MINERS HATE ORIENTALS

Residents of Goldfield Order Chinese and Japanese Workmen to Leave the Camp.

RENO, Nev., Saturday, Dec. 17. Goldfield residents have given out the edict that the Chinamen and Japanese must go, and the Celestials and subjects of the doughty Mikado have already started to heed the injunction. For several months the aliens have been flocking to the gold camps until finally they became so numerous that the miners and business men of the place thought it best to protect their own interests by ordering them away from the two camps. Thus far the orders have been obeyed and no trouble is anticipated.

The Southern Pacific Company, in its haste to make a standard gauge road of the Carson & Colorado, has employed many Japanese and Chinese. Many of these have or had Goldfield and Tonopah in view, but to prevent them from going to the camps, the exile order has been sent along the line of the road where construction work is in progress.
