
route where any heavy work
has to be done, every foot of
the route seems TO have been
created for the special accom-
modatlon of railroad builders.
On the other side of the ridge
IS Raccoon Greek Valley,
through which they passed to
Karnes' Mill; to see this Valley
is we'll worth a days ride, it is
magniticently beautiful and
picturesque; it is full Of coal
and iron as are all the hills for
mi les around.
Karnes' Mill ls about 33
miles from Oircleville and here
the party met the grading from
Gallipolis. Right OF this point
the quesli, n hinges will they
go on to Logan or come heres
There IS not much time to de.
eide this question in, and what
is to be done by our citizens
must be done quickly; it is
hoped and expected that this
will be the point they will
strike for from Karnes' Mill,
but there is "many slIp," and
The Logan people are thor,
oughly aroused to the impor-
lance to their town OF that
road-sO delays are dangerous.
Between Karnes' and Near
thur are the Dunkle mines
which have a vein of iron ore
6 ieet 6 inches thick. These
mines yield ore Of such rich
ness that it takes 200 b' less
ore to make a ton of iron than
of any in ibe surrounding
country. Its value is so great
that 1t pays to work it and
haul the ore in wagons to Win
ton Furnace some miles away
Specimens OF ore brought from
the Benson Dunkle and John
Dunkle farm are said to be
much more valuable even than
The ore mined on the widow
Dunkle place. The citizens all
through this country are eager
for The road. They will give
land or work or anything they
have to get 1t built; they have
sense enough to know that il
will be a lair exchange and
will bring them money for
what they have to dispose OIL.
Macarthur was the stopping
place for the night; IN The
morning a large party Of infiu.
ential citizens returned with
them to the ridge and took
great pains TO show them many
things of interest.

Letter from Parryville.


TO the Editor of THE CARBON ADvotATE:
SIR, Since the genial presence of
your spicy little ADVOCATE continues to
illuminate many of our Parryville homes
every Saturday night, it has occurred to
us that few items from this quarter
would be of interest to, at least, few
of your many readers. f
The Carbon Iron Works are moving
slowly along, alta little better than half
their capacity. Nearly all the men are
in employment, though at wages much
reduced, The "good time coming"
has, verify, been long time on the
way, and yet we do not even catch a
dim glimpse Of it in the distant future.
Would that it were here. Rumors Of
"better times" are rife. Thus far, how
ever, we have had to be content with
mere rumors and wish for the "better
times" We confidingly hope that
September will witness their advent.
Our Public Schools closed successful
term on Friday last. Miss Jones, teach
er of the Primary School, returned to
her home at Minersville, Schuylkill Co..
on Saturday, in company with Miss
Mollie, her sister, who had been spend
ing week of vacation in our romantic
little village. .-...
Mr.. j. NJ. Bauman, son of Hon. d.
Bauman, has returned after second
year at Fort Edward Institute, to spend
his vacation at home. He returns, we
understand, to finish his third year.
Masters A. L. and r. II. Bauman, -
younger sons of Mr.. Bauman, we are
informed, are making preparations to
enter Kingston Seminary at the COM
mencement of the fall term.
1t speaks well for our PaTyvilie
Schools that these young men have re-
ceived all their preparatory training at
home. Besides these, honorable men-
tion might lie made of Mr., G. T. Smith,
now engaged in the Banking house of
Wilbur & Co., at Bethlehem;-W. E.
Smith, a brother, teacher atWhite Hall;
Miss E. NJ. Paul, (now Mrs. Norton)
formerly teacher of this place and
later in your borough, and Miss Matte
a. Phifer, of this place, all of whom,
we proud to say, have embarked up
on their various callings, within the last
few years direct from Parryville Schools.
Besides the above named there are many
who have received good, practical train
ing, who have not entered any particu-
lar profession. Behold some Of the
fruits of the Independent School Dis
trict or, in other words, the results of
longer terms and better pay.
Think you, does 1t pay?
Let the people say.
In q future article, when our enthu-
siasm upon the school question shall
have abated, we may attempt adescrip-
tion of our cozy little village and its
picturesque surroundings.
Yours Truly, PoHo POGO.

Gazing In of a Coal Mine.

Last Saturday, between and 10 p.
NJ, an extensive cave occurred in the
Enterprise collery, north Wilkes Barre.
The miners discovered signs of the COM
ing cave and made their escape, but had
been out few minutes only when
the crash came. In their hurry they left
twenty-five mules behind, but went back
after them when the ground ceased set
ting. They had succeeded in rescuing
all, but another cave occurred, and cut
them off from the main opening, and
they had to make their exit through the
safety opening. The next morning, the
Engineer, Henry Carey, entered the
mine with lighted lamp, when the gas,
which had been driven into that part by
the cave exploded, bruising him severe
ly. The surface shows q number of
cracks or fissures, but none of the
houses, of which number are built
over the mine, are perceptlbly injured
An area of eight or ten is included
in the cave, but 1t has all settled evenly,
and the damage outside is very slight.
Inside of the mine it is quite serious,
and will entail heavy loss upon the
operators. The lowest vein worked is
twelve feet thick, and is about $50 feet
from the surface. The upper one is a
nine feet vein, and has been worked,
but the middle vein is five feet thick,
and has never been worked. II cannot
yet be told whether this latter vein can
be worked hereafter.
