| ~-%IIEs&'/ and expect to be work
ing again on Monday. These preparations
are due to visit at that place yesterday by
number of prominent coal capitalists from
New York city and other places. The visitors
were the guests of Superintendent William
H. Lewis, at his VIM. Penn residence, and
remained with that gentleman over night
The party consisted Of Mr.. Joseph Stickney,
of the firm of stickney Conyngham & Co.,
of New York city; Mr.. Jesse Hilles, Balti-
more, Nd; Messrs John W. and James Boyd,
Frank Hanna and Robert jerks, New York
city. All these gentlemen have an interest
in the Lytle Coal Company of Minersvile
and the VIM. Penn Coal Company and Union
Coal Company of Shamokin. They reached
Minersvlle yesterday and after inspecting
the colleries at that place boarded Mr..
Stickney's private drawing room car May
flower" to Pottsville. After a short stop at
that town the officials continued their
lJbulntg ONtl but thLng lNhlld Adllloou
Company's line to VIM. Penn and alighted
when the car reached point on the new
branch of the road, at the rear of Superin-
tendent Lewis residence
1t was the intention of the party to make a
thorough inspection of the new WIN. Penn
breaker, but the arrival was made at about
six o'clock last evening when the rain storm
was heavy This changed all the plans and
the visitors remained as guests in Mr.. Lewis
magnificent house until this morning when a
brief inspection was made. The party then
proceeded to Shamokin in the May flower"
Mr.. jerks was the spokesman for the party.
He didn't have much to say. This is one
of our customary trips" said he, "and has no
particular significance. We have just made a
hurried inspection of our various collieries to
see that they are ready for operation"
1t is understood that as a result of the visit
the Lytle, VIM. Penn and Union Coal Com.
pany collieries will be put in full operation
next week
The miners at VIM. Penn have already
received their ORDERS Test operations will
be made at the new breaker tomorrow and
ON Monday steady operations will begin.
The new branch of the Pennsylvania railroad
which is to haul coal from the new breaker
to the junction at Wiggans from which
point the trains will take the Pennsylvania
short line for Philadelphia, via Frackville
and Pottsville, will also be formally opened
on Monday. The new road has been thor
oughly tested and is in first class condition.
When the colliery is in operation the
empty coal cars will be pushed from the main
line of the new railroad branch through a
cut and around a hill to tail track east of
the breaker. The cars will then be pulled
up on a straight track under the chutes of
the breaker and, when loaded, will be hauled
out to tail track lying northwest of the
breaker. When the trains are loaded and
ready for the journey they will be pulled
from the last named tail track over a curved
and very substantially built trestle back to
the cut where they will connect with the
new branch and run on to Wiggans.
When the colliery is in full operation the
capacity will be upwards of 1000 tons per
day. The colliery has been idle since last
Saturday, pending the arrangement for
starting the new breaker.
In regard to the Philadelphia and Reading
COmpany's collieries there has been no
official announcement, but gentleman who
is looked upon as an authority on local coal
operations, confirms the report made by the
HERALD last week that Indian Redge col
liery will resume ON June 1st. This gentle.
man also says he believes Shenandoah City
and West Shenandoah collieries will resume
operations at the same time.
As to the schedule that will be adopted
when these collieries do resume there is much
uncertainty. The unsettled condition of the P.
& r. Companys affairs in regard to the receiv.
ership and the fact that the upper regions have
a surplus Of coal sufficient to meet all de-
mands that may be made in the immediate
future for coal lead some to believe that it
will be some time before the P. & r. collieries
in this section will be justified in adopting a
full time schedule. The gentleman referred
to above thinks the working time will be
very irregular during the forepart and mid
die of the summer.
