effect that the men who robbed the Great
Northern tram at Wagner, Mont, last
Wednesday secured $4,000 in incomplete

treasury numbers were Y-934 ,349 to Y
935, las. The bank numbers were printed
in the lower left hand corner of the notes
and the treasury numbers in the upper
right hand corner The charter number
was 576l, printed in bold face, brown fig
ures across the face of each note. 1t was
stated at the department that as soon as
notes of this character are shipped to the
bank they are regarded by the law as in
circulation and are redeemable by the
government as we'll as the bank, which
has on deposit treasury bonds to cover
their redemption.
As the express companies are under
bond for the safe delivery of all shipments
OF this character they alone are response

Rossland, b. c., July n.--At O'Clock
Thursday morning from 900 to 1000 miners
employed at the Rossland- Great Western
mines will be on a strike This Is the
calculation of the miners union which
took such action last night. 1t remains
to be seen how many men will accept the
union order, but the presumption Is that
the mines will be closed for short time
at least, while both sides prepare for the
contest. The statement IL made that
many members of the organization and
nonunion members will refuse to go on
strike. and the mines have guaranteed to
protect all such.
The Centre Star and War Eagle, to-
gether with other working mines. such as
the Iron Mask. /. X. L., Homestake and
Velvet. are not affected as yet. The union
men say their case Is still under advise
ment
Cause Of the Strike.
The cause of the strike Is given out
by the union as arising from the muckers
demand for increase from $3.50 to 70 per
day for wages.
