Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-05-15
HrcHLAsp.-As variety of rumori

the Highland Oonsoiiua'eu P""J
works, We yesterday sent a reporter to
tho scene of action to ascertain the true
condition Of matters. On his arrival at
the compauys Office, he found number
of man scattered round, perfectly quiet.
Int looking as if they did not intend to
10 ,riaed with. All the works were
stonped and the property was under
,t,acbment, issued in the suit COM
menced by +. W. Clute, merchant of this
town. On interviewing j. N. Williams,
he said that the difficulty was caused by
tbe parties below not providing the funds
nj the time they agreed to do, but
that he thought the matter would
shortly be satisfactorily arranged,
and the work be resumed, as he had
every confidence in the ultimate valne of
the mine. Before our reporter left an
arrangement was effected by which all
the employees of the company were to
receive due bills payable in sixty days,
for the payment of which Mr.. Williams
was to be personally responsible. We are
extremely glad that an amicable settle
ment was reached, for it was very clear
that the men who had been working for
one or two months, without receiving
their wages, were not at all likely to be
mt off without some reasonable security
for the liquidation Of their demands.
Companies who work mines might as
well understand first as last that it is an
expensive business, and one that requires
capital, for men who earn their
living by their daily labor expect
to be and must be paid without any
reference to the returns that are being
derived from the enterprise. Whether
that is profitable or not, it is the business
of the owners, and not those whom they
employ, and companies must not calcu-
late on their employees taking all the risk
when they cannot participate in the
profits. The working mans only capi-
tai is his labor, and when he does his
work faithfully his employers must be
equally punctual in paying his wages.
We are informed that the liabilities of
the company in Phoebe do not exceed
$4,000, about half of which is due to its
late employees. This certainly does not
seem very great sum for large incor-
porated company to provide, and we
trust that ere very long all the financial
endorsements of the Highland Compa-
ny will be adjusted.
JUSTICES CoURT.-The case of Cavan.
augh VS.. Havana Mining Company be-
ing suit for S6S. alleged to be due for
wages, was tried by jury, who failed to
agree, and were discharged. A man
named James Turner was arrested on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly,
but as it was his first offiense he was dis
charged with a severe reprimand from
the Court. James faithfully promised to
be on his good behavior for the future,
and joyfully departed. In suit for
wages alleged to be owing J.. West, re-
covered judgment against - Coffee for
the sum OF S37. being Sl3 less than the
amount sued for.
CHAsaED.-By a notice in our adver-
Using columns, it will be seen that
Messrs. F. l.. Hatch and Warren have
withdrawn from the firm of Glissan,
Bishop & Co. The latter firm will here
after do business under the name and
style Of Glissau & Bishop. The meat
market OF these gentlemen is we'll known
in Phoebe for supplying excellent meat
OF all kinds, and they intend to keep up
Its well earned reputation. Their old
customers can depend upon being as
usual well supplied, and new ones tina,
may favor them with their patronage
Will have no reason to repent doing so
LEAvEs.-W. H. Clarke, late superin.
tendent of the Hermes, leaves to-day TO,
Virginia He goes by way of Hamilton
and Eureka, and will stop at the latte,
place few days to take look at the
mines. He says he would make visit
70 belmont and inspect the mines of thai
locality, but he fears it would be useless
as he hears that there is no admission
except on business. Mr.. Clarke is q
thorough miner, and can give a pretty
suiewa guess when he examines a mine
