Al II m, Wednesday. President
Mitchell made the following state
ment:
Up to this hour at least 80 tele-
graphic reports have been received
from local unions giving the action
taken by them Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning These reports
are substantially as follows:
THE mine workers resolved not to
return to work until the demands as
formulated at the Shamokin conven-
ton are granted, or until the strike
is called off by a convention of the
mine workers or President Mitchell.
and IF ALL THE TROOPS IN THE
UNITED STATES WERE BROUGHT
HERE THEY COULD NOT FORCE
THE MEN BACK TO WORK. The re-
ports are still coming in rapidly. and
among them there is not one dis
senting voice. The vote in all the To-
Gals so far heard from was unani-
nous. There are more than 800 10.
Gals. and all will have been heard
from by Wednesday night. Some of
the unions were compelled to meet
Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning. so as TO not interfere with
the school-children, many school
houses being the meeting places of the
organization"

from Buffalo early Wednesday morn
ing. The chief of the miners had
nothing to say regarding Tuesdays
trip, and also declined to discuss
President Roosevelts proposition for
ending the strike. He will not even
indicate when he will give his an
aver to the president, but it is not
probable he will do so until after he
has received the representatives of
all the local unions. Several of the To-
Gals met Tuesday and Tuesday night.
All of them voted to stay out, and 1t
Is predicted that when the complete
returns are in, it will be found that
the vote to continue the strike will
be nearly unanimous.
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked if he
thought any men would return to
work, after the entire national guard
of the state had been placed on duty
in the coal belt. he said
The best answer to that question
will be the action of the local I'M
ions"
The mail matter received at strike
headquarters is increasing as the
thermometer goes down. Probably
the largest mail since the strike was
inaugurated was received Wednesday.
Scores of letters are from eccentric
persons, giving advice as to what to
do, and many are received from per-
sons who want the strike ended. so
that they can get coal. One postal
card reached headquarters from Can
ada, on which was written; please
take the advice in third chapter, 14th
verse, St. Luke gospel, and lei us have
some coal.

Proposed Electric Road.

The Carson NetOs says that the
Truckee River General Electric
Company, which is establishing
branch headquarters in Carson, has
in contemplation the construction OF
an electric road from Carson to
Gardnerville, also that the road may
be extended on into Smith Valley,
and from there down through Ma
son Valley to connect with the G. 4
G. at or near Wabuska.
There is no doubt that such a road
would be paying institution right
now, to say nothing of the new bust
ness which it would create. With
such a road to give this section
cheaper transportation our mining
industry would be much more rap
idly developed, and our agricultural
interests would also be greatly adj
vanced. There is no sign that our
wagon road from this valley to the
reilroad it to be improved for some
time to come, and an electric road is
an enterprise which would be most
cordially welcomed by every resi-
dent of this valley and Smith Val

The Storm.

Monday of this week the wind
blew through this valley at hur-

off quite cold, and Wednesday morn

about an inch of snow. During the
day it mostly disappeared during
the the time the sun shone. We'd
nesday night another light shower
of snow fell, but Thursday and yes
terday the weather was warmer,
and there is hardly any snow left in
the valley, although the surround
ing hills are covered to pretty
good depth. There are indications
of more storm before the weather
clears up.

About ROCkiand.

Messrs. Stanton and Stafford, who
spent last week looking at their
property in Rockland-the Nevada
Chief mine-came down from that
camp last Saturday and continued
on to Los Angeles. They are very
well satisfied with the outlook for
the mine. There are several thou
sand tons of ore in sight. Two men
will be employed during the Winter
doing further development work.
In the Spring the pipe line spoken of
in a former issue will be laid to
bring in sufficient water, the mill
will possibly be enlarged to ten
stamps, a full crew of men be
employed in the mine, and Rockland
made lively little camp. The cold
weather and snow and bad roads
prevent this being done before next
Spring.

A Straase Story.

Judge Mack stated to a Virginia
City Enterprise reporter this week
that evidence had come into his pos
session which proved that Broker
Clarke, who was supposed to have
committed suicide in his office some
eighteen years ago, had really been
murdered by two parties. The men
alleged to have committed the muir
der have since died. 1t will be
remembered that Clarke was found
dead in his office, and when found
his body was lying partly in an
open vault with revolver with one
chamber empty beside him. Old
timers who remember the circum-
stances of the case refuse to believe
that a murder was committed.

Not So MANY.

An exchange says that the great
est record ever made by pocket
mine is that of the Bonanza, i'll Tu-
olumne county, Cal, which has pro-
duced over S2,ooo,ooo, about 100000
coming from one pocket.
This is mere bagatelle compared
to the prod of the Wilson
mine, at Pinegrove, this State, which
may be termed pocket, or deposit
mine. From this mine the owners
and leasers have taken over 5000
600, and the largest deposit of ore
taken out was about 100000 tons.
The mine has only been worked to a
depth of 200 feet at that.

The Best Remedy for Group.
Erorn the Atchiaon KAN. Dailu Glohe.


This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awaken
ed in the middle of the night by
whoop from one of his children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to
be lost, in case of Group, asa revolver
is sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better, and does
not cost so much. 1t causes the pa
tient to throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as
the croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. 1t never fails
and is pleasant and safe to take. For
sale by M. 4. Leavitt.
