IAN OUrRAGE."-Our contemporary,
the Virginia Union, last evening contained
an editorial item with the above caption,
which reflects very severely upon the Su-
perin,endent Of the Yellow Jacket mine
Gen. Winters, and which, If unexplained,
might be taken as true. A few days ago,
. miner named Jacques-who had been
working in the mine for several months
byhis own carelessness losth his lite while at
work in the mine. Il was arranged that
he was to be buried on Friday afternoon.
at four O'Clock. II is customary, we be-
lieve, in all our mines, TO allow such OF
the miners who wish, to attend the funer-
ais Of their fellow-workmen, without de-
Quoting the time lost from their wages.
1. is not customary, however, TO allow a
,chols day. In this case at the Yellow
Jacket mine there are two sides to the
question, and an explanation will satisfy
the public that an attempt is made BY our
contemporary over the hill to create q
wrong impression prejudicial to the kind
hearted Superintendent Of the mint
(Gen. Winters is proverbially known by
all connected with the Yellow Jacket as
having no superior on the Comsrock for
liberality and generosity. The hands
who were TO 90 10 work at seven O'Clock
on Friday morning-the day of the fu-
~neral-refused to do so-alleging, as
we are informed. that there was TO be q
funeral. The Foreman protested against
their stopping work until noon. The funer-
al was set for three or four o'clock-and
as he had orders TO get out a certain
amount Of ore, it was a matter OF neces-
sity that they should work at least until
noon. But they peremptorily declined to
work-would not even wait for the Fore
man to 20 and inform the Superintendent
at his office, and ascertain his opinion and
orders-but they "got up and got" leav-
ing the mine stand idl~e-stopp;ng the
teams, the engineers, brakemen, bell-ring-
er, and everybody connected with the
mine. OF course, the question arose., who
was "boss'-whether II was the crew or
the captain of the ship. Forty men idle
q whole day, with their wages running
on-with q corresponding idleness Of
teams, mills, and Others connected there
with, is no small matter, even for the yell
low Jacket Mine. Gen. Winters gave the
order to discharge all who refused to COM
III ~ . sc Nha NINA and the
orders Of the officers. And they were
discharged. 1t was nobody's business
except those directly interested. Any
other Superintendent would have done the
same thing. Our large mines have an es-
tablished discipline-as much so as a large
ship at sea-and a miner who violates the
rules and usages u expect to abide the
consequences. The foregoing is a true
statement Of the great "outrage" just per-
petrated q, the Yellow Jacket Mine.
VIRGINIA C1TY.-It is very noticabie:
The fact that our metropolis is ivening
up very rapidly, and that there is every
reasonable indication that real good
tunes" for old Storey are not merely ap-
preaching, but at hand. Everyone is re-
marking the improvement in the value OF
property in Virginia, and a general feeling
exists which may thus be expressed: In
one year our place will be as stirring as in
SO, or nearly so. There is only one
cloud over the hope and expectation. or
that, anon.
