TnE GOVERNOR MI II MINERS.
Governor Haight, Milton S. Latham
and Captain James Mcdonald, had In
terviewed the turbulent miners OF SUIT
ter Creek, but no satisfactory result
could be arrived at. The Governor
was waited upon by the President OF
the League, Luke Burns, and invited
to address about 800 of them. The
Governor addressed them rs follows:
have come, at some personal IN
convenience, having heard OF the DIM
cultie, of the last three weeks, for the
purpose OF seeing il | could not ter
inmate the difference between the
workmen and the mine owners. am
clad to learn that something said to
have been done by your body was not
done by order Of your Association,
viz: stopping the pumping OF the
water. / am Informed 1t was not done
BY your order. I feel disposed to pro-
mote your prosperity at the same
time | cannot Justify any dlsobedience
of the law. My understanding Is that
Mr.. Latham's proposition, made some
days ago, was that ti~rst-class miners
should receive 50; second-class, ~ 90.
Mr.. Latham is still willing to carry
out the proposition. l am also In
formed that It is the intention to EN-
| ploy Chinese laborers. | do not know
that this influenced you, but 1t Is no
harm to say it. Both the other mines,
without doubt the Oneida, will pay
the same rates proposed by Latham.
It Is not necessary for me to say how
much I regret the suspension OF work
In the mines, which IL alike detrimental
to YOU and to the country, nor how
much | would be pleased to see you
resume work In the mines, the same as
before the strike. 1t was with the
hope of promoting this result that l
came here, aud also to represent TO
YOU that no violence can be tolerated ;
and I am glad your Association has
ATTEMPTED none. That Is all | have to
say, except to renew my desire to see
work recommended, and good under
| standing once more established"
The League retired for dellberation
and were In session until midnight,
when they informed the Governor that
| they did not consider that any definite
proposition had been made to them ;
he had made no concession to them OH
the part OF the owners Of the mine,
| and therefore they could make no
answer. They were firm for holding
out for what they claimed to be an
| equalization of wages. The Governor
had previously decided to
OHDEN OUT ThH liOOEoI
| As an order to move to Suttor Creek
had been received by the military COM
manders here at 6 o'clock Saturday
evening. The soldiers remained IN
their tents until yesterday morning,
when they struck and marched to the
depot of the Sacramento Valley Rail-
road, where a train WAS In waiting to
transport them to Latrobc.
The expedition consisted of the two
companies already mentioned, together
with General Cazneau and staff lin
Guiding Major Maze Edwartlsh forty
horses, twenty teams with tealnsters,
the necessary ammunition, stores,
tents, etc. Tho train started shortly
after s o'clock and arrived ut Latrobe
about ii o'clock, where they remained
a few hours to refresh themselves.
Our latest intelligence from tie eX-
petition Il that they started for Suffer
| Creek ut 3 o'clock p. NJ. All rodc-ten
men to n wagon-as We learn from a
| special messenger who arrived from
| Latrobe. It was rumorcd among them,
OIL leaving the latter place, that GOO
| men openly dcfied Governor Haight,
and preparations were being made to
| give them a warm greeting-although
It is not improbable the QUO non will
grow TO 5000 before they reach Suffer
| Creek.
Rumors were current yesterday that
Governor Haight and Sheriff Dueham
had both been captured and held as
prisoners by the miners, but the report
was not credited. Governor Haight
was expected to leave there yesterday
morning. Another rumor that 5000
miners from Grass Valley and Gold
Hill were ell route to the assistance of
their fellow craftsmen, grew out of the
fact. probably, that the miners Of the
localities mentioned had offered their
| brethren of Suffer Creek all the assist
ance in their power, either In money
or person. /.
