As the result' of an encounter between strike breakers in the employ of the street car company and policemen, on Wednesday, five men are in a hospitof the hurt. al, one of them dangerously None of the officers were hurt, although the street car employes fired over fifty shots at them. The story told by the police In a report to Captain of Detectives Colby, casts all the blame on the car men. In substance it is as fob lows: At 11 : 15 oclock a work car with all the lights extinguished, and carrying a force of twenty-fiv- e strikebreakers, left the car barn and ran down Twenty-fourth street to a switch back at Bryant street. When passing the tent of the union pickets at Twenty-fourtn and Potrero, the men opened fire, directing volleys of shots at the tent. In switching back the car at Bryant street, half a dozen of the car men were Inadvertently left behind and the work car started at high speed on its return to the barn. Police Officers Miller and Bigelow, attracted to the scene by the noise of the shooting, were joined by Officer Wade, who had been stationed at the barn. The three bluecoats encountered at a point about 100 feet from the barn the car men who were returning afoot. We were in full uniform, says Officer Wade, and not more than 150 feet from the when we called out to them to halt and not to shoot that we were officers. Instead of obeying this command, the men faced about at us and the whole bunch of them opened fire with revolvers. Aboui fifty shots were fired at us by them, but none of us was hit. We returned the fire promptly and got five of them. non-unio- n Steady Stream' of Europeans Coming Into tho Pacific Northwest is Resented by People Who Havo Long Been Residents of That Section. non-unio- n Seattle, Wash.

Coincident with the riot was the arrival of a steamship having on board at least 500 With a common impulse Japanese. the mob surged to the water front and as the Japanese came down the gang plank they were met' by the rioters. Seven or eight of the Japanese were unceremoniously picked up and thrown Into Burrard Inlet. Still further rioting occurred Sunday evening about 10 oclock, when a crowd of about 4,000 laborers again started on the warpath, but were finally quelled by the police after about twenty successful arrests had been made. Chinatown is roped off and the quarters of the orientals are guard ed by the police.

The grade of the Nevada Northern tracks in back of Ely will soon be ready for one line of rails. The lower portion is completed and only two or three small fills are to be made back of town. A viaduct is being put in at the west end of Ely so as to make it safer for travel by teams that are hauling supplies to the mines.

The mining, interests around Roosevelt, Idaho, are looking .more promising than ever before since the boom collapsed and a number of experts sent in by various parlies have expressed grqat faith in the future of the camp when it shall have recovered from the injury done by extravagant statements and swindling stock games. A copper mining district closely akin to that of Ely, Nevada, trom the standpoint of physical characteristics, and within, whose precinct3 sufficient development work has been done to demonstrate the continuity and generous distribution of ores, is the Seven Devils section of Idaho, properties in that district showing copper ore that assays from 3.5 to 28 per cent. According to Webster and other authorities, a mine is a pit where minerals are dug, says the Denver Mining Reporter. There are many other definitions, some now obsolete and otners extant, but all of which are, in instances, quite inadequate Vnd even - An exact definition of the term seems almost impossible, as so much depends upon the point of view taken.
