 Ghastly odor.
 A party of men who were working at the Greenup mine on the lower part of the Hog Back, yesterday afternoon went into the tunnel, from which a shaft is sunk, intending to go down for samples for eastern parties, were compelled to abandon their plans on account of the bad odor arising from the shaft. The smell was of charac- ter indicating that it emanated from deeomposed human body. The mat ter will, no doubt, be looked into by the proper authorities, to see if any one has fallen into the shaft. The property has been idle for some time.

There is now 125 foot shaft, with hoist and whim, bunkhouse and some other improve ments. They will continue sinking to a depth of 800 feet, hoping to widen the vein as they go down. They will run three shifts. More machinery will be ordered shortly.
