declared off by majority vote of
the Lane City Miners union. The
property. which was closed down twp
years ago, the first of last July, will
resume work in few days with
Harry Malloy in charge. Within a
month-two months. at the most. be-
tween 300 and 400 men will be EN-
ployed In the old workings, and the
district will have an additional paw
roll OF from $50. 900 to s60.0e0. This
is the very best news that could be-
fall the district at this time, outside,
perhaps. of the discovery OF a g~eat
ore body of high grade In the Gi-
roux mine. All day yesterday the
miners were voting on the propo-
sition at Riepetown. the polls closing
at $40 o'clock When the ballots
were counted, IL was found that there
was a majority of six In favor Of
calling OF the strike. A majority
of one would have been Sufficient

due the credit for bringing aha.;t the
settlement OF the trouble. nr.
Brown came here for the purpose of
effecting the settlement nearly six
weeks ago, and found himself con-
fronted with a most difilcuit propo-
sitlon. The Nevada Consolid ued
company was indifferent TO the re-
sumption of operations In the
Veteran; the majority of the local
miners union was opposed TO 1t.
Mr.. Brown discovered this situa-
tion shortly after his arrival here.
Attorney Sam Belford had been
working on the case without a'ail
for several months. He had been
working as an intermediary on his
own account: but II was always be-
lieyed that II he could bring to IL
company the right kind OF a propo-
sition. the company would agree u
Il. He knew the cause OF the strife
two years before, and knew 10 what
the company would agree, and knew,
also. to what the company was oppos-
ed. The miners stood out for
$3.50 daily wage for mnckers.
Miners, who were in favor OF calling
OF the strike made the point In the
union meetings that II was not fair
to miners that muckers should re-
ceiye as much as they: for they
themselves had to learn the skill OF
the miner before they could receive
the wage of the miner. But the ma
jority always voted these men down.
This was the situation which con-
fronted Mr.. Brown. and he himself
was In a delicate position. Tne
matter of calling off the strike rested
with the local union; the represen-
tatiye of the Western Federation
could act only In an advisory capaci-
ty, and the first meeting he called re-
suited in a vote to continue the
strike. He argued the matter In the

Wrestling has taken quite a grip

Olson has been in the professional
game for three years. and has been

for this match was allowed only four

his opponent outweighed him nearly

is praise indeed for the McGill boy,

RESIDENTS RAISE PROTEST
AGAINST DISTRICT STABLES
Indignation Meeting Held in Temple Baptist Church.
Petition Will Be Sent to Commissioners Set
ting Forth Objections

\ resolution calling for the circulation
of petition of protest against the pro-
posed rebuilding by the Commissioners
of the stables in the square bounded by
Tenth, Eleventh, n. and o streets, used
by the street-cIeaning department, was
unanimously adopted at a citizens meet
ing last night at Temple Baptist Church.
John R. Galloway was elected chair
man and DR.. II. c. Duffy secretary of a
committee in charge of the petition.
The present plans show that the new
building will extend from the old build
the entrance is to be. facing Temple
Baptist Church. The middle alley in this
square Is to be widened fifteen feet,
which will necessitate the tearing down
of back fences and a number of small
garages, besides a number of small
houses. The building will be four or
five stories high and will cover a space
of 16S by $50 feet.
1t is the intention of Chairman Gallo
way to have every resident within four
blocks of the stable. including the Hen
gregation of the church to sign the peti-
ton, which will be ready to send to the
Commissioners early next week.
At the close of the meeting thirty
eight names were added to the list The
petition, with the new names of last
evening, follows:
I'VE, the undersigned residents and
owners in square No. S67 and in
the neighborhood thereof. do most ear
nestly protest against the maintenance
of the stables in said square now used
by the street-cleaning department of
the District of Columbia, or the rebuild
ing or enlargement of said stable, for the
reason that it is injurious and menace
to the health of this section of the city,
which is densely populated and is ex-
clusfvely a residential neighbOrhood.
The use of the said stable by the
street-cleaning department by reason of
loud profane. and obscene language and
noise at all hours of the day and night,
has become an unbearable nuisance and
has made the neighborhood almost unin-
habitable. and has greatly deprecated the

fascination for fire engine gongs and
the excitement caused by heavy. apa-
ratus rushing through the streets brought
sorrow yesterday to nine-year-old Hilson

when the blame for a false alarm was

night an alarm was turned in from a box

was no fire to be found.
Clever work on the part of Sergt.
