 en men killed, with strong probability
 that the number of dead will be in creased when all is known, is the record
 of the first day of trouble here, although
 the real fighting has not yet begun, as the deputies are awaiting reinforce ments.
 Before beginning active operations, al 10 o'clock this morning, eleven mer started to work in the Strong mine, or Battle mountain. Shortly afterward 6 large party of strikers blew up the shaf house with powder, causing @ loss oi $25OO, and then dropped 100 pounds oi giant powder down the shaft, which was also exploded, killing all the inmates.
 Not more than 300 yards from the Strong shaft sixteen men who had been engaged to work in Independence, were
 surrounded in their bunk houses, and
 after long barley agreed to surrender.
 Each one was armed with rifle and a
 brace of reyolvers, the arms now being
 ID possession of the strikers.
 It IS rumored that the strikers attack ed the Anna Lee mine, overpowering the guards, after which they blew up the shaft house. but the rumor has not been verified.
 When the deputies are finally massed and the two forces come together, most desperate battle will doubtless be fought.
