COLLIERIES TO START UP Indefinite Suspension In Northumber land County Strike at Mid-Valley. Many Improvements In Process. All the collieries of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Cotupmy remained Idle to day as well as yesterday, but will resuin- 'rations to-morrow morning on threrijn iriei- time. Whether the col lieries will be operated for the balance of the week Is not known, but It Is thought tha' 'hey will be. I'll, -upenslon of all the Lehigh Vallev Coil a ml Navigation Company's collieries until alter New Year's Day was received with some dissatisfaction by the employes, but when they heard of tho turn of affairs iii the Mt. Cnrmel and Shamokln districts they felt Inclined to give thanks for the Lehigh orders. The sltuntlon of the miners In and about Mt. Carmel atid Shamokln Is certainly most disojuinglng to them. All the collieries except thos operated by the P. & R. C. iSc I. Compmy havo suspended operations Indefinitely, no hope for a resumption at the beginning of the year being given. A strike is on among the employes of the Mid-Valley Coal Company. The com pany proposed ndopting the system ot the P. & R C. & I. Compnny so fnr ns pr centage ou aud off wages is concerned, but refused to lie guided by all the provisions of the ."() hnsls. The men struck, claim ing that i 'lie company wanted to adopt tho S'.'.&i Im1s system it should pay its employes the wages paid by tho P. & R. Company. A tunnel has been started nt tho bot tom, or fifth lift, of the Buck Mountain vein slope In the West Shennndoah col llery and will be driven south so ns to cut the Seven foot nnd Mammoth veins. A new pair of engines nre being plnced at this colliery. Each has a 30 Inch cylinder and a 00-Inch stroke. The engines are the largest adopted by the P. & R. company in this valley. When these improve ments are completed the shipments of this colliery will be very materially in creased and employment will be given to a larger force of men than that now employed. It is possible that a suspension of operations will be required for a short time to make proper connections to the old engine house. The old engines nre partly in the way of those that are to take their places. A tunnel has been Btnrted In the Draper colliery, west of the Primrose slope, third lift, and will be driven south, cutting the Holmes, Mammoth, Skidmore, seven-foot nnd Buck Mountain veins. Another tunnel lias been started in the same colliery. It is opposite nud north of the bottom of the same slope, third lift, and will cut a new vein which has not been worked.
