S. Regulars Now in Camp at Goldfield, Nevada. Ooldfloid, Dec. 9. Encouraged, doubtless, by tho prespneo of federal troops in Ooldfloid, tho aoldflold Mlneowners' Association hold a meet ing yesterday afternoon, and last night gave out a statement In which it Is openly said that the members of tho nflanclntion hnvn ilrcldcd to make la determined struggle to free Oold ' field of union domination and make this an open camp. Tho statement of the purposo of tho mlneowners 1b direct and unequivo cal, and throws down tho gauntlet to tho Western Federation of Miners. Officers of tho association refused to say if any steps havo already been taken toward importing non-union miners In sufficient numbers to re open tho mines, which aro now idle and rapidly filling with water, but stated that many telegrams are being received hourly, offering men, and that within 48 hours tho mines could bo opened with the samo number of men as wero formerly at work In them. One concern in San Francisco It is said, offered to send 1,000 men on an hour's notice. The ollicers of tho association say, however, that In their belief there are enough men in the camp who will leave the union now to mako tho importation of men unnecessary, and they are looking for these men to mako application early in the Week. It Is impossible, the operators say, for them to get enough men In tho mines at present to operate tho pumps and keep them clear of water. Cave-Ins are constantly taking place, and other damage is being wrought by reason of the Inactivity. No unusual excitement was caused by tho arrival of the first detachment of troops and the crowds that gath ered at tho depot quickly dispersed after tho troops had marched to the mess, in the northwestern part of the city, where they have gone into tem porary encampment. Ooldfloid la quiet and there are no Indications of impending trouble. The Nevada Workman, organ of the mine workers in Goldfield con tains a statement by Charles K. Mac kinnon, president of the Goldfield Miners' Union, in which he says: "There la no sane man in the dis trict who will say that there was any need for the federal troops In Cold field." The paper says editorially: "It is evident that the Mlneown ers' Association intends to re-enact tho tragic scenes of Colorado. The coming of the troops means nothing short of that. Violence and disorder will ensue upon the arrival of the troops and it Is apparent that the gloomy history of Colorado is to be rewritten." A statement to the public by the Goldfield Mine Operators Associa tion states in the beginning that "re peated outrages against individual rights and banishment from the camp of men desirous of investing In the mines, open looting of every mine carrying high grade ore and deeds of violence have become so unbear able that tho owners must either close the mines, hand them over to the union, or make a desperate effort to gain the right to work them as we please. We have chosen the latter alternative, and propose to make one final struggle for the right to man ago our own property." KING OSCAR IS DEAD.

Nine years ago is an ancient period in modern battle ship construction, so great have been the strides in American naval archi tecture. The collier Abarenda has preceded the fleet south with coal. There were scenes oi activity on board the vessels yesterday. The crews of many of the battleships were engaged in filling the bunkers with "picked" coal, while oth ers were engaged in loading supple mental magazine stores. RECOVERING BODIES.
