ton.
A REGISTER reporter had talk with
Sheriff Scott, who was at Camp Wheel
g 2 Creek yesterday. The Sheriff said
that he thought the outlook was some
brighter, but he thought 1t entirely ln-
advisable to have the troops taken
away yet. 1t is appehended that the
arrest of the miners will arouse them,
and they will be as bad as ever. 1t was
the opinion OF the officials that some Of
the miners would go 10 work ia the
mines next week.
