Plenty uf Coal.

Mr.. LeDuc has reaped quite harry
est with his coal digger during the
last week or so. There is not day
but that he manages to dig" twelve
to fifteen tons and is often out only a
few hours at time.
Work has proven much easier since
the fifteen foot flood of last week,
which has either deposited more coal
or shifted the old deposits in such a
way as to make them more accessible.
Some of the coal extracted is quite
large in size corresponding to egg coal.
Each night the coal digger steams
up to town and ties up a short dis
tance below the Water Works where
the coal is unloaded and the day fol-
lowing it is drawn up the bank and
delivered. The coal of the smaller
size is being sold to the Borough for
use at the Water Works. 1t is much
superior in quality 10 the river coal
shipped from Sunbury.

CANAL BRIDGES
TO COME DOWN

| The Borough Council Friday night
came near having no quorum Up to
! late hour but six members were pre-
sent: Vastiue, Reifsnyder, Welliver,
Montgomery, Joseph Gibson and Lloyd.
Burgess Pursel was also present.
When it became likely that a
quorum could not be obtained the
members settled down into an inform
al session. Surveyor G. f. Keefer of
! Sunbury being present the COnversa-
/ ton turned to paving. Sam a. Nc
| Coy of the Committee appointed by
the Board of Trade to circulate petl-
tion was present to gain some intorma-
tion as to the probable cost of street
paving.
Mr.. Keefer very Willingly gave the
councilmen the benefit of his extended
experience on the subject enlarging, on
the different methods employed the
quality of the brick used. etc. The
cost, he explained, will depend upon
many things. but principally on the
kind of brick 1t is safe, he said, to
estimate the cost at 81. 45 to sl.60 per
square yard.
l: was clearly brought out during
the discussion that the pavement can
not be laid during the present fall.
Such work is never begun at this sea-
son. Preparation, however, will go
light on and interest in the work will
be kept up to the end that the pave
ment may be laid for the first thing in
the spring.
BY that time it is probable that
vitrified brick may be manufactured
in DanvilIe. In that event the cost
would be materially reduced below
the figure named by Mr.. Keefer.
