MINES CLOSED DOWN,
Thousands of Miners Staring
Starvation in the
Face.

Bessemer, Mich, Aug. -
The Tilden mine yesterday
closed down both day and
night shifts of No. 9 shaft.
This completes the shut down
Of the Rockefeller mines in
this city. Nos. 6, 7, 8, 9 and
10 shafts now employ just men
enough to keep the mine clear
of water. In a large number
the mines, the pumps have
been taken out and the mines
allowed to fill with water
The Gogebig range mines
are practically all shut down at
Hurley, Bessemer, and Wake
field, There are less than 1000
men at work on the range
where at time over 5000
men were employed. 1t is GER
tain that a few months Of idle
ness will find hundreds of fam
lies in destitution. The sever
al mining companies have al
lowed their employees all unoc-
cupied lands for use as PIN
gree farms, but the army
worms have destroyed the last
hope of the miners of having
at least vegetables to keep
body and soul together during
the coming winter. The poor
fund is exhausted and there
are a large number of out
standing orders and the idle
miners and their families are
therefore staring starvation in
the face.

ON THEIR GUARD.

London, Aug. 1.-The Pos
publishes a long article or
England's relation with Ger
many in the course Of which il
says:
The maintenance of British
rights in America, Africa and
Asia may at any time involve
the necessity of fighting Amer
lea, France and Russia. 1t be
hooves us, therefore, to con-
slider our relations with other
powers. 1t is a fact that in
January the question of how to
best fight the British navy was
very seriously considered at
Berlin, and the plan of a cam
paign against England was
worked out by a strategist
most competent to deal with
that problem. This fact has
never been published before,
and we are bound to admit
that the present tone of the in
spired German press ought to
put our statesmen on their
guard.
