A New Building Association

At the recent session OF the Legislature OF
this State the law governing Building Associ'
atoms was amended so as TO place them on
the same footing for usefulness as those OF the
State OF Pennsylvania. which are recognized as
models and have exerted an Unreasonable in
flueKce for good in bull ling homes for the peo-
pie OF that State. Such associations are not
only authorized to loan money to their share
holders, but also TO purchase land, or erect
houses for their shareholders, or to sell, con-
yey, lease or mortgage them TO their share hold
ers or to others for the benefit OF the sharehold-
ers.
All the money accumulated can thus be
kept praftably invested and all the sharehold'
ers will receive the benefits.
The undersigned propose to organize at once
an association under the new law. and will re-
ceive subscriptions and give all information de-
sired.

Gilman Miners Working Together.

The strike at Black Diamond was raised
yesterday by the miners returning to
WORK, but the situation at Gilman instead
OF growing better appears much more
alarming. The Seattle Coal and Iron Com
pany, which owns the mines at the latter
place, has been gathering up min
ers and men willing to work at
coal digging wherever they could
be found for several days, and Detective
Sullivan has been engaging guards to go to
the mines with them. Several of the
miners went to Gilman yesterday, accom-
panied by guards, and according to reports,
received warm reception. Dispatches
received in this city by officials of the
company stated the situation to be alarm
ing, and they notified Colonel Haines
that the militia might be needed
to preserve order. Colonel Haines asked
the governor for instru ctions, and was in
formed that he might call out the First
regiment, or as much of it as might be
needed, upon proper requisition from civil
authorities. Other reports from Gilman
are to the effect that the situation there
is not at all critical. A PosT-IETELLI-
GENcER reporter was sent to the mining
town on an engine at o'clock last even
ing, and what he learned after his arrival
there is told below:
