MINING INMATES.
THE WEST END.

The Hull and Burke properties
of the consolidated groupe here
commenced shipping ore on FRI
day of last week. The ship.
ments from the two miues now
average from IS to 70 cars per
day. The working shaft at the
Rust, of the same group, was
completed last week and will be
among the early shippers this
season. This plant is we'll equip
ped with pumps and hosting
machinery and with little prepa-
ration will be capable of produc
ing a large amount of ore. The
quality of the ore at this mine is
superior, being of the dark blue
variety.
At the Mahoning things are
being put in readiness for early
shipments, and it is expected
that the requirements of this
mine may be something like
100000 tons for the season.
With the present facilities and
conditions here it will be aa
easy matter to produce the above
amount during the shipping
season with single day shift.
Winston Bros. & Dear already

his hostess's spoons Mt dinner party,
and whose pockets were invariably
searched by his mau on his return,
with view to prompt restitution.
In another case lady, who was
quite rational upon other points, was
discovered to have fifteen bags con-
cealed abont her, in which we're over
eleven hundred little articles which
she had stolen and concealed, al
though nearly every Que was abso-
lutely worthless. A clergyman has

there has been ciss OF man who
