They Are
Reliable.

Saturday evening, Janaury 10Th, a
party of eight left the city for trip
around the Island on bicycles. The
list was made up of some Of the lead
ing wheels represented here, among
them a '9T Overland Special which is
handled by the HONOLULU BICYCLE
co The Overland was the only wheel
in the lot which made the trip without
trouble of any kind. OVERLANDS
are the kind of wheels that take you
away from home, and bring you back
again.
By the last Australia, we received a
few samples of the '9S OVERLANDS.
They are as much superior to the '97
product as daylight is superior to
darkness, and are without any eXcep-
tions. the most beautiful models, and
the highest grade wheels ever shown
here for anything near the price which
we shall sell them-$65 We defy all
competition, even at a, much higher
| figure.

who had been "a gallant wearer of the

put him at his ease, 1 told him the story
of Kershaw's magnificent reconnaissance

Joseph Il. Kershaw rode slowly up to the

BIG PAINT MINE
NEAR FACTORYVILLE
II Is Owned by a Number OF Scranton
Business Men.
WILL BEGIN OPERATIONS AT ONCE


A paint mine, near FactOryville,
owned by Scranton men, is to be oper-
ated at once. The necessary machin-
cry has been installed and as soon as
a few minor repairs are made opera
tions will begin. The mine is located
on creek leading from Lake st. John
and is one and half miles from Fac
toryville.
Ex-Mayor w. L. Connell is president
and ex-Sheriff F.. II. Clemons, secre-
tary and treasurer of the company.
Others interested are A. J. and ii. A.
Connell, John X. Davis, NJ. +. Worden
and II. c. Reynolds. They own thirty
acres lying between the bed of the
creek and the hilltop. Nearly all this
plot contains a mineral paint deposit,
the average thickness of which is
thought to be sixteen or eighteen feet.
The common but erroneous idea OF a
paint mine" is bank of red clay
which is dug out and mixed with oils
| to make il marketable and suitable for
! painting railroad cars and roofs. But
| this is not the case. The deposit is
mineral and has to be blasted out. 1t
| is then roasted, crushed in a disinte-
| crater and finally ground to powder
The product is packed in barrels and
| sold to the mixers" or wholesalers
the big paint dealers.
The mineral paint as it is taken from
the ground is a hematite iron ore, oXi-
| died A novice might describe it as
rotten iron ore and not be far amiss,
as small piece of it has about the
| same consistency as a piece of hard
shale rock II is too hard however &c
be mined with a pick. Powder is nee
| essary to remove it from its bed. At
| ter being roasted il is crushed in dis
| integrater to about the size of chest
nut cCal TO facilitate its grinding.
In the grinding process horizontal
stones of the mill type are used. There
are two sets OF stones. The second
set grinds the mineral rs fine as flour
or to an impalpeble powder This re-
duced, the product is put in barrels
and sold to the mixer The mills at the
Factoryville mine have a capacity OF

is sold for S22 upward per ton.
AS received by the mixer the powder
is the primary ingredient or base fol
the manufacture of the final pain
in any color. The color of the Fac.
toryvlle powder is that most valued
nearly a Venitian red. 1t can be pre-
pared by the mixer into the various
tints used by the trade. Other mines
develop mineral paints of drab, brown
\ and yellow color according to the ma.
ture and effect of the iron In the de.

Atlantic City's Winter Charms.

The breeZes waited from the great
Atlantic at this season Of the year are
more healthful than all the drug stores
in Christendom, and Atlantic City is
greatly appreciated by people who have
escaped from business cares long
enough to enjoy the balmy air and
watch natures magnificent and ever
changing spectacle. The Philadelphia
and Reading route is the favorite line
between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City, being the most direct, equipped
throughout with Hall signals and com
pletely double tracked so that safety
is assured. The engines all burn hard
coal and the road is ballasted with an
thracite cinders, thus avoiding smoke
and dust, and securing the greatest
possible degree of comfort to it's pat
rons. Fast trains leave Chestnut and
South Street Wharves, Philadelphia, at
frequent intervals.

NEW PROCESS OF CLEANING COAL
Patent Granted on an Improved Slate
Machine tor Bre akers.

Patent Agent f. b. Patterson has
been successful in having awarded to
David w. Evans and Herbert Mat
hewsOn. of this city, letters patent on
a machine for separating coal from
slate. The special feature Of the ma
chine is TO overcome the obstacle en-
countered in the process by the slides
getting wet.
The fact of the coal being lighter
and of a more slippery or CLASSY ma
ture than the slate. and the slate be-
ing usually in fiat pieces and more in
clined to friction on the iron when it
is dry, makes the coal run faster in
the slides and consequently co@farther
