new DISTRICTS
SHOW ACTIVITY
MINING CAMPS IN EASTERN PART
OF THE STATE COMING
no THE FRONT.

Increased activity in all the min
ing districts of the eastern part of
the state is reported by former
Congressman George A. Bartlett,
who has returned from the Kimber-
~ section, where he spent week
looking after legal affairs for the
Kimberly Consolidated Mines COM
pany, of which he is the general
counsel
At Kimberly a marked increase
in mining activity was noticed
while the camps in Humboldt coun-
ty are rapidly coming to the front
The Battle Mountain section is look
ing better than ever, and Mr. Bart
lett looks for small-sized boom
during the summer months.
Present indications make it APP
pear that the entire state will soon
witness revival in the mining
game, said Mr.. Bartlett. THE re-
cent new developments in the Mex
lean property at Virginia has acted
as stimulus to the Comstock
stock market, and with the advance
in the price of these securities, a
sympathetic movement has been felt
all over the state.
Extensive development work is
being carried on in all of the large
districts and the present output
from the camps that have been
working along in a quiet way, has
served to attract considerable at
tention in this mining world.
From the present outlook it APP
pears that we are on the verge of
revival that will be legitimate
in every way. In other words, |
look for a quiet boom-one that
will be justified and will work out
for the interest of the entire state. .

THINGS THE PAPER DON'T SAY
The following from an exchange
was evidently written by someone
who speaks from experience:
Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is good deal like preach

sented i'll the form of generalities
or some fellow will get hit and

the homeopathic doses, if it hits
him. But while preachers criticise
editors for what they say, no one
thinks of giving them credit for
what they do not say. Yet what
they keep to themselves co asst
tutes the major portion of what
they know about people.
Very many people harbor the
belief that newspapers are eager to
publish derogatory things. 1t is a
mistake. There isn't a newspaper
that couldn't spring a sensation in
the community at any time by
merely telling what it knows. There
is not a newspaper that does not

STRIKE ON The
WESTERN PACIFIC
QUITE imminent
TIE-UP Is INEVITABLE UNLESS
MEN ARE GRANTED RAISE
IN WAGES.

WINNEMUCCA, New, April 26.-
Unless the demands of the engi-
neers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen of the Western Pacific for
an increase of wages are acceded to
or a settlement is effected, a gem
eral strike and complete tie-up of
the road is probable within the next
few days. Though the fact that
matters had come to a crisis be-
tween the company and it's en-
ployes has been kept quiet by both
sides, it has leaked out that strike
is imminent and almost Inevitable.
In fact the date for the tie-up is
set for today unless the company
agrees to the demands of the men
or the dispute is submitted to ar
bitration.
1t is commonly known that the
Western Pacific employees are the
poorest paid of those of any rail-
road in the west. For instance, pas
senger conductors and brakemen are
paid $25 less per month than the
same employees on the Southern Pa
cific and the difference in the wages
of freight conductors, brakemen, en-
gineers and firemen is even great
er. Ever since the Western Pacific
was opened for traffic the men in
the train service have been working
for barely living wages and their
repeated efforts to secure an increase
to schedule equal to that paid
by the Southern Pacific and other
lines operating in the same territory
have met with stone-wall opposition
from the officials of the Western
Pacific.
Another cause for grievance is
that Western Pacific crews are re-
quired to do switching in terminals
| without pay, whereas overtime is
paid by the Southern Pacific for
| his work. But the chief point of
| dispute, of course, is the demand
of the employees that their wages
be increased to that which other
roads pay. And those who are ia
miliar with the starvation schedule
which has been effective on II
Western Pacific ever since the road
was opened, do not question that
] the demands of the men are per.
fectly just.
The ultimatum of the men has
been expressed to the company of.
ficials through their grievance com
mittees, representing the various
| orders, who are now in San Fran.
cisco. The grand officers of the
railroad organizations are also in
San Francisco, comforting with the
Western Pacific officials, SO far with
out effect. The poll has been tax,
en- and the men have voted tt
strike and the situation has reached
he breaking point.
1t is said that members of the
National Labor commission are now
enroute to San Francisco and it is
possible that the commission may
adjust the differences between the
Western Pacific and its men, but
the outlook for a settlement is no
bright, unless a substantial increase
is granted to the men.
