Find-| ing that the Gwin employes did not go out on the representation of a small dele- gation sent by the unfon vesterday, the union marched to that point this | afternoon, 200 strong.

Acc ng to m received from superintendents in the day some of the men failed y either part of the mandate, a few explaining that they dared not return work for fear of violence from the v pickets, and others being afraid t they drew their pay thelr action would be accepted by the owners as an in- ication of sympathy with the strikers The ma of 1en, however, drew thefr wages, but a large number of these are reported by the superintendents to ve sign a willin to return If permitted by the union. A Wildman honey mine, which s just on the imaginary line drawn by the union between the north and south 1hiine owner, a man named Sweeney, wh had previous experiences with ldaho strikers, immediately *closed down his mine when he saw the miners’ com ittee approaching. He has been work- g the Wildman-Mahoney mine under a 40000 bond, with poor success, so it is cported, and did not care to expose him- y further risks. It is expected thaf the strike will be extgnded in a few days to the mines in northern Amador County, where it is said the owners are with the proprietors south of Sutter Creek the sentiment that nc attempt should be made to import men to take the places of the strikers, but that all the mines should be closed down, which will preclude the possibility of any great expe : or the destruction property through attempts to drive men from the mines. ¢ mine owners deny the stories that cen circulated to the effect that ave tried to coerce their men into tronizing company stores or boarding- bouses, which, they claim, do not exist in section of the State where the strike is on. It is asserted that the best wages are being pald to miners in Ama- dor County, notwithstanding that only f the mines, the Central Eureka, has ying dividends. The other proper- it is claimed, are only breaking even in their expenses and in some instances been | the mines are being worked at a loss. The effect of the strike is already be- ing felt in Northern California, as was yesterday when it was an- pounced that the directors of the Amador County Lumber Company had called a meeting at Jackson for Thursday and would order their mill closed owing to the fact that there will be no demand for material during the strike. Fred Sicbe of this city, when he learned | of the intended strike, telegraphed to the superintendent of the Alma mine, which is his property, to close the place up un- tl the trouble was over. —_——— Mine Operators to Meet. A meeting of the executive committee of the California Mine Operators’ Associa- tion has been called. It will be held in this city next Monday. The subject matter to be taken up is the strike in the gold mines on the mother lode. Several members of the committee live out of this city, but they have been notified. The mine oper- ators declared yesterday that they will shut down the mines rather than submit to the terms made by the Western Fed- eration of Miners, the rate of pay being $4 for eight hours of work. — Removes Fire and Police Board. DENVER, April 14—Governor Peabody late this afternoon declared vacant the offices of the Denver Fire and Police Board and appointed the following gen- tlemen as their successors: James O, Parrish, Fire Commissioner and president of the board; George P. Steele, Police Commissioner; George T. Woodside, out- side Commissioner.
