THE SILVERTONIAN, SILVERTON, B. C. Blfj STRIKE IN CLEVELAND. TEE STREET CARS TIED UP. Fourteen Lines Ar* Stopped—Owned hy One Company—The President says He will Arbitrate the Trouble—Strikers Bub the Mnil Can. Cleveland, June 11.—What promises to be a long and bitter contest between the Cleveland Electric Railway (Big Consolidated) and its 900 employes has been inaugurated by a strike which tied up all of the 14 lines operated by the company. These lines reach all sections of the city and they fonn the only means of transportation for more than 100,000 people living in a territory five miles long and three miles wide at the south end. The west side is affected but little, only one line passing through that section, while on the east side four lines of the Little Consolidated, of which Senator Hanna is president, are available for use by most of the patrons of the tied-up lines in that section. Tims far the Little Consolidated men have refused to strike and are not likely to go out Will Recoarnlse No Union. President Henry A. Everett says he is willing to concede all the other demands for the men and will adjust all other grievances when presented by hia employees, but declares he will never retog- nizc the union, whose demands he characterizes as tyrannical. It is well understood the company has employed men in other cities to take the' places of the strikers, but it is difficult to ascertain whether many of these men are now in the city. Only about half a dozen cars were operated today. There were two Euclid avenue lines and they were under the guard of deputy sheriffs and were operated by imported men. A few mail cars were run by the strikers, who say they will .not obstruct the mail. There have been several riotous demonstrations, but none of a serious nature. The Colombia Launched. Bristol, R.

Mrs. Oliver C. Iselin christened her "Columbia." The launching of the latest protector of Uncle Sam's sailing laurels was probably one of the most spectacular that has ever occurred, for the light of the day had almost faded when she started down the ways. A Distressing Accident. Just as the Columbia was about out a distressing accident occurred. The explosion of a can of flashlight powder blew a leg and part of the head off Napoleon Ban Souci, aged 1_ years, broke the legs of two other boys and severely injured several other persons. The photographer who caused the accident selected the top of a shed, the roof of which was closely packed with boys. Bnrlal af ■ Missionary Bishop. The buiial at Vancouver of Bishop Dur- ien who for 25 years worked among the natives of British Columbia, was the occasion of a remarkable scene. Surrounding the bier were 6000 Indian- chanting a death song in the native guttural tongue, swaying their bodies in unison to measured strains of music while on an elevation in the rear of the catafalque the crucifixion of Christ was being enacted, a lay figure representing the Savior being lowered from the cross by Indians dressed in vestments of Biblical characters. Marksman Missed Hie Man. Wardner, Idaho, June 11.—Under the fire of his negro guard, Mike Johnson, crazy and desperate, made a dash for liberty by jumping into the river. Down the rapid stream he bobbed like a great black cork, while on the bank his keeper, breaking through the underbrush peppered at him with his Krag-Jorgen«en rifle balls. Somehow or other the floating target evaded the lire but the treacherous eddies were too much for him, and Johnson's body was found 20 minutes later- drowned. Shot Dead. Manchester, Ky., June 11.—During the trial of Tom Baker there were serious disturbances, and one man is reported killed, with several wounded. The militia quelled the disturbance, dispersing the crowds when the Catling gun was brought out For days the court has been hearing arguments on the motion for a change of venue, and tha motion was granted, whereupon the court adjourned.

Republic Work Is still ln progress on the Dora. Work ls still being prosecuted ln the Troubadour. All work has been suspended on the Mark Tapley. No reason Is assigned for so doing. There ls over four feet of solid quartz In the face of the drift in the Princess Maud. The shaft on the Delta ls 75 feet ln depth and high grade ore is carried across the shaft. The Summit-Republic vein ln the shaft still Improves In site and quality of quartz with depth. The shaft on the Ben Hur is going down very slowly. The size of the shaft precludes rapid work. Thc shaft on the Morning Glory Is going down rapidly. There Is not the least doubt that the shaft is ln fine ore. The Chespa-Blue Jay shaft Is going down with reasonable speed. It will be several weeks before the shaft will reach the 100-foot level. Some fine silver-lead ore is said to be coming out of the cross-cut ln tho Independent. It lies north of the Lorna Doone about one-fourth mile. Tbe Black Tall ls showing fine ore in the cross vein, aa well as on the Surprise ledge. Every foot of development brings new surprises. The Gold Ledge ls making a fine showing. The average assay Is upward of $40 per ton. The ore that is being passed through greatly resembles that obtained at the depth of 50 feet. Home fine ore has been found in the Mabel. It Is a steel galena carrying considerable copper. No assay has been made hence ita value can only be surmised. There ls no ore In the camp like It. The Gold Led*-.* .Extension is also showing, uo wail. Sufficient work has been done to demonstrate Ita course and also to prove beyond doubt that it carries the same vein as the Gold Ledge The Gold Mountain shaft is 33 feet deep. The outlook Is promising There are several other properties in the vicinity of the Gold Ledge that are likely to be as rich as that now famous nrop- erty. The Lorna Doone In Cody Camp Is showing up a little better every day. The entire shaft ls in high grade ore. This week the shaft will have reached the 100-foot level when the ledge will again be crosscut. The Republic Giant ore ls steadily improving ln value and the ledge gets stronger with depth. The outlook for the property grows brighter every day. The Palo Alto tunnel ls being driven along the ledge. High grade ore Is still the story that comes from the Republic. There is no change that ia worthy of record from day to day. There is no apparent diminution In the width or value of the orelafcen out. The mill is doing good work and everything ls working satisfactorily. The record ef development work for May is most gratifying. The Increase over April Is about 600 feet. This will come as a surprise to many, as lt was generally conceded that the total would be considerably leap, owing to the closing down of numerous properties. While lt is true that there was a ma- t'rlal falling off in many claims and some were not worked at all, the great mines of the camp—the Republic and Mountain Lion—nearly doubled their April record. The Republic has 865 feet to IU credit and the Mountain Lion 413 feet. The total for the month foots up 4,088 feet, or nearly four-flfthB of a mile. If the amount of development In Summit, Gold Hill and Cody camps were added It would foot up almost a mile. British Colombia.

The bond which Clark & Sweeny held on the Big Buffalo has been given up. During May the Columbia, North Pole and May Queen mines shipped to Baker City from Sumpter, 182,356 pounds of concentrates and ore. Some assessment work is being done at Buffalo Hump, In spite of the draw back of unfavorable weather, this being among the things that cannot wait. The Butte k Boston company has sued Heinze Brothers for $50,000 damages and an injunction to restrain work on the ore body apexlng on the Michael Davitt claim. The Delamar Mining Company have purchased the Big Buffalo mine for $500,000, the first payment of $25,000 to be made July 15th. This mine is the original discovery of the famous Buffalo Hump. A charge of perjury against George A. Blodgett was dismissed on motion of the county attorney. Blodgett submitted an affidavit in the supreme court endeavoring to show collusion between District Judge Clancy and John MacGlnnis In the receivership of tbe Boston & Montana Company. J. R. Hunsaker and son and Bert, Wm. and Jack Vaughn, who discovered and recently sold the Vaughn copper mine, on the Oregon side of the Snake river have received from Glass Bros., of Basin, Mont., the second payment on the purchase price of the mine. A few* days ago the Hunsakers and Vaughns bonded another copper property neur the Vaughn mine, for $50,000. The Red Boy mine has sent to the First National Bank at Baker City its clean-up for May. The output was about $26,000. One who is Interested ln the mine says tlie May clean-up was almost the same as that of April, which at the U. S. assay office, Boise, weighed 125 pounds. This mine, if It continues to yield at the same monthly rate, will produce $300,000 during 1899. The register and receiver of the Helena land office have received a decision from the assistant commissioner of the general land office, In the action brought by W. B. Gaffney and others against Davis C. Turner and others, that is of great Interest to mining men in this state. The assistant commissioner in effect holds that if a person acquire the right to a patent for mineral lands, under the statute of limitations of the state, they do not forfeit that right by failure in subsequent years to perform assessment work on the property. Continual rain and snow render travel and work almoet impossible, and make life In Buffalo Hump,.even duller than usual. The army of prospectors Is getting impatient for the disappearance of the snow. Small patches of bare ground, however, are beginning to show on the hillside south of Lake creek and down near Fish lake, though the main body of snow is still three or four feet deep all the way from the lake to the headwaters of the creek. It ls claimed that there is more efficiency in a single heavy stream— 2,000 of 3,000 inches under a high head —than can be obtained from the same amount of water under a like head divided into two streams when directed against a gravel bank, according to the .if ihi»./ and Scientific Press. The proper method of using two streams at a hydraulic mine ls to use one stream to cut the bank down and the other to wash the loosened gravel Into the sluices. Two of the Party Drowned. •Stockton, Cal., June 11.—At midnight last night a party of 21 young people who were enjoying a pleasure ride in the steamer Catamaran on Uie river were precipitated into the water by tlio overturning of the boat, A desperate struggle for life followed and for a time it was reported that many had been drowned, but nearly the entire party was accounted lor. Rescue parties from the shore saved many of the young people and strong swimmers who were in the party managed to land the rest of tho half drowned party safely. How the accident occurred is a mystery. Later it developed that Miss Mabel Kaflt- and Walter Henderson, tl.e engineer, were drowned. _ < ' '• Snvr.1 hy Banning* Ashore.

"Manila, June 9.—Adjutant General, Washington: The result of the movements in Morong province was to drive the insurgents into the mountains, capturing Anlipoli and other towns in that sectioh. Tl.es retreated and scattered before our advance, leaving 25 dead on the licht. Our loss ia four killed and a few wounded, mostly slight. The city of Morong is garrisoned. All other troops are withdrawn. "Inhabitants of the provinces profess ■friendship, and ask protection. Large numbers wish to enter Manila, but were refused, as the city's population is increasing loo rapidly. The leading native*, about the island, including active insurgent leaders, ask pei-.nis.siou to send their -.-lilies to Manila, as it is considered the only pluce of personal security." The conclusions drawn by the war department officials concerning the condition in the Philippines, given in the dispatch of General Otis, are that the insurgents are little more than a marauding band which will continually decrease when the men find there is life and liberty under American government. The people who are coming into the American line asking protection ure considered like those who sought protection in the forts during thc early slagcs of American development iu the west. Nothing is said as to the intention of Otis to continue active hostilities, but this matter is left wholly to his discretion and he will no doubt fight or rest as the circumstances dcteimine. in linn of the Volunteers. Tlie Oregons request to defer the time of their departure until the 12th. They will leave for Portland on the transports Oiiio and Newport. The Sixth infantry's arrival will relieve the Culifornians at Negros. Tlie Hancock sails in a few days nilh lhe Nebraska and other troops. General Otis has been advised that it ia the with of the president that all arrangement- be made to give the returning troops a comfortable voyage and that the best cure of them be taken so that no sickness may break out among them. lt is also said Uiat precautions will be taken not to load the transports too heavily so that the returning troops may have plenty of room.

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness ls caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and when It ls entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out, and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which ls nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Surely these men are entitled to be at least allowed to earn, by the sweat of their brow, a decent living in this the land they have made.

They have collected ?3".00, just twice what was subscribed by Silvertonians for their one day celebration. Nelson has over 5000 people, Silverton has 200 Figure out tin relative subscribing capacites of the two place- In the mines of British Columbia are hundreds of American citizens, native born or naturalized, many of these latter being born Canadians This fact was shown in a striking manner during the last Provincial election, the smallness of the vote in comparison with the number of workmen, being surprising. In thn natural course of events, these alien workmen would never bave become citizens of Canada, no matter how long their residence here. While these men were receiving fair treatment and good government, they were content to leave tbe franchise to others. Now, their votes are needed by tho party who has legislated for them in the Eight Hour measure, having made by this legislation, enemies of the capitalists and their class. In justice to the government that has placed its political life in the hands of tho working class. every man. who is in sympathy with their actions, should see that his name is found on the next list of voters for the Province. If an alien, he should become a citizen if possible; if n British subject, he should not rest unashamed until he receives the franchise It is only by their votes that they can secure legislation favorable to the masses., Tbe Nelson Miner grows hysterical over the resolution passed by our lo- r-al Union last Saturday, a copy of which will be found in another column. It propones to imprison the passers at once. Most of thi" outburst can be traced to the fact that the Miner has made itself obnoxious to the Unions, who have not hesitated in saying so. If the Miner would confine itself to highly interesting fish stories and graphic descriptions of thunderstorms, it would be doing better service for itself and for the community. PBSse.1 Ily The Silverton Bllnsrs' Unl-i., Jons 10th, isoo. Whereas the wonderful advance of invention has Increased and is increasing the productivity of labor to that point where laborers are being rapidly displace*! by machinery and larger number- are thus yearly forced to idleness and competition for places to work, thoreby bringing about a condition that tends to tbe reduction of wages: And whereas, if the wage system and tho system of private ownership shall continue along with the advance of invention it is plain to be seen tbat the condition of wage-workers must grow rapidly worse unless arbitrarily altered, Therefore, though we favor .och political action as shall aa soon as possible abolish said systems and substitute thereto* asystem based on tbe rights and duties of men. Resolved, that wbilo struggling for the Co-oyerativo Commonwealth and the eit.blisbmeut of ju**tico and equality among mon we favor, for temporary relief, the reduction of hours of labor as our best defensive weapon. And whereas tbe B. C. parliament, at its last session enacted a law creating an Eight Hour working-day for underground miners, which law, it is a»sorted by the Silver-Lead Mine Owners' Association of B. 0. and others, was unsought and iimlesired by us: Therefore 1* it resolved by the Silver- ton Miners'Union No. 71, W. F. M.. ihat the contrary Is true; that we favor the law and its enforcement and that we shall seek such farther reduction of hours ns shall make a demand for the daily labor of every man willing to wo.k, und n3 shall, bv creating inch increased demand f ■! labor have a Undo uy ti> increase ffWjes. Aud It.solved. That we will support with our voles the govern ment enmliii*.' and enforcing thi.s law and ml-Ii othei laws u tend to restore to labor ita jus' reward. Resolved, That it i« an improvement of our coudition ihat we are Reeking*; that wo do not feel tilled u o i to inantain Ihat as iniirh woik can be done in a few as in man.' hours or that it is right for us lo continue doing as much work as heretofore in order that we may justly demand the same pay. We assert that we li ivj time too much w irk for the money, that we wero not getting ten hours' pay for ten hours' work rand we deny that we art* asking "ten hours' nay for eight hours' work." And whereas it is wise for us to vigorously use e\ery resource at our command in order to ipeedily effect the ends we are seekinu. Resolved, That those who oppose us are our enemies and that those who aid us are our friends, and that we will treat I hem accordingly. Resolved, That we will not love onr enemies, that we will not "turn the other cheek;" that we believe that Retaliation is Right, And Therefore Be it Resolved That we denounce as unworthy of our patronage such parers as the Spokesman-Review of Spokane, the Miser of Nelson, the Mining Record of Vancouver, and all others that, like them, delight in special sophistical and parasitical pleading for those whs despoil ns and snpport them from a small portion of the spoils. And to tbe business man, the merchants and hotel men; to the professional men, the lawyers, doctors and preachers, all of whom, at periods of intenser struggles between employer and employee, usually affiliate with tbe former and deplore tbe agitation that discourages investment—to vou we have this to say: We know tbat tbe rich would become richer if we would consent to give them a larger lake-off. But not only is a just er and wider distribution of wealth in our interest, it is in tho interest of the State or country, and we are therefore your best citizens. We seek to "encourage" men to hope for the largest possible share of what they produce and are entitled to. You ask us to "encourage" capital to come in, by promising to give it rich rewards. You ask us to "encourage" men with a hundred thousand dollars to see that thev can here increase it to a million. But we deny that it is desi/able to have any man in possession nt a million, and maintain that we right fully refuse to aid you in encouraging capitalists to come here with such greedy hopes, The higher wages and fewer hours that we favor would fill this country with the most intelligent, effective and happiest workmen of the world, a citizenship to be proud of. The dollar a day laborers tbat would most encourage the capitalist would drive every self- respecting citizen out of the country, nnd Iene only cabins here for houses, while palaces would be built in Spokane, Butte, Salt Lake and London. And we say to you business and profession*'1 men that, we propose to "encourage" business ai d I ro'essional men who do not give aid and comfort to our enemies. Resolved, That we do not consider ourselves any hotter than the minors if the Coenr d'Alenes. Outrageous and arrogant wrongs have ever provoked and should provoke violence. The history of no country needs to be closely searched to find records af violent resistance to tyrants.
