Around tho Mines.
Tho Cayuga, Dodge and miss col

over five months. During that time
new machinery has been added, In
cluding automatic slateplckers and
many repairs have been made around
the mines.
Tho now coal wabhery at the Hamp

and satisfactorily, and when running
at its full capacity will eventually be
used for washing the culm at tho

The work on tho washery at the
Ilellevue mine is nearly completed, and
the machinery will soon be started up
there.
With the completion of the repairs
