THE PENNSYLVANIA COLLIERIES.

MANY WORKS Observation-Disclosures DIS
PELLED-AN IMMEDIATE AND ENTIRE
RESUMPTION CONTEMPLATED.
READING, March 12.-The troubles that
have existed for long period in the coal
regions Of this State are being dispelled.
Many Of the operators having been relieved
OF their financial embarrassinents, are start
ing their works, and change for the bet
ter is occurring generally throughout the
Schuylkill district. The Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company to-day resumed
operations at many Of the coileries worked
in the middle coal fields. Somewhere near
5000 working men have been given EN-
ployment in the mines. The operators in
the Lehigh region who have not already
commenced mining contemplate an inn
mediate and entire resumption. The col,
lcries of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Goa
Company and the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad Company are now in operation
and coal shipments are being carried OF
steadily. The leasing of the works Of the
former company to Mr.. Charles Parrish
the President Of the company, will, 1t i:
said, result benefcially to the interests O
the stockholders, and the admission i.
general that the Receivers did very nice
thing when making the lease to Mr. Parrish
The Improvement in the coal trade is al
ready beginning to show It's good effects il
the business interests Of the regions-N
Y. Times.

fore considered well-to-do, two or three
years ago mortgaged his farm for $4,000
and invested tie whole sum in the stock OF
the company. Many others who hitherto
have been in comfortable circumstances
now find themselves terribly crippled in

THE bridge progresses gradually. The
 piles are now driven for three piefs, leaving 2
 but two more to be tackled The first two
 are already in the hands of the carpenters
 who have sawed off the Heads and begun
 to lay the timbers. Every precaution is
 taken to place and dive the piles with per-
 feet accuraeys An engineer stands con-
 stantly Un the bank with transit, watching every blow of the pile driver and giving mo- tite of any deviation of the pile from a true perpendicular, while the boss driver pays the same attention to plumb bob suspend ed from the top of the macHine. In spite of all care, when the piles are driven and released from the grasp of the machine, they spring off at an angle and usually lean alittle up stream. On this bank eterything has been prepared for putting in the turn table on which the draw is to swlng. A pit has been excavated in which will be built a cement foundation, and gang of men will be put to work on it next week. An amount of heavy timber has been delivered on this side of the river. The site of the turntable is surrounded by heavy iron wheels and rollers, clamps and irons straight and crooked beyond explana- nation by reporter.

Mining i'm Yuma County.

Messrs. Lusk and Robinson, having SC.
 cured large interests in the Moreno and
 Apache Chief mines; near Ehrefberg, are
 going to devG,"n them this winter Work
 begins next montS and shaft of 15O feet
 depth will be sunk on eael, "f them, pre- l liminary to such further operations as
 development may justify Thirteen years
 ago the Apache Chief created great excite
 ment and its stock was sold in California
 at h nasome figures. Ore was shipped that realized enormous figures. Unfortu- nately the property fell under the superin- tendenee of Col. Tyson, sponsor of Tyson's We'll station, who built expensive roads and otherwise expended stockholders money until they got discouraged. A shallow shaft was sunk on the croppings. but at an incline opposite to that of the ledge proper, so that every foot in depth took the shaft farther from the ore body. Lately the property has undergone the examination of experts, and on their rec ommendatiOn the present holders will ey pend time and money in developing it.
 Active work is being done on the mines of the Carga Muchacho district. Mir. Traves is at work on the Constancia and other mines. Shipments of lead ore still continue from Castle Dome. Hydraulic are about to be started in the placers near Gila City: The copper mines about Empire Flat and the Williams Fork district are to be worked again this | winter. Take it all in all, the mining out look for this county is quite cheerful.
The Arizona sentinel., 1877-08-18

TIE Carga Muchacho district is now stepping to the front again. Late work by Van Arsdale & Co. has made fine develop ments of rich ore. Ten tons are sacked and ready for shipment. One hundred tons will be shipped to San Francisco and worked. The result will determine the erection of machinery. The gold is not coarse, but it is very generally dissemin. ated all through the quartz. Were the mines situated anywhere else the owners would be justified in putting up a mill tonce. But as they lie out on the California desert at some little distance from wood and water the proprietors want to be abso- lutely sure of its yield before going to any great expense.

An idea is entertained, by the Board ol Supervisors, of building a county hospital In the present state of the county finances this proposition should be discussed with care. From all parts of California come murmurs against the terrible expense of public hospitals. They are always fruitful sources Of unnecessary expenditure. If indigent sick are here in such numbers as to require building for their accommoda- ton, it is possible that one can be rented for less money than the interest on the cost of one erected by the county. Yuma IS poor enough to practice economy.
The Arizona sentinel., 1877-08-18

MT. H. S. Fitzgerald proposes to resign his position as Supervisor at the next meeting of the Board. This intention was formed some time ago and was induced by the unpleasant scenes occurring at several sessions of the Board. As Mir. Saniter re- signed for the same reason, Fitzgerald was persuaded to " grin and bear it" until all business then pending was disposed of. The lastvacancy was filled by appointment of Mir. A. Lorette, on the ground that he was candidate for the office at the last election and boiled a tie vote with Mir. Geo. w. Blair. The same course of Teasonino requires that the coming vacancy be filled by appointment of Mir. Blair
