Tho contract for the Jeancsvllle strip ping has not been awarded, and the gen eral opinion now Is that It will not be given out for tho present. Surveyors have been at work lu measuring tho routes from No. 4 slope to the No. 1 breaker and will map out the one which is shortest and most practical to work on. While nothing official Is as yet given out It Is tho opinion of many now that instead of giving tho strlppngs out tho company wll make ready to hoist coal from No. 4 but It may be some tlmo yet before such will bo done. It is thought, however, thut Is will bo before the winter sets In. Several capitalists from Philadelphia visited Stockton last week and viewed tho machine shops, for which they aro negotiating. They propose starting a glass and pressed coal brick works and if a satisfactory agreement can bo reached they will nt once begin to re model the buildings.
