SOLDIERS RUN THE TRAINS
Strikers in Holland Attempt to Tie Up
Railway Lines.
PROTEST AGAINST A~NTI-sTRIKE LAW
Trouble IL Expected to Spread to
Other Branches of Labor and the
Strike May Become General
Throughout Country.

AMSTERDAM, April Sat midnight a
meeting of the workmen's committee pro-
claimed a general strike throughout Hol-
land Of labor engaged in transportation,
both by land and water.
The station and wharfes are guarded by
troops. The administration OF the rail
roads has taken steps to secure the running
OF the foreign expresses under military
protection. A workman was injured by a
revolver shot fred by a soldier today. The
man who was walking on the railroad was
not aware that the strike had been pro-
claimed and failed to reply to the soldiers
challenge.
The president Of the workmen's commit
tee Of defense In an interview said the
strike proclamation involved the entire
railroad system and other land transporta-
tion of Holland and the water transports
Of the ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam
Dordrecht and zaandam.
Protest Against Laws.
The strike, he added, was intended as a
protest against the anti-strike laws as
we'll as to support the demand OF the rail-
road men for an increase Of wages be-
fore the passage of the laws made an i'm
provement in this position impossible.
The president also said the strike would
spread to other branches Of labor.
The staffs Of the shipping companies
trading with London and Hull have stopped
work in sympathy with the strikers.
Only one train left Amsterdam this morn
ing and It was protected by troops.
All business here is at standstill on the
wharves and the mail boats which arrived
today could not be unloaded.
Dock LabOrers Join Strike.
ROTTERDAM, April 1.-THE dock laborers
wagon drivers and all others engaged in
industries connected with the port have
joined in the general strike. %
A formal declaration was issued by the
strike leaders here to the effect that the
strike was not connected with the question
of wagons, but was solely against the pro-
posed anti-strike laws. The withdrawal
Of these laws is demanded.
The railroad station is guarded by ma
rines and a suficient number OF employees
have remained at work to enable the
running Of a trains today between Rotter-
dam and Amsterdam,

Mining Investor of Colorado Springs
has been for some time questioning the
operations of the Big Five federation, and
its attacks upon N. c. Merrill the promo
ter and executive officer of the enterprise,
are especially caustic. The reason TOR
the Investors especially singing out the
Big Five is unknown to us, but there is,
we fear, somathing deeper than a lauda-
BILE desire to serve the public. The best
way, in our opinion, is to judge men by
what they are really accomplishing. We
do not know what the federation is doing
in other parts of the state, but i'll the
Idaho Springs district its holdings are
extensive and its operations energetic
and marked by as careful management
as far as we can judge, as the most criti-
cal shareholder could demand. The Big
Five federation, since coming into this
distric, has not only started tunnels that
will course through producing sections,
but it has acquired by purchase mines
with record for production. In addi-
ton, the mineral springs property was
acquired and recently the final payment
made, this with the improvements total
ing some $74, 900 in cash outlay. A 5000
ft. contract of driving in the Central tnn-
mel is under way and when finished that
bore will be nearing the divide between
this and Gilpin county. The work and
investments are of permanent charac-
ter. 1t is true that much of the various
projects is in the development stage, and
it may be some time before the revenues
exceed the expense of mine development
and the erection of bath houses aud
tourist hotels, as purposed. The fedora
ton, like other ambitious corporations
has gigantic plans. 1t is building for the
future, and its success will depend upon
the richness and magnitude of the ore
bodies opened, on the one hand, and the
patronage of the tourist public on the
other. This is the situation here. The
chances taken are no greater than by
others. 1t is such enterprises that build
up mining communities and increase the
worlds production of the precious metals.

Godfrey Carlson reports that the Conner
mine, in Russell district, is now in shape
for active work. There is an abundance
of fne-looking ore in sight and ship
ments to the Wilkie mill started with the
week. The value of the concentrates
will soon be known and will determine
the mining operations. Associated with
Mr.. Carlson are Messrs. A. Anderson and
NJ. w. Tanner. All these gentlemen
have been fortunate in their various un-
dertakings and we trust they will find
the Conner as prolific as was the Waltham
when they transformed it from an OBJ
scure prospect to one of Gilpin's best.
The Conner is comparatively a prospect
itself, the shaft being only $50 feet deep
and with comparatively little drifting
done.

A new mining company to be known
as the Quartz Hill Mining Co., to operate
in Gilpin county, was organized last week
with the following we'll known mining
men in control: President, ]. A. Wright;

ready been let for an extensive amount
of work on the Golden Dollar, and tim
beriug on the 100 feet perpendicular

sampler The boys have about 40 tons
of second class on the dump awaiting
shipment. Much depends upon how the
present shipment runs. To all appear
ances the mineral is as rich as came from
the same shoot above. We are informed
that the back of the stope does not look
as fiattering as it might. and so opera
tons there will be suspended for the time
and the adit will be extended into the
mountain in the hopes of opening more
mineral.

done 5000 feet of drifting through solid
rock, and it is meet that after all these
years he should reap bountiful harvest
for himself and aged partner. Although
10 years of age, he is apparently as husky
as when he met the lads upon the saw

Big Tunnel to Cut Specie Payment.

Dig L unnel to Cut Specie Payment
The Specie Payment mine has been for
long time making an excellent record.
As its name implies, it is an early dis
covery, and from the great quantity of
free gold obtained from grass roots the
discoverers evidently thought themselves
in position to pay the entire national
debt in golden eagles. The early history
of the Specie Payment, like that of other
big producers in this section and county,
reads like a romance, and even now,
when the present operators have to deal
with the problems of depth, economic
ore EXTRACTION aud profitable milling,
there still fingers some of the o1dtime
glamour in the form of steady dividends.
Providence, R. l., people are the own
ers of the property. A. NJ. Wells is gen.
eral manager and T. J. Johnston, who
has an extensive and varied experience
in the mines of this and other western
states, is superintendent. The mine is
operated almost entirely by leasers, 65 in
number, and which gives some idea of
the an cunt of territoy opened and the
mag itude of the output, which consists
of both smelling AMI milling material.
The n ain shaft Is 7oo feet deep, and
very { atifying feature is the quality and
extent the ore body l the bottom.
AS the owners have de sided upon OPEN
ing the mine at greater depth, aud the
hoisting r.--, ,e,ng already taxed to its
capacity, a crosscut tunnel was sometime
sin e decided upon and survey made
The portal of The bore will be near the
Bald Eagle mine, in the canon, and the
distance to the vein is estimated to be
exactly that of tunnel claim-3ooo feet
| Grading for the engine and compressor
house is already under way and in about
six weeks the power drills will begin the
task of annihilating distance and reduc.
ing ultima ely the mine operating ex-
pense. This tunnel will not only cut the
Specie Payment at a depth of 1900 feet
48o feet deeper on the vertical-but it
shortens the haul of ores to the Idaho
Springs market fully a mile, and the
steepest part of the wagon road.
AT the usual speed in prosecuting, it
will take considerably over a year to
reach the Specie Payment vein, but
valuable intervening property will be
opened at depth, undoubtedly resulting
in ore production from veins now idle or
specifically operated. Bellevue noun
tain is the heart of the gold zone that has
made Gilpin and Clear Greek counties
famous, and the Specie Payment people
by their tunnel will do work of lasting
public benefit, and that means untold
profits for the operators.
AT present the shipments of concen-
trating material from the mine are made
to Black Hawk and Idaho Springs mills,
the smelling ore going direct to Denver
in carload lots. At the Bertha mill, this
place, fully 200 tons are stacked up. A
carload of smelling ore sent to Denver the
first of the week returned $79.85 per ton,
net. Another car goes today. The
smelling streak in the mine varies in
width from four to eighteen inches.
One peculiarly, and a pleasing one, is
the presence of free gold in milk-white
quartz, occurring in the 4th level.
