Dispatches from Gold Camp In

About to End.

Operators Insist on This--Vice Prcsi-
dent of Union said to
Favor This.

According to Goldneld dispatches the
camp between the mine owners and
miners bid fair to become settled.
Members Of the Western Federation OF
Miners have tired OF the long struggle
into which they were plunged through
the unnisdom OF their leaders.
II seems that some conferences have
been held during the past week between
officials of the Mine Operators associa-
ton and c. Il. Munoney, vice president
OF the Western Federation Of Miners.
with the result that an understanding
is about to be reached which win result
in calling off the Goldheld strike. the
operators, however, insisting ON an
open camp. 1t Is proposed to adopt the
Tonopah scale of wages. which is $3.50 for
miners and "a for muckers, This Is tho
plan now outlined. which Is said to meet
with the approval of Mahoney, and
which win be submitted 10 the assocla-
ton In day or two.
The difference in the wage scale
would be more than offset in the saw
permit properties to resume work which
are not so situated that they can pro-
tect their men. The opposition to the
plan. II is expected, win come from the
Consolidated company. but II Is sup
posed by those Interested that this
obstacle can be overcome.
Another dispatch states that a lively
scrap occurred yesterday afternoon be-
tween Is non-union miners from Utah
and about 40 union men, the non-union
men being victorious, routing the enemy
and chasing them off the grounds of the
Consolidated company to and down
