TROUBLE IN LAWRENCE COUNTY.

There is serious trouble at Central City
and Deadwood, growing out of the litigation
over the Keets mine. The telegraph brings
us the following intelligence:
Deadwood, Nov. 1O.-On Thursday the
miners employed at the Keets mine, under
Contractor Omlee, took forcible possession
of the mine on account of non-payment of
their wages by the contractor. The miners
are still in possession of the mine, having
resisted the sheriff successfully and refused
a compromise of any kind except full and
complete settlement of their claims. They
are securely fortified, we'll armed and pro-
visioned to stand q months siege. The
citizens of Central City, near which the mine
is located, are in sympathy with the miners.
1t is feared that blood will be shed. The
amount due is $780,.
Still later information is to the effect that
the civil authorities are unable to enforce
process, and have called upon the governor
Of the territory for assistance, who has in
turn requested the United States govern.

favorable response has come from Washing

the year just ended is given in another
column. 1t will be seen that, upon the
whole, we have made some progress, hard
times to the contrary notwithstanding. In
