A Long Wait.

Friday evening about twenty Odd
Fellows Of this place went to Punxsu-
tawney to attend a session of the Gra nd
Lodge held at that place and they made
arrangements with the Jefferson Trac-
tion Co. for special car to leave PUNK
sutawney at one o'clock TO bring them
to Reynoldsville. The Odd Fellows got
around on time, but the conductor aud
motorman we're just ready to go home
and refused to run the car to Reynolds
vile because they had received ord, RS
not to make the trip. II Is hardly
necessary to add that the Reyn-
oldsville men were indignant for
being treated in that manner. On ac-
count of high water the car had hecn
stopped at Elk Run, a half mile above
Punxsutawney's business section, and
rather than walk back to hotel at til at
hour of the night, the passengers re-
mained In the trolley car from LOO a.
m. to 600 a. M, when first car left for
Reynoldsville. The power was not
turned off and the car was warm and
we'll lighted, but the sleeping accom-
modations we're not extra.
We understand that the reason the
company issued orders not to run the
special car to this place was because
the company thought there were only
four or five passengers to come over and
the track was not in safe condition.

RICH COPPER STRIKE.
Glasgow Co., Opens Up Pot of Wealth
In New Ground.

Assays on samples Of ore from the new
strike in the properties OF the Glasgow
and Western Exploration Company out
Of Golconda yesterday told of the pres
ence of 10 per cent copper and SIS ounces
silver, with $4.20 gold per ton. Col. joe
Farren, general superintendent Of the
property, to whom the returns were made
says of the new ore body that while the
extent of it had not been determined
when the forces were dismissed for the
holidays, the vein through which the cut
was run at the surface revealed a width
of sixty feet, and he has no doubt that
this strength has been maintained at
greater depth. The new disclosure is
on Peacock ground in the Adelaide
group of mines, and is 5000 feet distant
from any ground that has previously
been worked. Already it opens up pos
sibilities that compare with any in the
history OF the undertaking, aud that
orders will follow the annual meeting in
Glasgow to prepare for the operation on
mills and smelter the approaching sea
son is most likely. In other portions of
the company's big domain work is pro-
crossing with equally satisfactory results
and at no time has the outlook been so
assuring.

Vadner made arrangements for the

bunk house erected at the mine and is
large enough to accommodate several
men in case it is found necessary to in
crease the force. A stable has also been
built a short distance from the mine.
The property is said to be looking
good and no doubt before Spring opens
there will probably he several mel at
work.
Mr.. Vadner will spend most of his
time at the mine and proposes to 60 into

MEMO, NEW, AN. U, lJOt.
The analysis of water throughout the
State has for some time back engaged
the attention of the Department of
Chemistry. As a consequence, the au-
alysis of soil samples. which was first
delayed by fire and then by lack of
proper facilities for their analysis, has
been compelled to suffer neglect, because
of the almost exclusive attention of the
Department to the current work that
was sent into the laboratory. 1t is de-.
sired now to complete the analysis of the
soil samples at the very earliest OPP
p~ortunity and, therefore, we take this
method OF giving notice to the friends in
the State that for a few months they will
confer a favor by not sending any
samples for analysis, unless it be in the
case of an epidemic OF diseases in some
portions of the State.
Yours respectfully.
