THE STREET CAR STRIKE.

The strike of the local street car
men has been on one week and the
men are still gaining ground. That
they will win out is only the JucS.
ton Of time if they continue to
pursue the same pcaccablc and
conservative methods that they
have during the past week.
The only disorder that has oc-
CURED took place Oh last Friday
night on the West Side where Il
crowd had congrcgatcd and were
throwing corn, rice and calling the
persons who were operating the
cars ''Scabs'. But it was in no
way aided or abcttcd by the strik-
erS, as the two strikers who were
arrested were dismissed as no
charge could be sustained against
them, and it was clearly shown
that the strikers had no part what
ever i'll the melee.
There ism danger of Il repetition
of that diSor,lerly scene if the
officers, company ''guardSn and
strike breakers act with the same
discretion that is being maintained
by the strikers and union men Of
the city, who stand ready at any
time to protect the property of the
kanawha Valley Traction Com
pany.
All that the street car and other
union men of Charleston ask of
their Sympathizcr> and friends is
to refrain from acts of violence and
give them their undivided support
in maintaining their hack line
and assist them in showing
the public that they arc not max
ing any unreasonable demands and
are only asking for Justice and ii
square deal. If this policy is car
ricd out it will only be Il short
while until the street car men will
be rcorgauiZcd us union men and
American citizens by the Supcrin
tendcnt of the street car line.
Charleston is Il union town and
stands for Il square deal and the
Street Car Union have Il committee
i'll readiness at all times to meet
with their employers to- adjust the
differences at issue.

Members of union have power,

joint agreements with their en-
ployers and avoid strikes. locke

this is not done in more cases is
largely the fault of the men who
remain outside the union and who
hamper the unions efforts by trust

Mining Claims Of Nevada
Develop Fast

Black Mule, from which rich ore is
now finding its way into sacks for the
market. The Leader and Black Mule
claims have a common side line and
the Extension end lines the Leader.
The rich fssure in the Black Mule
trends in that direction and should be
found in the two Leaders, if it keeps
its course. BY the terms of the pro-
posed deal Fife and Bills get 100000
and some stock.
: The July claim is proving the won
der of the camp. The assure which
gave such sensational returns has de-
veloped from a narrow seam of quartz
to the width of eighteen inches at a
depth of twelve feet. The ore is a
white quartz. Assays showed 1900
ounces silver and twenty-four. ounces
gold.
Nine leases have been let on the July.
Climax and Black Mule claims. Nearly
all have high grade to start on. The
Duluth Leasing Company has been or
ganized, with mining men of Carson
City as members and c. r. Nichols as
was formerly newspaper man. He
had a few idle dollars and staked. Fife
and Bills when they went north. In
consequence he is now third owner in
the Duluth ground, which they located.
and also in the townsite. TIE leasing
company has two blocks of ground on
the Black Mule claim and has started
a shaft. The July ledge has been locat-
ed by trenching. d. Sheehan, an old
Comstocker, who has been more recent
ly with the Green Copper Company at
Cananea, has charge of the work, Be-
sides the leases the company owns two
claims, the Mohawk and Mohawk
Junior, which will be developed stimuli
taneously with the leased ground.
In the peighborhood of the town of
Phonolite, two miles from Duluth.
leasers are busy on the Silent Friend
claim and are taking out good ore.
Robert Baird, the district Recorder,
has made strike ON his lease; the
Silent Friend. At a depth of fifty feet
he opened up five feet OF ore, and. Is
now drifting on 1t.
There is. .considerab le~rivalry between
the towns of Phonolite and Duluth.
The founders of the two towns were
partners when the first discoveries were
made. but differences cropped up which
resulted in dissolution and the estab-
lishment of separate towns. Duluth
seems to have a little the better of it
up to date. as the Postoffice Depart
ment has recognized it's application fdr
postoffice, which will be presided
over by Fred Hess, one of the pioneers.
A stage line has also been established
between Duluth and Nina, sixtyfive
miles distant. which leaves Nina every
Monday.
The district Is one Of the oldest in
Nevada, and was long a producer of
rich silver ores. Midas or lone was at
one time a thriving place, and was the
county seat of Nye County. Berlin, one
of the old silver camps, is but twelve
miles southeast of Duluth, and Lodi
eight miles southwest. At Berlin is a
silver lead mine with a thirty stamp
mill in operation which has been run
internationally for thirty years. 1t be-
longs to the Stokes family of New
York. The Illinois mine has been a
producer OF high-elass silver ores for
twenty years. 1t is opened to depth
of $50 feet, and Is now shipping to
value.
