Tho coal miners of Martins Ferry and
wages They at present receive $225 per
100 bushels of coal, and they ask for $3.50
per 100 bushels, the same as the Wheeling
miners receive. The general impression in
Martins Ferry and Bellaire is that the
miners are not asking for anything but
their lust rights, as il is as hard to dig coal
in Ohio as il is in. West Virginia and furth-
er that the mineSwners will certainly give
it, rather than have the banks idle at this
season of the year. The miners will with
out doubt quit the works if their demand
is not granted.
Demand for nails is good aud the ship
ments keep pace with production. Etna
furnace has enough charcoal on the bank
TO run this blast. They have big quanti-
ties OF ore. Whitman Stove foundry is now
working full in every department and
turning out stoves faster than ever. The
new furnace building at Goshen, Va, ex-
poets to blow in about November 1st. Its
capacity will be $50 tons per day. Mr..
Clendenin has left Howard and gone to
Gallia furnace. Chas. McConaughy takes
the books of the furnace. Belfont Co. have
reduced the price for digging ore to $3.50.
That rate is what the other companies have
been paying for some time. Col. Gray has
sold the piece of ore land formerly ope-
rated by the Iron & Steel Company to Peter
Fink, who will proceed at once to put the
mines in operation. The Belfont Company
has 10, 900 tons of lime in one pile, at Dean
Station. There is also in the company's
kilns there and at Centre stction, about
Il, 900 tons OF ore. mostly burned, or now
burning. These are the accumulations
since the furnace stopped in July, and the
stock is still coming in.-Iroaton Register.
Wellston, O.: All three o. the blast fur
naces in this place are on to their full
making their usual amount OF
good iron. The strike among the drivers
in the furnace Mires tie first of the
month, caused the banking up o. the fur
naces for few days, but the Strike ended
without doing any serious damage. The
drivers came out and demanded an adj
vance from $3.50 TO 81 per day. The COM
pany refuse to give it. Some of the drivers
were discharged and the others returned to
work at the old price, The Wellston Fur
mace Company has ten mines. Their ship
ping mine has about thirty miners at work.
The Milton and Eliza furnace. companies
also ship some coal from their mires at the
furnace. The trade, however, has not been
so brisk the past few weeks. Great com
plant is made OF want of cars. This is
caused by the cars not being promptly I'M
loaded at their destination on account Of
there being no extra demand for coal. A
little squirt of,cold weather will doubtless
help this. The Patterson slope and the
Fluchart shaft are running, but not making
full time. The price of mining is the same
