Miners


Chispas mine, located below Arizpe, has
been forced to close down on account
Of the strike which has been in effect
there for the past three or four weeks
and nothing is bein- done except to
pump water. For a short time even
the water was not pumped.
The company has been experiencing
a great amount Of trouble and an
nOuncement Is made by one OF the
management that the property will be
closed down tight if nothing is done
to settle the difficulties between the
company and its men. The cause OF
the strike is said to be chlefly the
demanding Of the company that the en-
DlOyeS submit to search or their
clothing before going out Of the mine
ground on account of Catching cold,
although they have been doing so for
the past five or seven years.

district. and a number Of armed men
have been at the property for the past
few weeks. but whether the aIIalr IS
settled or not is yet unknown. There

the camp and these will be forced to
seek employment at another place II
the strike is not settled at once.
