Richmond, Va, Sept 27.--
The question of whether or not
the mines of the Empire Coal

opened has been definately dc.
cided.
The receivers of this compa-
ny, A. X. Morrison and II. Har-
daway, have issued orders to
open the Seaboard. and Coul
dan operations as soon az pos.
sible and all available help is
being pressed into service in
order to get everything in read
mess for the opening of these
mines as soon as possible. The
receivers have received orders
for large shipments OF coal and

which will warrant them in re.
opening the mines of the COM
pany. The company is badly
IN need of three hundred miners
and ut least fifty coke oven
men, rs it is necessary to pro-
cure n sufficient number
mining men to fill the orders
under their new contracts.
The correspondent visited the
operation of the company today
and was informed by Mr.. Zigler
general superintendent that
every man now on the Job was
busy and that everything was
being done to get the mines in
working order. The mines of
this company have been closed
down fourteen months and dur
ing that time the roll mas been
limited to few men whom il
was necessary to keep in order
to protect the property of the
company.
Mr.. Zigler and the other men
who have been at these works
during the shutdown period
are rejoicing that the minee
and coke ovens are soon to be
running at full blast.
This is good news for Rich.
lands and when the company
gets it's mines in operation it
will mean great deal to the
merchants of Richlands.

The case went to the Supreme
Court, where Gen, Ayers was
represented by Hon. john Ran.

Gen. Ayers bravery in daring
