MINERS
LEAVE TRANSVAAL,
Many Return to Negaunee, Mich,
Where They Will Work I'm
til War Ends.


Negaunee Mich, Nov. 11.-[Speciai]
-Ex-Ald. Henry B. Leman and Joseph
Wasley, Jr., who left here less than a
year ago and located in South Africa,
got back yesterday. They left for home
before hostilities with England began.
Capt. Harvey and Charles Chapman, alse
Negaunee men, who have been in South
Africa for some time, got cut of there.
They went to England, where they will
remain for a time before returning to
Negaunee. Joseph Wasley, ST., came
over with his son and Mr.. Leman. but
he went to Connecticut to spend a short
time with relatives.
The men assert that q great many or
the miners who were attracted TO Soutn
African gold fields on account of the big
wages offered have left there within the
past two months. Shortly before Presl-
dent kruger's ultimatum was issued the
operators of nearly all the mines posted
notices about their properties warning
the workmen that they would not be re-
sponSible for any damage done In case
Of a war between the two countries.
Many Of the men regarded this as hint
to get out. Some began 70 pack UP their
belongings and leave Immediately, while
others remained a short time and then
concluded they would be better off else
where. There are several other Negau-
nee men still In South Africa, though the
ones just back state that many Of them
intended to leave there before war was
declared. Leman and young Wasley
were forty days en- route.
All the refugees from South Africa will
take positions at the mines here, but
most Of them will return to that country
as soon as pea ce is declared. While there
they earned unusually good money.
