Not Half of the CoIIieries In shenan- doah District I'm Shape to Open Now. Were the Strike to
 Re Declared or.

< SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. 7.-Wil- liam Stein, the state mine inspector for the Shenandoah region, announces that five collieries under his jurisdic- ton which have an estimated value of S1,50O,O GOO have been rendered useless by reason of having been flooded and have been permanently abandoned Dy fhe companies owning them. Four of them-Bear Run, East Bear Ridge, Ko- hinor and Preston No. 3-belong to the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, and he places their value at about $3OO,0O0 each. The oth- CT colliery is the Lawrence and is owned by the Sheafer estate of Potts vile and also represents about $3OO,- 900.
 MT. Stein estimates that, out of the thirty-six colIieries in his district only fourteen are in a condition for imme- diate operation if the strike were end ed. The others are in such a condition that it would require anywhere from one to four months to clear them of water and make repairs. He said the average time would be about two months
 The abandonment of the five collier ies will compel 2,0O0 mine workers to seek employment in other parts of the region,s and they may have trouble in finding it if the thousands of men who have left the region during the strike should return. This condition of af- fairs, the mine inspector said, is se- rious matter not only with the compa- nies, but also with the men. After the strike shall have been ended most of the workmen will have to remain in idle ness for another period of time until the collieries are placed in working condition.
 In the coalfields south of here, MT: Stein said, the situation is about as bad. But in the Wyoming and Lacka- wanna region the mines are in much better condition. The mine inspectors statement created considerable inter est here, as it confirmed the belief of some of the coal company officials that a full resumption of coal mining will not take place this year and in conse- quence the tendency of coal prices will be upward rather than downward.
 The situation so far as the peace of the Shenandoah region was concerned remains unchanged. Two companies of infantry are still kept on guard du- ty in the town, one at the Reading rail- way station, in 8 foreign settlement, and the other at the Pennsylvania rail- road station, close to another foreign c0lonv

the onlcokers and their fiendish shrieks
and laughter echoed through the depot.
Few or them were apparently diseased
