At Gem several hundred men were hud-

Carlson and Harry Cummings, union
miners. The other two are non-union

was the demand Of the union miners OF
the district for $3.50 per day for every
man working under ground. The mine
owners held that unskilled laborsrs
should be paid only &3. When the miners
refused to accept the scale, the mines
were closed.
The owners declared excessive freight
rates were the cause OF the reduction.
The lockout was begun April by the
mine owners association and 5000 miners
were thrown out OF work.
Since then the mine owners have been

Early California MIlIionaircs.


California has always been iamous for
big things, natural aud artificial, and Il

that its millionaircs are men Of large

or moderation cannot be preached TO
men whose blood is at fever heat, aud
whose souls cry out for fresh conquests,
when the ordinary man is languid from

survivals Of an earlier period, when
civilization had not refined away the
barbaric energy which has furnished the
motive power for the great conqucrors
OF modern times. Aud in their con-
