THE GUARD ON BULL HILL

CRIPPLE CREEK, May 30.-The entire
day has been spent by the miners on Bull
Hill anxiously awaiting the arrival of Gov
eTnOr Waite. The chief executive of the
State spent from 3 o'clock A. NJ. to 8 P. NJ.
in travelling from Florence to Victor, a
distance of tweuty-four miles. The reason
for this snaiPs pace was that the Florence
and Cripple Creek road is an entirely new
one, that eighteen miles of roadbed is in
canyon the walls Of which reach TO a
height of more than 1000 feet and that the
rivulet swells to torrent with each heavy
rain. In winding down the canyon the
road crosses the stream eighty times, and
as a storm has been raging in this region
for thirty-six hours, and as the road is new
1t appears 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 transferred
to Bull Hill. Here he met the officers of
the union in secret session. The word
secretsIs used because all day long it has
been impossible for a newspaper man OF
person not member of the union to tarry
in the vicinity of Bull Hill. if in fact he
was permitted to reach the summit, for
longer time than five minutes. The
Governor was not in the best of temper, 1t
is understood, and he insisted that nothing
like OratoTy should be practiced upon MIN,
and IN consequence statement of so-called
facts were submitted to him. What the
Governor said in reply it is impossible to
learn, but it is given out as fact that at
the conclusion of the conference he was
given full power to act in behalf of the
miners with the mine-owners.
Governor Waite left Victor over the Flor
ence and Cripple Creek Railroad tonight
in company with President John Calder
wood. 1t is understood that his Excel
lency and the representatives. of the
Miners Union are to have a conference
with the miue-oWn at Colorado Springs
some time tom Orrow.
The Calling gun ordered from Chicago
is expected to arrive tomorrow.
A Tumor was current this evening that a
party of miners scouts had captured Dep
uty Sheriff Bob Mullin, together with four
of the deputies, but it cannot be confirmed.
Mullin is the man whom the miners are so
bitter against and who was reported as
shot in Colorado Springs the other day.
COLORADO SPRINGS, May 3O.-At meet
iuE Vi piullluSuV CiJlLouS IO-uay IL was re-
sOlveG that the time for arbitration at
Crippis Creek had passed and that the
miners must lay down their arms and give
the owners possession of the property.
One hundred and fifty additional deputies
have been sworn in by the Sheriff, com
posed OF leading citizens. One hundred of
these are to serve as home guards. Among
The active deputies are such men as Percy
Hager and Judge Harrison.
DENVER. May 30.-A second bill was
filed In the Federal court to-day by C. S.
Thomas for the Raven Gold Mine Com
psny of Yves. Virginia asking for an in
junction to prevent the miners from in
terfering with the working of its 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 improvements necessary to
prove up its claims. The bill also sets
forth that the State officials have refused
80 give the plaintiff protection. Argument
on the application was heard to-day bv
Judges Hallett and RineT, who announced
that they would render a decision t0-mor-
row. If the injunction is granted United
States troops will pro badly be sent against
the miners
