It Is expected that the newspapers will publish news from time to time concerning the mining situation, but In this immediate vicinity at least there Is no news to publish. The miners are peaceable and quiet and the J. & C. C. & I. Co. has made no effort yet to start the mines at Rathmel, Soldier, Sykes ville or Wishaw. There has been var ious rumors about mining matters which could not be traced to a reliable source, and we did not publish the reports, con sidering it better for both capital and labor that only reliable news be pub lished at this critical time. Over Thirty-Two Years Service. Dr. J. W.
