Sixty Days.

Leadyille. Col. Sept. 26.-At late
hour last night Judge Overs OF the u jas,
trict court held long conference WIN
Gov. Mcintyre by telephone ana at us
conclusion took the train for Denver
It is believed this indicates some ne"
move on the part of the authorizes
Passed n Quiet Night.
The night passed without an attack Oh
any of the mines, although the s'riN I'M
are very much excited over the llnpo ~
fion of miners from Missouri by tne
Small Hopes company. IN the 'asn1
borhood Of HEX mine, where snaio
of thirty soldiers was stationed, tnele
was some shooting early this morniis'
but so far as known no one was ~
iured. The shooting was started ~
men who did not approach closely enousI
to be clearly seen by the sentries CIV CIV
who fed when the guard returned nle.
The sixty-fve nonunion miners
brought in from Missouri Yesterday W.
nut to work this morning in the Marian,
Emmett and Small Hopes mines. lhey
will be lodged and fed in the Emme1'
shaft house, which will be well guarded.
w. III. Shaw, who procured these men
in Missouri, said today there were ouo
men registered for Leadville at nrs',
but that when they came to take tne
=
ty-six had "hunked.' The cause VI
this, he said, was fear.
New Men Arc Warned.
Last Sunday a letter supposed to be
from some member of the IeadVllic
Miners union reached Joplin ana wen,
the rounds of the miners who hau agreed
to take the places of the strikers. ~
warned all Missouri miners to keep away
from Leadyille or they would be killed
as soon as they reached the depot. Ot
the scventy-six who started Tor. mere,
eleven deserted on the way by snppln%
out of the cars unobserved during the
night The Missourians say they are
to receive So and $3.50 a day here: IN
Missouri their pay ran from Sl-J 10
$175 per day. Shaw says all of them
are American citizens, as he was IN
structed to hire no others.
The success of S. w. Mudd, the man
ager of the Small Hopes company, III
replacing the strikers on his properties
has encouraged other mine managers to
do likewise. Monday morning George
Campion will start M the Bison mlnc
with a full crew. The men necessary
to do this are said to be now in Lead
vile. hut they are not members of the
Miners union. The Bison is the larg-
est iron producer in the district.
The mne-owners hope to keep the
troops here thirty to sixty days and to
resume work in all of the mines that
have been closed on account of the
strike. 1t is not expected that this can
be accomplished without further destruc--
ton of property and probably loss of
life, but it is hoped before the National
guard is withdrawn by the governor to
rid the camp Of the men who instigate
deeds of violence.
Leadvillc. Col, Sept. 2S.-Among
the citizens the engrossins topic today
Il & thn nm a.
of five appointed at the strikers meet
ing Saturday evening TO consluer
whether or not it would be best to con-
tinue their fight or take measures to-
ward reaching n specific settlement.
Very naturally many of the strikers are
anxious to suppress news about TINS &C
ton having been taken. One OF Their
number confirmed it however, in & con-
versati had with him.
What do you think the committee OF
five is going to report?' he was asked.
Its hard to tell" he replied. Any
way. the whole thing is preliminary"
Despite the secretiveness of the mem
bers of the union, reports of their do
ings continue to become semi-public prop
erty. Those who are anxious to return
to work occasionally forget their pledges
of sccresy regarding what is going on
within their ranks. From an authOrlta'
tive source it was learned that as the
committee created at Saturday meet
ing now stands, two are in favor of adj
yising an attempt to make terms of
surrender, whilci three are in faver of
continuing the strike in its present
quesccnt vigor.
Adjt. Gen Moses has had a conference
with Gov. Mcintyre regarding an early
settlement but would say nothing as to
the result "All that [ can say now is
that there is no intention on the part of
the state to withdraw even a PARTON of
the troops
Everything is quiet today. The com
mittee may come to some decision to-
night.
