KNICKERBOCKER 70 RESUME.
The COlliery viii be Ready to Start
Next Tuesday.
MANY MINE WORKERS WILL REJOICE
The Remodelling of the Breaker Has Been
Completed Much Earlier Than Was
Anticipated-At Least Five Hundred
Workers Will be Benefited

The people of Yatesville and Jacksons, as
well as a large number of Shenandoah and
Mahanoy City, will be delighted TO hear that
operations will be resumed at the Kuickcr.
booker colliery, commonly called "Fowlers,'
at Yatesville, next Tuesday morning. The
intelligence will also be surprising, as it was
not expected that the extensive repairs and
alterations to the breaker undertaken six
weeks ago could be completed in less than
three or four months Night and day work
by an extra large force of carpenters has
brought the glad news much earlier than
expected.
The breaker of the colliery has been so
thoroughly overhaulcd that its old identity
is almost entirely lost and it is now one of the
best plants in the region. Thousands Of dol
lars have been expended in the alterations
and repairs and they have been carried out
on the same lines followed in the reconstruc-
tion Of the breaker at the Shenandoah City
colliery. All the most modern equipments
and appliances have been introduced for pre-
pairing the coal and it is expected that not
only will the capacity Of the coliery be in
creased, but the quality of the coal shipped
will be correspondngly improved, One i'm
portant change in the equipment is the
abolishmeut of the screen system All
screens have been replaced by the more
recent and approved shaker system. OF
course there has been general change in
the chutes, etc. and the jig plant has been
greatly increased to prepare the smaller coal
| through the washery system.
The Knickerbocker coliery is one of the
largest in this part of the region and gloom
was cast over many homes when operations
were suspended indefinitely six weeks ago to
allow the breaker to be rcmodelled. The
collery gives employment, inside and out
side, to from 500 to 575 men and boys and ac-
cording to the last annual official report pro.
duced 2O6, 32s tons of coal.

Church, last night by the ladies of ST.

lightful events Of the season, the in
formality Of the event adding much to
it's enjoyability
The basement of the church was filled
with members Of the congregation and
others, who had come to welcome the
new rector and have a sociable time,
and they did both. The first thing after
salutations had been exchanged was an
excellent musical programme, and all
that prevented its extending late into
the evening was the fact that encores
We're strictly tabooed and sternly
frowned down, despite the persistent
efforts of the audience to force the
singers to respond to them. After the
programme refreshments were served
by the ladies, and an era of social in
tercourse was inaugurated that round
ed out the evening. That Mr. Mel has
won his way into the hearts of his pa
rlshioners was fully demonstrated by
the cordial greetings given him. The
room was tastefully decorated, palms,
ferns and cfrysanthemuans being used
in artistic profusion and with yenchant-
ing effect.
