BUSINESS MEN TIGHTEN THEIR HOLD ON SITUATION
IN

Goldneld enters upon the fifth week
of its Industrial trouble. without any
material change in the situation. There
is no more probability of an early re-
sumption Of work than there was two
weeks ago; probably there Is less en-
couragement in the present situation
than at any time since the unfortunate
breach between employer and emplye
arose. sar
The miner owners are prepared for q
long struggle, II such is necessary to
bring about the results in view. They
have not wavered one jot or title from
their original position, and are just as
determined now as at the beginning that
this matter shall not be settled until
1t is settled right and for all time. 1t
is altogether likely that no effective
move will be made on either side until
after the national convention of the
Western Federation of Miners and the
Industrial Workers Of the World meet
in Denver about the 5th day Of next
month. The local organizations claim
tnat tney cannot separate without dCtlOu
of the national bodies.
The greatest difficulty in the settle
ment Of the local labor trouble has
been the duplicity of the leaders, who
have not been fair and outspoken with
their followers, in keeping them ad-
vised as to the exact relation the Miners
and the Industrial Workers sustain
under their organization. When it has
suited the purpose of the leaders, the
two bodies could separate and operate
under independent charters.
When it did not suit their purpose,
they could not. For instance, the joint
mass meeting, last Saturday, and voted
to separate and hold independent meet
ings. The vote carried by about ESQ.
This was hailed as the beginning of the
end. Later. during the first of the
week, 1t was found by the mine owners
that the action of the Saturday before
was not all 1t purported to be. state
ment was issued by the mine owners,
their former statement, and
wherein it was made plain that the min
ers should not only disconnect them
selves from the l. w. w. but must agree
that they would not participate in any
boycotts that the latter organization
might inaugurate. This baked the
miners who had intended to secede
in name only; so when the meeting came
for ratification Tuesday night, the chair
man of the meeting ruled that the act
of Saturday was illegal and non-effect.

That the copper district in the vicin-
ity of Luning, Nina and Acme Tanks
is destined to become one of the richest
fields in the state Of Nevada is prac-
tically conceded by all who have had an
opportunity to examine the properties
of this district.
Prospectors and men with capital are
pouring in daily and the big snaps In
the way of fine properties are rapidly
changing hands.
One of the first of Goldfeld operators
to recognize the merit of the district
was C. N. Miller of the firm of Miller
& Miller. His first purchase was the
group now controlled by the Luning
Copper Mines company This group
contains some sixty odd acres upon
which there is ledge of copper ore ex-
posed which will exceed per cent in
value across an entire width of nine
feet. Immediately adjacent is the Won
der group owned by Chas. s. Sprague.

company upon which there is a phe-

PAST WEEKS MINING MARKET

The prices of stocks on the Goldfeld
exchanges have continued 70 fluctuate
during the last week, due 10 the conflict
ing reports of the settlement OF the
labor troubles, but the strong UNDER
tone that has characterized the market
ever since the trouble began was mani
fest throughout, and was never more
in evidence than at last nights sessions.
Prices held up surprisingly in view of
the adverse market news of the last few
days and there was generally an optim-
istic feeling. The comparative strength
of the market for the better class of
stocks is a positive indication that as
soon as normal conditions again pre-
vail, prices will advance materially and
permanently.
That there has been a falling off
in prices since the mass meeting of the
miners last Saturday is undisputed, but
that was to be expected. When the news
that the miners had decided to break
away from the I. W. w. was received,
prices shot upward but when at their
meeting Tuesday night the miners de-
clined to ratify the vote taken at the
mass meeting. hammering of prices at
once began. Jumbo Extension. which
sold Saturday night at s2.i5 yesterday

ants have fallen into line and the rest
will either join the movement or quit
business.
The last remaining craft the saloon
keepers. too. are seeing the light. 1t is
understood that 20 saloon keepers
have agreed to sign the roll of the
Business Mems association. With the
restaurants and saloon keepers shut
against the ]. w. W.. there will not be
a business house of any kind in Goldfield
where members of that organization can
find work.
There is no place in Goldfield longer
for an organization that is traitorous to
the flag Of this country. Its an unheal-
thy place for the propagation of trea-
son.
1IN0 LEADE1s PLAY TIE NA1xET
1t has come to be commonly known
in Goldfeld that the prolongation of the
labor trouble is due to the fact that
the ringleaders of the miners union are
playing the stock market, and find the
game too good to give up for while.
1t has been discovered by the forces of
the Business Mems and Mine Owners
association that there is little clique

paign, who are holding secret confer
ence with certain stockholders of Gold
field, from day to day, and are playing
the market for a considerable sum. II
is believed that the money in use belongs
to the treasury of the organization. and
that part of the profits go to swell the
soup fund which has become decidedly
depleted, while the best of the profits
go into the pockets of the clique. This
accounts for the peculiar and other
wise inexplicable action of the union.
in voting one way one day, and another
way few days thereafter. pushing the
market up or down as 1t suits their
purposes. The knowledge of this fact
having been gained by some of the more
influential among the conservative min
ers. trouble was threatened and an open
rupture seemed inevitable. There was
talk among these men of either forcing
the union to stop their senseless inac-
ton and fix up the differences between
the miners and mine owners. or else or
ganize an Independent action, sign an
agreement with the mine owner as
against the i. w. W.. and go to work.
What progress has been made along
this line is not known, but something
will be popping before long. and this is
certain.

tion having surrendered its charter, and
that they were all members OF the
miners union. This threw the miners
into confusion. They didn't know then
and they don't know now whether they
belong to the l. w. w. or ths miners
union or what-only ~ their leaders
chose to tell them from week to week.
WHAT ,mE1 OWNS D1HAxD
The mine owners issued . statement
on Tuesday celebrating and calculating
their position. They stated that they
would be willing to resume operations
upon the following basis:
/. That steps be taken Immediately
to create and maintain a tribunal of ar
bitration for the settlement of such dis
putes or controversies as may hereafter
arise between employer and employe.
2 Miners not to strike unless and un-
til after a vote of the miners at work in
the district as prescribed in Sec. I,
Article 5, of the Constitution of the w.
F. of M. Operators to declare no shut
down except upon similar vote in favor
thereof.
8. Execute an agreement for definite
time as to above conditions based upon
the present scale Of wages and hours Of
labor.
4. No sympathetic strikes. boycotts
or any support of the I. w. w. locally.
5. No sympathetic strikes, or boy
colts against other local unions.
In taking the above position, the mine
owners proclaim that they were deter
mined to stand with the business men.
That the Business Mems and Mine
Owners association was one organiza-
tion with mutual obligations and respon-
sibilities. 1t became known that 1t was
the program of the leaders of the min
ers. to carry a vote that would appear
to dissolve the union between the two
bodies, and thus meet the terms of the
mine owners, who would then reopen
the mines. The mines reopened, then
would begin a systematic campaign of
boycott against all firms and individ-
uals who had been influential in the
fight. The /. w. WIS were to start
the boycotts and the miners would fall
into line. The understanding was as COM
plete between them and the action as
as If they had not made a
separation. 1t was to be the same or
ganization in fact although not in
name. This coming to the ears of the
executive committee of the Business

TONOPAH HAS
MILL WORTHY
THE DISTRICT
(From our own Correspondent

(From our own Correspondent
Tonopah, April 1.-THE big mill Of
the Tonopah Mining company is now
running to its fullest capacity. For
the past week there have been hun
drAd stamps dropping, and in the Mid
way mill the hum of twenty stamps has
been heard all through the week. This
is an increase of twenty stamps in
week, and means big increase in pro-
duction In less than two months more
there will be an additional one hundred
stamps grinding ore. and the result OF
that work can be imagined, If it cannot
be accurately figured at this time
1t is estimated that the big mill at
Miller's siding is crushing in the
neighborhood of 5000 tons week, and
that of the Midway about 600 tons, and
the recoveries in both plants are excel
lent The Tonopah mine, in addition to
the ore sent to Miller's is shipping to
the Salt Lake smelters about $50 tons
a week.
The Tonopah Mining company has
been paying for sometime past a quar-
terly dividend of thirty-five cents
share This was paid before the mill
was in operation; and from good au-
thority the information is gained that
the company is straining every effort
to increase the dividend to fifty cents
a share; and in October to one dollar a
share.
The stock of the company advanced
in few days from SIC share to $19
and $40, and the price sagged back only
a little in consequence of the trouble
in Goldfeld, which caused slump in
that market.

Goldfield is not only maintaining its
position as the leading city in the south
ern part of the ctate but it is forging
ahead at such a rate that 1t will not
be long before it attains the position
of a city of the first class In no other
city in the state is there so much
building going on and the class Of
structures now being erected here is
way above the average. The shut down
of the mines has not interfered with the
work of converting the businesses center
of the greatest gold camp in the country
into a city of metropolitan proportions
and genuine modern improvements of the
most advanced type Business structures
are being erected on every block, in the
heart of the city while the resident
districts resound with the noise of saw
and hammer. Many of the residences
that are now in course of construction
would be a credit to San Francisco, both
in appearance and interior finish and
convenience of arrangement.
In the business district unusual activ-
ity prevails. Business houses, hotels
and theaters of most substantial struc-
ture and beauty of design, and supplied
with the most modern conveniences are
being rushed to completion. Since the
destruction of the Hotel Goldfield last
November, Goldfield has been somewhat
handicapped in the matter Of hotel ac-
but that condition Will
not exist after the first of the coming
month. Within three months Goldfield
will be able to boast of the finest hotel
accommodations to be found In the state
eoualling in many respects those OF the
large cities of the coast.
NEW HOTELS
The first of the modern hostelries,
now in course of construction, to be
thrown open to the public will be the
Casey hotel, being erected at the corner
of Main and Miner by J. Casey McDan-
iel, which will be ready in about ten
aays. The building is three story
frame with cement facing. 1t is
7sx1oo feet and contains ~ rooms, ar
ranged en- suit with baths and toilets
in each. 1t is provided with a modern
