Martial Law Expected at uoianeia
When He Arrives.
Goldfield, Nev., Dec. 11,. It was re
ported here last night that General
Funston is to come to Goldfleld person
ally to lake charge of thesituation here.
More troop, it was also said, may be
sent. Governor John Sparks arrived
yesterday afternoon from Carson and
had a conference with Colonel Aiireu
Reynold, in command of the Federal
roops here. Meetings of the executive
committee of the Goldaeld Miners
union and of the Goldtleld MineownerV
association were held last night.
It is believed here that President
Roosevelt ia responsible fcr the decision
General Funston to come to Gold-
eld; that the intention is to take tho
conduct of affairs out of the hands of
Governor Spark and the Esmeralda
county official and that martial law
ill be declared in Goldtleld immedi-
ely upon the arrival of General Fun
ston. .
Doubtless the request for thla drastic
tiorv by the president came from the

only reason for the present trouble
was the decision of the mine opera
tors to rorce upon the miners a scrip
that would not be taken at par by
me railroad company, the Wells-
Fargo Express Company, the post
olllce, the store or the boarding
houses. Neither would the mlneown
era guarantee that they would re
deem this scrip at any time in the
future.
"In refusing to accept this worth

taking a manly stand against the
usurpation of governmental func
tions by unreliable banking firms,
which assume the right to set aside
the legal money of the nation.
"We desire to call the attention of
the American people to the awful

500 coal miners were murdered by
the capitalist system In Its greed for

The officer of the association say,
however, that in their belief there
are enough men In the camp who.
will leave the union now to make
the Importation of men unnecessary,
and they are looking for these men
to make application early In the,
week. It Is impossible, the operators
say, for them to get .enough men In
the mines at present to operate th
pumps and keep them clear ot water.
Cave-Ins are constantly taking place,
and other damage is being wrought
by reason of the inactivity.
No unusual excitement was caused
by the arrival of the first detachment
of troops and the crowd that gath

Impending trouble.
The Nevada Workman, organ of
the mine workers In Goldfleld con
tains a statement by Charles K. Mac-
klnnon, president of the Goldfleld
Miners' Union, in which he ayi:
There 1 no sane man in the dis
trict who will say that there was any
need for the federal troops In Gold-field."
The paper says editorially:
"It Is evident that the Mlneown
er' Association Intends to re-enact
the tragic scenes of Colorado. Th
coming of the troops means nothing
short of that. Violence and disorder
ill ensue upon the arrival of th
troops and it is apparent that the
gloomy history of Colorado is to be
rewritten."
A statement to the public by the
Ooldfleld 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 th
mines, open looting of every mine
carrying high grade ore and deeda
of violence have become so unbear
able that the owner must either
lose the mines, haad thein over to
the union, or make a desperate effort
to gain the right to work them as we
please. We have chosen the latter
Iternatlve, and propose to make on
final atruggle for the right to man
ge our own property."
