named The Uncle Billy Mining and
Milling company in honor of Uncle
Billy Dunn, who has worked mines
on these lands for a number OF
years, producing many thousand
pounds of lead ore. Considerable
jack was also discovered by Mr..
Dunn, but water was encountered
and he had to quit the mine, though
he held his lease on the land. It
is understood that the amount
named in the deal for the mine lease
of the Dunns is in the neighbOrhOOd

Highland miners have struck for
higher wages and have all left the
mines. They held a couple of meet
ings and asked the mine owners to
pay them two dollars per day, and
TRAINERS to receive raise in pro-
portion; and in case any member
does not get employment they will
not go to work even at that price.
Last week the mines were idle. AS
a rule miners are we'll paid, and the
loss in shutting down is really more
against the miners than the mine
owners, for the ore won't run away
and expenses cease when the mines
are not i'll operation. On the other

Miners throughout the country
look with much disfavor on the
cold weather. The men who are
compelled to stand at the top of the
shaft and tend the windlass are ex-
posed to the severe weather all the
time and suffer a great deal. In
the large mines where there are
shaft houses and plants the con-
0ition is not so unpleasant, for the
miners have quarters where they
can go to warm themselves. Those
who work below ground, where it
IS wet and damp, feel the bitter
cold air terribly when they come
to the top, and unless great care is
J taken severe colds are contracted.
