5000 COAL MINERS MAY
GO OUT ON LONG STRIKE

WINNIPEG MAN,, Jan. I'll
There is great unrest among the coal
miners engaged in the southern AL
berta and British Columbia mines,
and before the renewal of the two
years agreement on April 1, 5000
men may go on strike.
The reason for the probable coal
mine strike is the expiration on
March 81 of the two-years' agree
ment signed by the miners on May
5, 1907. The men refuse to continue
under the terms of the agreement
and have asked for rate of increase
which the companies involved feel
that they cannot pay under the exist
ing contracts.

LEASING fever
BREAKS OUT
At PIONEER

RHYOLITE, Jan. 21.-The leasing
fever is epidemic at Pioneer. Fully
thirty applications for leases have
been received by the several COM
panies controlled by R. F. Tobin and
j. r. Bryan, including the Bullfrog
Pioneer Gold Mines company, the
North Extension company, the Los
Angeles Bullfrog Gold Mining com
pany, the K. K, and the Valley View.
Perhaps one-half of the applications
will be considered favorably by these
parties, the plan being to grant
Neases to responsible parties only.
1t is predicted that within a short
time large number of leasing out
fits will be at work all around the
Pioneer strike, and 1t is likely that
leases will be given on other prop
critics than those noted above.
Brodie and Bonham have started
work on the Bimetallic No. claim
of the Pioneer estate, and are sink
ing shaft on a very promising gold
showing.
Ed Hekelrath has started work on
the lease granted to himself, Charles
Ryan and John A Moffat. This lease
is on the Bluff claim of the Valley
View estate.
Prospect work on the X. X. claim
shows values of $3.50 in gold, and it
is likely that this ground will be
worked by leasers.

cations for leases, both of which will
probably be granted.
Rhyolite parties have asked for a
lease on the jolly Jane claim, which
joins the Jim Dandy on the north,
and they are ready to start work as
soon as the lease is signed.
The Los Angeles Bullfrog COM
pany, which owns some close-in
ground near the Pioneer, has receiv-
ed three applications for leases,
which will be acted upon shortly.

ROSEBUD DIST.
IS TAKING ON
new ACTIVITY

George A. Phillips and H. S. Pet
tilt, two operators from the Rosebud
district, who were in Lovelock this
week, report that camp as being un-
usually active. There is quite a num-
Der of men in the camp and as rule
all the assessment work for 1908 was
done and only in few instances did
claims go by default, says the Re.
view.
The most active property in the
camp today, the visitors reported, is
the Dreamland lease. Three shifts
are sinking while one shift is stopping
ore. The ledge on the Dreamland
lease has been opened to a depth ON
140 feet and values in silver are be-
Ing obtained running all the way
from fiftyto 5000 ounces. The gold
values average about $40 ton.
Calvin brothers, who are operating
the Gambler group, cut fine ledge
at depth of eighty-seven feet about
two weeks ago. The shaft in this
property is now 100 feet deep and
drifting is in progress. Some excel
lent values are being found and a
shipment is being taken out and will
be forwarded soon.
The Rabbit Foot group, compris-
ing four claims, is also another prom
Using property and has the earmarks
of becoming big producer. Several
prospect shafts have been sunk and
numerous lodges opened up. On one
of the claims a shaft twenty-three
feet deep was sunk and the values in
the bottom show $40 to 500 in gold.
F. H. Gunnell of Lovelock is the
principal owner of the Rabbit Foot
group.-Humboldt Star.

THREATENS HIM With

Garfield Man Frightened by violence
Which His Wife Warns Him Will
Come From Ghosts at
Her Command.

SPOKANE, Wash, June 29.-Declar-
ing that his wife daily threatens him
with violence at the hands Of her
"spooks," Fred Jankin Of Garfield,
Wash, south of Spokane, has filed a
petition in the Whitman county su-
perior court for divorce from Emma
Jankin, whom he married at Rath-
drum, Idaho, October 81, 1908. Jankin
alleges that soon after they were mar
ried his wife began a systematic course
of occult practices and would "call up"
the spirits of her relatives and ac-
quaintances at all hours of the day
and night for the sole purpose of an
noying him. He was importuned to
join circles and seances, and he adds,
because he objected, his wife threaten
ed him with violence. He also says in
his petition tflat his wife repeatedly
charged him with being untrue to her,
declaring she had received information
from the spirits" of departed friends,
with whom she was in daily communf-
cation Jankin was interested in
spiritualism, which is the chief basis
for the action.

HISTORIC TREE FALLS IN RIVER
Vancouver Allows Old Land Mark to
Topple Into Columbia.

VANCOUVER, Wash, June 29.-The
old witness tree a Balm Of Gilead,
the oldest tree in the city and the most
historic in the northwest, fell into the
Columbia river today, because the city
council refused to make a small ap-
preparation to preserve it.
This tree is the one from which all
surveys in this part Of Tie state was
started.
Lewis and Clark, when they made
their memorial trip to the coast, tied
their canoe to its roots. Under its
shadow the Hudson Bay company
started the first trading post in the
northwest.
The falling of the tree has cast
gloom over the city. 1t seems like the
oldest citizen had died.
In the body of the tree is copper
railroad spike, driven there by the Hud-
son Bay company. The base of the tree
is about five feet in diameter.
