CALUMET, Sept 20.-The Mining Gazette says: The strike of the Western Federation of Miners in this district gradually is wearing itself down. As originally predicted it will never be called of, but gradually the
 miners keep on returning to work and the strikers ard moving away. so that the Federation foothold is becom- ing less and less important This week sees the Calumet X Heela mak | ing daily rock shipments running over | 5000 tons daily and the Copper Range mines now are running close to 1000 tons daily There has been no not able increase at the Quincy. Superior
 or Isle Royale mines as yet and at
 none of the other mines has any wor,t been attempted, nor will any be at tempted until the men themselves de- mand it.

 There continues to be some eyi- dences of differences of opinion among the officials of the Western Fedora ton of miners who are running the
