Turtle creek mines are completely idle,
and the Plum creek men are slowly
but surely coming into line with the
men encamped in the vicinity. Yes

to quit as soon as they clean up the
coal now lying in their rooms. There

Turtle creek, $50 at Plum creek and 800
at Sandy creek. If this number is not
sufficient to deter the DeArmit miners
from going to work, all these camps
