Park City, April 1.-THE trouble at
the Daly-West took on a serious aspect
this morning, and the excitement in
town reached the highest pitch. It was
learned early that Brockett, the objec-
tionable engineer, had not left town, as
reported, but had returned to the mine
and was at the engine. A mass-meet-
ing Of the employees Of the mine was
held in the Dewey theatre. and it de-
Veloped that the miners had another
grievance, heretofore unmentioned.
They were obliged to leave the top ten
minutes before time going on, an1 re-
main underground until ten minutes
after time coming off shift. The sdme
time being required going to and com
ing from dinner. This, they claimed,
was against the law, and they resolved
to settle matters at once.
The miners marched to the mine in a
body, and were met by Foreman Nc
Sorley and Chief Engineer Thompson
TO whom they presented their demands,
and a. peaceful settlement was at once
effected. The engineers are to work
only eight hours, and Brockett is to re-
main. The miners will hereafter leave
the top on minimum time, and viii re-
main in their places until relieved.
which is the rule with the other minas
in the camp.
The miners who objected to Brockett
on account of incompeteney refused to
return to work. but the night shift went
on tonight, and no more trouble is an

while the Mammoth was handling some
ore that was of very high grade.
Twenty men We're at work on the Des-
eret, putting up buildings, and viii do
the season.
Mr.. Snyder says that though there is
considerable ore being shipped, which
can be safely called high-grade, the
camp may be called a tonnage camp,
and is characterized as one which con-
tains immense deposits of low grade
ore. To handle this class of ore there

coming season. The Holland company.
of which he is the manager, will build

that the Deseret people viii have a
