A Sweet Lot Of Miners.

A ne-owner at Prospect Mount
ain, New, is sad to have several
miners at work in one of his mines,
which he pays at the rate of 50 per
week for seven days work. 1t is an
understanding between the employer
and employed, that the latter must
board at a boarding house in which
their boss is n part owner. For their
board these men pay IS per week.
Now, if man works the whole Of
the week he gets 81. If he loses one
day he is entitled to $7.75, so that he
goes in debt to his employer 25 cents
for board. Some of the men lose
several days on each month, and at
the first of every month a statement
is handed to them, showing how much
they owe the company. 1t is con
fidently expected that ore will be
found in the mine before the men ge,
ont of debt.
The story is hardly credible, be-
cause 81 is the ruling rate of wages
in Nevada. At any rate, and wheth-
er it be true or not. it would be ex,
Gee iingly unhealthy for that mine
owner, if he were to come here, and

THE HONEST STOCk.RAlSERS.
II They Had Their Deserts. Three.
FourthS Of Them Would BE In the
pcnitentiary.

Sheriff Furey came up from Sho-
shone yesterday, bringing with him
John Baldwin, an alleged horse thief,
who was arrested in Lemhi county,
near the Montans line. He is be-
lieved to be one of a gang who have
been operating in Nevada and Idaho,
the past summer and fall, and whose
depredatlons led to the formation Of
the Nevada Stock Growers Associa-
ton. The particular crime with which
Baldwin is charged is the stealing Of
81 head of horses from Indian Creek
and vicinity, in this county.
Baldwin was found living on a
ranch, with his family, consisting OF
his wife, three children, and her ia.
Their and mother They had some 30
or 40 head Of stock with them, and
seemed to he well.to-do. On the
way in he did not deny that he had
stolen some stock, but said that was
the rule among stock men; and he
added that il three. fuurths Of them
had their deserts they would be In
the Penitentiary.

TIE BAKER MINING HOIST.
4 Strong Recommendation by a Mining
Superintendent who Is Using 1t.

Superintendent who Is Using 1t.
The following letter regarding the
operation OF the "Baker Mining
Hoist" will be of interest to parties
engaging in opening new mines. 1t
is unquestionably machine of great
merit, and is destined to play very
important part in the early stages of
mining development in all parts Of
the country.
Stoddard, Yavapai Co., Ariz., !
October 10th, 1853.
Messrs Rankin, Brayton & Co.
Gentlemen:
The "Baker Mining Hoist which
we purchased of you some months ago
does all you claim for it in most sat
isfac .ory manner. In sinking shaft
we are hosting from % to 80 tons Of
rock per day of "a hours, from depth
of about 200 feet, and when we com
mence drifting, shall double the
amount.
The machine is strongly geared and
works more easily and rapidly than
any we have ever seen. 1t has also
the advantage of great permanence
and durability, as we'll as having safe
ty appliances that afford perfect secu-
rity from accident. Our foreman,
who has had sixteen years of mining
experience, says it is without exception
the best Horse Power Hoist in use.
Wishing you the success the ma
chine merits,
| am Respectfully Yours,
Benton II. Wilson,
Superintendent.

TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A WEEK.
That Will be the Price Of the 'Daily
Times" Delivered by Carrier-The
"Weekly Times' 50 Per Year.

Times" Delivered by Carrier-The
"weekly Times" 50 Per Year.
On and after Monday, the 3lst in
slant, the DAILY TIMES will be de-
livered BY carrier, in Haley, Bullion,
ketchum, or Bellevue, for 25 cents
per week. Or it will be sent by
mail, postpaid, for $40 per year, IS
per half-year, and $3.50 per quarter.
year.
This iSa reduction of one-half in
the price heretofore charged by the
DAILY TINES. This reduction has
long been in contemplation, and the
coming Of spring was only awaited to
carry it into effect. We have not
been compelled to this step by any
falling off in patronage, because, not
outstanding the dizziness of the past
winter, our subscribers have stood bv
us nobly, and the great majority OF
them have paid their subscription
promptly and with the utmost cheer
fulness. But the price heretofore
charged-.s26 per year-while not too
high when the DAILY TINES was
founded, is manifestly so now that
the country is opening up so salts
factorily as to point inevitably to a
heavy influx of population at an early
day.
We have been proud of the DAILY
T1MEs-proud of the high price paid
for it, and proud of the popularity
which enabled it to make successful
stand and to retain a prosperous bus
mess despite Of the opposition of Off
cial, secular, and covert or avowed en-
em;es; and we have always endeavored
to give the people of Haley and
Wood River as good local paper as
was possible in a community of this
size. We shall continue to do so, not
withstanding the reduction in price.
The city route of the DAILY TIMES
is owned by Joseph Dubrule, the car
rier, to whom all payments for papers
delivered by him should be made
promptly, every Monday. Twenty
FIVE cents is low price for daily
paper in a mining community, the
margin of profit is small at the price,
and the carrier who is compelled to
pay for his paper every week, cannot
afford to deliver any unless the
pay therefor is prompt and regular.
According to the new arrangement
with Mr.. Dubrule, the free list is pos
itively and permanently abolished, and
even the copy left at the publishers
residence will be paid for, the same as
every other copy delivered by the car
riers.
Persons desiring the DAILY TINES
left at their residence, in either Ketch-
UNI, Bellevue, Bullion or HALEY, can
transmit their order by telephone, free
Of charge, or call at or send it to the
office.
The price of the WEEKLY TINES
will remain at So per year, 81 so per
six months-at which it has stood for
nearly two years.

We published few weeks ago the declalit-
ton Of a Western free trader that the working
men of this country are too well paid now,
and that their wages should be cut down to the
rates paid in Europe. That is the real spirit of
the tree traders. although for obvious reasons
they are chary of 20 expressing themselves.
But the other day III Washington a similar
declaration was made by free trade advocate
before the Ways and Means Committee. This
was Theodore w. Morris. an importer of win
dow glass, who said that he came representing
the glass importers to commend the Morrison
bill. Mr.. Morris declared that there was no
sense in keeping up the tariff in order to keep
up what he called the absurd scale of wages in
the United States as compared with other coun-
tries. He declared that the conditions of Ameri-
can labor and prices are due to this obnoX ous
special legislation in favor of American manu-
facturers. This statement aroused Judge KEEL
ley, who drew Il graphic picture of the condi-
tons of labor and living in Great Britain and
Belgium, and then asked Mr.. Morris if he meant
that American workingmen should be reduced
to Il like condition. Mr.. Morris did not care to
reply to this, Kelley then desired him to say
what he regarded as an equitable basis of wages
in the United States, and Morris. evading the
question, declared that, in his Judgment, Ameri-
can wages are altogether too high,

The Brunswick Telegraph publishes a silly
letter from Capt. John Goldman, in which re-
ference is made to statement in he Journ al
that Capt. G. was supposed to be in the pay o
British ship owners. The letter is about on Il
par with the Captains recent 'argument' in
favor of free ships, and hardly calls for serious
notice. The editor of the journal is invited to
visit Washington, and as an inducement is
offered a reward for the discovery of evidence
that there are paid British agents in that city.
The money could be easily earned as there is
no question but that more than one British
interest is represented there by paid agents
to-day, and this has been the case for years
past. We notice that Capt. Goldman in writing
to Maine paper takes occasion to commend
Mr.. Dingey's bill, which is generally approved
of in this state and section, and does not ride
his free ship hobby.

After all. we have much to be thankful for in
Maine. Our winters are long and often severe
but we are not visited by earthquakes, Hood, or
cyclones. and on the whole our people realize
fully the average of comfort and security of
life and property. While the papers were filled
with accounts of the floods in the Ohio valley,
by which thousands We're rendered homeless,
news came of cyclones causing great destruc-
ton of life and property in Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. North of At

fully one hundred We're killed in North Carolina
and Alabama; while large number were more

ed clean except the feathers on their heads: the
largest trees were uprooted and smaller ones
had all the bark stripped from their trunks. In
North Carolina the storm was accompanied by
hail, and in Virginia it was attended by heavy
rainfall, causing freshets in many of the streams
