GrEuBExynLE's COAL MINES.

stsubenyille correspondent writes: 1.-THE
coal mines in our vicinity are almost at
stand-Still. The Albania works, both the
coal shaft and rolling mill, are still idle, with
no prospect whatsver OF resuming work. The
Bastard Shaft Is doirg but little, having but
20 men, mostly oolored, at work at the re-
duced price. The old men have been stand
ing out against reduction for several weeks.
There seems to be, at the present time, no
visible signs whatever Of their coming to any
agreement with their employers. Many OF
them are at laboring work, while there are
Others who have left for other parts In search
OF work. The furnace shaft ct Storey Hollow,
better known as the Gravel shaft, Is also idle,
the running OF which depends largely on the
furnace, but has been shut down since the
failure OF F. A. Bates OF Cleveland. The
Steubenyille Coal and Mining Company
shaft Is working about thret.fourths time.
The miners at the Jefferson rolling mill COM
pany's shaft were notified Of reduction two
weeks ago, but refused 10 accept hence are
now idle. The Swift shaft but now owned
by the Jefferson Iron Company, has been Idle
/ for several weeks, but resumed work yester-
day at the old price, and 1t Is thought that
they will resume work ct the old pit shortly
on the same conditions. Orders have deem
Issued To commence repairing the shalt at
once. The curbing will be renewed. In the
Ayerick shaft force Is at work sinking to
the No. s vein, A feet below the vein now
being worked, 200 feet from the surface.
Should the coal prove good this vein will be
worked. .,.... -s. 49,.
