IMPROVEMENTS
Under Way by Coal Mining Company
at Salineville.

Salineville, July 10.--The Sterling
Mining Co., west of this village ex-
poets to soon complete arrangements
to remove the clay from under the
coal in their mine, and place the same
on the market. The work of removing
the clay from the rooms will entail
much labor on the part of the miners,
and will serve a two-fold advantage
to the company. It will enable the
miners to load big vein cars, which
carry several hundred weight more
and exclude the heavy work of push
ing cars from the rooms on the entry
an extra expense to the operators.
On the other hand the men will be
given steadier employment in remov-
ing the clay. A machine to grind t.
clay will be installed near the tracks
so that the product can be run direct
ly In the flats on the switch. All
electric motor will be used to run the
crusher the power furnished from
the power house at the mine. The
clay has been thoroughly tested by
several firms and pronounced all right
so that it is only matter of making
contracts for the output, and making
the necessary arrangement with the
miners to work the clay. If needed
the company will take up the clay in
all the rooms instead of Just wive
the tracks run over that part of the
small vein worked by the company
All arrangements are expected to be
completed before the end of this week
for the further working of the clay.

DON'T LIKE SMOKE
Malvern Citizens Kick on Fumes from
Factory.

Malvern, June 10.-The residents of
the south side of this village are max
ing big kick on account of the smoke
from the Robinson Clay Product fac
tory.
The annoyance from this source has
been so great that the residents are up
in arms. The smoke is heavily charged
with sulphur and the wind carries it
right into the residence portion of the
town, which makes 1t anything but
pleasant to the taste or smell.
Vegetation has also suffered severely
from this source, and it is next to i'm
possible to raise any flowers or shrub
berry of any kind as long as this nuis-
ance continues
A member of the company from Ak
ron was here last week and viewed the
damage which has been wrought. He
expressed himself as sorry, and said
the company would do all in its power
to remedy the evil, but just how to
combat this is question Meanwhile
the citizens must breathe the sulphur
laden air.
