Some few weeks since, the officers of the Spring Brook Water Supply com pany received bids for the construction of another stono dam on the head waters of Mill Creek, at the foot of Bald Mountain, about a mile nearer Plttston than the dam nearly finished last season, but the contract for the dam has not yet been awarded, and we understand that the bids are all considered too high. The company Is now considering the question of building the main or core wall of the dam of steel, but Mo con clusion has yet been reached In the matter. One of the reasons for the fact of the stonework costing so much is that the .stone must be transported a considerable distance. A steel dam Is considered practicable, but the cost Is the main point to be looked at. Pltts ton Gazette.

Warehouse LIVE NEWS OF WEST SCRANTON Closing Down of the Archbald Aline Is a Serious Mailer. MANY MEN THROWN OUT OP WORK I'lncf lot TIioro Who Sponk the En gllih Tongue Mill lie .Undo nt the Other Collieries if l'oisllitr, It I Knid--I'unnritl9 ol Raymond Unvln nnd Jiimi'ti Ollvcr--.Ninnbcr of Ieo plfl Uiitertnlncd at tlio Home ol Mr. und Mrs. M. II. Rclnhnrt. Now that the Archbald mtne3 hns closed down for an indefinite .period, tho momentous question which natur ally arises is, What next? For several months past the hours worked in tho collieries about here havo been short and the wage return consequently small. Then when one woult. expect aome "picking up" of tho anthracite coal trade, orders come to close down certain collieries for nn Indefinite period. West Scranton which is essen tially a centre for this trade, so far as tho working Is concerned, naturally feels the iirst effects and for that rea son the expectancy of the mine work ers as to the future had reached a high pitch. The main reason for tho slack work consequent upon the shutting down of certain collieries seems to spring from the desire upon the part of the com panies who control the anthracite out put to remain within tho listed pro portion of each company's tonnage. The llgures for the tonnage of tho fis cal year of 1897 show a falling off of about l.GOO.OOO tons ns compared with 1S9G, and yet the output exceeded the schedule. Then, too, the lake trade which would have relieved this con gestion has been delayed this spring, therefore active, and, in a sense, severe measures are a natural result. Tlie Archbald mines, which were or dered closed Indefinitely the first of this week, is owned and operated by tlio Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern company, and the purpose of thu retrenchment is clearly Bhown. This company operates up and down the valley over an Immense area. Many of the workings, however, aro mined on the royalty basis, part of which must be paid whether operations go on or not. These collieries will, of course, be operated and tho ones to stop will be those which are owned in full title by the company. Out of this latter class tho first ones to be stopped will be the ones which will cost the least to re main Idle and a little figuring gives one an idea of what that means here abouts. Though orders were given a few weeks ago to prepare for the introduc tion of several needed repairs at the Archbald colliery, yet almost upon the heels of tills order came the one to cease operatlonsaltogether. The miners removed their tools, the mules have been removed, and what was an Im mense hive of industry is now silent. About 700 men and boys are thus out of employment. Only a handful of men, about ten in number, will be re tained to care for the property. This action adds one more name to the list of those now Idle. The Sloan, just across the Kevser creek, has been Idle for several weeks on account of sink ing of the shaft to a lower vein, and the same reason causes the Idleness of the Central, distant about a mile and a half. Out of the 700 employes thrown Idle about 35 per cent, are foreign-speaking, They will not be given employment elsewhere except In a few Instances. Wherever feasible in other workings the foreign-speaking element will be displaced nnd the idle American work men given the places. In fact, orders will soon go into effect along these lines and many of the Archbald breaker boys will be given work at the Pyne and Continental, which are two other adjacent collieries. It Is rumored that the Oxford, Cay uga and Storrs will be the ones next in line' for stoppage in this section. Already news comes that several col lieries down the valley have been closed, and all for nn Indefinite period. The Archbald mines had a capacity of alout 00 cars per day of ten hours, and nklng the average schedule of ten days to the month, one can easily see what a falling off there will bo in the output.

NEW HOME FOR CENTURY'S. Aside from tho regular routine of business, the only topic that will be discussed at the meeting of the Cen tury Hose company tonight, will be the advisability of forming a stock company to build a modern home for the company. Chief Hlckey, Ambrose. Hertz and II. J. Spruks, members of the company, aro strongly In favor of tho movement and are agitating the matter, and the prospects are that the project will assume definite shnpe shortly. The present quarters of the Century's are, to say the least, very undesirable and unhealthy, and as no Immediate assistance from the city Is In sight, the members feel that the best plan to pursue Is to proceed to build, and eventually the property will be purchased by the city. Chief Hlckey stated to The Tribune reporter last night that $10,000 can easily lie raif-cd by forming a stock company. Mr. Hertz Is In favor of having a large double building erected, one portion to be used by the II ro boys and tho other half utilized for a police station, as now the city pays J25 a month rent for the quarters of the file company and $20 a month for the station bouse on Alder street. Mr. Hertz believes that if a building was erected in accordance with his Idea the city would accept the proposition to have the police station In the building. The sites in view for tho proposed building Is a plot on Hick ory street adjoining the residence of S. S. Spruks, nnd another at the in tersection of Plttstiin avenue and Riv er street, on the "orchard" owned by the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany. NEW LODGE TO BE FORMED.
