WILL CLOSE THE MINES.
Ultimatum OF the Seattle Coal and Iron
COfnpany,

Wesley Wilson, manager of the Seattle Coal
and Iron Company, said yesterday afternoon in
regard to the situation at Gilman: 1--WE have
heard of no trouble during the day, but / do not
know what the future may bring forth.
81 can say this, however, that the company
decided today that unless within q week we are
allowed TO run our own mines, we shall pull
our pumps and abandon the mines indefinitely.
I'VE do not care to hire men on q sliding scale
We must know what ii will cost us to produce
coal for ct least one year, as contracts for the
product OF our mines, without which we cannot
operate them and give anything less than steady
employment to our men, cannot be made
Tor shorter period. 1t is only by being able to
figure on the cost of getting out coal for a
certain period by large output, reduce the
necessary general expenses TO q minimum, and
thus be enabled to compete with foreign Goals
and secure any contracts whatever. All we ask
10 to be permitted to conduct our business in a
business manner. On April all the miners in
the Monongahela valley, Pa, the largest
oituminous section in the United
States, came out on strike be-
cause OF the refusal of the mine
owners to sign an annual contract Here the
miners do not want to sign an annual contract
We shall not start UP our mines until the con-
tract Is signed, and unless we can manage our
own business on business principles we had
better stop at once. 1t is more to OUR advant
age to abandon the mines tk ito go along as
We have been going during a past few months;
and 30, unless we are allowed to operate within
q very few days. we shall close up and that
will be the egd of the matter {"

whole was q credit to all concerned in il.
In the salutatory Mr.. Spiger pointed out the
evils from unchecked immigration. Miss
Cooper's grafton on the "Heightening of the
IDEAL was earnest and thoughtful Mr.. Frink
emphasized the various duties of citizens; and
Miss Foote pointedly touched upon the careers
OF some of the men prominent in American
history.
The diplomas were presented by Principal
Heston. who reminded the members OF the class
that their education had really but just begun.
In speech later he thanked those present for
their interest in the school, and spoke OF the Diff
ference between the old and the new methods
of education.
Much interest conferred in the award of prizes
by Principal Heston. He said that Mr.. l. 5. j..
Hunt had offered prize for the most sue
cessful pupil in shotgun examination
short questions answered quickly-a trip
through the principal Eastern cities; but II the
successful one were in the first year, or lowest
ton on Tuesday Miss Berta Frye, of the second
year, had answered every question, thus max
ing 100 per cent. Miss Maggie Beatty, of

the excellence of the paper, Mr. Hunt had de-
cided to give Harry Booth a trip TO Alaska
The oratorieal prizes given by Mr.. Heston and
Mr.. Barnard were first q set of Chambers encyc-
lopedia in ten volumes to Miss Lottie Milham;

Rose Lombard, and thirds set of Shakespeare to

ST. FRANCIS SCHOOL.
Closing Exercises Held Before q Large
and Wel-PIeased Audience.

anu Weh-FleaSeu - u0lences
The closing exercises of ST. Francis parochial
school were held at ST. Francis hall yesterday
afternoon in the presence of large audience of
interested spectators. The hall was appropri-
ately decorated. The teachers of this school are
Sister John and Sister Juliana, and il is due to
them to state that the exercises were of moro
than ordinarily original character. All the
young pupils showed excellent training, and
they went through their duties in a manner
that would have been creditable to older heads
than theirs. Miss Margaret Mckinney presided
at the piano and together with Miss DeMears
rendered a charming duet The entertainment
opened with a chorus rendered by all the pupils.
Master C. Hood then gave a recitation entitled
"Mouse Traps" which especially pleased the
little ones Then quite a bevy of pretty little
misses, attired in white, each taking the
name OF flower, gave number
of appropriate floral quotations. Those who
took part in this number were: Miss Mary Phe-
Ian, Miss Mary Bonen Miss Mamie Leary, Miss
Cora Bonen. Miss Minnie Butler, Miss Katie
Butler, Miss Mary keenan,, Miss Isabel CHS
holm, Miss Hattie Houghton, Miss Minnie Lon-
bard, Miss Emma Lombard, Miss Lena McKer-
nan, Miss Annie Burns, Miss Gertie Houghton
and Miss Lizzie Cook. This feature of the exer-
cises closed with a song, entitled "Away to the
Fields, Away" This was followed by drill of
Toys in uniform to the tap of drum The
soldiers were: Master Archie Chisholm, Mas
ter Norman Padden, Master Willie Were, Master
John Mooney, Master Stanislaus Padden, Master
Aloysius Cunningham, Master Willie White,
Master Daniel Bergen, Master Robert
Anthony and Master Stuart Agen An
other chorus was sung by the school,
when young boys recited "when We
Are Men," Those taking part in this were
Master James Fee, Master Joseph Cassell, Master
Norman Padden, Master Stanislaus Padden and
Master Hilbert Sprague. A very pretty feature
OF the exercises was an exhibition in calisthen-
les, in which the boys showed considerable pro-
iciency. The school of boys then came upon
the stage in various costumes and recited soft
to California" winding up with song. Master
Frank Cleary then reeited "The Soldiers
Dream" in very pleasant manner. Master T.
Booth wound up the literary exercises by delv-
ering neat little address, and after music the
audience dispersed well pleased with the exer-
cisps

The miners are keeping pretty solid ranks in
spite of the fact that the long continuance of the
strike has exhausted the individual resources OF
some Of them However, they have been reeeiv-
ing liberal contributions from their fellow
miners in other camps and from other
labor unions. They have committees out
through the country soliciting aid ana
have written in all directions stating
their case. They have established
regular commissary store from which rations
are distributed according to the size of mans
family. week or two ago the supplies were
rather low, but they are coming in more abund-
antiy now. A thousand dollars lately arrived,
and 5000 in one sum 10 expected in few days
Many of the miners have 30 much at stake IN
the town that they cannot leave II
without suffering great pecuniary loss
The majority OF them own their
homes which they have built themselves, and
several have an acre or so of land under cultiva-
ton. In general exodus, such as would re-
suit from their defeat in the strike, they could
not secure anywhere near o fair value for their
property, and thus they are hanging on tenaci-
ously. Some among the quieter men,
however, are wishing that the af-
fair was over, and make guarded
admissions that it was mistake, though they
intend 10 stand by the majority. One man ar
gued that Mr.. Parker had made mistake from
bis own standpoint in blacklisting the men, and
thus preventing them from obtaining work at
other mines, the result being that
all who have attempted to get work
elsewhere have been refused it or discharged as
soon as it was discovered that they came from
Gilman, and thus have been driven back here.
As night closed all was quiet in the town and
no sign of trouble was discernible. The depu-
ties have hitherto had little to do and are not
likely to until more men are brought in.
