THE WABASH AND
ITS EMPLOYES
The Fight Has Gone no Further Tet Than
the Courts But It Looks Very Much as
If There WouW Be 'a Long,
Tedious Strike on the En
tire Sf stem.
GEORGE GOULD WILL BE AT ST. LOUIS ON
SUNDAY TO INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION
St. Louis, March 6. The Wabash
situation presents no new phase this
morning, everything and everybody are
waiting on the attorneys representing
the firemen and trainmen, who are ex
pected to make the next move. They
are carefully considering the bills
Darticulars filed by the Wabash In
application for the injunction granted
the-nther day and it is not known denn
itely when the answer will be ready
to
present in court.
It is stated that one of the grounds t
be lireed for the dissolution of the in
lunction will be the denial of the au
thorization of a letter sent to Wabash
employes at the time the vote was or
dered, purporting to come from a lead
er of the conference committee and
making threats against the company.
Both Mr. Morrissey and Mr. Lee say
they had no knowledge of the letter un
til It was used by the Wabash offlcia
ls
In their plea for an injunction. Morris
sey and Lee Intimate that they know
the author of the letter to be a member
nf their order who is a traitor to the
brotherhood and who wrote it to make
grounds for an injunction by the com
pany. Messrs. Morrissey and Hanahan
are looking forward to the visit of
George Gould, the head of the Gould
lines, including the Wabash to St.
Louis. Mr. Gould is now in Chicago and
has announced that he will be in St.
Louis on Sunday and make a thorough
insnection of the lines. The leaders
here are of the opinion that Mr. Gould
is coming this way on a special errand
to inquire into the situation between
the Wabash and its employes.

THE COAL STRIKE
COMMISSION
The Findings Were Pub

Herald in This Morning's
Issue.
VICTORY FOR THE STRIKERS
They Get a Ten Per Cent Increase
and the Methods of the Anthra
cite Coal Operators Are Don
demmedA N ine Hour Pay is
Kecommended. -
New York, March 6. The Herald
prints a summary of the findings of the
coal strike commission which it is ex
pected wiil be handed to the president
within a week. There will undoubtedly
be an Increase of 10 per cent In wages.
Per diem employes are not to have
their pay increased but recommended
the same pay for 9 hours as they now
receive for 10 hours' work. Wherever
practicable, operators will be required
to pay by weight. Miners will have
checking representatives at tlieir own
expense. This Is practically a second
increase. The causes of the strike as
found by the commission will not be
comforting to the coal companies but
the boycott will be condemned. The
terms of the verdict are to hold good for
three years.

Nogal, .March 6. The north Home
stake mine is showing up some very
rich ore In the new shaft. This mine
has been one of the best producers In
White Oaks and great things are ex
pected of the old mine in new hands.
The White Nut Mining and Milling
Company of Nogal, will commence
work on April 1 and continue through
the summer. This company has some
large ore bodies, of a fair grade and
promises to develop into one of the lar
gest mines In the .southwest. The mines
are on the south side of the White
Mountains In Cliff Canyon and are well
located as to timber and water.
Oeorge W. Harbin of Waterloo, la.,
has been in the Jlcarilla mountains with
a party of eastern people. They came In
a private car to examine the Free Gold
Mining Company's mines, also the
mines of the Rico Mining and Milling
Company and were so well pleased with
the showing made that they purchased
all the stock In both companies that
was for sale. These mining companies
were organized by W. A. Mclvers
about one year ago and have been In
successful operation and are showing
good results. Mr. Harbin is president
of the Rico Company, W. A. Mclvers,
vice president, and George E. High is
manager.
C. H. Dien of Paris, France, has en
gaged Hort. W. A. Mclvers to take full
charge of his oil lands and mining op
erations in New Mexico and Arizona.
Mr. Mclvers will assume his new duties
as soon as the legislature adjourns.
The Jlcarilla mining district In Lin
coln county is rapidly coining to the
front and by next fall will have more
machinery In operation than any other
camp in southern New Mexico. The
Rico Company, the Free Gold Company,
the American Placer Company, the
Hawkeye Company and the Jack Moun
tain Company, will all be operating, to
say nothing of many other owners who
will put In machinery.
The American Gold Mining Company
of Noga! has added a 50-stamp mill to
handle the ore from the American and
Helen Rao mines. It will also add con
centrators and a cyanide plant to treat
the tailings from the mill.
G. Pray Smith of Boston, Mass., has
secured control of the big leaching plant
at Estey City In Socorro county, and
will operate the same.
George E. Sleigh of Nogal, la busy
looking after the Interests of the Teco-
lote Cattle Company. He will drill
four deep wells to secure water In tne
50.000 acre pastures on which the com
pany will place 1,000 white faced cows
or in proportion, as water Is secured.
The extensive oil fields of Lincoln
and Socorro counties will be fully tes
ted by C. H. Dien and Company under
tho aiinervislon of W. A. Mclvers, who
located the oil lands for the New Mexi
co Oil and Development Company,
which is now drilling near Carrlzozo
with a standard 3,000 foot outfit. Mr.
Mclvers will erect two 3,000 foot outfits
for C. H. Dien and Company, one in
Socorro county and one in Lincoln
county, and In six months expects to
bring in producing wells.
The immense bodies of iron ana cop
per in the Jack mountain range owned
by Mclvers, Frost and Welshan, are
now being developed on a good scale
and when sufficient work has been
done to demonstrate their value to the
Rock Island system, a branch line of
railroad will be put in to the mines, and
a large blast furnace Is one of the pos
Bihiiities. These mines are the highest
grade Iron mines in the southwest and
there Is ore enough In sight to Keep a
hli? hlast furnace running for many
years. New Mexico has more undevel

and territories. ;
