Onlv Snrinttflalfl Morea, Kehley Run, Aehland and Coieraine collieries worked today of the chain of mines the Lehigh Valley Railroad services on the local division but it is expected the effects of the floods of the week -will have been overcome over the week end to a degree that will make possible a start by many mining companies whose forces are still fighting high water, One flooded mine, Centralia, ex cites curiousity in mining circles. It is flooded yet had a gravity drainage system, No pumps are needed to drain the mines but the place is flood ed just the same.

The theory is that the rush of water was so great that the outlets can't handle all the store of surface wash that seeped into the workings, and that eventually the water will be drained out. The flood situation kept down production, yesterday's loading at the mines on the division being only 85 cars. No billed stock was tapped to make orders that totalled 116 cars.

Marked improvement in road conditions locally was the further result of the continued cold weather which held the rush of melting snow waters the past two days and most routes are open after two days of long detours to avoid flooded sections.

The Third street bridge at Easton, under water as the Lehigh river rushed to the "Forks of the Delaware" is again open to traffic today and this opens the Doylestown pike to Philadelphia. The Phillipsburg bridge at Easton is safe after two days of "travel at your, own risk" rules and this frees the routes to New York. Mauch Chunk reports the Mansion House hill grades passed unscathed through the crisis and traffic conditions are as usual. The Berwick-Bloomsburg-Dan-ville Northumberland Lewisburg-Williamsport situation also cleared up. Berwick reports the Susquehan na river flood levels dropping although rural roads in the district in some instances are still under water.

Bloomsburg has some portions flooded but the roads are open. Danville is open to traffic and the No. 11 route water blockade to Northumberland has receded but Sunbury is still cut off across the river. However this situation is bettered because Lewisburg, Milton and Wil-liamsport traffic continues on the Nothumberland side of the river to the north. Tamaqua reports that everything is open and the flow of coal trucks that had been halted the past three days is swinging through on trips to the mines.

Wilkes-Barre-to-the-north traffic is still halted however. Those headed into the New York southern tier of counties go to Scranton via 115 and the Dupont cutoff, others go across at Pittston to catch 309 on its northword march toward Elmira Much traffic that tried to get to New York state came back to Hazleton last night, the atrtosts deciding to abandon their trips. A warning is issued that if there is a heavy rain tonight or tomorrow, conditions may grow very bad without much chance to get home and that it would be wise to refarin. from ambitious trips from Hazleton because a sudden weather change may maroon local drivers in remote sections.
