The first and third dïvisions of the Michigan Navül Reserves, located at Detroit, werb also ordered to be in readiness, with their Gatling and rapid fire guns, to proeeed to Ishpeming on short cotice. The cause of all of this military gathering was for the purpose of protecting the men and property at the mines at Ishpeming, it having been decided to start the steam shovels at the mines. The mining companies fcad asked their men to report for work, but they refused and when the companies announeed that they would start the shovels with other help the strikers became very threatening. Sheriff Broad and Mayor Johnson, upon consultation, &greed that they could not muster foree enough to orotect property and workmen and finally decided to ask Gov. Rich for troops with the result previously stated. Thus it was that within 36 hotirs almost 300 troops were at "Camp Ishpeming" ready for duty. The following are the companies which reported first: Co. II, of Ironwood, commanded by Capt. Winslow, 03 men; Co. D, of Calumet, Capt. Grierson, 70 men; Co. F, of Houghton, Capt. Miller, 57 men; Co. G, of Houghton, Capt. McArthur, 52 men. Total 2S7 men. Col. Lyoni is the officer in charge. Promptly at 7 o'clock the steam shovels were started at the Lake Angeline, Lake Superior and Salisbury mines. The presence of the troops seeined to have a quieting effect upon the strikers for although they assembled on the surrounding hills in great numbers they did not venture dangerously near the picket lines. The vromen were out in force and were more demonstrative than the men. They gathered in groups and crowded towards the stock piles, where the men are employed, and keep up a continuous cryof "black leg"and "scab. "' Their conversation was of the most inflammable nature. The parade of the strikers to Union park was very largely attended by strikers from both Ishpeming and Xegaunee. President Coad, of the miners' union resigned and John Roberts was chosen as his successor.
