STRIKE TIES UP

Argentina fared a whoh tale stoin -

fit ril.es.
I
The prompt sin r. . i. to strikers j
demands made by the Central Ar- j
gen'ine Railways re entlv has re-!
suited in encouraging laborers in.
many industries throughout tiie
country to attempt an improvement
in their conditions as to wages and
hours of work.
The government has lis -at litd
two shiploads of marines and sail
ors to Avellaneda to reinforce
guards protecting the feed tunnels
supplying Buenos Aires with elec
tricity. The same circuits give cur-1
rry.t to ilie city’s street railway re
st m, on which a strike already has
forced withdrawal of half the curs.
Four hundred naval stoke”s are
operating the electric light plant
itself, owing to a sympathetic strike
of fir< men there.
Other trades in which strikes are
either on or about to be declared
include bakers, marketmen, car
penters, millwrights and news
venders. in many instances they
are nationwide movements.
Employes of the Buenos Aires
Pacific and Central Cordoba Rail
ways have joined in the strike.
Such a nioji* ties up the trans
andeau route. The employees of
the Central Argentina Railways,
who had returned to work, \v< re
reported ready to go out again on
a sympathetic strike.
The railroads were reported com
bining for the purpose of asking
British and American ambassadors
to bring pressure on the Argentine
government for their protection.
Much foreign capital is repre
sented in the railways. The compa
nies have already made advance de
demands to the governors of the
provinces of Santa Fe, Cordoba,
Buenos Aires, San Luis and Men
doza for protection of their proper
ty.

Ji hicoe's condemnation of this plan

The policy arrested considerable

The counsel in the ease of Sund
quist versus Lee ct al., expects to
be able to argue their sides on Mon
day next. The defense will con
clude putting in its testimony to
day. it will take all of Monday
and the best part of Tuesday to get
through with this case which is the
most important from a litigation
point of view .which has been be
fore the court this summer. In ad
dition it is safe to say that upon
the. decision more important matter
devolves than in any mining case
ha3 been up for consideration
within the past several years. For
this reason it has been receiving
very considerable attention from
miners and claim holders generally.
Walter W. Johnson, the General
Manager of the Union Construction
Co. writes that he had expected to
be able to make an end of the sea
son trip to Nome, but business was
for talking about reprisals is ended
and that nothing can come of such
unless there is the will and the
intention to inflict, a crushing h's
son upon the Germans that will
make them realize their bwn tot y.

They had practically completed
the shipment of two 3 1-3 ft. dred

would engage in taking out placet
tin. They were now engaged in
the construction of a 20 cubic ft.
dredge for W. H. Esterbrooke to
be placed on a California location.
This dredge when completed would
he the largest gold digger in the
world. They shipped in on order a
4 cubic ft. dredge to Fairbanks.
The firm was now branching out
and they were negotiating with the
city of Oakland for 25 acres of

founding a modern steel ship build

an early success in these negotia

LONDON, Oct. a.—Tin- British

This is the machine that is to bo
