Goldfields, Nevada, Dec. 5 ? When an attempt was
made Monday to pay the miners working in the district
with Clearinghouse certificates a vigorous protest was
made by the men and nine tenths of them refused to ac
cept the tender made by the companies.
Tuesday night a meeting of miners was held here and
it was decided to reject the offers of the Mineowners to pay
half cash and half Clearinghouse certificates and make a
stand for payment of the entire wage scale in currency.
This the Mineowners declared they were unable to do. Yes
terday morning neaily all the miuers in the district, by
common agreement, refused to go to work and the pumps
in several of the mines were unmaned for several hours.
The result of the desertion of the pump men caused serious
loss in one of the Sullivan mines.
The saloons were allowed to remain open all day yes
terday, aud the town being filled with idle miners, many
meetings at which trouble was fomented were held. To
add to the local troubles here much bitterness was injected
into the close down by reference to the trials in progress at
Boise where Western Federation of Miners are being tried.
This had the effect of causing numerous street fights and
at 110011 twenty-live special deputy sheriffs were called into
service. They were powerless to handle the crowds and
the city ha3 all night long been in the hands of drunken
rioters, but serious damages lias not so far resulted.
Goldfields, Dec. 5 ? At two o'clock this afternoon the
situation has grown so serious that the Governor has been
appealed to for troops. The miners have no working troub
les to become enraged over. The entire matter being the
inability of the Mineowners to get cash to pay the men
their salaries. There is no danger of any loss resulting to
the men, but it is utterly impossible to get the amount
necessary to meet the payrolls. Tonight, it is feared, at
tacks may be made upon the property of the Mining Com
panies.
Reno, Dec. 5 ? At four o'clock this afternoon a tele
gram was received here that the mines at Goldfield had all
been closed down and that an attack 011 the properties by a
mob was feared by the Mineowners.
Washington, Dec. 5 ? President Roosevelt has been ap
pealed to from Goldfields and has issued instructions to have
the Federal troops ready to enter Nevada at once.
San Francisco, Dec. 5, 3 p. m. ? The troops at the Pre
sidio have just been ordered to prepare, in heavy marching
order, to leave for Goldfields.
