Washington. June l6,--Army officers who

the prospect of an early encounter Of the

The Cata:pa Strike.

The men employed by the Catalpa
Mining Company went out on a strike
last Sunday. 1t is alleged that the strike
was the result of a cut in wages, the men
having received $500 per day, up to the
9th OF June, on which date they were re-
duced to s2.75 per day. 1t is claimed by
the miners, that the mine is a wet one.
and that it Is customary In all Colorado
camps, to pay miners Of wet ground. from
twenty-five to- fifty cents per day, more
than is paid in dry workings. The LANCE
regrets that there should be any friction
between the mine owners and the men,
and hopes their differences can be ad-
jisted speedily and satisfactorily. The
Catalpa Mine is a property of great
promise, and should be developed, as
there is strong reason for believing it
would prove good advertiser for this
camp. The force of men who were work
ing on this property, are all Crystal men
and capable miners, and it is only fair to
assume that they have the good of the
camp at heart, therefor we must concede
that they are only asking for what they
believe to be their just due.

The Inez neeting.

The Stockholders meeting of the Inez
Gold and Silver Mining Company was
held at the company's Office in Crystal
Tuesday, June 14th, at two o'clock p. m.
There were present and represented by
proxy about four-fifths of all the stock
outstanding. The deliberations of the
body were pleasant and harmonious and
resulted in the collection of the old
board of directors, with but one change,
the substitution of Mr.. Parnaeie for Mr..
Howard The membership of the board
for the ensuing year is as follows: A. w.
Bailey, w. S. Perry, Geo G. Eaton, C. II
Parmeie, Nell J. Carr, S. T. Collins and
Geo. G. Allen.
After the adjournment of the stock
holders meeting the directors met to
elect officers for the ensuing year, with
the result that the former officials were
re e-elected:-
A. w. Bailey, President.
W. S. Perry, Vice President
Geo. &. Eaton, Secretary & Treasurer.
Managing committee: A. w. Bailey,
w. s. Perry, Geo. c. Eaton.
H. W. Clark was retained as General
Attorney for the ensuing year.
1t was resolved by the board Of direc-
tors to instruct their brokers to immedi-
ately place sufficient amount of stock
to enable the managing committee to
carry forward certain amount of needed
work. 1t is believed the Inez Company
will be doing more work within two
months than at any time since the sum-
mer and autumn of lazt year.

The Lead King has commenced taking

In the Inez work is being done on a

make it dividend payer soon.

The work on the Finley Lode is being

altogether probable an ore body will be
opened at slight depth.
