The Westinghouse Company has about
1000 persons at work on their lamp plant
and takes out enough Of the rare earths in
two or three months to keep their factory
running the rest Of the year.
In the same Texas region Mr.. Hess found
immense bikes with masses Of pure feldspar
thirty feet In diameter and running theoret-
ically about II per cent in potash. This
deposit has never been worked commercial
ly, but probably will be used ultimately in
the manufacture Of potash fertilizer.
Among some Of the other trophies Of the
chase that he brought back with him was
piece of rose quartz, from a vein in Cali
fornia The vein was not visited, owing
to the pressure of other work, but 1t was
said to run thirty feet wide. Rose quartz
neither expensive nor common but such a
deposit is very rare and it is likely to pay
well for working.

HANDLED DAILY TO PUT
THE TRACKS IN GOOD
SHAPE.

WHEELING, Feb. 4.-since the re
cent flood on the Ohio and the conse
quent damage to the o. R. division. q
large force of men has been kept busy
at work making track repairs. The
public has no conception of the amount
of work being done.
Just now there are about $50 mer
at work on the track and there il
being used from fifty to sixty car loads
day of Stag and other ballasting ma
terial. 1t will take, at this rate, over
three weeks of hard work to get the
road back to the condition which the
flood found and marrei.
The purpose is to place the road in
better shape than ever before and the
Z. & o. Railroad Company now shows
an inclination to let loose of some
money to make the improvements.
1.-THE public does not know what re.
ally is being done or what has to be
DONE said Superintendent Bryan last
evening.
In this connection railroad men have
remarked that when railroad com.
pany does not make schedule time
they arc condemned and II they dc
take chances and an accident results,
No account is ever taken of the hard

RivesviIle Notes

RIvESyILLE. Feb. THE weather
Is again showing up favorable for the
Parkers Run Coal Company 70 push
It's work which the company intends 70
do. Shipping BY water is not as con.
yenient as by rail. but with the I'D.
vantages on other lines Of which the
company Is possessed, the index finger
of business for the work is pointing
toward bright future. There is
strong sentiment in favor of cutting
or mining block of the Parker run
coal for the purpose of sending it to
the jamestown exposition. One sim.
liar to that shipped to the Centennial
at Philadelphia in 1876, only a larger
block and several citizens have ex.
pressed themselves as willing to do.
nate labor and money toward the ex.
hibit of the coal in that manner. The
company has not been interviewed as
to the affair as yet and It is not known
as to what view would be taken by
those authoritatively in a position to
act, but 1t is an evident fact that a
block could now be gotten out with
much greater skill than the one which
attracted the attention of thousands
of people at the centennial before.
The block referred to was taken from
the part Of the company's holdings
known as the VIM. Hayhurst farm and
is said to have been nine feet long
and the thickness of the vein, which
is about six and one half or seven feet
OF solid coal. Should the company
see fit to exhibit the coal In the man
ner mentioned 1t will be much more
convenient to mine their exhibit from
the new established opening one quar-
ter of a mile from Rivesville, having
the advantage of tipple to handle
the block also access to the river AMI
railroad for shipment.
Remember the sewickley coal, 30
feet above the Pittsburg, fac smile to
the then world wonder at the centeu.
NAL in 1876. Hurrah for Rivesville,
five years older than Chicago, little but
old, and at last right here with the
goods.
A telegram reached here Saturday
evening stating that Mr.. Jasper viii.
son, who is Ill of typhoid fever at Lake
land, Florida. was much worse and
his son Esta who is teaching school
in this section at once enlisted SUBJ
stitute and has gone to the bedside OF
his father. The many friends Of the
family are anxiously awaiting the
news that Mr.. Wilson's illness is not
so critical as reported.
Later-word has just reached here
that Mr.. Wilson died last evening
at six o'clock. His remains will be
brought home for interment.

win Extend Block system.

Officials of the Pennsylvania lines
west nave about completed plans for
the extension of the block system on
all main and branch lines west of this
city. The entire Cincinnati & Muskin
gum Valley railroad, part of the Rich,
mond and part of the Louisville livi.
sions are now taking up the attention
of the officials, and the smaller branch
lines will be taken up later.
Some time ago the Pennsylvania
railroad east of Pittsburg made nam.

system. The Baltimore & Ohio will
test the employees in the use of the
block system within the next week or
SO, and the Pennsylvania lines will
probably take similar action shortly.
