YEARS OF
OPPRESSION
And Intimidation Has Given Unor-
ganized Sections a Bad Odor.
Operators in New River Fields Un-
able to Find Men Willing to
Work Under Prevailing Con-
ditions.

Notwithstanding the published
reports in the sub.idised press of
the alluring wages and conditions
in the New River coal fields the
operators in that section are unable
TO secure men to man their mines.
That the published reports referred
to are misleading and false is veri-
lied by the following communicat-
ion to the United Mine Workers
Journal from w. +. Harrison, of
Oak Hill, who is in position to
know the facts:
''I will try and give you few
items from the New River field.
The mines here are running full
time where it is possible to do so
with the labor at hand, but at
many operations they are badly
handicapped for want of men. Well
so be it. ''As you SOW, so also
you shall reap These operators
have sown the wind and are reap
ing the whirlwind. Years of
oppression has given the New
River and Pocahontas field Il re-
putation and practical miners now
give these place a wide berth. One
of the latest moves of these COM
panies was in regard to coal sold
to consumers living outside the
coal company's property. Accord
ing to Il local agreement, engineer
ed by Mr.. Sam Dixon, The price of
coal to outside parties is now 81 IS
per load at the tippleS. When to
this is added the price of hauling,
ranging from 81 TO - per load, it
can be easily seen that burning
coal by the general public is an
expensive luxury. But it takes
such little "Christian'' acts as
these to open the eyes and prick
the conscience of the public.
'The closing, or partial closing
of the mines here by the district
inspectors still goes merrily on
Some of the company officials get
''real mad' when forced to close
their mines. They have run their
mines here for SO many years with
no regard whatever to ventilation,
! drainage or timbering, that it gives
/ them severe jolt to have some
one interfere with their divine
right to run their mines as they
choose.

The White Oak Fuel Company has
also been notified to put in safeties

s.At Rush Run the men demand

No Strike During Panic.

James O'Connell, president of
the international Association of
MachiniSts has sent circular to
the various assemblies advising
them TO avoid all friction with en-
ployers, i'll view of the present dis
turbed financial situation.
This is to continue until the
financial situation quiets down.
"We have more at stake in "A
financial panic than Morgan or
Rockefeller" said O'Connell.
"Our men might not only lose their
jobs, but would have a hard time
keeping on living. We have been
described at agitators, but this

Has Big Artisan Flow OF Water

Ii is a common saying thata there
is enough water underground all
over Nevada to fully irrigate the land
above it.
Sam z. Davis has recently expert
mented al the Larkswood ranch with
artesian well boring and has lately
finished three wells which are flowing
above ground and the combined flow
OF the wells is over 100 gallons d
minute.
The wells run from 100 TO 1SU feet
deep and the water increases in tenn
perature perceptibly with every
twenty five feet in depth. Aside
from the three wells which flow so
literally is a small well about seventy
feet in depth which gives a flow Of
water nearly as cold as ice, but it
does not flow over two gallons a
minute.

twenty feet deep with three bored

haust the well The flowing artesian
wells are not on as high ground as
the dug We'll. Mr.. Davis believes
that all the land about Carson can
be sufficiently irrigated with such
wells supplemented by cheap electric
pumping plants and that ultimately
this system viii be in vogue here
Thousands Of acres Of splendid land
now lying idle can be cultivated with
the underground streams 10 furnish
the water.
The fact that the water increases
in temperature with depth indicates
that the great belt of hot water I'M
derlying western Nevada can be tap
ped with wells of sufficient depth.

We're bored by Mr. Dake. His plant

Complaint

RENO, Septeber 25.-Attbrneys
Downer and Arnold, who have been
employed by the Nevada Commercial
League to argue the case of the
League against the observation-disclosures
Oregon Railroad before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, have
found that the complaint now before
the Commission is defective and i'll
con1iiction with certain rulings of the
United States Supreme Court and
have already taken steps toward
Withdrawing the complaint AS soon
as the complaint is disposed of a
new one will be filed, charging the
n c. o. Railroad Company with
freight rate discrimination against
the merchants of Reno.
The first complaint was drawn up
by Secretary Bride, of the Nevada
Comercial League, and an attorney
he employed, and they failed to no.
tice the rulings of the Supreme
Court in regard to certain clauses
of the complaint. The action against
the n. C. O. will now be delayed for

Must Pay
Twice a Week

GOLDtIELD, Sept. -5.-There are
whisperings abroad OF impending
trouble as a result OF the recent ac-
ton of the Miners Union ordering
that hereafter no Union miner shall
lie allowed TO work at any mine or
lease which does not pay its men
twice each month. The almost uni
versal custom here is to pay once
month, and it is rumored that the
big companies will object to a change
in this rule. Practically every min
ing property in operation in Goldfield
district is affected by the order, and
it is probable that some difficulty will
be encountered in adjusting the mat
ter satisfactorily to both parties.

MRS. MARY J. WALSH NEAR
LY LOSES HER LIFE
LAST EVENING
is NOW IN SERIOUS CONDITION
Had Small Child of Mr. land Mrs. Ed
J. Walsh in Her Arms at
The Time.

Mrs. Mary J. Walsh, mother OF Ed
Walsh the well known grocer OF tnis
city. and one of the pioneer residents
Of this valley had a narrow escape
from death at the PedroH ranch on
the Kings canyon road last even
ing
Mrs Walsh had gone from her
home to the Pedroli ranch to drive
home Il COW belonging to her. AS
she was crossing the field, bull
which was in the pasture started
after her and she never noticed the
animal until it was within a few feet
of where she stood. Even then she
failed to notice that the animal was
in bad temper and taking her grand
son in her arms started on her er-
rand She had only taken few
steps when the enraged animal
started at her at full speed. Before
she could even step aside the horns
OF the enraged animal had passed to
either side of her body and with an
upward toss of his head threw the
woman and child over his head.
They landed in small ditch some
distance away the small child still
clasped in the womans arms.
Employees of the ranch had wit
messed the scene and rushed to Mrs.
Walshs aid. The bull started to again
attack the defenseless woman and
child and would have probably gored
them to death but for the arrival OF
the men who beat the animal off.
The woman and child were quickly
taken to the home of DR.. Won Rad
esky where medical attendance was
obtained. An examination showed
that the lady was badly bruised
abouu the chest and stomach and
while her injuries are very paln1ui
Ihev are not of serious nature.
Her escape from instant death can
only be accounted for by the fact
the horns of the bull We're very vide
spread and instead OF passing
through her body went on each sloe
of her. When the animal raised Its
head the horns caught Mrs. Walsh
under the arms and she was t5ro"I
into the ditch.

iured lady this afternoon states tina

HAS PURCHASED CONTROL.
ING INTREST OF YELLOW
JACKET MINE
Under His Personal Supervision
May Take Over More
Property

Clarence Mackay, son OF the late
John W. Mackay, controls the Yellow
jacket mine up on the Comstock lode
ana is the actual owner OF about 3d.
U00 shares OF the 12o,000 shares OF
capital stock III that property, says
the san Francisco recorder.
The Recorder makes public for the
first time this fact upon the very
hnsnest authority. This is starting g
in the mines Of the Comstoch, for it
shows change in the affairs OF that
lode that has great bearing upon
the future.
Those who are now managing the
yellow Jacket mine are doing so un-
der the personal direction of Clar-
ence Mackay. 1t was his money that
bought up enough of the capital stock
to take away the control OF the prop
erty from the Morrow interests more
than a year ago, and he has paid the
bulk OF the aSSemSsmentS since
levied for the purpose of providing
funds to reopen the upper levels OF
the mine and block out vast Quanti
ties of ore and to build the great
modern reduction plant that will be
| in operation within the next sixty
days.
After many months of secret ma
| nipulatiOn in the stock market and
| preparation in and around the mine
| the facts as to who is the power be
| hind the throne and who actually
| controls the Yellow Jacket property
| have commenced to leak out. The
| Recorder has been selected to break
the news to the public, and as before
stated, this paper does so on the
highest authority.
! Mr Mackey believes there are
mines upon the Comstock that Cal
be made to pay legitimate profits
| and that the Yellow Jacket is one o
| them.
The question now arises, will MI
Mackay stop with the control OF on
| mine. Will he not seek the contro
OF others. Should the great reduction
plant at the Yellow Jacket success
fully treat the ores from that proI
erty there may be some more star
ling changes along the line.
