GIGANTIC STRIKE.
Three Thousand Six Hundred Miners Refuse
to 20 TO Work.

lliy Cable TO The Timesl
PAas. Nov 1j.-Iho threatened strike o
miners in the extensive coal fields in the de-
partment of Pas-de-Calais was this morn
ing inaugurated This action was brought
about by the refusal Of the nine
owners 10 make any concessions to
the men. and consequently the miners
have resolved tO strike % secure or attempt
t secure, redress of their grievances A
meeting OF delegates representing fully a
thousand miners was held at Lens on Satur-
day last. with the result that a general strike
of coal miners in the north of France was de-
ciled upon.
In accordance with this decision three thou
sand six hundred miners employed in the col
lieries in the immediate vicinity Of Lens de-
clined 20 60 TO work this morning, and thus
the great strike was begun. The fact that the
miners have grounds for their dissatisfaction
is shown by a telegram received Saturday
from NJ. COnstans, Minister of the Interior
In this telegram the Minister said that it was
the intention of the Government 10 push
legislation dealing with the miners
grievances.
The Pas-de-C Calais miners are firm in their
determination 10 make a desperate struggle
if necessary. 20 succeed. and they have re-
ceived promises of financial aid and mora
support from the miners IN the Loire and St.
Etenne coal districts.

seven miles from here upon which are located
some twenty odd Indian mounds. On Satur-
day they were at work on "a mound five hun
dred feet in length two hundred in width
and twenty eight feet in height At the depth
of fourteen feet, near the centre of the mound
they exhumed the massive skeleton of
a man which was encased in vertaOle cop
per armOr. The head was covered by an
oval-shaped copper cape. The jaws had cop
per moulding and the arms were dressed in
copper Copper plates covered the chest and
stomach. On each side Of the head on pro-
truding stocks, were " Oden antlers Orna-
mented with copper. The mouth was stuffed
with genuine pearls OF immense size. but
much decayed. Around the peck was d neck
lace of bear teeth set with peatls. At theside0 of
the male skeleton was also found female
