SOUTHERN ILLINOIS MINES.
Nearly Every One In the District IL Nov
Closed.

Closed.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 5.-The miners
are gradually closing all the shafts in
Southern Illinois. and in the St. Louis
district few indeed are now running.
The Consolidated company, which has
been operating nearly fifty mines, has
only six in operation to-day. The
Madison company has none at work.
The Belleville and Duquoin districts
have produced very little coal for the
past few weeks. Except the output
of a few small mines scattered here
and there, ST. Louis is dependent for
her supply upon accumulated stocks.
The latest addition to the ranks of
the ''quitters" was at Edwardsville,
H., yesterday. when about zoo men
stopped work. induced by crusaders
from the striking districts.
At Mount Olive 100 men have quit,
and it is considered probable that
every mine in st. Louis territory will
be closed within the next ten days
The strike after that is hard to pre-
dict The strolling strikers can
concentrate at one mine at a
time and. by diut of pleas and
taunts, force a closure. That has
been the course of affairs since the
party of 500 left Bellevllle Monday,
and there is no reason to believe it
will alter. Coal is still being produced
at Carlinville. in the Muddy valley,
where 1000 men are employed, at
Sandoval, with 400 or 500 men, and
some smaller mines.

The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1894-10-03


During the week quiet movement
I was set afOOt by the POpulists to get
control of the plant now operated for
publishing the Canyon County argus.
1t seems that man named Bosh, os-
tensibly from Utah, was here and had
made some kind of a deal with Boise
people by which he was to purchase
the plant. The inside Of the scheme is
not known as it has been worked very
quietly and secretly. AS it happened,
though, contemporaneously with Mr..
Clagget's appearance in this section,
it is suspected that it was a scheme to
start the Gray Eagles Senatorial boom.
According tc the best information at
hand, the Democrats were little too
smooth for the Populists and even after
the latter had practically got the plant
in their hands, prominent Democrats
slipped up to Boise and prevailed on
the owners of the plant to go back on
the deal. 1t was a pretty shrewd play
all around and very few ON the outside
knew that anything unusual was on
the boards.
