ONE MINE TO RESUME.

In all probability the Archibald COL
liery owned and operated by the Della
ware, LaCkawanna and Western COM
pany, will resume operations on or
about Sept. a. This means that about
$50 men and boys will be given work
for which they have long looked for,
and especially welcome is this fact now
that winter is approaching.
Another fact connected with the re-
sumption which would give great satis-
faction, which, according to previous
reports, is possible, will be the en-
ployment only of English-speaking g
workmen. a great many of the for
eign-speaking workmen left the valley
when the period of slack operations
began and it was then announced,
though not officially, that their places
would he filled by the English-speak-
ing men wherevef opportunity af-
forded.
The mine has been idle for nearly
eight months. Considerable repairs
have been made inside and outside and
1t is now almost a model colliery. Two
new foremen will be in charge when
operations are resumed. Joseph Lloyd,
inside foreman, will be succeeded by
Henry Harris, now assistant inside
foreman at the Holden colliery. Will
liam II. Fern, outside foreman, will be
succeeded by William Il. Thornton, al
present outside foreman at the oxford.
