EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS AT
THE SHENANDOAH CITY.
CONSIDERABLE OUTSIDE WORK
Introducing a New Systom for
Getting Coal From tho Shaft
Into tho Breaker Tho Ca
pacity Will bo Increased.
nanst HE Shenandoah Ulty is
start operations again
just as soon as tho word
comos from headquar
ters, but this statement
must not bo taken as a
declaration that all tho
repairs and Improve
ments for which tho colliery stopped shipping
coal sovoral weeks ago havo been made.
Quito to tho contrary scores of men aro busy
loading and unloading material, chopping,
hammering and sawing, hoisting, lowering
and dumping j yet tho work has progressed
so far that should orders bo received to send
coal through tho breaker to-morrow they
could bo complied with without interforonco
with tho other work.
Outsido Foreman Marshall Baugh is upon
the grounds from morning until nightuudhis
solo ambition seems to bo to get everything
completo and in working order beforo tho
order to resumo shipments docs como. His
workmen havo mado somo wonderful im
provements about tho colliery and when tho
last nail is driven Shenandoah City will bo
ablo to boast of a capacity exceeding any of
her previous records and sho by no means
ranks far from tho leaders in this district.
Tho outsido methods of hauling coal at tho
colliery, so far as tho thaft is concerned, are
being completely revolutionized. For sovoral
years past since the completion of tho shaft,
whoso top rigging is barely perceivable from
tho town, it has beon tho custom to run both
tho loaded and empty cars to and from the
shaft and breaker by grade and endless
chain. Hereafter only tho empty cars will
bo run by that system. Tho old hoist houso
at the top of tho breaker has been torn down
and in its placo is being erected a largo cov'
ered dump chute. This chuto will be con
nectcd with one of tho old endless chain pas
sago ways, on a levol, by means of a long
trestle and this will form a direct road for the
loaded curs from tho shaft to the breaker.
The remaining sido of tho endless chain lino
will be used for taking tho empty cars from
tho breaker back to tho shaft. This altera
tion has necessitated a change in tho method
of dumping tho shaft coal into tho breaker.
Under tho old system tho loaded cars lowered
by tho endless chain ran into tho breaker and
dumped their coal into the same chuto used
by the drift and strippiugs cars. Now tho
shaft cars havo a separate chuto which ex
tends from tho new dump houso ninety feet
to the top of tho old chutes in tho breaker
top. This new chuto is so arranged, by means
of n partition, that the shaft coal can be sent
do'.vn one or two sides. In other words,
should tho shaft .independent chuto become
blocked the coal from the new main chuto
can bo turned into the same placo into which
the drift and strippiugs cars will dump their
coal. This is looked upon us one of the most
important improvements.
While the endless chain systom of pro
pulsion is being discarded at one placo, it is
being adopted in another. Under tho old
system it was tho custom to load cars at the
timber pile, which is quite a distance from
the shaft, havo them hauled by mule power
to the bottom of the endless chain incline,
then hoisted and run by grade to the shaft.
After tho improvements aro completo all
lumber will beihauled to tho shaft by a direct
aud endless chain lino.
All tho alterations being mado aro based
upon plans to savo handling and distance,
and when they are finished tho capacity of
the colliery will bo increased from 100 to 150
cars per day, which will bo quite an itom.
Two now boilers have been placed iu tho
breakor plant aud a number of minor im
provements have been mado about tho shaft
hoisting engluo,
But little repair work is going insido tho
Shenandoah City. In fact the only work of
any importance now going on thore is tho
making of a piano from tho bottom split to
the top split of the Mammoth vein in tho
inside slopo. This will bo quite au extensive
piece of work and is beiug done by W. J.
Evans, tho contractor.
No one seems to have the slightost Idea
when Shenaudoah City colliery will resumo
operations. Ono gentleman said ho thought
tho first of Juno would be tho time, yet
orders might be received at any moment.

Just ns truo as tho saying "A rolling stono
never gathers moss" is the statement that tho
two school teachers who roll up tho highest
scoro in tho Herald's popular public school
teachers' contest will go to tho World's Fair
iu July, next. To tho victors will g6 tho

would like to send all tho school teachers to
tho Exposition because wo know tho trip
would ho of great benefit to them, and there
aro no toilers on this earth that deserve such
benefits more than those who aro trying to
mako intelligent and good citizens of the
rising generation; but as thero is a vast
diifcrenco between a newspaper offico Srld a
mint aud the cost of such an expedition can
not bo brought within our means, wo aro

of tho trips to Niagara Falls aud Boston.
Let all tho friends of tho school teachers
rally 'round their favorites and may tho best

her death sho should bo given a respectable
