The American Mining Co., operating the American (formerly Ster-
ling) mine at Clarksburgh, has a small force of men at work unwater-
ing the mine, which will be pumped dry about the middle of the pre-
sent month. A force of about 40 to 50 men will than be put on and
regular mining work will be started. Captain W. H. Johnson of Lake
Superior, is directing the operations there at present. The mine
has been inactive since 1884, in which year it shipped about 3,000
tons of ore. It is a good property and can be profitably wrought at
ruling prices for ore. A creditable output this year will be achiev-
ed if nothing untoward prevents.

It has not yet been decided whether the South Shore will main-
tain both the DSS&A and MH&O shops or not. For the present both
are crowded with work, The MH&O after its purchase of the M&W had
a surplus of motive power and as the M&W engines were new and more
powerful than the MH&O engines they were largely used, the extra
engines of the older road being placed in "ordinary" as they need-
ed overhauling. All these engines are now being fitted out and as
a consequence both shops are crowded with works
