and Sheriff Quits in Disgust; Protest Says There Has Been
No Occasion for Troops; Understood That Permanent Mil

SAN FRANCISCO, December 6. Five companies of the twenty-second
infantry stationed in this city and four companies of tho samo regi
ment at Monterey were despatched to Goldfield today by Brigadior Gen
eral Funston, commanding tho department of California, in compliance
with orders received from tho war department, tonight. About 150 men,
and fourteen officers under tho command of Colonel Alfrod Reynolds, loft
Oakland nolo on a special train of four Pullmans and two baggage cars,
shortly beforo noon. Tho Monterey contingent consisting of 100 men un
der Captain Curtis, left that city this morning. Tho San Francisco troops
were delayed two hours near Davisvillo by tho wreck of a freight train.
Goldfield will bo reached by tho troops early tomorrow. Owing to a
storm in tho Sierras communication with Gcldficld is restricted. No overt
acts havo yet been reported and while thero is considerable excitement
over the coming of tho troops, good order prevails.
Tho Monterey detachment carrie3 two Vickcr-Masim machine guns.
Rations wero taken to last thirty days and tho troops aro -well supplied
with shelter tents. Each soldier Is provided with 290 rounds cf ammuni
tion. When asked how long tho troop3 would probably remain in tho
mining camp, Colonel Reynolds said ho had no idea, but was making
preparations for at least two months.
GOVERNOR'S APPEAL
WASHINGTON, December G. Govcrncr Sparks appeal to tho presi
dent dated at Carson City, yesterday is as follows:
' At Goldfield there now exist demonstrations of violence, unlawful
conditions and conspiracies which do now obstruct and hinder the execu
tion of tho laws cf Nevada and do now deprivo of tho rights, privileges
and protection named in tho constitution of tho United States, particu
larly as follows:
"Unlawful dynamiting of property, tho commission of felonies,
threats against livo3 and property cf law abiding citizens, unlawful pos
session of arni3 and ammunition and tho confiscation of dynamite with
threats of unlawful us of tho same by preconcerted action." Lawfully
coasfiHtcd authorities of tho state arc unable to apprehend and punish
tho perpetrators of said crimes and to prevent commission of threatened
crimes and unless relief 33 requcstad is granted the state, the lives and
property of a largo number of people will be irreparably affected or dam
aged. 'Therefore, pursuant to tho constitution of the United States, I here
by respectfully request your excellency tho president, to immediately send
to Goldfield, two companies of troops cf tho army of the United States to
suppress unlawful disorder and violsnce, to protect lifo and property,
to rcstoro peaco and to insure the protection of the law to tho people of
tea state."
Tho president's reply was as fol'.ows:
"To tho Acting Secretary of War: Referring to the accompanying
formal request of Governor Sparks of Nevada for federal troops to restore
order at Goldfield, please direct General Funston to send a sufficient num
ber of troops to bo wholly adequate to meet any emergency. It is far
better to avoid conflict by sending too many troops than by sending too
few to run tho risk of inviting bloodshed.
(Signed.) "THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
FUNSTON HEARS SOMETHING.
In a dispatch to tho adjutant genaral here, Funston says:
"I have just conferred with pronincnt mining operators of Goldfield
how here, and a man thoroughly familiar with all conditions there. Ho
stated that tho We3tern Federation la Goldfield numbered 3,200, of which
abor.t 1,000 hav.o rifles or shotguns. Not mere than 300 of these might be
considered dangerous, and he doubts if they would resist regular troops.
Their leaders aro some of the men who mado so much trouble in Idaho
and Colorado. Tho danger is that boTore troops can arrive they will blow
up mines and kill people. Tho sheriff is a member of tho federation and
in sympathy with tbem. Tho schedule time of tho train is tweuty-six
hour3 and the special could" make it in eighteen hours. I feel I should in
form tho department that I had act:d within three hours after tho re
ceipt by mo of tho message. The first information camo from Washing
ton correspondents."
Acting Secretary of War Oliver today mado public all correspondence
to that tho facts impelling tho ordering of troops might be known. In ad
dition to Funston's first dispatch announcing that ho intended to send
two companies to Goldfield, camo the later correspondence showing that
apon insido information as to tho sitjation in tho mining camp it had be
ccmo apparent that a much larger force would only invited attack or re
sistance by tho riotous element, when an overwhelming force would in
cure peace by making it apparent to tho lawless element that resistance
would bo hopeless.

should bo made over his head. The
sheriff and his forces havo always been
charged by tho mino owners as being
more than friendly to the miners. Ho
is one of the owners of tho largest
saloon and gambling houses which is
patronized by miners. Last spring dur
ing tho strike hundreds of striking min
crs wero sworn in as deputies and arm
ed. It was because of their mistrust
of the sheriff that tho mino operators
appealed to tho governor direct.
Officials Protest.
Undcr-Slicriff Bert Knight and nearly
all the county ofliccrs signed a protest,
against tho troops and sent it to the
governor.
It is understood that tho coming of
troops means n permanent garrison nt
Goldfield. It is dcclarcil that tho plan
has been under considorntion for n
number of months, and that a number
of appeals have been mado by mino
owners throughout the' state for such
action by tho war department. jBut lit
tle of tho details could bo gathered,
but it is understood that tho post will
be a branch of tho Presidio and that it
will bo n regularly established military
post. '
Tho statement is mado that tho post
would be established in it fow months
and that troops aro being hurried to
Goldfield ahead of timo to prevent it
possiblo outbreak of violence in an nt
tompt on tho part of tho owners to
open the mines.

GOLDFIELD, December G. Herbert
Belford, son of Judgo Belford of Dqii-'
KSIi appeared today nt tho office of tho
Illegal department of tho Goldfield Con
solidated Mines company with his face
so badly disfigured that ho was hard"
ly recognized, as tho result of treat
ment received Saturday. His face was
bruised, his noso broken, uppor tcoth
knocked out and several ribs broken.
Belford claims ho was recognized in a
saloon and called to tho sidewalk whoro
ho was taken in custody by a man wear
ing a star and representing himself to
be a deputy shoritt. He was led
through a lonely district, supposedly
on his way to jail, when ho was sot
upon by thugs and loft for dead. He
was found two or threo hours after
wards unconscious and taken to a hos
pital. Belford had been accused ot
having scabbed. Ho was also accused
of being too friendly with dotectives in
Goldfield and ho was taken to tho min-.
era union hall to clear his record, but
found no one to identify him. Ho was
then permitted to go with a warning,
but was later assaulted. Belford says
11 friend, ono Greenly, who had been
threatened was nowhere to be found
and his trunk nnd effects arc in his
room just as ho left them. Belford fears
that ho has been killed or deported-
Dynnmitors aro said to have- matle.nn

power line which furnishes light and"
power to Goldfield. Patrolmen today
discovered 100 sticks of giant powders
scattered around a tree nnd poles near
tho place where the line crosses tho rail

Holes had been bored in two poles and
tho caps had exploded, but tho powder
being frozen it failed to ignite.

No Report Made Yesterday, but
Jurors Fxnp.fit to Hnndudfi!"'111 " this morning.
Tonight Beef , jrust May
rjave Been Lost in Shuffle.
Bomothing must have happened in
the federal grand jtry room yesterday
morning that wns not orithe schedule,
as arranged by the federal graft prob
ers. Just what it was could not bo
learned, but an inkling was given to
tho public by Judge Nave, when the
jurors appeared in tho court room im
mediately following tho noon recess.
Whether the jury came before tho court
at the instigation of the federal of
ficials, or whether they requested it
themselves, could not be learned, but
from the instructions given by tho
court, it seemed evident that there had
been a conflict betweon the government
counsel and the jurors.
Judge Nave informed the grand jury
that by order of tho attorney general
of the United Stntes, Peyton Gordon,
representing that official, was to havo
admission to tho grand jury room, that
power having been granted by an act
of congress in 1900. Tho court also in
structed tho grand jury that it was not
to consider public policy in the enscs
brought beforo it; that they were not
to refuse to return indictments because
thoy thought them illegal, but" to ac
cept the law as laid down to them by
the government prosecutors. Tho grand
Jury retired to their quarters when tho
court concluded and although they were
in session during tho entire day, no in
dictments were roturncel when they ad
journed for tho day.
Among tho witnesses examined yes
terday was F. C. Dczcndorf, chief of
sfiocinl agents of the; interior depart
ment. f.or Arizona nnd New Mexico and
it is presumed Hint bo placed before the
jury tho evidence ho hns collected since
ho began his investigation of the case.
A nmber of locnl witnesses also appear-
c(1 beforc tho Q . aiiring tho
day.
tt. u-n lonrnnil lnf. nvmiine that tho
federal jurors expected to conclude
I their deliberations and adjourn today,
Ibut owing'to the non-arrival last evon-
ing of an important witness, it is prob-
nolo tnat tnc grand jury win do in
session until at least Monday evening.
'Tho expected witness is Captain Fred
Mueller, register of, tho lnnd office at
Santa IV, who will arrive here ithis
evening.
After Meat Company.
That indictments were sought dur
ing tho present sitting' of tho jury
against tho Globe Wholesale Meat com
pany for violating the Shermnn anti
trust law is no longer u secret, but
it is not believed that United States
Attorney Alexander 'experienced much
success along these linds. A lnrgo num
ber of witnesses wero examined, but it
is doubtful if tho meat company was
proven to! bo in any sense a trust.
An unsuccessful attomnt was mado by

CANAL BONDS BIDS
AFEE ACCEPTED
COMO AT
Bonds to Amount of $25,000,-
000 To B.e Allotted; Banks
Get Most of Issue,
WASHINGTON, December C Tho
secretary of tho treasury has accepted
bids for Panama canal bonds to tho
amount of $25,00000. The avcrago
price of all bids received is 103. Un
der the terms of the law ami tho sec
r tary's acceptance of these bids, the
allotments of bonds of individuals and
institutions will be confined to small
subscriptions from $10,000 down to $50.
The amount of bids from individual!,
and institutions which have been possi
bio to accept will as heretofore, not be
large. Tho remainder of the accept
ance will bo bids of national banks.
Thoy come from every section of the
country and nre meistly in ' small
amounts. The offering of Panama
bonds was largely over subscribed, but
the improvement in business conditions
following tho announcement of tho re
cent monsures of relief by the treasury
department is regarded by the secretary
ns warranting him in limiting the is
sue to half tho amount offored. The al
lotments of 3 per cent certificates will
not exceed $15,000,000 nnd theso have
been confined to national banks through
out the country which nro in position
to take out at once, additional circu
lation, this being a measure designed
to afford immcdmto relief innsmuch as
considerable time would necessarily
elapse beforo tho canal bonds could
bo put on the market.

Disaster Unparalleled in the History of Coal Mining in America
Occurs in -West Virginia Yesterday Morning, When Explo
sion Entraps Entire Day Shift Just After Going to Work in
Two Mines.
LATEST REPORT IS THAT 380 MEN
ARE SURE
Six Bodies Recovered and Five Men Taken Alive but Dying
From Air Shafts; Tell of Fierce Struggle of Entombed Men
to Escape From Death Trap; Force of Explosion So Ter
rific That Props in Entry Were Blown Out and Across River.
MONONGAH, W. Va., Decembe: G, Six charred bodies lying in an
improvised morgue, five badly Injured men, 493 men imprisoned by tons
of coal, rock and mino debris in the depths of tho hills surrounding thi3
mining town, with the chances all against a single ono being 'alive, is the
most accurate summary obtainable tchight of tho re3Ult of a mino ex
plosion today, which in all probability is attended by greater loss of lifo
than any former disaster In the hisicry of bituminous coal mining in
Amciica.
The explosion occurred at 10 o'clock today, after a full force of 500
men had gone to work in the two mine3 affected. These are mines No. 6
and No. 8 of the Consolidated Coal company, located on opposite sides of
tho West Fork river, but merged in the underground workings by huding
and on the surface by a great steel tipplo and bridge.
The finding of tho six bodies and tho five dying men is tho only re
ward of strenuous uninterrupted woik on the part of the largo force that
was immediately set to work at every possiblo point.
Five living men, all of whom aro unable to give any detailed report
of tho disaster, stato that immediately back of them when they began
their frpjttic straggle for liberty aftsr the explosion there was a large
number cf men engaged in a similar struggle, whilo still further back there
was tho largest number, of whom thcyknow nothing. It is the opinion of
mine officials that theso men had not penetrated the mine far as had the
majority of tho day shift when the explosion occurred, and that they head
ed for or rushed for the main entrance befcro the heavy cave-In that now
blocks tho cntranco not more than a few hundred feet from the main
opening of No. 6.
NO HOPE FOE BUEIED MEN.
Tho miners referred to as havirg been alivo when last seen, and be
lieved to have been caught back of
vived more than a few pnnutes iruthc deadly gases with -widen thV
fctcamc fiuaa.as soon aif-the ventilating system was interrupted. There is
incro hopo for those in the mcro remote sections of tho mine, as they
may have reached the workings where fresh air is supplied by other open
ings, bat at the best, only a Elender hepo is entertained for tho survival of
any In tho mine when tho debris ccn be cleared away and communication
with the outside re-established.
Tho two mines regularly employed 1,000 men working in two shifts,
and tho bC3t information obtainablo at this time, is that the entire day
force had gono to work and that all wero caught. At ten o'clock even
the latest of tho straggling force arc customarily at work, according to
the officials.. Beyond these figures the company officials do not attempt
to give estimates.
The general opinion in the town Is that the number of dead and im
prisoned will reach COO. A few persons believe this number will be ex
ceeded, claiming that moro than half tho total fcrco worked during tho
day, whilo on tho other hand some think the number will be smaller.. The
mo3t conservative estimates place tho number of victims at 300 or more. "
380 IN THE TWO MINES.
FAIEMONT, W. Va., December 6. At eleven o'clock tonight the-list
of employes had beca checked off, showing that 380 were in the two mines
when the explosion occurred. Of these six had been brought to thesur
facc dead, and five escaped through air shafts. The latter are in thiamin-,
crs hospital here, in a precarious condition. " JLtL
Neither entry has been opened to tho real workings and Indication
aro that a majority if not all caught in the mino are dead. It is rumored,
that the mino officials ordered 380 coffins shipped to Mcnongah as soonas
possible. '!!.
There is much speculation as to the causo of tho explcsion, bat tho .
generally accepted theory is that it resulted from black damp, scientifical
ly known as methane. It is believed that a miner attempted to set off a
blast which blew out and ignited tho accumulaticn of deadly gas and,
that this in turn ignited coal dust that is a highly infiamablo substahcetg
found in greater or less quantities in all West Virginia mines. As evi
dence of tho terrific force of the concussion the props in the entry of
Nc. G supporting tho roof were not only shattered and torn from their
position but were blown out of tho entry and to the cast side of the
river.
