The HALEY News-Miner, comment
ing on the mining troubles in that
section, closes long article with
these sensible remarks
Whenever the time arrives on
Wood River that mine owners cannot
control their own property and be
protected by the strong arm OF the
law in working that property to the
best advantage TO themselves and TO
the country, then the time has arrived
when capital will steer clear OF this
CLINE. Who will invest money In
country where the law is powerless to
protect their property aud interests
against the riotous and lawless
The experience Of yesterday has
proven that our mining interests are
now in critical condition. We want
outside capitalists TO know and DO
assured that the law is respected and
enforced here, aud in order to DO this
1t Is necessary for the advocates of law
aud good order TO raise Lhei: voices on
the side of good government and the
people.
We do not seek to create prejudice
against anybody. We are in favor OF
Miners Unions with the present rate
OF wages, but We do not sustain them
In riotous or unlawful acts 10 main
tain the present rates. This il the
point, and the only one, where we are
sntagonistic to the Union miners.
Aud we are also OF the opinion that
the better judgment ofthe majority OF
the miners Is The same as our own.
As long AS they proceed In accordance
with The rules that govern lawful and
peaceful people, we are with them,
but when they Overstep the line that
| divides law from anarchy, we cannot
sustain them. Can any law-abiding
man or wellwisher OF this COM

IL seems from Mr.. Palmer statement
that when he went up 10 put some
men at work yesterday morning on n
contract that quite a number of men
| presumably Miners Union mem i,
met him aud asked him, '.if he WAS
going TO pay the men 81 per day."
He replied that they were going to
work OF u contract and make, what
they could. They then informed him
that they would not go 10 work unless
he paid them 81 per day, unless they
went over their dead bodies or some
thing TO that effect. Some consitera-
BILE conversation ensued, and Charles
Foley drew a pistol on Mr.. Palmer,
but WAS stopped 10y some Of the othors
from going further. MIR. Palmer gee
Ing that the men could not work,
came up TO HALEY Pnd swore out wal =
rants OF arrest, rs stated above.
John Galbraith was attacked and
beaten by the mob. His face and
head were cut aud bruised, but his
wounds are neither serious nor dam
gerous.
Attorney Waters went 10 Bellevue
last evening to pursuade theBroadford
Miners Union to meet and pass res
olutions as body condemning the
commissions OF any overt acts, thus
letting the responsibility OF them fall
unon individuals. He advised the
men to go to work for 50 80. Deputy
District Attorney Hawley also went
down for substantially the same pur.
pose. and argue with the miners rs TO
the outcome of unlawful proceedings
on their part. Sheriff Fuley also went
down to make arrests. Captain Lusk
intimated last evening that several
miners who interfered yesterday with
the working of the Queen OF the Hills,
will probably be- arrested to day, I'M
less some compromise is effected.
