The soft coal strike declared to-day in West
Virginia and Virginia. where there are, all told,
thirty-one thousand mine workers. viii have
marked effect upon the anthracite strike. II is
looked upon the first of series of strikes which
will in the end result in the soft coal men being
out grievances 0 sympathy strikers At
headquarters here this morning news awaited
eagerly, but slow in coming.
President Mitchell said: II do not expect to hear
full reports from all parts of the region until
morrow and then may be able to tell how many
of the men are out. l expect full twenty thousand
will obey the order at once, and that the others
will follow 1 cannot say what effect 1t will
have on the anthracite strike"
He was asked regarding the possibility of the
next strike being in Michigan, where the miners
are dissatisfied and have already sent request
to him for national convention, but would make
no statement, would he admit that he had re-
ceived calls for national convention from any of
the soft coal districts He shook his head at this
question and said: Nothing to say" 1t is well
known that for time he has had the neces-
sary five calls but when he will call the convention
there is no indication. He is waiting, IL is under
stod to see the result of the West Virginia strike.
and If it is successful. he will then call the
convention and the question OF general strike will
be considered President Mitchell, in explaining
the rnanagement of the strike said: Il will direct
it from this city but there will be three headquar

BOYCOTT OF NoN-UNION MEN.
Non-union workers who keeping the water
from the anthracite coal mines compelled
to join the strikers 10 prevent their families from
starving. A boycott terrible than the abuse
TO which they have been previously subjected has
been begun in many OF the small towns, and is
successful after other methods of getting out the
workmen have failed. To the families Of men who
work are refused goods in many Of the
stores and they cannot get meat or -four bread
unless they join the ranks OF the strikers. This
morning the six firemen who were working in the

not like Ross Duncan to do such q

then the rest Of the letter-it was not
like the old Eric he had known, and
yet the one great love Of Stuart had
been and still was his love for Eric. Il
was not because Eric had once saved
his life. He would have loved him in
any case, but the years had brought
changes, the past year particularly.
He had been reading and brooding,
with head bent down, and now, as he
raised it, he saw Eric coming up the
hill.
The two men met with the common
place salutations: How are you, Eric?"
"How are you, Stuart?' They shook
hands stifly and then sat down on the
rock. Each seemed little shy of the
other.
Stuart was the first to speak. He

Stuart did not wait to hear more. He
jumped out Of the buggy and at the top

tered an exclamation, gave his horse
one short stroke with the whip and
dashed up the driveway like whirl-
wind. At the end of the long veranda
he stopped long enough to jump out
and let the horse go on to the barn.
He met Stuart just leaping up the
veranda steps.

''Let me by!" cried Stuart, his face
almost black with passion. HE is my

right have you to keep in the way?'

~, almost Ike a child. He stepped
aside and began to walk slowly down
the veranda steps. "You have inherit

Stuart made one stride and caught
the doctors arm. "Come backr' he
said. All his black passion was gone
In an instant. Il will be a man like

The doctor looked keenly at him and
at once turned around and entered the
house with him. The incident would
not mean anything without knowl-
edge of what was at stake on this oc-
casion. But DR.. Saxon had good rea-

"They carried him into the north
room," was the answer.
North room! Why didn't you carry
him to ithe north pole and be done
with it, Here, Stuart! Send one of
the men down for my black case at the
office and then come to your father"
The doctor went down the long hall,
turned to the right into another CORR
dor and entered a large room at the
end.
Lying over the bed in the middle OF
the room was a young woman Her
arms were clasped over the face Of the
man who lay there, and she had faint.

The doctor lifted her up Just as Stu.

he put Louise into Stuart's arms
who, with the servants help, soon re-
stored her to consciousness, while the
doctor turned to the man on the bed
and in mastery manner proceeded to
do all that his skill and keenness of
practice could do.
Ross Duncan lay like dead man.
He was Of powerful build and looked
very stern and hard even as lie lay
there helpless. There was a terrible
cash over one of his eyes. He was
covered with blood and dust, bruised
from head to foot, with clothes torn
and disfgured, but he had not lost con-
seriousness, and, with the iron will
which had always characterized him,
he managed to let the doctor know his
wishes.
"All right, all right, Mr.. Duncan u

It. I shall have to sew up this little

Louise a minute to come over to the

"He hasn't had time yet, doctor"

RICH DISCOVERY
EAST OF TONOPAH
New District Of Henapah, Sixteen Miles
East of This Place, Promises to
Become Big Producer.

Now comes authentic information
of new mineral discovery which has
been entirely overlooked by the past
generation who habited the place.
The strike is only sixteen to eighteen
miles east of Tonopah, and two miles
north of Kinney's tanks. The cen
trail point differs from other late
discoveries in the important fact
that there is wood in abundance and
wells and springs on either side
about one-half mile distant. There
are fifteen or twenty men in the
camp, and thirty or more claims
located by Tonopah and Salt Lake
prospectors.
In the brief time since the Graham
boys made the original locations, the
Henapah ledge has been opened to n
depth of nine feet. Samples of the
ore show its general character to be
sulphides and ruby silver carrying
gold values, as assays show No. !

No. 2, 430 ounces silver, 81 gold No.

The fissure is three and one-half
feet in width, all ore the strike east
and west, dipping to the north.
According to our informant, Frank
B, Work OF Salt Lake, the formation
is of the same character of porphyry
that distinguishes the Tonopah mines.
The rush has begun, and the gold
seekers have not far to 60 and n
