OUT FROM THE HUMP
Work Progressing Rapidly on the Big
Buffalo Group.
More Money offered the Preiehtefs to Spur
Them to Extra EXertionS.

FROM SATURDAY DalIy'
Messrs. Silverman, Sweeny and
Collinder, the promoters of the Big
Buffalo syndicate owning the Big
Buffalo, Merrimac and Orc Fine
claims on Buffalo Hump, arrived
out from the property last evening
after a hurried trip Of inspection.
They were taken in and brought
back over the Badger road by Sam
Newell. One of the incidents of
the trip occurred when they passed
the freighters who were hauling
freight for the syndicate; the stuff
being heavy, the roads breaking
up and the work on the teamsters
being very hard, the gentlemen
voluntarily gave them one dollar
per day per team extra, over and
above the contract price, to induce
the freighters to make extra exer-
tions in order to hurry the sup
plies into the mill-site on Winslow
canyon. Some Of the freight has
already reached there, but it is not
arriving fast enough to keep the
force of mill wrights employed,
and temporary inactivity conse-
quently prevails in that part of the
work.
Upon the Big Buffalo the shaft
has been sunk to a depth Of 25
feet, and the ledge in that distance
widened four feet, making it's
width at that point AZ feet from
wall to wall. The representatives
of the syndicate express them
selves as being not SO well satisfied
with the property on it's present
showing, as on former visits, and
we are given to understand that
an effort is to made to effect CON-
promise with the original owners
for an extension of time on the
payments as made in the original
bond. The gentlemen think the
property was placed at too high a
valuation in the first place and
wish to make better terms. The
values Of the ore at the bottom
of the 25 foot shaft, as represented
by them, has fallen considerably
below that of the groupings upon
which the original purchase price
was based, and upon this ground
they think that some sort of COM
promise ought to be made to justify
them in interesting the enormous
amount of capital required to meet
the payments of$675, OcO as stipula-
ted in the bond.
Meanwhile, there are about fifty
men busily at work opening up the
Big Buffalo, and as they 60 down
on the shaft the character Of the
ore is changing and it's economic
value will have to be determined
later.
And thus the matter rests.

Want Increased Wages.

The employees OF the Wheeling steel
works yesterday morning formally no.
tilted Manager C. r. Hubbard of their
demands for an advance In wages. The
notice to this effect and the scale de.
sired by the men were submitted by
their committee to Mr.. Hubbard. who
replied that he would consider their re-
quests and investigate the proffered
scale, and that he would be ready to
confer with the committee within q few
days. Either party must give thirty
days notice OF change In the agree
ment.
The increase Is asked for by the ton
mage and day men. 1t provides for a 10
per cent Increase for the day men, but
averages from 10 to % per cent for the
tonnage men, who want the scale In ef-
feet In 1897. The tonnage men got n
reduction about year ago. In which
the day mems wages were not cut. That
Is why the advance asked for now APP
pears TO be greater for the tonnage than
the day men. Mr.. Hubbard will look
over the 1897 scale and the men are
hopeful ne will agree to It, for they
think existing conditions Justify their
demand.
Negotiations for wage advance Will
shortly be opened by the puddlers at
this plant. Preliminary meetings to
this end have been held. and the COM

.ABOUTTHIRTY FEET.
Will be the Top Notch OF the Rise
in the River Here.
SOME ANXIETY WAS FELT
Yesterday When the River was Ris-
Ing Three and Four Inches an Hour,
but the Welcome News that tho

Will not Inconvenience Anybody.

The prediction in yesterdays Intelll-
gepcer. that the Ohio would reach a
stage on the present rise ranging from
thirty TO thirtg-hve feet, was received
with surprise In this community, and
in some quarters 1t was almost dis
!, credited, owing 10 the fact that there
chad been no previous warning. Last
night at midnight, the marks showed
IS feet and still rising, and 1t is .bellev-
ed the thlrty-foot mark Will be reached
this morning before the rise Is checked.
Certainly not much more than thirty.
feet wilt be had.
Throughout the day. Captain Crock
ard and the wharfboat attaches were
besieged with anxious inquirers, both in
person. and by telephone, who expressed
thelrifears that a forty-foot stage would
be had, Such a report had become
generally circulated through the city,
and caused a great deal Of needless
alarm. To all 'inquirers, Captain Crock
ard said that the river would reach a
stage between thirty and thlrty-two
feet on the rise. though more water
might come In the event that oil the
little side streams not heard from put
out strongly.
The morning report from Pittsburgh
was encouraging. Although there was
2l2 feet at Pittsburgh and still rising.
the several points along the two head
water streams all reported the water
falling. SO 1t was known that the top-
notch at Pittsburgh was nearly reach
ed. In the afternoon. Commodore Hen
derson telephoned Captain Crockard
that the river was falling at Pitts
burgh. This Information was received
with satisfaction.
Thirty feet of water here will not in
convenience anybody. Thirty three feet
would have entered some OF the cellars
intthe Main street wholesale district and
houses on the low lying ground in the
lower part Of the city. Residents In the
southern end OF the city and in upper
Benwood were prepared for the worst,
but none of them will likely have, to
move out.
Il Captain Crockard received several In
quir!es from down-thc-river points, in
Guiding Slstersville and New Martins
Vile, and when he stated that not ex-
ceeding tiirty-two feet would be had
here, relief was expressed by the in
quirers who had called up over the long
distance telephone.
About the only people inconrenienced
by the high water We're the patrons o.
the Wilson yacht ferry line. whose land
ing at the upper end of the wharf was
shut off early in the evening.
Owing to the floods in the lower val
ley, the Ohio River railroad shut off the
sale of tickets to points below Point
Pleasant yesterday. This included CAL
llpolls Ferry. Glenwood, Guvandotte.
Huntington and kenova. 1t is suppos-
ed the llne.will be open again to-day.

He sends her to 4 fashionable boarding
