sands Of Miners At Mass Meeting.
BUTTE. Mon, Oct. 24.-The Amalgamated
copper situation took surprising turn
to-day when the idle miners held special
meeting to discuss the grave question as
n affected them. A thousand of them
filled their union hall and 5000 more pae ked
the street in front OF the meeting place
The courts were denounced vigorously in
speeches and resolutions and the union
decided to make an offer to Heinze through
Mac oinniss. the plaintiff in the injunction
suits. to purchase his stock in the Boston
and Montana Company. amounting to 100
shares, and also the holdings of Mac 0nniss
and Daniel Lamm in the PARROT company
A committee was authorized to call on
MaoIinniss and offer him $500 share for
his Boston and Montana stock and 500
share for his Parrott stock. Armed with
guarantee signed by Senator W. A. Clark,
President A. j. Davis OF the First National
Bank and President John D. Ryan Of the
DAILY Bank and Trust Company as security
for the money offered for the stock the
committee at once went to the offices Of
the Montana Ore Purchasing Company
TO see MacGinniss, but after being kept
waiting for a long time. they were informed
that MacGinniss was not in. Then they
called at his hotel and club, but could not
find him.
The market value Of Boston and Mon
fana is about 1925 and Parrot sls. but the
union proposes to pay the highest price
the stock ever reached and take it of
MacGinnisss hands and then dismiss the
injunction suit against the company and
the Amalgamated. it being understood
that the latter would then agree 10 resume
operations at the mines.
When the purpose OF the union was an
nounced to the crowds on the streets there
vas tremendous shouting. The union also
adopted the following, plainly having
reference to Judges Clancy and Harvey
Of the District Court. Clancy having de-
clined to postpone a proposed hunting
trip in order to facilitate proceedings for
an appeal to the Supreme Court:
