STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
SearchIight is Now Running Smoothly
and Men Again at Work.

oedTCnu0nt tS NOW running smoothly
and Men Again at Work.
While yet nothing official has been
done, still it can be stated on good
authority, that the strike which was
declared on June 2, 1903, just year
ago yesterday, against the Quartette
Mining company by the local Miners
union will soon be declared Off The
steps already taken towards this end
consist of the closing of the union
boarding house and the giving of per-
mission to all members of the Western
Federation to go to work wherever
they can secure employment. Immedi-
ateiy after the close of the Western
Federation convention, now in session,
a member of the executive board will
to Searchlight for the express purpose
of winding up the affairs of the union.
The long delay action of the union
will be hailed will delight by all IN
terested in this district For elk
months the strike has been prolonged
to no purpose. At that time the union
had won all that it could ever expect
to gain; capable men were then, as
now, being paid the desired scale. eight
hours constituting a days work and in
general the laboring mans condition
has been greatly improved.
For months the strike had no effect
upon the operating company but On
the growth and development of the
district it has exerted a regarding
detrimental influence Today the re
J naming members Of the union are, for
the most part, men who nave interests
here and who ardently wish for an
end CT the strike.
Although the action already taken
practically means an end of the labor
| troubles in Searchlight still the union
does not intend to take any definate
action until authorized to by the Fed
! notwithstanding

DOdds, president of the Scorpion and

stated to Chronicle representative
last evening that he and the gentle
man with him are highly pleased with
the condition of the Comstock. In
the Ophir" he said, the showing is
especially fine, and the 1000 level looks
very promising. The face of the north
east drift on that level is again IN
fair grade ore which may improve at
any time. The history of the vein
shows that the ore comes in with
value of about SIS and improves on an
average of $65. On the Edwards
ground of the Occidental the :cdge On
the $50 level continues to improve as
it follows south"
Mr.. Zadig stated that the object of
Mr.. Dodd's visit was to look over tn,

daughter OF VIM Lee Rippon, OF Eyre
Hall. At the time OF her death, she
was at home with her father, though
since her mamma died which was

loveliest of children. She was 3 years,
4 months and 10 days old. She was
greatly loved, and tenderly cared for,
by her ever faithful physician, DR.. j.
Gates Goode, who did everything In
his power for her. Since her mothers

to the time when she would be an
accomplished and useful woman; but
these hopes now lie buried in the
Cape Charles cemetery, while her
father can only look up through his
tears and wonder why 1t Is so. She
often spoke of her mamma az an
angel, and wished she werO one too.

Took thy soul with tender care,
A flower, dropping by the way
