not serve the papers fast enough and
the Justice clerks are working over
time filling them
According to every indication to-
night the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany is preparing for long shutdown
as several pumps in the big mines
have suspended operations. The Anal
gamated officials are reticent as to ex-
pressing an opinion as to the probable
length of the suspension, saying It
may be of six or eight months dura-
ton, and perhaps greater period.
AS yet no acts of violence have been
reported to the police, though it is
feared some difficulty will be expert
enced in holding the big army of idle
miners in check any length of time.
Tonight the principal streets are
blocked with miners, and indignant
mutterings can be heard on all sides.
Extra police have been sworn in, with
orders to prevent the gathering of
large crowds.
