Transportation 10 ihe Mines.

The Merchants Retail AssocI.,..vA
met Thursday night with commit
tee OF the miners organization to de.
wise plans for securing transportation
facilities to and from the mines. A
committee was appointed to confer
with Captain Wiley and seek to enlist
his efforts to induce the Company &c
put on motor cars to be run night
and morning between this city and
the mines. The miners complain
that they have poor school facilities
and uncomfortable means Of living at
the mines. In winter time 1t Ia
almost impossible to 60 to their work,
II they live in town. Unless they can
secure transportation by rail they
will be compelled for the most part to
live at the mines They believe that
1t will make it easier for the company
to keep full force of miners If this
accommodation is afforded. The
Company mines employ about SOC
hands.
If this effort of the miners and
merchants is successful it will be
necessary to provide larger number
OF rental cottages. The town IL
