MINERS TROUBLES
WILL Be SETTLED
By Associated Press.


GOLDFIELD, New, April 19.-The
labor troubles in Goldfield will probably
be a thing of the past within the next
few days. 1t can be stated positively
that the miners have submitted a
proposition to the mine owners and
business mems association that with a
few slight notifications will probably
be accepted.
The proposition. in effect, is that the
miners return to work providing the
mine owners will agree not to blacklist
those who heretofore have been identi-
fed with the Industrial Workers of the
World.
Tonight for the first time the execu-
tive committee of the mine owners and
business mems organizations announced
publicly and officially that they were
confident that all differences would be
adjusted within week.
A joint meeting of the representa-
tives of the mine owners and the min
ers will be held tomorrow, when it is
believed all the minor points of differ
ence will be adjusted.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 1o.-Re-
~ ports from all over the
world, practically, are
reaching this city tonight telling
of earthquakes, the activity OF
volcanoes and other disturbances
of this nature.
Scientists, for the most part,
agree that the recently discovered
sun spots are responsible, to a
certain extent, for many of these
disturbances, although in a few
instances the temblors may be
traced to local causes.
Tidal waves and typhoons are
also reported, and these and
other disturbances, which often
mean the loss of life and prop
erty, may be expected from day
to day for some time to come, say
the scientists.
Charleston, S. c., citizens were
given genuine scare today when
a distinct shock was felt. Inas-
much as that city was all but de-
stroyed by an earthquake at one
time, the older residents were
forcibly reminded of the terrible
effects of the ternblor of long ago
No damage, however, resulted
today.

MEXICO EARTHQUAKE
SIMILAR TO THE ONE
IN SAN FRANCISCO
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 19-Prof. c. P
Berkey of the department of geology
at Columbia says that the earthquake
conditions prevailing in Mexico are
exactly similar to those which pre-
vailed in San Francisco a year ago
Mexico is a comparatively new region
according to Prof. Berkey, where the
process of mountain formation is still
going on, causing earthquakes. Prof.
Berkey continues:
"I cannot connect the present dis
turbances with any present volcanic
eruption, although there are in Mexi-
co now four active volcanoes. There
is not, however, any necessary con-
nection between these volcanoes and
the quake"

Little THOUGHTS on Big Themes.

Experience is the germ of
power.
The problem of civilization is
to eliminate the parasite.
1t is qualities that make a
man great, and not knowledge.
Calm, patient, persistent pres
sure wins. Violence is transient.
The man who consumes and
wastes and does not produce is
a burden like the grasshopper.
A workingman thrives best
considering and working for the
best interests of his employer.
Mother nature in giving ont
energy gives each man abont
an equal proportion-the differ.
ence is in the way you use it.
TIE alternating current gives
power; only an obstructed
current gives either heat or
light; all things require differ
emily.
TIL. fact is that life lies in
mutual service-any other
course is merely existence.
Those who do most for others
enjoy most.
Mental work of a congenial
kind is a great stimulus to
bodily vigor-to think good
thoughts, working them out
like nuggets OF gold, and then
to. coin them into words, is a
splendid joy.-Elbet Hubbard in
May Lippincotfs.

Glove Money.

In the early days Of English law
it was custom for the clients to
send a pair of gloves to the counsel
who undertook their causes and
even to the judges who were to try
them. These gloves were usually
the cloak for a bribe, Mrs. Croaker,
for example, presenting Sir Thomas
More with a pair lined with s40,
which he returned. A bribe given
in such circumstances continued to
be called "glove money" long after
gloves had ceased to hold a place in
the transactions.-Glasgow Herald.
