TONOPAH MINES SHUT DOWN

Miners imported to break the strike of miners at Tonopah were induced to take the back track from that camp, a few days ago, and the mines in con- sequence are idle. The strike was brought about through reduction in wage that was unacceptable to the miners and the line up appears to have intimidated the men sent in to take their places. Tonopah is the one great silver camp of Nevada, and it is hoped that the shutdown will be but temporary. There is always way to settle differences and the men at the head of affairs of the two factions should get together.
