COAl-M|NERS' STRIKE.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 27.-All the min
ers employed at the junction. West Shaft,
Barclay, and Riyerton coal-mines and part
Of those At tho Old North Shaft, struck to-
day, demanding four cents a bushel for dig
gng. Work is still progressing at the two CO.
operative shafts, and at .Starnes and the
North Shaft, where the colored miners em-
ployed refused to strike. The mine-operators
nave not yet decided whether IL allow the
increase or not Owing to the great scarcity
Of cars OIL all the railroads, there has been
almost a coal famine of late, especially along
the line Of the Wabash Railway. as the
railroads have barely been able to transport
coal enough for their own use, much less to
supply the people along the lines It is
feared. therefore, that if the strike continues
the result will be quite serious, though
it is not probable that the running of trains
will be interfered with.

MINING NOTES.

Placer mining at Osceola, Nevada, has
been stopped by the cold weather.
The Browns valley mines, Yuba county,
have been incorporated under the name of
the Solo Mill and Mining Company, with
capital of $500, 900, in 1000 shares of
$40 each, and it is understood that a part
of this stock will be placed on the market.
In twenty years the yield of the Com
stock lode has been s325, 600, 900 worth of
bullion The length of the shafts and
galleries is $50 miles. Three hundred and
sixty million tons OF waste rock have been
hoisted, and l,750, 000, 600 tons of water
pumped to the surface.
The Eureka hydraulic mine, Calaveras
county, is ready for work. The pipe is
laid, two giants set, about fifteen hun
dred feet of twofoot fiume put down, and
things will be booming as soon as water
can be had. The claim was never in so
good condition before.
The mining property situated near Horn.

as the Number Nine mine, and more re-
Gently os4led the Yosemite, has been sold
to Marcus and j. W. Hulings of Oil City,
Pennsylvania, for S77,O0O This mine
! possesses a new 35-stamp steam. power
quartz-crushing mill, besides many other
valuable improvements recently built and
constructed.
The old Coso mine, Independence, Inyo
county, is being rapidly developed. The
old shaft, which was down 200 feet, has
| been sunk so feet deeper, and from the
bottom of this, l50 feet Of levels and drifts
run, and 100 more contracted for a con-
tinuous, uniform and well defined vein of
ore, thirty INCHES wide, between good
walls, shows itself the whole distance run.
The ore is a fine gold. bearing quartz, assay-
ing $50 per ton, average.
| AT Alturas, Idaho, the Ida Gilmore
mine, near Rocky Bar, is working, twelve
men being employed by it. The vein is
from l2 to 81 inches in width, and the ore
that is being extracted is good. A depth
of 22O feet has been obtained, and tunnels
are being run east on it. When 100 tons
are out crushing will commence. The

smiths Sentence Again Postponed.


NEVADA, December 18th. = George w.
Smith, found guilty of murder in the second
degree for killing L. w. Sigourney, appeared
in Court this morning to receive his sentence.
Upon the prisoner being asked by the Judge
if he had any reason to show why judgment
upon him should not be passed, his counsel
answered, "YesS on the ground that the
Clerk of the Court had failed to enter the
verdict of the jury in the minute. book of the
Court but instead thereof had recorded it on
slip of paper, to be thereafter transcribed
into the record-book." lie claimed that the
prisoner was entitled to a discharge on this
technicality, and that there ia a section in the
State code providing that the verdict of the
jury should be entered and read from the
minute-book Of the Court. The affidavit of
the defendant, filed in support of his motion
for discharge, was about to be read by his
counsel, when the District Attorney moved
that the hearing of the same be postponed, in
order to allow the prosecution further time to
file counter affidavit. The motion was
granted, and further proceedings in this case
were postponed until next Monday morning.
