GONE TO INSPECT MINES.
Commission to Spend Four Days More in
Various Coal Workings.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 5.-The mine
strike commissioners have gone to
Hazleton to spend four days in further
acquainting themselves with the phys
ical features OF mining. They had not
decided, up to the time of leaving, how
they would divide their time while in
the middle and lower districts. It
was definitely decided, though, that not
more than four days would be devoted
to the trip. Assistant Recorder Neill
was left behind to receive the miners
statement from President Mitchell.
On Thursday it is expected that the
operators counter statement will be
presented. The commissioners will
then take a recess until Friday, No
vember IA, by which time the two
parties will be expected to have com.
pleted the preparation OF their cases
and to be ready to g6 on with the hear
ings. The commissioners will also de-
vote the interim to preparations for tht
hearisgs by acquainting Themselves witt
the details of the two statements.

COMMISSIONERS GET TO WORK.
Coal Strike Board Starts on Its Tour of
- Inspection of the Mines.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 31.-The seven
commissioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to adjust the differences be-
tween the anthracite mineworkers and
their employers made tour yesterday
of the extreme upper coal fields, and
saw every step taken in the production
of coal, from the time it is blasted from
the ground, hundreds of feet below the
surface, up to the point where it is sent
to market, ready fer the use of the con-
sumner. The arbitrators had AN inter-
esting day, and returned to their hotel
at $50 O'Clock grimy from coal dust
and tired after eight busy hours of OBJ
servation and investigation.
The trip was novelty to most of
those in the commissioners party,
some of whom never had been in the
hard coal regions. The commissioners
displayed the greatest interest in every
feature of coal mining, and went about
their work in manner that was pleas
ing to behold. The mining superin-
tendents accompanied the commission
ers. The seven arbitrators had to en-.
dure many discomforts, make their way
through wet places in the mines,
almost crawl along some of the gang
ways in the workings, and pass through
clouds of coal dust in the breakers.
Notwithstanding this, their eagerness
for information was not diminished,
and they expect to put in another days
work today in this vicinity.
/ It would be unfair to say that one
commissioners displayed more interest
than another, but it can be truly said
that Bishop Spalding asked more ques-
tions than any one of the others. He
was usually in the center of group of
commissioners, and asked many ques-
tions of those who are employed in and
about the mines.
All the commissioners were good lis
teners, but poor takers, when it came,
down to getting an expression from
them on any feature of the mining
business. From their actions today, it
is cetain they have argeed not to say
what they think of the questions that
will come before them. Several per-
sons approached one or another Of the
commissioners during the day, merely
for the purpose of having him say what
he thought of something he saw and in
each case the inquirer was rebuffed.
Yesterdays tour consisted of an in
spection of No. mine of the Hillside
coal company, operated by the Erie
company, and the coal breaker of the
Delaware & Hudson company. The
former is located at Forest City, %
miles north OF this city, and the break
er at Carbondale. four miles south of
Forest City.

WEALTHY INDIAN ROBBED.
Had $22, 900 Hid in an Outbuilding, which
Three White Men Discovered.

Three White Men Discovered.
Butte, Montana, Nov. 5.-A special
from Plains says that one of the most
sensational robberies that has ever oc-
Cured in the history of Western Mon
tana was enacted near Plains yesterday,
news of which has just reached this
place. A wealthy Flathead Indian
named Machell was robbed Saturday
night of $22, 900 in cash, the money
consisting of 800 bills and 500 gold
pieces.
Machell was visitor in Plains Sat-
urday night, and during his absence, at
about 10 o'clock at night, a man
dressed as squaw called at his home
on Camas Prairie and engaged in con-
versation with Machell's squaw. Mrs.
Machell noticed that the visitor was not
a souaw, but white man, as he could
not talk good Flathead, but she did not
suspect what was wrong until she saw
two men run from an outbuilding, car
rying something with them. Then it
was that her suspicion was aroused, as
the wealth was stored in that building.
The robbers jumped on their horses,
which were near by, and the one that
had been talking to her joined them,
and the three rode hurriedly away.
As soon as she reached the Plains
with the news, several of the white
citizens of that place accompanied
Machell to his home to see if the story
was true, which was proved on theil
arrival there. A score of young In.
dians started out to try to locate the
robbers, but no clew has been found.
MacheIl is the wealthiest full-blooe
Indian on the reservation. He ba'
large herds of cattle and horses, ane
was always known to have money, bu
few people knew that he kept it a
home. It develops, however, that tn
old Indian was afraid to trust hi
money in the bank, and kept it in al
old trunk in an outbuiiding at hi
ranch.

Strike at Several Mines is Renewed Upon
Orders from President Mitchell.

Hazleton, Pa, Nov. 1.-The strike
at the seven collieries of Coke Bros. &
Co., the four mines of u. B. Markle &
Co., and the Silver Brook operation of
]. S. Vents & Co., was officially re-
newed today through an order issued
by District Secretary Gallagher, of the
United Mineworkers, upon instructions
from President Mitchell. The strikers
at those mines were not permitted to
return to work in body, the Coxes in
sisting that their employees make per-
sonal application for their former posts,
and G. B. Markle & Co. requiring each
man before going back to work to
promise to abide by the decision OF the
arbitration commission. The mine
workers allege that the object of tfese
requirements is discrimination against
men who were prominent in the strike.
The trouble at Silver Brook is similar
to that at Coke Bros.
