SURVEY OF SAN JUAN.-The following
is an extract from a Washington letter
from JIG. Swan, Esqr., to the Port
Townsend Argus:
After we had got through with the
y Ppst Office Department went with our
dalegate to the Land Office. where the
Judge delivered himself of an Grafton
on the subject of the surveys of San
Juan Island. The Judge stated that
he had learned that some of his consti.
tuents were blaming him for the delay
in these surveys and called for the doc.
uments in the matter. One clerk after
another came into the Commissioners
office till there were four or Ave, and the
last one stated that the Executive order
to stop the surveys until the rights OF
British subjects on the island were de-
cided. had caused the delay. This gave
the Judge a,chance to pour out the full
ness of his soul in emphatic Words
Gentlemen, = said he, Il will ask you,
in the expressive language of the YER
nacular of Puget Sound, are the rights
of few cu1tus Englishmen to prevent
our citizens from having their rights?
enter my protest against this delay
and I will file a document which will
bring this matter up Immediately. The
survey must so on. twill in no way

CAssIAR MINES Mr.. J. w Erwin. a

just returned to this city from visit to
the Csssiar gold mines. His report is,
that the extert and richness of the
mines have been vastly exaggerated:
that there is not enough country of the
section supposed to be gold bearing to
allow a paving claim to one in ten of
those who have gone there. Of about
twelve hundred men who were there
when he left, not one IN hundred had
paying claims, and all of the others had
got nothing. Many were returning
empty handed, and a considerable num-

looked SO patriarchal, seated in big

They admitted that the Judge was cor :

FROM ILLINOIS.

COLCHESTER, In, March IA, 1874.
To the Editor of the woKKrSsuAN's Advocate
| take the present opportunity Of writing
you few lines to let you know the state
Of affairs in this vicinity, as do not think
you are aware Of the tyrannical measures
which is pressed upon the mining class
around here. Mr.. Dwight, the Superin-
tendent of shafts of Colchester, has got up
an article which they call contract, anu
We are all compelled TO sign this for one
gear or else leave the work. | therefore
enclose one Of these printed contracts,
hoping that You may give II room IN your
paper, and let the other mining regions
see what kind Of material Colchester Is
composed Of The vein uf coal here varies
from twenty eight 70 thirty inches. We
receive SIX cents for mining IN the win
ter season and five cents IN the summer.
We have u push that coal TO the bottom
and put 1t on the cage. Our coal Is weighed
ON the top OF the shaft before 1t goes into
the cars, but passes over a screen three
fourths Of an inch between the bars, and
they dock twenty pounds otf each box for
slack. These boxes generally weigh about
five hundred pounds, that is, ii the weight
keeps up ia Quincy and If It should hap
pen to fall short, the digg-rs have To pay
the smart by a repudIAted weight upon his
boxes. and II the box only weighs two
hun lred pounds. they are ducked twenty
pounds anyhow. uur pit bass passes his
time away at the bottom II the screen and
watches the slack drop through. and If
any such Ne that me- slack comes
through, h. will get up into the car and
turn over the humps 60 hnd piece of back
Jack or piece of sulphur, let II weigh one
or two pounds, ami he vii tell the weigh
boy to dock one ~ twu hundred pounds.
| wish to God that breath Of the Miners
National Association would bloN tins va,
but it is guiny "a take an awfn! pounding
10 drive It into some uf them. 1t IS time
there was something done u lift Colchester
out uf the water. iur Il she sinks any lower
than sne Is, all the aIr-tIght compartments
Of the nation combined will not set her
atoat again.
With regard TO ,he machinery in which
the miners are lowered to their work, it Is
of very temporary affair Open cages,
very light, ropes, and the shafts full OF
loose metal, apt to drop away at any time,
and men dare not speak about anything Of
the kind, or the boss will come out with
the low, degraded demand Of ''takt your
tools out that are III there"
have given you the outlines Of the
principle part Of what | can mind at the
present time, and hope you will be kind
enough "a publish them. Yours, &c.,

Last Saturday under the caption Of
Miners Riot at Minonk, our eyes fell
upon the following telegram in the morn
ing Journals
MINoNK, Ill, March 20-Some time ago a
man named Murphy came here and organized
miners union. The President Of the
Chicago and Minonk Coal Company, upon
the formation of the union. discharged all
the men who had joined 1t. A large number
of Norwegian miners were brought here, and
upon their arrival the discharged miners
congregated at the companys shaft and at
tempted to prevent the new men from gong
TO work, and to induce them to JOIN the
union. Afterward number Of the miners
wives gathered at the shaft and began throw
when the riot became general The authori-
ties of the city were unable to control it, and
the Governor was telegraphed to for aid A
response was received that arms and ammu-
milton We're coming, and that the Sheriff had
been telegraphed to assist in quelling the
disturbance. This morning, warrants were
issued by Esquire Ferrln, and number of the
rioters were arrested. A change of venue
was taken, and the is now on trial before
Esquire Munger. Much excitement prevails.
Now, will it be believed that the riot, to
suppress which the military were called
out, consisted III the women attacking the
President and one of the Pit bosses eth
eggs and tin pans. The President arrested
some of the women and some Of the wo-
men arrested the President. The whole
matter was satisfactorily settled by JUS
tice Of the Peace, 50 the adjutant general
had no opportunity to display his prowess.
Seriously, isn't the farce Of calling ont the
military every time a knock down occurs
between an employer and employee, to use
homely expression, about played out.
The half ton Governor Of Michigan
has just been guilty Of similar folly.
in sending a company from Grand Rapids
to Greenville, because the sheriff was
AFRAID of a riot. When their commander
learned was only dispute between two
rival companies, the reterdnS were i'm
nediately ordered home We understand
it is the uuty Of the executive to call out
the military when the civil authorities
are powerless to preserve the peace, but
he has no right to invoke their aid when
ever petty tyrant demands it.
