INDEPENDENT OPERATORS HAVE
A GRIEVANCE,
DESIRE TO HAVE A HEARING
Refuse to Meet President Mitchell and
His Associates to Discuss Set
tIement of Strike,

New York, Nov. 25.-Soon after a
telegram arrived from Washington
this afternoon announcing that a bas
is for strike settlement had been
agreed upon by President Mitchell
and Wayne MacVeagh in this city
President Baer of the Reading receiv.
ed an announcement here that indi
Gates. that the settlement of the cues.
tion will be left to the presidential
strike commission after all.
It looks like victory for the indie
pendent operators, who came down
from Pennsylvania today to protest to
the coal presidents against taking the
settlement Of the questions involved in
the strike away from the commission
at this time. All of the independent
operators this afternoon refused an
invitation to meet John Mitchell and
his associates for talk over the set
on Friday.
independent Men Protest.
The Independent operators, who
control Is per cent of the output of
the anthracite region, have not been
| considered thus far in the hearings of
the commission. They assert that
they have been unfairly treated and
that it will not be right to make set
tlement unless they have something
to say about it. If forced into a set
Element by the coal road presidents,
they threatened to make it warm
for the coal carrying trust.
At meeting held today the indie
pendent operators formulated their
demands. These demands were pre-
sented to the coal road presidents at
a meeting held this afternoon in the
Jersey Central building. At the con-
clusion of the meeting, President
Baer. who had been chosen spokes-
man by his associates. made this
statement:
Must Have Facts.
'The independent operators met
the coal presidents who had signed
the request to the president of the
United States. They presented pro-
test against any adjustment being
made at this time, insisting that the
principles involved were so serious
and affected so many interests that
it was necessary now to have the
commission hear all the facts and
pass it's judgment upon the whole
controversy.
''In the midst of the conference the
request from Washington to the oper-
ators of both classes to meet Mr.
Mitchell and his associates next Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock. The men
present, without dissent, instructed
Mr.. Baer to make the following an
swer:
"The conditions are such that no
substantial progress towards an ad
justment can be made by the suggest
ed meeting. The general judgment
of the operators is that it will be
best, for the present, to go on with
the hearing"

Few people outside the pro- fession realize the amount of labor and thought connected with the weekly issue ofa small country paper. Unlike the met ropolitan dailies where every de- partment has it's special line of workers, the editor of q country sheet is generally the mechanical engineer as well, from the menial position of devil to the deep thinking, scintilating genius of the enitorial sanctum, and must be able to come down out of the realms of fancy to the sordid de- tails of sweeping out the office, without suffering any loss of dignity by the transition. All these things, however, are only mere incidents of a busy life. The hardest trials which confront the country paper is the effort to evolve new ideas from week to week and avoid the eternal sameness of the news materials at its command. Almost any intelligent person can get up a newSy sheet for one or two issues; but after that he will find his brain refusing to evolve any, thing readable, and aside from the cllronicling of John Jones being in with. a load of pump kins, his efforts will hardly bear the criticisms of an exacting pub lic.-Kingman Arrow.

Are Sheep to be Excluded?

NO! All that bosh from the Phoenix press about the exclu- sion of the sheep from the Black Mesa Reserve is purely bunco.
 It is announced over the sigma ture of Mir. Hermann, the Com- missioner of the General Land Office, that the same regulations as existed last season will apply this year, except that the field has been divided intofour ranges, but these divisions will in no way affect the rules of last year.
 All reputable sheep owners who are not members of the Arizona Wool Growers Association should join the same at once, for all allotments of the range must be made through the association. All applications for membership in the association, and all appli- cations for the allotment of sheep and range should be made to the association not later than the 18th of March. All applications will be referred to Supervisor Breen.

While engaged in making a cut in the Wizard mine, on Big Bug, the graders opened up a body of ore eight feet wide and 400 feet long. A portion Of the rock was dumped into the grade but later the graders are piling it up by itself and saving it as it goes $3O.OO per ton in gold. The property is owned by J. P. Dillon and Pat O'Donnell. The right of way which they sold to the railroad company, traverses the claim lengthwise, and a DOT tion of it goes right over the ledge, which accounts for the opening up of this body of ore. This is said by people who are familiar with railroad building, to be the first case known to them where an ore body was en- countered by graders on a rail- road. Ofcourse the owners are considerably elated over the discovery.-J -Journal-Miner.

Three gentlemen who trespass- ed upon the reserve contrary to rules and the terms of their per- mits, have been turned over to the association to be delt with as it thinks best, and two other gentlemen who were more flag rant in their violations, will not be considered by the department this year under any circumstan- ces. Let all take warning not to violate any rules in the future.

From time immemorial the Yuma Indians have cremated their dead. The custom is so old and time-honored amongst them that no Indians memory rum meth to the contrary. The Yuma Sentinel says: Lately an attack of measles has been playing hay oc amongst the Yumas across the Colorado river and nightly the red glare of the funeral pyre lights up the horizon all around the mountain chain encircling reservation. The scent of the burning flesh can be sensibly per ceived in the atmosphere by any one in this city who has his oltactories exposed at the time. But with the dead dies every living thing belonging to the deceased. All other property likewise perished. This obliter- ation of all earthly possessions, of course, makes the Yumas the poorest Indian race in America, and always will, unless they are in some way restrained ill the exercise of this custom.

Rioting Continues.

Chicago, June 3.-Rioting broke out
again in the streets of Chicago today,

transfers strike.
Although great precaution had been
taken by the police to prevent crowds
from c%ongreating where wagons were

lection from the yards met with con
1ict.

ers.
Wagons from the yard were driven
to these stores and were being un-
loaded when a crowd OF spectators and
strikers began hooting and interfer-
ing with the n%on-union drivers.
The disturbance drew a mob of near
~ 1000 people to the scene. The po-
lice who were guarding the wagons
tried to preserve order, but were not
successful.
Two Irwin brothers seized axe
handles and in company with the po-
lice beat back the crowd. In the me-
lee Isaac Bean was thrown down a
stairway and had his back broken.

patrol wagon on the way to the riots
and dumped the policemen into the
street. A score or more of people
were arrested, but were released
again.
In other sections Of the city at
tempts were made to move meat, but
because of the large gatherings OF peo-
pie to watch the trouble. wagons we're
put back to the warehouses and un-
loaded.

employ of Thomas Cotter and were on
the way to the Cotter ranch in a
wagon when overtaken by the cyclone.
The cyclone vas watched by Chas.
McCulloch, who vas a mile distant.
He saw a cloud form in funnel shape
and move southwark. The swirling
mass struck the wagon and carried it
away without leaving q vestige. Mac
Alice and Darcy YER hurled from it
and carried. some distance.
When McCulloch reached the scene,
MacAfee was lying under a dead
horse, horribly crushed. He died with
in an hour after his arrival. About
Is yards distant was Darcy, lying un
conscious and badly bruised. The re-
naming horse was uninjured, though

willows, his hold being twice loosened
but regained again. He was uninjur-

shaped and was formed by the juno
ton of several smaller ones. 1t was
not accompanied by rain or snow,
where it struck the earth, but hail
the size of a hens egg fell in the
vicinity. The same funnel shaped
cloud was visible at Glendive, but
passed owe further to the westward.
A ball game was being played and the
cloud caused some confusion on the
grounds.

eminent under British supervision.
These proposals were forthwith re-
jected.
The same day Lord Miner, General
SHUTS and Judge Hertzog drew up a
form Of agreement to be submitted to

his approval, told Lord Miner he must
inform the Beers that unless it was
accepted within q fixed limit Of time

ended and his majesty's government
would not be bound in any way by the
present declarations.
The Beers asked to be allowed until
Saturday night to give an answer,
and the result was seen in the termi-
