The utmost secrecy characterizeS every
thing pertaining TO the mining situation
and L is impossible 70 trace rumors to an
authentic sOurCe-that is, TO the companies
or the Knights OF Labor organization. One Of
the miners who were visiting Cumberland
on Tuesday dropped the remark that the
Consolidation Coal Company's miners
were talking OF going to work, while gen
tleman prominently engaged in the coal
traffic, said yesterday that probably the
coal companies would meet again at no
very distant day. 1t is the impression
that the Clearfield miners failing 10 come
out for IS cents per ton as anticipated, ana
the yielding of the western miners is hay-
ing its influence i'll this region.-CMaJfr-

A Frostburg, Md, dispatch says: Last
week we noted number of improvements
being made within the corporation limits
by our citizens. but the small mining vii
lagos around Frostburg seem to be not a
whit behind in the adornment of their
homes and repairing the property. The

evidences of the industrious hands of the

their effortS-Since writing the above we

Many Of the farmers of Fayette and
WeStmoreland counties are selling their
lands which are underlaid with the COking
coal at high figures. Some OF these are
buying farms in our county where they
find the surface better than that of their
old ones and yet the prices much lower
than in the coke country. The fact that
our county is out of debt and taxes are low
is also great induCcment tor them to come
here Maj. \. G.. Harper of the Washington
Real Estate Agency informs us that he has
numerous inquiries for eligible farms in
this county from men of the counties
above named who desire to remove here,
and he has already sold several on favOra-
ble terms - Washington Observer.
