TWO FLOODED MINES

DAM NOW THE OBJECTIVE POINT

Pumping Cnjinclty of tho Nottluc

A very comprehensive account of the
pumping operations at the Hooded
Avondale and Nottingham mines Is
contained In the current report of the
Anthracite Coal Operators' associa
tion. The article In question indicates
that the two collieries will be In op
eration before many months. It Is as
follows:
The problem of pumping the water In
the Nottingham and Avondale mines Is ut
last definitely solved. The water lilted to
the pumps a short distance below the
Fifth Lift west of the underground slope.
In the Bed Ash seam of the Nottingham,
at 1 p. m. Saturday, May the 8th. The
pump wero started and proved of ample
At 4 p. m, Saturday, May tho Sth, the
Lehigh and Wllkes-Barre Coal company
demonstrated Its ability to do .great and,
In a surprisingly short time, excellent
work.
In only three weeks after becoming
convinced that It would have to pump
the water, three batteries of Habcook
& Wilcox steam boilers of GOO tons horse
power each were placed, housed and
completed on the surface.
Five large pumps additional to the two
already there, and four moio at the shaft,
besides the tvo already at that point, to
gether with all the necessary column and
steam pipes leading from the pumps to
the surface, were laid, so that when they
were sturted nil ran smoothly and without
a hitch.
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
The west hoisting compartment of the
shaft had to be utilized to give room for
the steam and column pumps, nnd tho
pumps and pipe occuoy the spaco In tho
trucks leading from the bottom of shaft
to the Itei Ash slope, but all the workings
east of tho shaft and In the Boss scam arc
available for mining at present. Only one
cage ran be ued for hosting In the shaft.
At Avondale the Delaware, l'flckawanna
and 'Western has put In four large pumps
nnd vsed the Boss shaft for the pipes.
They are sinking the water at tho rate
of about two feet u day, and pumping It
to the surface at cue lift. This will llkly
be the point where all the water will
have to b., pumped, and It Is now Intend
ed, when tho wnter Is lowered to th
ilam. to locate tho permenent pumps
there, and have nil the watir pumped di
rectly to the surface through the Boss
Miaft.
The main shaft of Avondale and the air
shaft will then be fiee for service In
working tho remaining coal from the No.
2 Slope, which Is separated from tho
source of the water by ample pillars.
When tUs Is done, and It Is now demon
strated to bo practicable, the standing
water can goon be pumped out of the Not
tingham, and the extra pumps taken out
of the way. When thU Is done, which
will be btfore long, the Nottingham and
Avondale collieries will again become
large producers.
To a Tribune reporter It was stated
by a Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern ofllclal yesterday that the water
In the Avondale had been lowered
about 45 vertical feet and that there Is
a little more than 100 feet of water to
be removed before the dam Is reached.
Through the dam the water enters the
Nottingham and the pumping in the
latter mlno Is only befng attempted at
a capacity sufficient to keep the flow
level with the Avondale dam.
PUMPING OUT WATRB.
When the Avondalo pumps remove
the water above the dam the entire
pumping capacity of the Nottingham
will be utilized and the mine cleared.
It will be from seventy to u hundred
and twenty-five days before the Avon
dale dam Is reached though1 the work
may be hastened if the Lehigh and
Wllkes-Harre company, which owns the
Nottingham, decides to tap tho Avon
dale dam.
In that case the pumps of the two
mines would be at work on a common
body of water.
It Is reported that mining operations
will be resumed In the Hoss shaft if the
water and column pipes It now contains
will permit the Installing of an ade
quate counter-hoisting apparatus. This
report could not bo confirmed yester
day, but it Is3 cm rent talk In mining
circles.
IN THE TOILS OF UNCLE SAA1.
Jennie Hobblns Charged with Ilnv
iug lllegnlly Sold Liquor.
Jennie Bobbins was taken before
United States Commissioner Milo J.
Wilson yesterday nfternoon, charged
with Belling liquor without having paid
the special United States tax. Deputy
Marshal Walters was the prosecutor.
The evidence of the prosecution was
that Miss Robblns when approached
by Marshal Walters said that she was
the proprietor of the place, which is
located In the market block on Lacka
wanna avenue. There was conclusive
evidence that liquor was sold.
The defense of Miss Bobbins was that
she had applied for a United States li
cense on June 1. The warrant, how
ever, mentioned May 31 as the date
of the misdemeanor. The Robblns wo
man said that she lied when she stated
to the marshal that she was the pro
prietor of the place on May 31. She
did not take possession until June 1.
Commissioner Wilson held her In $200
ball to appear at the next session of
the United States court for this dis
trict. She was given until this morn
ing to furnish the bondsman. Attor
neys Beale and Boyle represented the
defendant.

MARKET FOR COAL
IS MUCH STRONGER
Weakness Shown In the Middle of April
lias Entirely Disappeared.
DEALERS ARE LAY1NQ IN A SUPPLY
TliorAro Dolus This iu Expoctntlon

Thus l'nr This Ycnr Ilnvo llcon
Nearer to the Dcmnndsot tlio.Mnrkot
Tlinn nt Any Tlrao Slnco INK I.
J'rolinblo Consumption During
tho Ycnr Is KstlmntcU.
"During the past month the market
for anthracite coal has become notice
ably stronger," says the June letter of
tho Anthracite coal operators. "What
little weakness was shown In the mid
dle of April has entirely disappeared,
and prices are being held nearer to the
net circular than at any time within
the past three years,
"Thus far there has been no marked
activity In buying, but dealers who re
quire a large tonnage and have carried
small stocks, have commenced laying
In their supplies at present prices In
anticipation of an advance. To those
more familiar with existing conditions
In the trade, it Is evident that there Is
little prospect of any decline In prices
and every reason for an Increase at an
early date. It was generally expected
that a new tidewater circular would be
Issued by some of the companies on
the first of June, but Instead, the price
is being brought nearer to the existing
Circular, and when a new one Is an
nounced, which will likely be during
this month, there will not be a wide
difference between It and the actual
prices received.
AS TO SHIPMENTS.
"The shipments thus far this year
have been nearer to the demands of the
market than at any time slnco 1894,
and owing to this, it has been possible
to materially reduce the heavy stock
of roal resulting from the over-production
during the last months of 1896. The
shipments for the first five months of
the year, as compared with previous,
have been as follows:
Tons.
ISO.! 15,B75,SOO
jf93 16,'J0,AH)
1S91 13.iW),5)0
1893 1B.5SUW
1890 15,bM,W0
1897 13,05O,0W
"It Is evident that when buying be
gins for the winter supply, the price
will undoubtedly advance materially,
as most of the tonnage must come
from freshly mined coal, and In view
of the long depression In the trade, It
might be in a position to fully meet
this call upon them.
"It Is estimated that the market re
quirement for June will be about 2,
500,000 tons, and it Is not probable that
the shipments for that month will ma
terially exceed this figure.
PRODUCTION FOR THE YEAR.
"There has been some discussion as
to the probable consumption during
the current year, and various estimates
from 37,000,000 to 43,000,000 tons have
been made. It is argued on one side
that bituminous coal, gas and oil have
displaced a large anthracite tonnage,
and together with the depressed indus
trial conditions, the market for hard
coal will be limited throughout the
year. On the other hand it Is claimed
that while competition from the other
fuels has undoubtedly had a. serious
e'feot In contracting the market for
unthracite, the principal difficulty Is
that, owing to the long continued in
dustrial depression, consumers have
been compelled to purchase less than
usual, and when trade again revives,
tho consumption will largely Increase.
"It seems hardly possible that this
year should be greatly different from
the many that have passed. There has
beer a steady Increase In the consump
tion of this fuel since mining first be
gan, nnd the Industrial conditions now
are no worse than they have been
many times before. Frequently, In the
history of the trade, persons of pessl
lniLtlc tendencies have predicted that
',n this or that year of unusual produc
tion the limit had been reached, and
that thereafter no greater amount of
the coal could be absorbed. But quite
as often these prophecies have been
pi oven fnise.
CONSUMPTION HAS INCREASED.
"Thi consumption has Increased In
nearly the same ratio as before, and It
will likely continue doing so for some
years to come, though now there Is a
more serious competition in the In
creasing use of gas for domestic pur
poses thun In the past.
"Tho production for the first five
months of any year has not been less
than 32 per cent., and as high as 39
per cent, of the year's output. In view
of the general depression in the trades
thus far this year and the encouraging
signs of a decided revival In manufac
turing, It is impossible to estimate with
any accuracy what proportion of the
year's output the spring consumption
wl'I represent. If there Is no material
change in the conditions, as seen now,
it might he assumed that the first five
months' output will not be more than
34 per rent, of the year's production,
which, on that basis, would be a little
over rs.000,000 tons. It does not seem
probable that the consumption will be
less than this figure, and, If there Is
any marked Improvement In industrial
affairs, the chances are that It will be
nearer to 40,000,000 tons, if not more."
If the consumption reaches 40,000,000
tons, as now seems probable, there will
ie much more work done in the mines
hereabouts during the remainder of
the year than there has been thus far.
THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION.
Will He Conducted Tonight at the
Armory on Adams Avenue.
The board of physical examiners will
meet all applicants for the West Point
cadet appointment at the armory on
Adams avenue at 8 o'clock tonight and
examine them as to their physical fit
ness for the appointment, Uncle Sam
being quite as much concerned about
the physical as he is about the mental
make-up of tho young men he receives
at West Point.
The examination will be conducted
by the regular board of surgeons of the
Thirteenth regiment, which consists of
Drs. Fulton, Parke and .Keller.

NEW BREAKER ASSURED.
It Will He Ilullt by Wyoming Land
nnd Conl Compniiy.
The Wyoming Coal and Land com
pany has decided to erect a breaker in
place of the Hunt breaker which wns
destroyed by fire last week. The burn
ed building was owned by the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany, It will be recalled, and was only
leased by tho Wyoming company. The
new breaker will be built by the latter
company, nnd it will be located on
their own land, about a half mile north
of tho one burned. Surveyors were on
the ground Tuesday, says the Plttston
Gazette, making preliminary surveys,
nnd the exact site for the new build
ing will be decided upon within a few
days. The details have not yet been
arranged, but Dr. Rice, tho general
manager, says the new breaker will
have a capacity of 1,000 tons a day.
The work of building will be Btarted
as soon as possible. A report Is in cir
culation that the mine will continue In
operation and the coal stocked until
the breaker Is ready to prepare it, but
Dr. Rice says there Is no truth In the
report.
