A NEW SYSTEM FOR MINING COAL
COLLIERIES WILL GIVE ENCHANTING
WORK OUT TO THE LOWEST BIDDER.

HAzLEToN, July I6.-The several
coal companies in this vicinity are
making extensive preparations to mine
coal on much larger scale than here
tofore at the several colleries in this
region. The Lehigh Valley Coal
Company leads in this respect. Next
month they take hold of the Stockton
collieries, which have been operated
unde. lease by Linderman & Skeer
for number of years.
At their Jeanesvlle colieries the
company proposes to begin new sys
tenn of mining coal at their strippings.
Instead Of doing the work themselves
as heretofore they propose to give it
out by contract and have the lowest
bidder cut and transport the coal to
the colllery. In this way it is believed
that they can do it much cheaper than
by the old system. In this line, an
immense contract calling for the ex-
cavation of nearly 5000 900 cubic
yards of earth, is to be given out al
Sugar Loaf and No. 3 collieres.
L. A. Riley & Co. have commenced
the sinking of new slope at German,
town. The Germantown collieries
have not been operated for twenty
years and were supposed to have been
worked out. According to the plans
prepared, the mines will be the largest
in the country and will have resources
greater than any other now in opera.
ton. After sinking the slope 500 feet
below the surface tunnels will be
driven across the basin, tapping the
mammoth vein. A tunnel will also
be driven to the Lykens Valley weir
on the South Side, and a gang way
driven from there to the Big Mine
Run draining tunnel, after which tht
water from the Old Germantown work
ings and Wadleigh veins will be tap
ped and run through this tunnel.
The contract for driving the tunnel
has not been given out yet, but will
be in the course of few days. TIL,
tunnels will be great saving to tn
company, inasmuch as the carrying o
the water to Big Mine Run drainag
way will do away with the massive
pumps now used at the Bast colllery
The territory thus connected by sub
terranean passageways is about twent
miles in extent and will give a direc
underground opening between Locus
Dale and Preston Hill, penetrating
two mountain chains.

Suit Against Luzerne Commissioners

WILKES BARRE, July I2.-About
nine months ago the County Commits
sioners Of Luzerne County advertised
for plans for new court house. The
terms OF Elijah J. Meyers, of Detroit,
were accepted. He was to be paid
$4,000 down and $4,000 when the
plans were completed. The newspa-
pers roasted the commissioners un.
mercifully for paying out any money
until the plans were accepted. To
add to the complications, no site
could be agreed upon, and later a
number Of taxpayers got out an in
junction 70 prevent the commissioners
from building at all. Meyers submit
tedhis plans six weeks ago, but the
commissioners said they could not
accept them. Meyers said that was
no fault of his. He had done his
work all right. The architect failing
to get his money has brought suit
against the commissioners to recover
