Hughes Is Not Unwilling.

Albany.-Governor Hughes Tuesday
made public his correspondence with
Senator Martin SAKE regarding posi-
BILE action by the New York county Re-
publican committee in endorsing the
governor for the presidential nominal
ton. 1t follows:
Dear Governor Hughes-It is my
purpose, at the next meeting of the Re-
publican county committee, to offer Il
resolution to the effect that it is the
belief of the committee that the Re-
publican voters generally throughout
the county of New York desire your
name presented for President at the
national convention. In doing so am
only attempting to give formal eX-
preston to the sentiment that exists
here, so that the Republican party
throughout the state may have official
notice of it. However, as do not wish
to pursue any course which may be
distasteful to you personally, or en-
barrassing to the plans of those who
are in your confidence. l will appre.

1T is of the highest importance that
the work of the administration shall be

tives will take such action, whatever
it may be. as they believe to be best
They have their duty and have nina

Boise, Idaho.-The prosecution in
the Pettibone case Tuesday traced the
Peabody bomb from the time Harry
Orchard said he and Jack Simpkins
threw it in a creek at Wallace, to It's
appearance in the court room here at
the Haywood trial.
Corroborative evidence was INTRO
duced of the testimony of Orchard in
regard to the Vindicator mine eXplo-
sion and the state proved that the reg
istered letter and Geographic money
order received by Orchard. while at
San Francisco, were sent by PettiDonc,
facts admitted by the defense.
Judge Wood made it plain that he
would not permit the introduction of
evidence in regard to the labor trou-
bles in Colorado which was admitted
al the trial of Haywood, and then
stricken from the record because, it
was held by the court. the defense mad
Jailed to establish its counter conspir-
acy charge.
William ID. Haywood, secretary
treasurer of the Western Federation of
Miners, arrived in Boise Tuesday, and
sat with the spectators at the After
neon session of court. He VIII take
the stand as witness for the defense.

Where was his usual collectedness Of

Many Mines to Close.

Denver.-The Republican says that
mining conditions. in so far as they
relate to the low grade propositions
from which are taken the baser metals
are in a most unsatisfactory condition.
At the present prices of silver. cop
per. lead and zinc. the mines that have
been operated on slight margin OF
profit are losing money and the man
agements have been compelled to
close in number of camps. This has
been done at Creole and Aspen and
is now being done at l.eadville and
other camps.
Orders will be issued Immediately
at Leadville to pull the pumps from
the mines in the downtown section.

COLDFIELD
WIRES CUT
NEVADA MINING CITY LEFT IN
DARKNESS AND MILLS
IDLE.
FUNSTON WILL STAY
GOVERNOR SPARKS CAUTIONED
AGAINST LEAVING HIS
HOTEL.

Goldheld, New, Dec. 17.-Gollfe,d
is greatly alarmed tonight over the
fact that the feed wires of the Nevada
California Power Company are down
and that the company has been unable
to find the break or determine the
cause of it.
The break occurred at o'clock this
afternoon.
General Funston has cancelled his
order for berths for himself and staff
on the train and he will remain in
Goldfeld indefinitely.
General Funston and Governor
Sparks were in consultation early In
the evening and shortly after Colonel
Reynolds left for the camp of the fed
eral troops and all soldiers on tho
streets were gathered up and taken
irto camp.
AS hear as can be learned, the
break in the wires is near Palmetto. IA
mining camp about twenty-one miles
southwest of Goldfeld
The power which is brought to Cold
field is developed near Bishop. in Inyo
county, California, about fifty miles
away. For the past five weeks the
power company has had large force
of men patrolling the line, which
puSSeS over tHe HISHeol poltioA III lAo
Sierra Blanca range.
A telephone line extends the entire
length of the power line and this also
ia down, so that communication with
the men patrolling the power line is
impossible.
An effort was made to induce Cen
eral Funston to patrol the city and the
vicinity of the mines with troops TO-
night, but he has not issued an order.
When wages were reduced by the
company all of the men but one went
out on strike, but they returned to
work several days ago after confer
ence between the Mine Owners Asso-
citation and representatives Of tho
American Federation of Labor.
These negotiations angered the
Western Federation men, and 1t mas
been freely predicted that any serious
outbreak in Goldfeld would be pref
aced by the cutting off of the lights.
Governor Sparks has been cautioned
against leaving his hotel until tho
lights are restored.
| A similar incident under norma. cir
cumstances causes no alarm, but IN
the present strained situation grave
fear exists. Every one is on the alert.
especially those who have taken active
part in the strike on either side.
Three mines were operated today
with the men brought in from other
points and these who have signed tho
agreement of the Goldtield Mine own
ers Association. The mill of the Con
solidated company and the Nevada
! Goldficld reduction works also were IN
operation all day.
Tonight there is no work being done
| in any of the mines or mills, owing to
the lack of power caused by the break
in the wires.
! The total number of men at work TO-
day was about 100, and 1t is announced
tonight by the operators that fifty
more will arrive tomorrow.
! Operators tonight say that IL the
break in the power line can be repaired
before time for the morning shift TO go
on over 200 men will be working in the
mines tomorrow.
