rapidly filling up with an indus

sustain their rights under the law
and the constitution regardless of
threats and intimidation.

$50 men. Every day groups of
men may be seen vending their
way up Milo gulch with their
blankets on their backs intent on
getting work at one of the mines,

sixty tons of concentrates daily.
The Last Chance has seventy
men at work-all they need. They
are running the mill night and day
and are shipping thirty-fve tons
of concentrates every twenty-four
hours.
