THE RESCUE WORK. M0NONCAH
Again Started, Fire Section Being Walled
Unofficial Says Only 200 Dead But
Miners Say at Least 400.
AT GOLDFIELD.

Goldtield. New. Dec 9-Thc mines
of Goldtield are to be re- opened Thurs
day. The wage scale is to be reduced.
No members of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners will be given employ
ment. Meanwhile men will be brought
here to the number of 800. to take
the place of the strikers. Such WAS the
decision of the executive committee of
the Mine Owners Association, reached
today. The change from Wednesday
to Thursday was made to allow time
to get men from other points to replace
the strikers.
Governor Sparks will come to Cold
field Thursday. The trops now here
will be scattered throughout the camp
and will practically guard the mncs.
The card system used at Cripple Creek
will be introduced. Frank a. Keith,
general manager of the Tonopah Min
ing Co. and other important mining
men are here in consultation with the
Godfield owners.
y brawl took place i'll Main street
today. A member of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners called Il soldier vile
name John Davis. who WAS walking
with the officer, grabbed the offender
and held him until another officer ar
rived. An attempt to draw weapons
was prevented by bystanders.
Officers Of the Mine Owners Asso-
citation assert that they are depending
largely on deserters from the Fedora
ton. They will permit men belonging
to the American Federation of Labor
or affiliated unions to work and will
not bar men belonging t" any labor
organization except the Western Fed
Grafton and the Industrial Workers of
the World. The streets of Gpldiicld
are crowded with men and the air 1s
filled with many wild rumOrS.
c. II. MackinnOn, president of Gold
field Miners Union. said today that
he did not believe there would be any
violence.
The total number of men that have
been quietly brought in and those who
have secretly made application to re-
turn to their former positions is placed
at 1000. There are about 130G Western
Federation men out. The men who arc
to take the places of the strikers arc
not to be housed at the mines, but will
be scattered through the camp and
protection tor each individual will be
guaranteed by the Mine owners AS
ISOLATION.
Two propositions have been positive
ly decided upon. the making of an oper
camp for all time and the early lower
ing of the wage scale. At the same time
the Mine Owners Association is going
to begin vigorous crusade to lower
the cost of living in Goldficld. The
scope of the Mine Owners Association
is to be greatly enlarged by the organ
ization of the Nevada Mine Owners
Association of which the Goldficld Mine
Owners Association will be Il part.
The new organization is already well
under way. The announcement of the
determination to open the mines Thurs
day is to be made tomorrow at noon by
the Goldfield Mine Owners Association
and it is expected that some trouble
may ensue.
