mines ready for operations. Many are
now ready to start. No doubt is ex-
pressed as to the result Of the conven.
tion at Columbus, and an order de-.
c!aring the strike off is expected before
the close Of the day. The mules that
have been enjoying the past two months
In pasture have been called in, and
blacksmiths at the mines have been
busy all week getting them ready for
work. District President Dolan of the
miners organization, was commended by
the operators for the stand he took in
the district convention. 1t is believed
that all the mines i'll the Pittsburg dis
trict will be in operation by Monday.

the city from Cleveland during the day
and are busy making contracts with the
producers for coal. There is no quib.
bling about prices. and 20 cents above
the mining price is the generally &C
cepted rate. These prices will likely be
maintained until after the lake con-
tracts are filed, when there may be al

hard fight, the opposition coming from
Illinois, Indiana and small mining
