SEARCHING OF MINERS.
WORK CEASED. BY TELEGIUriI—ritESS -ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Melbourne, Deccmbor 9i The miners at the Virginia mine, Bondigo, have struck against tho signing of an agreement providing for tho searching of them. Gold-stealing in various forms has beon alleged to ho on tho increase in recent years, both in Victoria and in West Australia. The daily searching of all the men, in order to prevent the crime of some, lias always been resented by the great, body of minors. There was a lime in tho history of a Northern gold mine when detectives paid a surprise visit ti tho mouth of the shaft, with tho object of making a search that was not anticipated; ,but by eome sort of wireless telegraphy the news got below, and the detectives found no specimens. , But it is said that quite a number of them wore dropped on the horizontal timbers of the shaft as tho cago descended.
