The ques- tion of quantity is one that he will not find s0 easy of solution. Where there ara so many people more or less closely connected with the Harney Peas company, one would not expect to find diffeulty in securing an opinion entitled to some weight concerning the real cause for the shut_down. Yet the employes and agents of the company ar very close-mouthed, ana those who do the talking are as a_rule not_on the inside. A prominent gentleman in mining circles, however, assurcs Titg BEE that he knows absolutely the mill is shut down on_account of a disagreement between the Fnzlish and American ends of the company relative to method of opening the mines.
