ENSLEY ORDERS "CLEAN-UP'

Ensley May 27.-(Special.) 1.-The an nouncement that the steel corporation would resume it's industries here and in Wylam has caused renewed activity in real estate circles. As the mines are located in Vivian the notice that the mines will start Monday has caused many real estate deals to be made in and around that city. Several lsvge sales of Wylam property have been made in the past few days which in- dicates a restored confidence. It is stated a bulletin will be posted at the mine announcing the scale of wages under which the miners may return to work. The scale is practically tho same as the one heretofore, so no trouble Is anticipated in agreeing. The city of Wylam is enjoying a greater degree of confidence than at any time since the shutdown.
 EnsIey To Have "clean-up" Day.
 The city authorities have set apart Friday and Saturday as cleaning up day, and all trash and other accumu- lations will be moved away.

As this comes under police regulations the sanitary officers will be In charge of the working forces and anyone keeping a nuisance will be prosecuted.
