They Can't Agree.

Chicago, Jan. %. A combination Of
the operators of Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania, having IL votes of the
SO in the conference with the miners, on
Friday defeated the very first PROPOSE
tion which came before the conference
that of mine rum" or gross
weight. When the special session,
which was held Friday night, adjourned
at ten o'clock there was n feeling that
the opposing sides were farther apart
than they were on the first day of the
meeting. President Ratchford and
James Farms, of the miners union, ia
vored a double scale rather than have
the convention adjourn without arriv-
ing at an agreement. This proposition
is what Secretary Ryan, of the Illinois
state organization, denomiDates "bi-
coalism," and he declares that the Hi
nois men will have none of it.

MINERS GAIN A POINT.
Conference ut Chicago Decides on the
Eight-HOur Day.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Eight hours will
constitute a days work in all the
bituminous coal fields of Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia on and after June l, 1898. This
important provision was made Satur-
day afternoon at the joint convention
of coal miners and mine owners. The
action affects the welfare of 100000 or
ganized coal miners, the reduced hours
of labor giving opportunity for work to
5000 more men, estimated on the re-
duced output of 1896 and 1897, and to
a much greater number, with the an
ticipated output in 1898. The resolu-
ton which was presented is as follows:
Resolved. That the acknowledged days
work in the five states of the competitive
field be eight hours after June l, 1898, pro-
vided the same is established and in oper-
alton satisfactory to miners and operators
after the 1st day of May, 1885,"
After it was explained that the pro-
visionary clause of the resolution was
for the purpose of giving the United
Mine Workers an opportunity to or
ganize the men at work in the fields of
West Virginia the resolution was adopt
ed and system of work among union
coal miners which their representa-
tives have battle for for many years be-
came reality.
Then the question of an advance in
the pay of the miners was taken up and
Operator Chapman, of Ohio, offered the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That an advance in pay OF
ten cents per ton be paid to miners of the
competitive districts of the five states after
June 16, 1898, the same conditions of opera
ton existing throughout the competitive
field"
Three substitutes and amendments
were offered to this resolution, all
questions of great moment to the con-
vention being tackled on in one way or
another. Discussion for two hours fol-
lowed and through series of votes the
propositions were showed under.

Discovery of Great Mother Lode -
Tales of Returning Miners.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 10. - The news
brought by the treasure-laden miners
who have just arrived from the Klon-
dixie on the steamer Corona is impor-
tant chiefly in that it is confirmatory of
the discovery of the great mother lode.
w. II. WEIGH, II. T. Coffin and II. l..
Burt are authority for the statement
that the original strike was made at the
upper end of claim No. so, Eldorado,
while two stringers, one at No. 81 and
another yet lower down, were subse-
quently located. Throughout the dis
trict the discovery is accepted as assur-
ance of the permanency of the district
as a rich gold mining field. AS to the
placer diggings, they continue rich.
Powder creek, an affluent of Quartz
creek, has been having boom, pans of
1915 and 81 being common thing.
OF course the stream was located as
soon as the first important discovery
was made. All Gold creek shows pans
of $40 to 500, while the miners ON
Hunker creek, Henderson, Dominion,
the Big Salmon and the Stewart all de-
clare themselves satisfied with the pros
pect.
One of the first men to stake ground
on Eldorado and the very last man out
of the Klondike country was Andrew
Olsen, known as "The Big Swede." He
is notable as being the owner of the
claim on which the biggest Klondike
nugget has yet been found. The lump
of gold was valued at 1856.
Replying to request for an estimate
of this winters gold dust of the camp,
Joe Campbell, one of the returning
miners, said: eve have done a great
deal of figuring on that and it now APP
pears that the output, Notwithstanding
the scarcity of food and light, will be
from $12, 900, 900 to 15,OOO,O 900"

free silver leaders have resolved upon
an experiment in political campaign
work. Under the influence of Senator
Jones, Representative Mcmillan, Chaun.
cey f. Black, Representatives Slayden,

The first play to be produced is "the
Curse of Cold" which, the free silver
ties claim, is another "Uncle Toms

pect the greatest results. Senator
Stewart predicts great success for it,
and Senator Allen thinks it will be re-
ceived by the west and south enthus-
iastically. Samuel Gompers, president,
and Charles Morrison, secretary of the
