non union miners who had been intercepted at Missoula a few Cays ago by the labor organization and Induced to discontinue their Journey to the mines had been persusded by the association to proceed It was expected that they would be through Mullan on the Northern Pacific train to night but the report proved to Be false and the excitement soon cooled down and the union men feel more confident to night of winning the fight than ever before Sixty one men were shipped from Dnluth yesterday morningahd every one of them has been persuaded to keep out of the Ccgnt dAlene A Swede who had charge of the men came through to Wallace to day and was interviewed by your correspondent He said I was informed by the man who employed me to take charge of the men that ther trouble had been settled and the miners had all gone to work and that there was only about sixty men wanted to fill up the mines and that I had better take the job while I had a chance as there wonid not be another snow I did not know thatlhed been deceived until I reached Missoula and then I refused to go any further and influenced my men to turn back Detnite anv reports that have been circulated to the effect that there was an armed mob of men hers Intlmiaatinir the citizens and parad ing the streets the town is more quiet than It nis neen neiore aunng its niswry inere is no violence manifested nor has there been and all reports to the contrary are false The mine is working about sixty men but they are doing very little work as they are not practical miners and do not understand ihe rock The old foreman refused to work with them after giving them a fair trial and resigned his position in consequence The main question is whether the mines can be worked with tbe unskilled labor that is sow being put in If so the mine owners will win their fight if not the miners will Carry tbe day and it is thought by competent mining men that the latter will be the case The association to day made some conces sions to the miners to the effect that they would give them the preference and adopt the old schedule Of working hours that ii ten hours on the dav shift and a nizht shift of nine hours with a short shift on Saturdays but the proposition was not accepted The Governor has arrived ton the scene and is endeavoring to bring the two parties together and effect a speedy settlement He states that be is well

who have been stationed at the Union mine came ddwn Co Burke Saturday night and left for Cataldo over the Union Pacific yesterday It is claimed that they were discharged There is every reason to believe however that these armed guards have gone to meet a traihload of scabs who are now bound for Cceur dAlene The mine owners are growing desperate and are nonplussed at the strength exhibited by the Miners Union Thomas Parker James Riegan Henry McGarvln A Gunning and A Cunning five of the armed guards stationed at the Union mine arrived hereto day and were immediately arrested upon warrants

of racing guaranteed the Blood horse Association believes it will be justified in spending from 10000 upward In making improvements which will be principally in the shape of new buildings Thedilapidated structure that has done meager service for years aa a club house and grand stand has been the principal cause of tbe poor attendance always notedat all racing meetings at the Bay
