Work on the Gold Coin property in
the Salt River mountains south of
Phoenix is going forward rapidly and
a mere satisfactory showing could not
be asked for by those interested. The
working shaft. which was begun but a
week or two ago, Is down about % feet.
Thought it will be some distance yet
before it reaches the big dyke that is
believed to be the main ore body and
which lies on an incline, several nice
little stringers of ore, off-shoots from
the main body. have been encountered.
all of which horn well. The new whim,
cable. etc. purchased in Denver is now
in the Phoenix freight depot and will
be erected at once and sinking pushed

What may prove to be remarkable
copper strike was found a few days
ago near the Pixies Peak mine north
west of Phoenix. As yet it is prac-
tically but surface indication. as only
Il few feet of work has been done. Bus
SO far as indicated the vein seems to
be about ten feet wide. Samples
brought to the office OF L. f. Hewins
are at least very good to look at, as
there are numerous large nuggets or
chunks of almost pure native copper
that can he Whitfield with knife The
ore also appears to carry rich silver
values. L. e. Hewins. who is interest
ed in the Pixies Peak property. will
leave in day or two to lock at the
new strike.

LOWELL Mass, March 23.-Lowell is
threatened with one of the greatest strikes
in its history as a result of the communi-
cation sent to the Textile Union by the
mill agents in reply to the official demand
of that body for an advance in wages for
the textile operatives of the city. The COM
munication was read at the meeting of the
Textile Council this afternoon and was
positive unconditional refusal of the de-
mands. II was not joint note, but each
agent answered for himself. The language
however was identical. 1t is believed that
the note was framed at a meeting OF the
mill officials held in Boston last Thursday
night.
The increase demanded was to have gone
into effect tomorrow. but because of the
delay in the reply the various unions repre-
sented in the central body have not had an
opportunity to express their opinion on the
new aspect of the situation, so it has been
decided to postpone final action until a
meeting on Wednesday evening next
Meantime special meetings of the unions
will be held and vote will be taken on
the question of strike. An informal vote
was taken to-day. and it is said that three
fourthS of the number present favored a
strike. the others reSerVing their decision
until Wednesday night.
At a meeting of the Trades and Labor
Council to-day the action of the Textile
Council was approved.
An estimate of the operatives who would
be directly affected by a general strike
places the number at 1920.

ExcIusiOn-House Programme.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-The oleomar-
garine bill will receive the greater share
of the attention of the Senate during the
present week, but If there should be time
when no one is prepared TO speak on II,
Senator Proctor, who will have charge of
IL, will give way to the Chinese exclusion
bill, which is in the hands of Senator Pen
rose. Senator Proctor will call the oleo-
margarine bill UP after the expiration of
the morning hour tomorrow and will make
a statement of the intent and purpose Of
the bill. II is probable that further con-
sideratOn then will be postponed for day
Senator Proctor EXPRESSES the opinion
that the final vote on the Dill will not be
long postponed. and II is understood that
the members of the committee on agricul-
ture who are opposed to the biz wil not
contend for many days for debate. Sena-
tor Proctor already has presented to them
the desirability of fixing a time for vote.
and. while many senators have made no
opposition TO this proposition. Senator
Bailey thus far has objected. The present
indications are that the bill will not be be-
fore the Senate a great length of time.
Senators Penrose. Mitchell and Fairbanks
will be among those who will make
speeches i'm support of the Chinese bill
This measure will provoke little con-
troversy The Indian appropriation bill
probably will be reported from committee
during the week and will receive early
attention

the signal corps consisting of seventeen
men has been attacked by 200 Moros near
Paran-Paran, Mindanao. One of the signal

The United States transport Buford has
arrived here. She has on board a detach-
ment of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, a
squadron of the Eleventh Cavalry and fifty
pack mules.
There have been four more cases of
cholera here, and two more deaths from the
plague reported. The health authori-
ties believe ,i&t their rigid precautions
have averted an epidemic.
AS General Chaffee did not want the men
of the Third Infantry to run the risk Of
cholera as a result of contact with the
city, that regiment has already been taken
aboard the United States transport Grant,
which will sail for San Francisco one week
ahead of her scheduled time.
Five cases of cholera have been reported
from the provinces.

announcement CT Secretary treasurer W
b. Wilson, of the United Mine Workers OF
America that strike probably would be
called soon of the $500 miners in this State
and Virginia caused no surprise here,
where both sides seem to be anticipating it,
II is believed that a conference between
the operators and the miners of the two
States viii be held soon, although there are
reports that the demands of the miners
may Be made without further conferences.
Representatives of the operators have been
here for the past two days from the Kama
wha, New and Elk river districts. Among
other matters discussed was the purpose
of the United Mine Workers to send organ
izers into the New and kanawha river
fields for the purpose of organizing the
miners. The United Mine Workers organ
ization has never been recognized in either
of these fields. and the situation is causing
the operators uneasness.
The operators also discussed car supply
and wages for the coming year, and COM
mittee was appointed to meet committee
from the West Virginia miners assCcia-
tion with the view of arranging the wage
scale.

of peace, and again engage in a discussion
of possible peace terms, expressing the

lines but that the Beers cannot expect
