SUIT AoAihsT MINERS.

Carson City, New, Jan. 1.-THE
United States circuit court today took
up the matter Of an Injunction against
the miners union Of Gsldaeld asked
for BY the mine owners' association.
Afadayits covering many pages were
and read to the court by
attorneys for the operators. All tend
ed to show that the miners union had
been the prime factor in all the labor
troubles Of the camp since its dis
covery. The union vas accused Of
countenancing the action OF the "hign
graders" and protecting them by their
fight against the change room system
that was adopted by the operators for
the protection Of their high grade ores.
The case viii be again taken up Mon
day, when II is expected that sheriff
Ingalls, Of Esmeralda county will be
present and will testify in behalf OF
the miners union. Other peace oht-
GERS will be called to prove the con-
tention that the troops are unneces-
sary and that Goldteld . peaceful

FIGHT AMONG THE OPERATORS
BENEFITS THE PUBLIC.
SHERIDAN IS HAPPY
Corporations Reduce Their Prices In
Competition With the Farmer Min
ers and the Househoiders Are
PIeased-MIId Weather The Cause.

Sheridan, Jan. 11.-Coal was re-
duced 81 per ton today as the result
OF a wal being waged BY the mining
companies against the farmers
mines.
All the corporations have been
holding coal at $3.50 per ton while
the smaller mines operated by farm
ers have been selling at So and $3.50.
The mild winter has made the demand
for coal much less than at previous
times and the farmer miners have
been able to supply the needs OF the
city.
Ut is stated that the various corpo-
ration mines have entered into an
agreement to hold up the price Of
coal, but the mildness Of the season
and the extra demand made on the
| smaller mines on account Of the diff
ference in price caused them to in
crease their output until the sale o.
company coal has been very small
during the past five weeks.
The good roads and the extra ct
fort Of the country mines has 70
yored the farmers and the reduction
LIS made in an effort to equalize thu
patronage. The farmer mines are ex
pected to meet the reduction with
similar proposition and a coal war 4
imminent.
