FURNACE NOTES.

The output of ores at the Jackrabbit
mines are steadily on the increase, the
whole of which goes to the new smelters.
The former assay office is being fitted
up for occupancy by the family of Mr.,
John Ryan, master mechanic at the new
works.
There is but little decrease in the
huge pile of charcoal at the smelters.
The consumption is fully covered by
daily receipts.
The assay office at the smelters is
completed 1t is a substantial brick
building and presents quite ali attractive
feature among the rest of the buildings.
There has been a scarcity of coke at
the shelters, though an abundance Of
the material is awaiting transportation
at Milford. Teams are difficult to be
had.
The furnaces of late have been consid.
erably delayed on account Of the break
age of water jackets, and the amount Of
bullion produced during the week is
consequently lighter.
From all accounts the shelters see ~
to be contending against adverse circum-
stances. Owing to the lack of another
locomotive and more rolling stock which
are now at Milford awaiting means OF
transportation across the desert, it is
impossible to have enough ore to supply
the furnaces. This lack of ore ia not
only the occasion of making the smelters
run slowly on account of low lead
charge, but is apt to make the No. |,
furnace close down for awhile. Supt. s.
T. Godbe has however telegraphed the
Con. Imp. Co, at Milford to hasten the
forwarding 1t is hoped the difficult,
will soon be overcome, and the furance,
again producing their regular amount
of bullion.

A SNEAK THIEF CAUGHT

Ter and Secured His Man.

Last Tuesday afternoon John Rose
pleaded guilty before Justice Thorne to
the charge of petit larceny and was sem
fenced to serve a term of five months in
the county Jail.
1t appeared in the complaint that the
larceny consisted in the stealing of two
silver watches from the show case of Sam
f. Wertheimer's Main st. store.
1t has been the custom here. for long
time that whenever a merchant sees fit
to leave his place of business he would
let all doors remain wide open. While

stolen property, Rose denied any
knowledge of the goods, until threatened
with an immediate arrest, and search,
he wisely admitted the fact. After
much talk and promises of secrecy, Sam
allowed him to so alone to his supposed

THE COKE STRIKE ENDING.
Strikers Going Back to work-All VIII

Strikers Going Back to work-Al VIII
BE Over Next Monday.
scoTTDAIr, Pa, May 2l.-Everything
to-day points to an early ending of the
great coke strike. The strikers are
weakening, and big breaks in their
ranks are reported from various plants.
At Redstone two hundred strikers re-
turned to work this morning. The men
were dissatisfied with the results of
the Scottdale convention, and took u
vote and decided to go back. None OF
the new men will be discharged. The
deputies are being paid off to-day and
relieved from duty. Over eighty Of the
old men at the Mammoth plant went in
to-day. Many idle plants are also max
ing preparations to resume.
There was a small riot at the Valley
plant last night. A hundred Poles
started to raid the houses of the men
who had returned to work. Dan Shoup
and George Potterield were handled
very roughly, and promised not to so to
work. Shoup has sworn out warrants
against his assailants.
BY next Monday it is thought all the
plants in the region will be in full op-
Grafton.
Events Of the day show the strikers
have had one too many burdens thrust
upon them. They stood up brayely in
the face of evictions that rendered hun.
dreds homeless. They were idle and
comparatively peaceful when hundreds
of imported workmen came to take their
places. They faced every sort Of priya-
tion; and did not murmur when the
promises Of their leaders to pro-
vide ample funds were not realized,
but when the leaders began to quarrel
among themselves, and began to sacri-
fee the men rather than their position,
the strikers began to rebel. Late ad-
vicesfrom all points in-the Fegion-go-to
show a dozen new plants will start
within week and though thousands
will remain out until their leaders order
them to return, thousands will apply for
work within. the next few days.
