GLITTER AND DASH OF
WAR.
ALL OF TENNEssEEs CITIZEN
soLDIERY UNDER ARMS AT
KNOXVILLE.
Rioting Coal Miners at Briceville and
Coal Creek.

We made brief mention last week
of the trouble at Briceville, in Ander-
son County, with the miners in that
section, occasioned by the attempt to
introduce convict labor in the mines
at Briceville. About forty convicts
were sent there, and were at work
building a stockade. Free miners to
the number of several hundred as
sembled at the stockade and drove
the convicts away. They were placed
upon train with the guards and
carried to Knoxville. Gov. Buchar-
an, with two companies of State nil
litia from Chattanooga and one COM
pany from Knoxville, went to Brice-
vile last Thursday, taking the con-
victs back with them. On Monday
the miners captured both the milita>
ry and convicts WITHOUT firing gun,
and sent them all back to Knoxville.
The miners, 1000 or more strong,
gathered around the stockade and de-
manded that both the military and
convicts take their departure in short
order. The miners were well armed
with Winchester rifles, and resist
anCe upon the part of the handful of
youthful soldiers would have been
foolhardy, so troops and convicts fell
back to Knoxville. AS soon as this
news was communicated to Gov.
Buchanan, he ordered every compa-
ny in the State to the scene of action
by telegraph. This was responded to
by three companies from Nashville,
four from Memphis, and one each
from Springfield, Franklin, Murfrees-
boro, Shelbyville, Tullahoma and Sc
vance, about four hundred men, all
of whom were hurried to Knoxville
on special trains. Ere the troops had
reached Knoxville the Governor be-
gan to get little uneasy in his boots
as to his legal authority to order out
the militia, and Attorney Genera
Pickle was called into consultation
After conference at Nashville, the
Governor and Attorney General re
paired to Knoxville on Tuesday
night, where conferences were helC
on Wednesday with prominent citi
Zens ofthe district, and with a com
mittee from the miners. After these
conferences the Governor announced
that he had decided before leaving
Nashville to call an extra session 0
the Legislature, and that he would
embody in the call a recommendation
that the convict lease system be mod
flied, if not repealed. In the mean
time the convicts must be returned t
the mines at Briceville, and if tn
miners agree to leave them unmolest
ed until the Legislature acts, tn
militia will be withdrawn.
Our latest news from the scene 0
trouble indicates that these term
will be accepted by the miners, 70
they are beginning to realize tina
they have been guilty Of grave viola
tons of the law, and seem anxious t
get out with a good compromise

Loves Labor Lost.

DIR. Arthur Graves, of Boston, who for
the last ten years has been an active
member Of eastern societies formed in
aid Of the red men, and who has also
been engaged in missionary work among

loads oftools. These were distributed to
them, and they appeared overjoyed
with the prospect of having means of
tilling the soil. Shortly after this went
further west for q month and when re-
turned could not find any Of the tools,
but, after diigent search, it was found
that the Indians had pitched them all
in the White river and made bridge Of
them. The costly tools sent out for

This is one instance. and there are
many more similar. At this time l be-
gan to lose faith in them, and subse-

best way to solve the Indian problem,

all. Leave the matter to the western
people and they would treat the red

Not only Is there great deal of un-
certainty manifested as to whether or
not tin plate is being manufactured in
the United States that is in anything
like quantities, but many people serious
ly doubt, or at least profess to doubt,
whether there are tin mines in the
Black Hills in quantities that will pay
to work. We are assured by reliable
parties, who have lately visited the Har.
ney District, that tin exists there in in
exhaustabe quantities. Proof as to
this fact multiplies from day to day.
Attorney-General j. A. Kohler and
DIR. f. w. Claypool, professor of natural
science at Akron, o., have just returned
from ten days trip through the Black
Hills, where they went to make thor
ough inspection ofthe tin deposits, with
view to satisfying thems selves and the
company which they represented of the
extent and values OF the deposits. and
the prospects Of their being profitably
worked.
A few months ago Prof. Claypool made
trip TO England, partly to examine the
Cornish mines, having this visit to the
Black Hills in view at the time. The
result of Prof. Claypools comparisons of
the English and Black Hills deposits are
eminently satisfactory to those who
have pinned their political faith TO q
protection of the tin industry. The
professor was not at liberty as representa-
tive of the company to make public all
ms nnufngs, vut 10 rcpoftrrA -tffv
Shipping and Commercial List he said /:
81 have lately returned from Cornwall,
England, and while there visited the
large tin mines. which business was
largely connected with my trip abroad,
and now, after thorough examination
| will say that the future for the tin
mines of the Black Hills looks very en-
couraging. There is plenty Of tin there,
and tin of a good quality, and all that is
needed is capital to produce it, have
not as yet complete assay of the spec-
mems / have secured, but can say that
they are very rich"
Gen. Kohler spoke enthusiastically of
the Black Hills tin mines. "From
what | know Of the English mines" said
he, Great Britain contains no tin depos-
its comparable with these in the Black
Hills in richness or extent. Already
the hills are beehive of industry. and
millions of dollars are being invested in
the tin mines and in the plants and
machinery for higher developm ents
The Harvey Park Mining Co., backed
by three millions of capital. is develop.
ing the Black Hills mines on magnifi.
cent scale. and as soon as its hoisting
and stamping machinery is in position
it will produce quality of tin that will
compare favorably with the best pro-
ducts of the Cornish mines. and
quantity that will exceed those mines
There is not only abundance. but it is
found very near the surface and is easi-
ly handled. The United States will in
few years supply the world with tin
and at lower prices than have ever been
known."-Chicago Journal of Com
merce.
