ETIQUETTE OF DESERT MINERS,

Never Ask IA Man where His Claims
Are, Says Death Valley Miner.
Never ask man anything about
his mine because he won't tell you II
you do. 1t isn't etiquette to ask such
questions on the desert"
Thus spoke ]. Heineman, late Of
Beatty, an old-timer In Death Valley
and the desert, now staying at the Ho-
tel Mum, says the Los Angeles Times.
He still has properties in that region,
prospects he calls them, but he has sold
his business at Beatty and Is stopping
a while here In the haunts OF civlllza-
ton.
"You see, when one miner meets an
other on the desert they stop, talk and
pass pleasantries. One will ask the
other how he's getting along and he
will say good or hard luck but that's
about all. Neither asks for details or
where one has his claims located. II
any one wants you to know he'll tell
you without being asked. II not he
won't tell you If You do ask.
'The fact Is that II man has q
great body of low grade ore that he
must have forcs Of men TO work and

But II he has Il rich spot with free

IN this way. The water problem Is In

Tells Why the Operators Are Strik-
ing, TeIegraphing NeilI.
San Francisco, Aug. u. - President
Small, of the telegraphers' union, has
given out telegraphic correspondence
between himself and Labor Commits
sloner Neill, in which the grievances
of the strikers is stated. Small re.
ceived a dispatch from Neill in reply
to one Small had sent Neill, in which
the latter, after saying he assumes that
the strikes are without Smalls authori-
ty and therefor illegal, goes on:
IF locals have no respect for the
constitution of the organization, and
the national officers cannot control
them, what guarantee can you give me
that any adjustment satisfactory to
you will be accepted by men on striker
VIII you advise me definitely
and specifically what is the demand for
which the strike has occurred and up
on what terms you would take the re-
sponsibility of ordering locals back?'
To this Small replied as follows:
cause Of present trouble is repudia-
ton Of San Francisco agreement which
settled strike. Local Manager OBrien,
Chief Operator Jeffs and Superintend-
emf May have repeatedly Disseminated
against strikers. Women telegraphers
after returning to work Inundated to
such extent resigned. Western Union
reinstated less than 100 strikers; many
still out Of employment including mar
ried men. Notwithstanding agreement
| provides reinstatement strikers with
| out prejudice outsiders given prefer
ence and employed.
Present strike illegal, but provoca-
ton great and resentment against
Western Union officials because Of bad
faith SO universal that general strike
be authorized Tuesday unless we can
find way to bring about Cancellation.
Answering your last question, can
guarantee immediate resumption OF
work If government will insist upon
investigation or arbitration Of PROPOSE
tons embodied in memorial addressed
to board of directors of Western I'm
ion last June. Local management
petty discrimination and favoritism to-
ward woman Nichols on Los Angeles
circuit caused transfers and dismissals
Of men long in company's service, and
finally strike"
The Western Union officials deny
that they either repudlated or failed
to carry out the San Francisco agree
ment.

BOTH SIDES ARE DETERMINED
Men Are Full of Strike and Companies
Preparing to Resist.

Chicago, Aug. u. = The telegraph
strike situation is unquestionably bad.
Both parties to the controversy are full
OF fight. The men are spelling for a

determined to resist to the bitter end.
Here the companies are preparing for
a siege-indeed the buildings occupied
are in a state Of siege and no one is
allowed to go to the operating rooms
without stating his business, strikers
not being allowed there at all.
Bedding, cooking utensils and pro-
visions are being put in the quarters
OF both companies, so that men en-
ployed to take the strikers places may
be kept off the streets and out of the
way of interference, and a search for
new men is going on everywhere and
the non-union force is being icreased.
Conditions here show improvement IN
the offices Of both companies, the in
creased forces being obtained by hiring
new men, in part, but in a greater
measure by calling IN men from small
er towns and cities. The two compa
MES are working together against the
strike and are perfectly agreed as tc
their course.
The two telegraph companies an
nounced that they would re-engage op
orators singly and not as union OF
non-union men; that the Western IN
ion company would receive no commit.

pitching for the Whiting Greys. the
local team won by a score of 4-3 in
one of the most exciting games at
Hubbard's Park this season.
The local team started out by grab
bing off two runs in the first inning
due mainly to poor fielding on the part
of the Whiting team but for the next
four innings all the locals could get
was goose eggs. For the first three
innings. Whiting failed to land
run but in their half of the fourth, they
tied the score. batting in two runs.
In the fifth nothing was stirring for
J either team but in the sixth Kiose
scored another run for Hammond.
In the seventh neither side was able
to score although it looked mighty
| blue for Hammond when Whiting had
only one man out with bases full but
| it was here that Clark, the invincible
| Jimmy, showed the crowd of fans what
was in him by striking out the next
| two batters who were considered the
| best batters on the Whiting team.
The game started off in the eighth with
! the score OF 80 in favor Of the locals
but in the visitors half by timely hits
they again scored and it was then that
the excitement began, in the locals half
they succeeded in showing over another
run. In the ninth the Whiting team
gathered about their captain and it
looked like there would be something
doing Clarke( however, struck out
the first two men but was touched for
a single by Schrage. With two stIik-
es on the next batter Schrage tried to
steal second but was caught on a good
throw by Elder. ending the game.
Fans who saw the game, went away
for once this season, saying it was
the best game played on the local dia-
mond. From start to finish 1t was a
pitchers battle and although Moste
struck out more men than Clarke. the
Chicago boy, had it on him for all
round work.
The Hammond team go to LaPorte

a reputation this year as sluggers.
