PITTSTON. A matter of ory much Importance to man of our people here, und others Intel ested. Is the follow In? Information obtained yesterday from 'William Ab bot, a man of wide cxpeilence In mlnlns mutters, and no ptesent the mine foreman at No. 10 shaft of tho Pennsylvania Coal company. When the tire was first dlscoered in No. 6 shaft, it was decided to drown out tho mine, and in doinjrso it was found that It would be necessary to also Hood No. 11, thus throwinR out of employment secral hundied men and boys To this end laipe pumps wete placed at the edce of the rler and pipes laid from there to the old slope, while In side the openings that led to other workings, but which aio on a. higher grade weic closed with thick walls of brick and cement. About this time, one of the olTlclals conceived the idea of erecting gates at the foot of the slope, similar to those to be seen at any caml lock, and after tilling the slope with water open the gates and let the whole volume pass through the place wheie the lire exists. This has been done, and tho result Is so satli factoiy that this procedure is fctill go ing on. The water, after passing tho file, flows Into No. 14 shaft and when pumped out to the f-urface Is still warm, showing that it has found the place It was Intended It should. If the officials will be successful in this scheme a large expense will not only be saved, but the works will be only Idle weeks. Instead of months, as would be the case If the mines had been filled with water. Since last Sunday a large forco of men have been laying pipe? fiom the head of No 4 shaft for the purpose of convejlnR tho water pump ed out of the latter to the slope, which is the location of tho present trouble. David Bryden Is, and has been, con fined to the home since Satuidny last, a victim of the grip. M. Baum will start upon his annuil tilp today across the continent to Cali fornia. The Jerrv McMiliffe repertoire com pany Is giving vcrv ci editable per founances at Music lull this week and large audiences have been present each night. They will be heio the balance of the week.
