CUMBERLAND, Md, April 16.-
Now that the miners strike has reach
ed to West Virginia, there are grave
fears that trouble will occur. The
miners employed by the Davis Coal
Company, in the neighborhood of
Piedmont, who refused to go to work
this morning, having decided to strike
on Saturday are divided. A warm
meeting was held at Bloomington to-
night, when the employees of two of
the mines decided to return to work in
the morning at the risk of their lives.
The Georges Creek strikers state
that if an attempt is made to go to
work on the part of the West Vir-
ginia men, they will march to their
mines and compel them to quit. They
further say if the operators attempt
to force the men to work, they will in
wade West Virginia and organize a
strike that will tie that region up
1t is reported that the Elk Garden
region is about ready to strike through
sympathy.
An operator in this territory stated
tonight that they were securing for
eign labor and that as soon as they
have enough they propose to put them
to work and call upon the State mill
tia for protection.
1t is not believed that the miners
will hold out when they see that the
operators are determined to hold out,
although they claim that they hold
the key to the situation. They now
say that if the operators will meet
them in joint conference and settle
minor grievances that they will drop
the cent differential.
There is a scarcity of coal already
and the operators find that they will
not be able to meet urgent contract
obligations with coal from outside of
this territory as they had hoped when
the strike was first instituted.

OIL NEWS.

Special to the Register.
CADIZ, O., April 16.-Competent
judges give the oil output of Harrison
county as a little over six thousand
barrels a day. The North township
production including the wells in Scio
is about four thousand barrels. The
remainder is distributed throughout
the county, the next largest output be-
ing the Cadiz field. A careful estimate
of the amount of bonuses paid to
owners of land within the past year
shows that not less than $4,000 has
been paid to the farmers. The one
eighth royalty to land owners has
been about $350000 in the past year,
hence there has been over half mil
lion dollars poured into the pockets of
the citizens, that would have gone else
where, had not oil been discovered in
this county. Harrison county has
been a banner county for producing
nice clean wool, but now it bids fair
to be a banner oil producer.

w f anyone in SkagWav found social
matters at a standstill last week,
that one has not been reported.
The tremors that possessed the
earth and disturbed things mum
dane and material seemed to extend to the
social world. 1t was indeed an eQuilibrist
who maintained his balance and got
through without experiencing some sense
of the shock. The disturbance occupied
the early part of the week. and then came
readiustment. New lines were drawn, and
the open seas of social gaiety were sought
again with new enthusiasm. The rare
tales that filled the air caused manv self
scrunity and accounting, but WthaI, life
was revived, and the week must be credit
ed with having chronicled a long list OF
happy affairs.
A number of Skagway's best known
women met at the home of Mrs. F. /.
Keelar, on Main street Monday afternoon
and formed a new social organization,
which has been christened the Maggie
Club. There were twenty charter mem
bers, and since that time seventy more
names have been handed in. Officers were
elected as follows: President, Mrs. f. +,
Keear; vice president, Mrs. A. Reinhardt;
secretary, Mrs. DR.. A. w. Reid; treasurer,
Mrs. H. Movers. The object OF the club is
sociabiIitv, the promotion OF friendship
among the members and general improve
ment, The meetings will be held every
Monday. Anderson's hall will be the
meeting place for the present, and after the
completion of Elk's hall, the gatherings
will be held there. Men are admitted to
membership. and already large number
have handed in their names. The after
noon meetings will be exclusively for
women, and men and women will gather
jointly in the evenings. 1t is the purpose
of the members to furnish diversions of
genuine pleasure and also of profit. Gym.
nastics and calsthenics will receive atten-
ton. Already basket ball apparatus has
been ordered. Dances and socals will be
held occasionally. Those joining this
month will be accepted under the same con
ditions as the charter members. Those
who went in as charter members are:
Mesdames Keller, Moore, Reed, Hooker,

Tell the Story of the Boundary AS
Adhered to When the Gar Owned

A valuable report as TO what the Rus
SLAMS, from whom the United States pur-
chased Alaska, maintained as the bound
AIRY on the Dalton trail. was given by s.
Weitzman who was in the city from
Haines He said:
"'rre present provisional boundary runs
only four miles from tide water which
backs up the Chilkat river, The bound
ary in Russian days was at the summit of
the trail, far back. The Russians kept
their soldiers stationed at that summit.
This got this year from some of the old
est Indians living in Haines and Kluckwan
who were there in the time of the Rus
SLAMS. They remember we'll the Russians,
and at times had troubles with the czars
people, which they also remember.
"This summit at which the Russian
soldiers were is the place that should mark
the boundary today between the United
States and Canada. Sixteen miles BACK
from Klukwan are old huts or cabins in
which the Russians lived, and other cyl
dences of Russians in the district still re-
main, AT Klukwan is a Russian grave
yard, and over the graves wooden memoir
ial pieces bearing words in the Russian
language. The graves of Russians are COM
mon there.
"Another thing at Klukwan still in evil
dence are the cannons left there by the
Russians"
