WILLIAMSBURG, Colo, July 14.-Every-
thing is quiet here, nothing doing owing
to washouts on the Arkansas, between
here and Pueblo. It's near month
since there has been anything done, and
from indications it will be some time
before there is anything, as they do not
seem to be in any hurry about repairing
the track. There was notice stuck up
here for the Canon City Coal company's
mines, Rockvale No. and for Is cents
per ton reductio to take effect July l.
and there has been nothing done about il
any farther than sending a committee to
see Superintendent Allen. l do not
know what will be done as the commit
tee have not seen him yet, he has not
been here, so they have not argued their
point. I presume they are trying to
starye the men out before they fix the
track, thinking they will be ready to go
to work when it is fixed. If that is the
case / think it will be a broken reed they
are depending on, as the men, are fully
posted on that point. 49,
There has been an ably of the
Knights of Labor lately organized here
and the men are coming in fast, by the
tens and twenties and the Indications
are they will all be within the fold in a
short time. ! think they will be ready
for them when they get their track fixed.

D.. A Workingmen's Convention.

Editor Labor Enquirer. ....-. l.. ss.s
DENVER, July l5.-In looking over the
political situation at the present time
from the standpoint Of workingman,
it seems to me and many others with
whom have talked that the organized
workingmen of the country should hold
a national convention during the next
six weeks and adopt suitable platform
and place in the field candidates worthy
of their support. Let each Trades As
sembly, labor union and all other labor
organizations send each a delegate to
place before the people candidates whom
we could all support, as at the present
time neither of the three candidates,
General Butler, Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Geve-
land. are really in any way the candi-
dates of the organized labor element of
the country. IF the choice should fall
upon any of the gentlemen above named
or anyone else, all the organized work.
ingmen of the country would feel bound
to support the candidate. If it seems
best, state conventions could be called
and delegates elected in a very short
time. +. ...E, "a L

idea for consideration through the

a sack Of -four, and to proclaim a strike
in country that will not produce a
blade of grass and can be fayorably COM
pared with the sandy deserts of Arabia,
is downright foolishness. In that coun-
try there is no water, here there is none
either without the Almighty dollar.
Think of few unorganized penniless

millions of organized capital. ~

Popularity of the Typewriter.

Forty feminine manipulators of type
writing machines have been recently
examined by the Civil Service Com
mission and they have just received
notice of a grade to which their prof.
cheney entities them. 1t was the first
examination of the kind and was al
together a curious exhibition. The
exercises were read sentence by sentence
by the examiner, and at each pause the
fingers of forty women and girls would
fly with almost lightning speed over
forty machines. Some who were ac-
customed to write shorthand from
dictation would catch the words while
writing and finish the sentence nearly
as soon as the examiner. This act of
the Civil Service Commission is sugges-
tive of the rapidity with which the type
writer is supersediRg all other forms of
copying. Chiefs of divisions in the
various departments are allowed clerks
who have been usual by stenographers.
Now these are being supplaDted on
every hand by the typewriter and by
the combined stenographer and type
writer Philadelphia Times.

An Important Decision.

The suit of Don Carlos Butterfield
against William II. Henry for 100000
alleged commission for endeavoring to
negotiate the sale of the famous Johnny
Bull copper lode, in San Simon, n. NJ. q,
belonging to Mr.. Henry, ended recently
IN Part 2 Of the Supreme court. The
property has $2,0O0,0 900 worth of ore in
sight, which consists of gold, silver and
copper. After hearing the testimony
(taken by cOmmission) of Butterheld,
Baron Schultz and Captain Price OF
London, on motion of Jerome Buck
counsel for Mr.. Henry, Judge Barrett
dismissed the complaint This is an
important decision, as it was an attempt
to collect a commission OF 800, 900 on
an alleged sale of the property for $500,
900 cash, when the Vender and the
vendee were never brought in contact
and when no money was rendered, or
bond given TO the broker. The property
has attracted the attention of the Lon
don and New York mining exchanges
for several years and the decision has
been awaited with great interest. The
ground upon which Judge Barrett dis
missed the suit was that the plaintiff
had failed to prove that he had pro-
vided customer willing to pay 100000
for the property. Mr.. Price in an atfi-
davit which was submitted yesterday,
stated that he had made no such offer
to the plaintiff New York Mining

Profits on Low Grade Ore:

About coo tons of Glow grade ore is
the average daily production from the
mines on the Comstock and elsewhere
in Storey County, Nevada. OF this.
about 500 tons are daily shipped by the
Virginia 81 Truckee Railroad 10 the
mills on the Carson River. The Union
Mill and Mining Company do nearly all
the crushing. and charge So per ton,
giving a gross income of about 81 800
per day to the mill-owners. The cost
of reduction is estimated to be in the
neighborhood of So per ton, leaving
net profit of say $500 per DAY.
