been taken from the mine and four are
known to be In the mine, burled under

Three others are missing.
The work of reacue cannot he com-

allowed the gas lo accumulate. It Is
thought a greater number than can be
accounted for may be entombed.

COMMITTEE COMMANDS
BUSINES8 MEN AND MINE OWN-
ERS TAKE CHARE.
Of the Situation In Goldfield anti Allow
No Industrial Worker to be Employ-
ed in the District—Senator Nixon
Arrive* There.
Goldfield, March 16.—"The commit
tee wishes to announce at. this time
that It has been definitely ami finally
decided that none of the mines of the
Goldfield district will be operated un-
til this entire matter Is settled and
that, no member of the industrial
Workers of the World Is employed in
this district as a miner or In any otic
er capacity.
"The committee also wishes to reit-
erate that it has no intention of dis-
turbing, or evon considering in any
way. the wage -scale in effect in 'his
district and that it will use its entire
influence and the interests for which
it Is acting to prevent any violence or
undue and improper disturbance pend-
ing the settlement of the Industrial
question at issue.”
The foregoiug is an excerpt from a
statement issued this afternoon by the
executive committee of the Business
Men’s and Mine Owners’ association.
With the statement were published
the names signed to the original >-eso-
lutlons against the Industrial Work-
ers,
Miners are leaving the district, but
sufficient others are coming in to off-
set the departures. All of the stores
will reopen Monday, but without In-
dustrial Workers of the World clerks.
Preston and Smith, accused of com-
plicity in the murder of John N. Sil-
va. the restaurant keeper, have been

Goldfield. Nev., March 16.—United
States Senator George S. Nixon, presi-
dent of the fifty million dollar merger
known as the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company, has arrived from
Washington to confer with his partner,
Geo. Wingfield. He said today:
"When I arrived yesterday I regret
ted to find Goldfield in an industrial
turmoil, especially in view of the fact
that there are no differences over
hours, wage;; or union principles, the
only difference being between two la-
bor organizations. The mine owners
"Speaking for the companies in
which 1 am interested, we liaise al-
ways been in favor of employing union
men, at union wages and hours, and
are still in favor of doing so, and will
be a* long as we operate properties in
the state. I trust that a satisfactory
agreement will sefon be reached so
that the mines can be opened up. The
conditions which exist are not the
choice of the business men or the mine
owners, but were forced on them. The
present trouble differs front any in-
dustrial troubles which have ever oc-
curred. So far as the properties con-
trolled by Nixon and Wingfield are
concerned, we have decided that
these mines shall remain closed un-
less they can be opened up on the
linos laid down by the business men
and mine owners association.”

Mr. Kellogg said his company would
lie satisfied with any kind of a sub-
stantial bridge. “We were asked,”
continued Mr. Kellogg, “to submit a
free bridge proposition and we have
done so. Tf El Paso and, Juarez want
to take charge of the bridges and
maintain them we will make them
free tomorrow, and I believe that
since the dam will prevent any future
floods, there will be no trouble in get-
ting the Mexican government to aban-
don the iron bridge proposition, and
If so the people may not have to build
bridges of any kind for eight years,
and they would -lie saving $12,000 a
year in toils.'''

C. N. Kellogg, general manager of
the street railway company, in ex-
plaining to a Times reporter yester-
day why his company had proposed
to make Us bridges free if (he cities
of Juarez and El Paso would substi-
tute the present bridges with iron
structures four years hence, said that
the proposition had been solicited.
"Several months ago,” said Mar.
Kellogg, “l was asked by Mayor Davis
of EI Paso and Mayor Montemayor of
Juarez if an arrangement could be
reached by which our bridges could
be opened to the public as free
bridges. Under our concession from
the Mexican government we*muat, in
tour years, substitute swinging iron
bridges for those we now have. • With
this in view we have been saving op
our bridge toll money with the inten-
tion of using it to build the iron
bridges. Our annual receipts from
the two bridges amount to about
$12,600.
"After mv talk w-ith Mayors Davis
and Montemayor t informed the gen-
eral office at Boston that they wanted
us to submit terms for making the
bridges free and the other day 1 had
a talk with Mr. Montemayor and told
him the company would make the
bridges free at onbe if the two cities
would assume our contract with the
