Tonight Qeneral Little, ohairmad of the State Arbitration Board, gave out the following: ' Tbe uniformity is within reach. Tbe miners have signified their purpose to promote its execution and its enforcement when executed. Mr. DeArmit is strongly enlisted in its favor. If the other principal operators give it as hearty support as it is expected they will, it cannot fail. It will be necessary for them to make a few changes to conform it to present ooditions. Then a canvass of signa tures can be begun. With united action a tew days should suffice for this. This done, a settlement of the strike is within easy range.
