TO SETTLE THE STRIKE.
A Conference Of Mine Leaders and
Operators at Columbus.

A Conference Of Mine Leaders and
Operators at Columbus.
Pittsburg, Sept. 2. - Pittsburg coal
operators met th'. national executive
board of the Uni ~ Mine Workers Of
America this mo, uing at Columbus
A confarence is ,Sng held, and it is
very probable that the big strike will
be settled, not, however, until the min
ers of the Plttsburg district have a say.
This, in brief, is the situation, and
hopes are high that settlement will
follow the conference.
That the miners officials think ia
vorably Of the proposition submitted
by Thomas E. Young, on behalf Of
the Senator Hanna interests, is very
evident. A private message from Dis
trict President Dolan says the propo-
sition will be considered, but that he
was in favor Of standing out for the
SO cent rate, pending arbitration. If
the executive board decides otherwise,
he said, he would not agree to it unless
his constituents were consulted.
From one of the operators it was
learned that some of the local officials
of the miners are in favor of accept
ing the proposition, and it Is almost
certain that a convention will be called.
Whether the miners of the district will
agree to the compromise is another
question. Many are of the opinion that
they can win by holding out a short
time longer, as the operators must have
coal for the lake trade,
Secretary Warner issued a letter to
the miners yesterday, assuring them
that no settlement would be made at
Columbus below the So cent rate with
out first consulting them in convention.
w. P. DeArmitt, president of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company,
last evening attached the signature of
his company to the uniformity agree
ment. Those having in charge the Sc
curing Of signatures now feel confident
that the uniformity plan will soon be
an assured fact.

FROM THE
GOLD FIELD
The Impressions Of a Trained Newspaper
Man Now at Dawson.
PLENTY OF GOLD IN SIGHT
The Man Who Comes Here TO Mine Does
so at the Expense of Health and
Happiness Provisions will
be Very Scarce.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-The Bulletin
has received a letter from Charles
Haines, dated Dawson City, July &C.
Mr.. Haines is a well known newspaper
writer. and his letter is the first writ
ten by a trained newspaper man to
come out Of the Klondike gold regions
He says: The rich diggings have been
comparatively idle during the summer
although the output from Eldorado and
Bonanza Creeks was famous, and there
is plenty of gold in sight. There is
every prospect of an immense output
Of gold from this district next spring
The total output this season is, as
near as 1 can judge about $1,000, OOO
but very little ground has been worked
and the dumps will, like some OF the
tailings Of old California placers, pan
out thousands Of dollars when worked
with improved machinery. The placers
are the most puzzling and deceiving
1 have ever seen. Imagine a man work
ing on good color and finding the
ground worth only a few dollars per
day, and then turning to a waste of
mud and moss, with no surface indica-
tions, and unearthing a bonanza. That
is the situation here and all over
Alaska.
THE man who comes here to mine
does so at the expense Of health and
happiness, and it is with him a ques-
ton of making fortune or chances
with death. -Four hundred valuable
diggings are stretched along creeks, and
every digging is a fabulous mineof gold.
Yet there are weary men who have
gone and returned to Dawson after
searching the great country there
abouts and never a nugget do they
show for their toll. In short, the miner
guesses at 1t, and locates any and
everywhere. In 10 cases out of 20 he
misses 1t, and has to wait another year.
Dawson is merely a collection of
log huts, saloons and a mass of tents
about 600 in number When the long
nights come and the glass goes down
to Go degrees below zero there will be
Intense suffering here, and 1 shudder tc
think Of the results.
Provisions are going to be very
scarce, and there is every reason to
believe the town will go on short ra-
tions during the winter, and that
scurvy will be rampant.
Reports Of other strikes are con
stantly received here, and many are
authentic, so far as Stewart and Polly
rivers are concerned, but nothing like
so rich as the Klondike has been re-
ported. Quite a number of people are
preparing to leave for Juneau, in case
the steamers cannot get through with
provisions, and the outlook for a good
grub supply is not encouraging"

THE STRIKE
SITUATION !
Serious Trouble Feared in the Hazleton
Region.
STRIKERS ARE ON The MARCH
The Employees Of the Lehigh and wilkes
barre Company Reject the Com
pany's ofer-No Compulsion
to Deal in Company
Store.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
HAzLEToN, Sept. 2, p. m.-The striking
miners have adopted the tactics which were
followed by the strikers in the western part
Of the state.
At 11:30 this morning they started at
Audenried and marched north, stopping
work at all the wssheries enroute and COM
pelling the employees to join them in their
march The crowd is by no means assuring
in appearance. Many of them are as rough
looking as can be imagined and seem very
determined. They are armed with clubs,
crowbars, pickhandles and such other mis-
celaneous weapons as they have been able to
reach and carry conveniently.
The strikers marched on to Beaver Brook
and stopped all work there. A return march
was then made to Yorktown, thence to
Silver Brook, where they closed down the
works, after which they stopped all work at
Springbrook (the old Yorktown colliery).
At this writing the strikers are on the
road to Jeanesville and it is believed that
they will stop the work there and compel
the employees to join the procession There
is only one oolliery in operation at Jeans
vile.
A message just received from along the
line Of march says that after efecting close
down at GAINESVILLE, the strikers will march
on to HazletOn and stop all colliery work in
the city and vicinity.
1t is difficult at this time to say what will
happen. Thus far there has been no clash
between the operators and strikers and, to all
appearances the latter are striving to avoid
any. The march of the strikers has been
unimpeded and the demand for work to stop
has been promptly and quietly complied with
at each place visited. The spirit Of the
marchers appears to be such that the slightest
resistance might lead to a conflict.
Some messages report that the marching
strikers number $500, but conservatives place
the number at 1900, although it is admitted
that the number is considerably swelled by
additions TO the ranks at each place where
work is stopped, and by the time the strikers
reach Hazleton they will undoubtedly have
assumed large proportions.
As they march along the strikers keep up
chorus of shouts and frequently indulge in
significant gestures, but in no case thus far
has any attempt at violence been made
against person, or property.
Much uneasiness is manifested over the
probable outcome when the marching strikers
reach here. 1t is expected that the demand
for stoppage Of work will be promptly COM
piled, with as at the other places visited, but
as to whether the strikers will then march
quietly homeWards or make a demonstration
here, is the question that causes uneasiness.

Heir to Two MIIIinns

Oakland, Cal, Sept, s.-Fred Horton,
young flour miller of Los Angeles,
has fallen heir to a fortune of s., ,OOO 900.
amassed by his father, Philip Horton.
well known Californian, the news of
whose sudden death three weeks ago
has been received by relatives in Oak
land through the United States consul
at Guayamas. The youth, now 10 years
OF age, was a child when his parents
were divorced. The mother, who sub
sequently remarked, took the boy with
her, and the father left California. He
settled in Mexican town, near Quay
amas, and there established a flour
milling business.
