PHOENIX MINE MUTINY
Boarding House Menu and Christmas
at Bottom of It.

People who happened to be passing
along Washington street yesterday
afternoon at that point where Wall
street effects a junction with it. had
reason 30 believe that riot was in
progress. or that an attempt was being
made to hold up the Valley bank The
head of Wall street was filled by an
excited crowd, some of whose mem
bcrs were talking in a loud and angry
manner
The Indignation was directed against
superintendent Smith of TIE Phoenix
Mining company. The complaining
parties were nine men who had been
working at the mine. One Of the men
said that things had not been run
ming smoothly at the mine for some
time. The principal grievance was the
character of the food served at the
mine boarding house. which the miners
complained was growing inferior daily.
They Laid the matter before the sup
erintendent. and he told them that
they had i kick coming and that he
would join them in the protest. But
when the protest was formally made
the superintendent was found aligned
with the boarding house boss.
The miners determined to, come to
Phoenix for the double purpose of
spending Christmas and getting
enough to eat to last them until an
ether holiday should come. The sup
e-intendent was unwilling that any
man should leave the camp. so he is
sued an ultimatum. setting forth that
whoever went away need not return.
y more infammatory announcement
could not nave been made to 4 bcds-
or men of the Anglo-Saxon race just
al the beginning of the Christmas
season. They elected to celebrate
Christmas and called for their time. II
was made cut and checks on the Valley
bark were issued to the men fo- the
amount due each.
There was one thing about the
checks that the men did not observe
until their attention was directed to ii
at the bank. and that was that they
were made payable on JanIary IS. en-
tirely too late for Chris rfs purposes
The bank. notwithstanding the date OF
payment. might have cashed the
checks anyhow. considering the season,
bur Mir. Smith had taken an extra pre-
| caution again1t that contingency by
coming to town ahead OF the men and
stopping payment. That was what
caused the trouble in Wall street. The
indignation against the superintendent
| ran high, but there were no incendiary
| threats
