Small Demand for Anthracite.
The May letter of tho Anthracite Coal
Operators' Association says there has
been little Improvement in the anthra
cite market during the month of April,
though near its close a little activity was
displayed In New England. Prices have
remained firm throughout the mouth.
During tho first two weeks there was a
tendency towards low prices, but this was
followed by a firmer market, though the
demand remained very slight. \\ ith a
light demand in the interior and a small
consumption in the large cities, there is
little reason for lipping that the move
ment of coal to Western points will bo
sufficient to permit of mining at a greater
rate than 2,000,000 tons during the
coming month.

Ileal Gold in Carlion County.
The rumors of gold finding in Carbon
county are becoming more general overy
day. The latest discovery is said to be
a genuine Klondike strike. The for
tunate men who struck it rich are
brothers, John J. O'Donneil, commis
sion of Carbon county and Neil O'Don
neil. The latter is an experienced gold
miner, having spent the past twenty
years of his life in western mining
catnps. Ills knowledge in this respect
bids fair to make him a rich man by
digging gold from their mine at Mauch
Chunk. Mr. O'Donneil made numerous
tests and examinations of the mountains
Recently and last week with a force of
men began to tunnel into the mountain
near the Valley station. Tests of the
ore already assayed gives SBOO of gold to
the ton besides a great deal of copper.
The town is much excited over the
discovery and hundreds eagerly watch j
the men at work, while blasting the ore.
Mr. O'Donneil is positive the asay will
be increased as the vein be increased, j
He says it is known in the gold mining !
region as the Fisher lode and usually
turns out very productive. Tho broth- I
ers have secured a lease of the land .
where the mine is located from the \
agents of tho Steadiuan estate and will '
soon have a crushing mill erected.
Leaving the Coal Region.
The exodus of Hungarians, Slavs and
Poles from the anthracite region, which
began about two months ago. still con
tinues. and those of the English-speak
ing residents who can secure employ
ment elsewhere are now following them.
Some are going to other parts of the
coal fields, but the majority are settling
in the larger cities, as far away from
their former oppressors as they can get.
In addition to the large number who
have already been mentioned in these
columns, the following have removed
lately: Henry Rudolph and family to
Reading; James Harvey to Philadelphia:
John Wilson and family to YYeatherly;
William McFarlane, of Drifton, to Scran
