Nhiffbr NhEEh, way ~. ho SH'Ho
day has been spent by the miners on Bull
hill anSiously awaiting the arrival OF Gov
ernor Waite. The chief executive of the
state spent from o'clock n. m. to 3
o'clock p. m. in travelling from Florence
TO Victor, distance OF "a miles. The
reason for this snail's pace is that the
Florence and Cripple Creek road 10 an en-
tirely new one, that Is miles of the road
bod is in canyon, the walls Of which often
reach to height of more than / 900 feet
and that rivulet swells to torrent with
each heavy rain. In winding down the
canyon the railroad crosses q stream 30
times, and rs a storm has been raging in
this region for Sc hours il is almost a
miracle that none of the bridges went out.
On reaching Victor his excellency was
hastily put into an express wagon, the
only vehicle that could be had, and trans
ported to Bull hill Here he met tho OIL
GERS of the union in secret session. The
word secret is used because all day long
IL has been impossible for the newspaper
men or persons not q member Of the union
to tarry in the vicinity OF Bull hill, II, in
fact, he was permitted to reach the sum-
init, for longer time than five minutes.
The governor was not in the best temper,
il is understood. and he insisted nothing
like oratory should be practiced upon him
and in consequence q statement of the
facts were submitted to him. What the
governor said in reply IL is impossible to
learn, but II is given out as fact that at
the conclusion of the conference he was
given full power 10 act in behalf Of the
miners with mine owners.
Governor Waite left Victor over the
Florence & Cripple Greek railroad to-
night in company with President John
| Calderwood. II is understood his excel
lency and the representatives OF the min
ers' union are TO have a conference with
the mine owners at Colorado Springs
some time tomorrow.
The Gatling gun ordered from Chicago
is expected to arrive tomorrow. The ru-
NOR was current this morning that q
party of miners scouts havo captured
Deputy Sheriff Bob Mullin, together with
three other deputies. Mullin 10 the man
whom the miners arc SO bitter against
and who was reported as shot in Colorado
Springs the other day.
DENVER, May 30.-Another bill was filed
in the federal court to-day by G. 5.
Thomas for the Raven Gold Mine COM
pany of West Virginia, asking for an in.
junction to prevent the miners from in-
terfering with the working OF it's proper
ties at Cripple Creek. The bill recites
that the title to the land is still vested in
the United States government and that
the strikers are preventing the plaintiff
from prosecuting the improvements ne
cessary TO prove up its claims. The bill
also sets forth that the state officials have
refused to give the plaintiff protection.
Argument on the application was heard
to-day by Judges hallett and Riner, who
announced that they would render their
decision tomorrow. If the injunction Ia
granted. the United states troops will
probably be sent against the miners.
