When the miners at the West Shenon
doah colliery quit work for the day o"n
Saturday they were told that operations
me mine would not be resumed today
and that place would remain idle for a
month. The suspension was not unex
pected, as the colliery could not be satis
factorily operated while the new hoist
ing engines for the slope are being put In
uince, vCb id was uoped that in view of the
poor working time of the winter the sua-
pension would be postponed until after
