A blast from enc of the gorges threw
hugh stone high in the air, over the
press tent at Gen. Hastings headquar-
ters, falling through the canvass, mar
rowly missing one one or two reporters
who were writing at tables In the tent.
This il but one of the many narrow es-
capes daily.
Iaborers Threaten to Strike.
An attempt to reduce the wages TO q
basis of uniformity ON the part Of the
contractors met with a general threat
to strike by the workmen. Some of the
men who have been working in the
drifts have been getting day and Q
halfs pay for a days work, and all
classes of workmen have been paying 50
cents a day board, and they are also
murmuring on this account, or, rather,
because of the quality Of their food, and
this emphasized their threat. Gen.
Hastings told them he had nothing to do
with the wage question, and they left
murmuring. Laborers are very plenti-
full, and if there is a strike others will
replace the strikers.
