THE TUNNEL, HOLED.
MASTER PIECE OF ENGINEERING AND rooK
WORK AT BIG MINE RUN.

The immense tunnel at Big Mine Run
built by the Locust Mountain Coal and
Iron Co., was successfully holed and by 30
doing one Of the grandest pieces of en-
glneering and rock work is almost COM
pleted. So accurate was the work Of en-
gineering done that by exact measurement
the line from the south end differed only
seven-eights Of an inch from the line car
ried in from the north end, and not the
two inches difference as has been errone-
ously stated in an issue OF the Miners
Journal Mr.. 8. NJ Riley the engineer in
charge and his assistant j. b. Garner are
to be congratulated on this fine piece of
engineering.
After a hole had been blown through a
sumptuous repast was rendered to the
workmen by the contractor, A. G. Doug
lass, after which A. ]. Miller photographed
them in group, amid the waving OF ban
ners and the flying Of flags. A salute Of
fourteen sticks Of dynamite was fired, in
dicating the number of months taken to
drive one of the largest tunnels in the
State. 1t will require about three weeks
to finish this tunnel when another tunnel
will be driven to connect with the North
Ashland Colliery and from thence TO the
Continental Coliery for the purpose of
draining those celieries in addition to the
Hazel Dell, Centralia and Logan colleries
operated by Lewis A. Riley & Co. Mr.. H.
j. Kelley has now driven the tunnel across
the Centralia vein the distance adjudged
safe for them to go and the water in the
Mammoth vein of the old Centralia Co,hery
will be tapped by several l2-inch drill
holes which will be drilled in the course of
few weeks.-Aduocate.

HER LONG INVOLUNTARY FAsT-THE END APP
PARRNTLY NEAR.
EAsToN, July 14.-Mrs. Ellen Wutcher.
OF Whitehall, Lehigh county, who has not
partaken OF food in any form for over
100 days, was unconscious from Sat-
urday morning until Sunday morn
ing when she muttered half a dozen
words to her husband and remained un-
conscious the entire day. The convul-
slons in which she has lain almost con-
stantly for over three months continue in
milder form, and the strength OF her hus-
Dand is no longer required to prevent her
from falling out Of bed or from doing her.
SELF injury with her left hand, the right
hand being paralyzed. S,yeral attempts 8
we're made last evening to arouse her, even
during spell in which she was on other
days rational, but all efforts failed. Her
strength is failing, and there is every indi-
cation that her end Is near.
AT different times yesterday and last
evening her complexion and general ap-
pearance was that of person at the poin
OF death. 1t is now eight years and three
months since Mrs. Wutcher was first take n
sick. Since then she has at no time eaten
as much in week as she ate before in a
day Her last attempt to quench her thirst
was ten weeks ago last Friday, when she
made an effort to drink a cup OF coffee.
The liquid spurted from her nose and
mouth, and she has since declined all
nourishment in any form. Although she
has been in bed eighteen months, there is
a total absence OF bed-sores.

Pensions! Veterans! I!
The Disability Pension Bill.

Act of June 81, 1890, grants pensions to
all ex-soldiers and sailors who served 90
days or more in the Army or Navy during
the rebellion, and were honorably discharg-
ed, and who are now suffering from any
permanent, mental or physical disability
contracted since the war or during the war
whether from disease, injuries or effects of
old age, at the rate of from So to $l2 per
month, according to the degree of his dis.
ability for the performance of labor requir-
ing the exertion OF physical strength /;
provided the disability is not due to yici.
Gus habits. This pension is not restricted
to the veterans who have to make their
living by hard labor, but is equally due to
professional men or clerks, provided they
have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise of the
physical strength Of an abe-bodied man.
Those WHO have applied under the gen.
eral laws and who are unable to prove up
the pending claim can apply for aud se-
cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution of the former claim aud secure
their arrears.
II YOU are now drawing small pension,
say 80 or "a per month, you can take this
pension instead, and il you have an appli-
cation on file for increase or additional
pension for new disabilities you can con.
tinue the prosecution Of such claims while
drawing the new pension, or you can file
an original claim for disability contract
ed in the service while drawing pension
under this new act.
Widows, children, and dependent moth
ers and fathers are entitled under this act
and can suspend the prosecution of any
pending claim, and take this pension, and
afterwards complete the prior clltm and
get arrears.
Having been duly appointed an Agent
according to the rules and regulations OF
the Department of the Interior in the pros
ecution OF such claims and having had sue
cess in a pumber Of cases am always pr,-
pared to give information aud assist claim
ants, and Will assure them success il they
are able TO establish the facts as required
by law.
Those interested should call soon and
claim their reward.
