SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Fen. 7.- (SpeciaI) )-R W. Wiley. president of the Silver Hill Mining company, one of the profitable ventures in Mexico, arrived in San Antonio to- day directly from the scene of dis turbance in that country Mir. Wiley has been for the past three months in the zone from which reports of much fighting have come. When asked about the trouble he laughed and said:
 "A few marauding bands of out laws have been making some truuDls down there. but have done nothing to serve as a base for newspaper stories circulated in the United States. So far the depredations com mitted are no worse than those by the James and Younger gangs some years ago in the United States and in some instances not as bad.

HARD FIGHT IS IN AGAINST
 MERGER

Houghton. Mich-In a spirited ses- sion Tuesday evening OsceoIa stock holders voted to make determined fight against the proposed merger of their company with Calumet and other subsidiaries The committee of five, appointed at the last meeting. presented a formal protest which was adopted, and a copy will be mailed to stockholders. 1t is in eli feet the same as the set of resolu tions adopted at the previous meet ing, and published a few days ago.
 The organization claims the con trol of upwards of 13000 shares, and is hearing from dissatisfied stock holders scattered from Boston tt California, all of whom express them selves in sympathy with the move. ment at the local stockholders ana will send their proxies to the local committee without solicitation. A communication rom w. II. Dwelly, of the American Woolen Co, voicing his protest against the merger. was read and vociferously applauded.
 Replying to a set of resolutions, mailed him several days ago MT. Asassiz answered all recitals in detail with arguments decidedly in favor of the consolidation, and sug- gested further that the committee again call upon General Manager McNaughton. This suggestion was not approved and was practically voted out.
 Protestarts are very much in earn est. and outside encouragement is giving them the confidence that promises to develop into a red hot fight at the March meeting, when the proposition to merge will be voted on.
 Lake Superior is being counted upon to furnish quite 20,0O0 shares to be voted in opposition to the mer- ger.
