turbed by the jar. The robbers soon
left, but their prisoners were not able
to release themselves until about A
O'Clock, when the first alarm was
given. 8. W. Brooks, resident agent,
arrived on the scene and found that
everything of any value had been sto-
len from the safe, and that the floor
was Uttered with scraps of paper The
robbers evidently thought they were
tearing up checks, but in reality they
tore up a large amount of money rep
resented in scrip issued by the John
8. Cook bank. The scrip was made
payable "to bearer and is the money
current in Goldfeld. but the robbers
evidently mistook its character and
value. Agent Brooks says the amount
of money stolen belonging to the rail
road was not large, but he lost all his
own money, stocks and other personal
effects of value, amounting to a con-
siderable sum. 1t is believed, however,
the robbers made a big haul from the
railroad, as large amounts of money
have been taken in the past few days
through the freight office, and as all
the Goldfeld banks are either closed
or only paying out a limited amount of
money, the agent was carrying quite
a sum in the company's safe, sup
posedly well guarded. Several suspi-
cious characters have been taken into
custody on suspicion of having been
with the robbery.

BELIEF THAT GOLDTIELD
WILL BE AN OPEN CAMP

GOLDFIELD Nov. 29.-Every hour
finds the sentiment growing here that
before the present trouble is settled
here Goldfeld will be an open camp.
There have been several conferences of
the operators within the last forty
eight hours, and although no statement
all are agreed to stand firm. They
realize that the battle will probably
have to be fought out now for a de-
finite settlement, and all questions re-
garding the working of the mines of
this camp, and they are perfectly will
ing to meet the issue squarely.
There is some fear of violence. but
all the mines are being closely guard
ed, and it is also known that some Of
the men who are considered danger.
Gus agitators are constantly under
surveillance.
That the camp is full of desperate
men was shown by the robbery of the
railroad station by a gang of ten
armed men. The banks. including
those that are closed, are under guard
and buildings which shelter some of
the most prominent operators are also
vigilantly watched.
The following dispatch was re
ceived by George Wingfeld yesterday
from Assistant United States Treas
urer Ralston of San Francisco, who is
also a member of the mining exchange
of the bay city:

that the members of the Goldfeld min.

It remains to be seen whether the ac-
ton of the Goldfeld miners in refusing
to accept clearing house certificates
was the part Of wisdom or not. 1t is
feared that il was not. 1t compelled
many mines to close down, because the
mine owners were unable to get the coin
to pay wages with. The mine owners
could not help themselves. The miners
