Clean Ont the Cutters.

There are several very filthy gut
tiers on several streets Of the town
that ought to be looked after andput
in proper condition. This is just the
season of the year when sanitary
regulations are most necessary. The
free use of lime would be quite bene
fetal in several places along the pub

Thursday: "We have received the
announcement of this institution of
learning. The college is located at
Martinsburg, with Rev. J. p. Hyde,
Principal, and we are glad to observe
from its list of students that it has
passed through a prosperous session.
Miss Virginia Burgess and Miss EN-
ana Kohlhousen, of Winchester, are
teachers in the institution. Mr..
Hyde is a veteran educator, and he
deserves the support of the people of
his section. The prospects OF his
college are flattering we understand,

Hon. James M. Laidley of Charles
ton, has written a letter, accepting
the position of elector at large for
West Virginia on the Peter Cooper
ticket. His letter discusses the
finance question at some length, and
in quite an able manner. The green
back heresy is spreading rapidly in
this State. There is no use to con-
ceal the fact that the western infia-
ton scheme has stuck deep into
West Virginia soil.

to know why Scotland should draw
upon US for these classes of workmen,
when so many thousand laborers in
Great Britain are out of employment.
The reason must be found either in the
fact that III masons and stone-cutters
are superior workmen, or that their ser
vices can be secured for less than the
compensation given Scotch workingmen

"A New York Company Resuming
Operations on the Property.


Operations on tho Property.
b. f. Bivins. one Of the largest stock
holders OF the Oakland Mill and Mining
Company, owners Of the Eagle mill
aud mine. in Spring Valley. left here
last eveninsin company with a gentle
man named Vandewater Smith, the re.
preventative Of q number of New York
capitalists, for the purpose of making
arrangements TO resume operations on
the niue. The property which has
been condiiionally disposed of to Mr.
Smith. consists of the Eagle niue and
a new Is stamp mill. The mine has
been developed TO depth of 1877 feet.
AT the first level 100 feet below the sur
face, drifts have been run along the
ledge, distance of 400 feet. Fifty
feet deeper drifts have been run 100
feet, aud at the bottom Of the shaft so
feet of drift has been run along the
lead. The ledge, rs far "a prospected.
averages about eight feet in thickness,
the greatest width of the veia being IL
feet. The ore contains gold and silver
but q large quantity of it was worked
at the mill exclusively for the former
metal, and averaged SIS per ton. Some
of the ore carries high percentage Of
silver, bnt for seine unaccountable
cause no attention was paid to that
metal in working the ore. 1t is the in
sention of Messrs. Bivins aud Smith to
put up rock breaker and self-feeder at
the mill. and start it to crushing ore az
soon as possible. Mr.. Bivins has
made arrangements with the creditors
of the company for an extention of
time, and expects ere long to be able to
square accounts. Mining experts who
have examined the mine have without
exception highly recommended the
property, which, bat for the poor man
agement of the persons formerly in
charge. would, IL is generally believed.
now be paying dividends.
