GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT.

The Rawhide district is distinctly a
p~orphyry and rhyolite formation. The
geology of the camp is not hard to
read. Balloon hill is a r~eticulated mass
of breciated quartz. Erosion has TAX
en- place so that the ribs of the hill
are laid bare and the rock is at the
surface. It's a big white hill fairly a
network of interlacing veins and seams.
The rhyolite, which is a later formation,
comes up through the porphyry, max
ing a contact on the east and west
side. This contact runs the full length
of Balloon hill. The Kearns leases and

ORDERED OUT.
Directed TO Quit Work On
New Years Day.
Struggle in Four Western Ken
lucky Counties and Some
Fear Trouble.

Madisonville, KY, Dec. 30.-The ma
tional and district officers of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America have is
sued a strike cali for all union men
employed in the mines in this dis
trict to come out on Wednesday morn
ing, January 4, and the big strike Of
coal miners in Hopkins, Union, Web
ster and Christian counties will begin
on that date.
Preparations for the struggle have
been completed, large sums of poney
having been shipped into this territory
by the national organization, and tie
union side is well prepared for the
fight.
The coal companies have also been
making preparations, and many guards
are now employed TO be at the mines
both day and night. The officials OF
the union here state that they have
several hundred men on their list and
the larger part Of them will come out,
while they are confident of winning a
several places without a strike.
While there are comparatively few
union men employed in the mines in
Hopkins county and it is claimed by
the operators that only few men viii
go out, it is known that the operators
are expecting trouble. During the last
strike, several years ago,State troops
were sent to Hopkins county and the
entire county was in a state of unrest
for many months. Several men were
killed. and it is feared that there may
be repetition of this during the strike
which will begin Wednesday.
Hopkins county has been the bone OF
contention between the union and the
operators for many years, and every
effort has been made by the union to
force the mines to employ only union
men. AT present the mines are non
union, and have been since the last
strike. Al every meeting of the min
erS union, Wnen the wage scale was
taken up with the operators employing
union men, the men talked of strike
in Hopkins and Webster counties, but
especially in Hopkins.
This county will be the storm CEN
ter when the trouble breaks. and it
was hoped that the differences could
be settled without resort to strike,
On account Of the recent troubles in
adjoining counties, with the night rid
ers. much apprehension is felt, and it
is feared that serious trouble may fol-
low the strike. The union will GEN.
tralize all its strength in this one
county. and will make last desper-
ate effort to unionize the mines.

1T is the opinion of leading asso-

visited that such a conference should

of trouble must be removed before
