Show EUREKA, NEV. John Conway, night- watchman at the E. & P. depot, returned Friday from a month's visit in California. Mike Moran is still in San Francisco, but has about made up his mind to try a mining venture irt Arizona. Father Manion will hold the usual religious re-ligious service at the Catholic church tomorrow at 10 o'clock a. m. Sunday school at 2 p. m. A private letter received in Eureka this week states that' trouble is pmb-ably pmb-ably brewing at Tonapah between the Miners' union and the Tonopah com pany. According to the letter, it was understood on the streets of Tonopah Monday that the Miners' union endeavored endeav-ored to secure permission to measure the work being done in the company's shafts, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the contractors were making $4 per day. It seems this privilege was refused them by the superintendent, whereupon it was rumored the company com-pany would pay the miners now at work for the following day (Tuesday) and then stop all work indefinitely. The facts as set forth in this letter were gleaned on the streets of Tonopah, Tono-pah, the writer merely stating what he was able to learn from that source, so it is possible that the seriousness of j affairs in the new camp may have been somewhat exaggerated by public ru- I nior. . : : However, it has been suggested by many observers for dsome time past that the lack of energy displayed by ' this company in the-development of its property on a big scale was probably due to a desire upon its part to weed out the Miners' union in order to reduce re-duce the wage scale without too much friction the Philadelphia stockholders being reported to be- opposed to the present scale of U per day.
