I. j. Conley 10 talking OF moving to
Independence in the near future. II
is not certain just what is making the
people leave; some think there is 90.
ing To be n boom at Independence.
while others think that the Furnace
might start and those that are leaving
want to get out of the rush.
There was some parties here few
days ago looking around. We are not
certain what they thought OF the place
They made some inquiry as TO some
matters about the furnace and the
mine They wanted to know who
was the superintendent of tho ore
mines when they were running last
and the coal mines also. They were
Informed that Mr. George Cummings
was in charge and had charge several
years before the furnace shut down,
and they could find him at Tunnelton,
as he is the boss miner at that place.
They went away and IL is not certain
whether they called on Mr.. Cummings
or not but hope they will and get the
information they want and come back
and go to work. JACK TURTLE.
