Warrcns Notes.

Peter Malleck, from across Clearwater,
is working some placer ground on So
cesh creek, which washes three cents
a pan.
Brown & Brooks have been working
on the old Rescue mine this summer,
but they have decided to give quartz q
rest for time and they are now fixing
up to work some placer ground on the
rim in the Meadows below town.
S.-A. Wiley has developed 6ne
ledge of rich ore in Warrens and from
all reports has stake in sight. He has
twenty tons of 5000 rock on the dump
which will be crushed this fall. Sim is
good boy and nobody will envy his
good luck.
The Cleveland mining company will
work ten men all winter In developing
that property and getting it in readiness
to operate on an extensive scale when
the mill plant is erected next year. AL.
ton is the coming camp of this county
and territory.
Two or three companies are fixing up
TO work placer ground in the canyon of
Secesh creek, away below the Warrens
trail, and haye some fine prospects to 60
on. We always had a notion that the
gravel on the hillsides in that neigbor-
hood is an old river wash and we be-
lieve, further, that it will be found to be
rich in gold when the channel is once
struck. Mark that.

The first copy of the illustrated week
ly of the Pacific coast has reached our
table, and we must say that it surpasses
all our expectations. No pictorial jour
nal in the world is superior to this ele-
CANT number of the Vest Shore, and the
thought that it is to be weekly visitor
is very pleasant one. The number be-
fore us contains a graphic sketch, in col
ors, entitled Running a Gauntlet Of
Fire in the Cascades" and is a very
striking and artistic picture OF railway
train dashing through forest fire.
There are number of other illustra-
tions and illustrated articles, but by far
the finest picture we have seen in any
journal is the beautiful engraving which
occupies two pages in the center of the
number, with the title of Last Day Of
the Season" In its drawing, grouping
and coloring it is simply superb. II
this is what The West Shore is going to
give us, and we are promised such .
treat every week, we will always look
forward to its coming with pleasant sat-
isfaction. Such an elegant and artistic
journal as this will be in great demand
everywhere, especially with those who
feel an interest in the grand scenery Of
the west and the graphic sketches Of
Pacific coast incidents it will contain.

and Il was observed that nearly all of them
were most interested in the magnificent front
of the main entrance way and in the Eiffel

that the tower proper is 500 feet high and that

The GalIaudet Monument.

One Of the most beautiful pieces of artistic
workmanship, and one which most appropri-
ately fills the niche for which 1t is intended, is
the statue TO be soon unveiled ut Washing
ton, erected to Thomas II. Gallaudet, IL D.
founder of deaf mute education in America.
In the early part Of this century Gallaudet
took an interest in little girl who was a
deaf mute and taught her an alphabet of
signs. In the statue he Is represented teach
ing this child-Alice Cogswell-who is stand
ing by his side.
A convention Of deaf mutes and those in
terested in their education will be held at
Washington at the time Of the unwilling of
the statue The last convention was held in
New York four years ago. At that conven-
ton it was voted to raise a fund for the
statue. Over $4,000 was contributed, and
two years ago contract for its design and
construction was made with Daniel c. French.
Of Concord. The date of unwilling is fixed
for June 26
DR.. GaIlaudet was graduated from the An
dover Theological seminary in 1874, and be-
coming interested in teaching Alice Cogsweu

Each had its separate charter, its separate
officers and its own method Of doing business
each peculiar TO itself, and although all were
working under the same roofs and for the
same firms, for years complete isolation of
one from all the other departments, so far as
trade matters were concerned, was the con-
dition.
Impressed with the necessity for the unfit
cation Of al in one grand union, without re-
gard TO branches in the business, the men,
bers Of the Columbus o. lodge of the Iron
and Steel Roll Hands began the agitation Of
the subject Of the amalgamation Of all the
workers in the iron and steel rolling mills,
and in the fall Of 1878 the three local unions
In the Columbus rolling mills formed a tenn
porary amalgamated association.
During the two years that followed this &C
ton by the men at Columbus several confer
ences were held by representatives from the
various unions in most of the important
cities, and constant effort was made by the
thinking men to secure for the craft gener-
ally what Columbus had effected
While this agitation for better organization
was going on among the men the employers
were taking steps 10 break the influence Of
the Unions, and in April, 1874, the first iron
clad" in that trade was introduced. The
'.i1onclad" was and is & pledge, in writing,
that the retained eInploye or the applicant
for work has severed his connection with the
union and will not again become a member
under penalty of discharge. The manufact-
urers succeeded, In some places, In breasng
up the unions; but this only made the active
men more determined to strengthen and pro-
tect their organization, and the movement
for amelgaulatiop was FASTENED.
On Aug. l, 1916, the three national unions
Of the iron trade met In Pittsburg, in differ
emit halls, with the understanding that they
should wind up their affairs, adjourn sine die,
and then all the delegates assemble in one
convention and there form one organization
of the craft for the United States. This pro-
gramme was carried out, and on Aug. 4, in
what was then known as Emerald hall, 4" on
Sixth avenue, Httsburg, Pa, the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel workers
was formed
The officers elected were: Joseph Bishop,
president and secretary; Edward McGin-
ness, treasurer, and one vice president for

There lives in this country an old negro
preacher who is very lliterate, doesn't know
single letter Of the alphabet, and yet,
strange to relate, he can turn to and read
any passage of Scripture in the book of St
John; and the strangest part Of it all is that
this is the only book in the Bible in which he
can read. We don't know how to account
for this unless it Is that he has memorized the
entire book, and the constant use of one
Testament for possibly two score years has
so imprinted it on his mind that he readily
recognizes the contents of each page He
cannot read in any other Bible except his

The occasion was indeed inspiring. The day
was just hundred years from that on which
the states general met in the same hall--in
what is now known as the Hotel des Meus Plai-
sirs-and on the spot the president unveiled
bronze tablet COMMUNICATING the event. In
the noted Hall of Mirrors, in presence of his
ministers, foreign AMBASSADORS dignitaries
and splendid assembly he reviewed the
events of hundred years.
To those Americans who fancy that prog
reSS Is confined to new countries, the state
ments Of II. Tirard's opening report and
President Carnot's GRAFTON would have come
in the form Of an amazing revelation. 1t is
beyond question that the general condition
Of the French people has improved more in
century than that Of Americans; but this is
because the condition Of the French was so
very bad In 1889, and the revolution is many
times justified by its results The French
cultivators own two-thirds of the soil of
France; three-fourths Of the movable capital
is in the hands of the middle classes; the ave-
rage wealth is almost as great as in America,
and the aggregate IS rapidly increasing in
spite Of such blunders as the Panama canal
scheme. Well might President Carnot con-
clude that this condition is the best Of guar
antees for the permanency of the republic,
for while there is doubt as to many political
maxinls, there is one that is certain-that a
free government can never be maintained
where the masses are desperately poor.
All the reports from Paris admit one great
disappointment: the exhibition is not half

Steady and Solid Growth of the Present
Union-The Conference System" by
Which Wages Are Determined.
The Analgamated Association Of Iron and
Steel Workers viii begin its annual conven-
ton at Pittsburg on Tuesday, June 4. The
nucleus, from which sprung this powerful,
thoroughly disciplined and well regulated
trades union, was formed thirty-one years
ago by a few ironworkers in the city of Pitts
burg There bad been attempts at organiza-
ton In the trade prior to this time, and con-
certed action against reductions of wages had
been taken IN some Of the departments, the
very bitter strike of 1850, which was lost by
the workInen, being noteworthy; but until
the formation of the United Sons of Vulcan"
on April Il, 1858, no really formidable combi-
nation was instituted The ''Sons of Vulcan"
restricted Its membership to puddlers, but its
ideas were broader than any that had pre-
ceded 1t, and after three years OF Indifferent
existence it began In 1861 steady and rapid
growth, which made it, in one year, strong
enough to assert It's power.
In September, 1862, the first National
Forge" was organized at Pittsburg, and
branches were instituted in New York, New
Jersey, hI yId4lo, IeILSy i'dI4Ad W cot VIZ
ginia, Kentucky and Ohio, and employers
were thereafter reminded that where the
wages Of the puddlers were concerned there
was an organization of their employees to be
consulted But the union was not fully rec
ognized by the manufacturers until 1873.
The conference system, through which the
yearly wages scales OF the ironworkers are now
arranged, was first introduced by the ''Sons
of Vulcan" in 1865, when In February of that
year the first regular and thorough scale Of
prices was made. As time passed, strikes and
lockouts were resorted to by both sides to en-
force and resist demands, as the conferences
were not always satisfactory to all employ
ers, and It was not always possible for the
committees themselves TO agree.
