The prospects for labor at the
head of the lakes for the next
few months is fairly good. With
the opening of navigation con-
siderable work around the docks,
mills, elevators and warehouses
presents itself and it gives a
great many men, who are will
ing, an opportunity to again
get employment at, generally,
reasonable wages. There is con-
siderable building going on and
under contemplation and the
outlook for the wage-earner is
not bad. But there are lots Of
men already in the city to do the
work, besides there are many
others arriving every day in
hopes that they may secure even
a temporary job.

Labor saving machinery is
used, as it's name indicates, to
reduce the cost of production;
it reduces the amount of hu-
man labor necessary to pro-
duce useful things. This re-
duction of necessary hours of
labor ought to benefit the labor
ing class in every way; by in
creasing their wealth, as well
as their opportunities of leis-
ure. But it certainly has not

The laws of the land are no
longer enacted with a view of
the most good to the greatest
number of people, but they are
made with the sole object of en-
riching the Golfers of a favored
few, who manipulate congress,
debauch municipalgovernments
bribe electors, and reign with an.
iron hand of chicanery and fraud,
over the wishes of the common
people. If there is a God in
Israel, this condition cannot 60
on forever. Already the worm
begins to coil, and when the
people, the masses that are be-
ing oppressed awake to a true
realization of the conditions that
exist and it's cause, anarchy and
riot will stalk through this pros
porous land until wrongs will be
righted, the courts and judiciary
will be purified, and the mono
polist, the gold-bug and the
shiny capitalistic robber will
sink into an oblivion deeper and
darker than hell itself, there to
remain till the crack of doom.

We counted thirty-three men
watching about a dozen others
who had just commenced work
on an excavation for building
on Superior street one morning
last week. All these onlookers
were DESTROYS of being employed;
they have wives and children
who need the many things that
the product of their labor would
secure. The places were filled
and they had nothing to do but
put their hands in their pockets
and go about the streets in
search of another place where
possibly they might secure a few
days work that their families
might be fed and clothed. Surely
we can imagine no more dis
couraging thing than a man
without work and his family in
need of the comforts of life.
What will ever bring about a
change where we may all be put
on something like an equal foot
ing. Some people reveling in all
kinds of luxury, while others 90
about the streets hungry, was
not as the Lord has designed
things should be.

Have you, workingmen, given
any thought to the Loud postal
bill, or H. r. 1866, before con-
gress to raise the price of post
age on second-class matter
from one cent to eight? Very
inoffensive sort of a bill isn't
it? What effect will it have
upon the working classes?
Have you thought? It is one
of the most infamous bills ever
presented before congress. 1t
is for the purpose of wiping
out the cheap reform literature
that is increasing every day.
The reading matter that is
awakening the people to the
infamous oppression; to this
contemplate, slave making
private system. The hounds
and their hirelings in congress
are aware of the great good it
is doing and are becoming
alarmed at the consequence.
If the people once realize to
what an extent they have been
duped and robbed these dealers
in human life will receive no
mercy at the hands of the pop
ulace, and the Shylocks knowit.
And in order to still keep the
people in ignorance this bill
has been introduced. Men and
women, educate and agitate
while you can! Spread the re-
form literature while you may,
time is short, very short!

Then, and not until then, will
white winged peace hover over
this land, and justice will be
meeted out to the rich and poor
alike. Then hunger and poverty
will be unknown; the honest
laborer will receive his just de-
serts.

Neal Mining District.

One of the best gold mining districts
in Idaho and one concerning which but
little has been said in the papers of
that state, is Neal district, located
about eighteen miles southeast of
Boise. This, from all accounts, is a
most wonderful district, considering
the amount of development done, as
already the camp is a heavy shipper of
rich gold ore, and new and valuable
finds there are of frequent occurrence.
In speaking of Neal district we'll

only district he ever saw where every
piece of quartz was pay ore.
William Orr the cyanide expert who
represents the McArthur-Forrest com

this city, has recently inspected this
camp, and in making mention of the
fact the Boise Statesman says:
William Orr has returned from an
inspection of the Neal district, where
he secured a number Of samples of ore
that will be sent to Denver to be tested
as to the best method of treatment
Mr. Orr says the Neal district is the

will go by way of Salubria, Warrens

investigation of the Rapid River coun-
try, where he has learned, through his
company, that a 40-stanp mill is soon
to be erected.

G. II. Robinson, John 7. Hayes, w.
j. Craig and John Hupfer have taken
an eighteen months lease and bond
on the Bowers No lode, owned by
Fred Matthews This property is the
first north extension of the old Joe
Bowers lode, one of the most famous of
our old-time producers of the south
end. The leasers have already a good
force at work and are reported to be
making a very favorable showing.
The South Swansea is fast going to
the front as one of the reliable bonanza
producers of Tintic, and the rapid adj
vance in the market price of the stock
is a certain indication. that its worth
is becoming known and appreciated.
AS an example illustrating the high
grade of it's ore, we can state that its
last weeks output, amounting to 173
tons, was marketed in Salt Lake Tues
day, and netted the handsome price of
S34 40 per ton The South Swansea is a
big winner.
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows:
From the Bullion-Beck mine, 80 car
loads ore; from the Observation-Disclosures,
10 carloads ore; from the Hamburg,
carloads ore; from the Ajax, 10 carloads

large increase in the working force,
and upward of forty people are now
employed by the company. To accom-
modate these quite a number of new
houses have been built, and the vicinity
of the mill presents a lively appear
ance. The mill is now working up TO
its full capacity of 100 tons daily, and
the results are excellent. The mine IS
showing up better daily as develop
ment progresses, and promises almost
limitless quantities of ore. Work is
being done on various parts OF the
property and from indications new ore
bodies will be the result. Unless the
unexpected happens, the Sacramento
will be a steady dividend payer hence
forth for years to come.
Contractor Teller of the Song Bird
has been timbering the 100-foot shaft
this week, and it will be pushed down
to the ore as rapidly as possible 1t is
anticipated that a depth of over 800
feet will be necessary to penetrate the
ore zone.
c. H. Alkira of the Bismarck company
reports that work will be continued on
this property all winter, and that the
vein is regular and strong. He did not
care to name the values obtained, but
said they We're satisfactory to the

The Wonder shaft has now gone
through over thirty feet of the lime
under which the ore was found in the
east shaft of the Golden Gate, where
the lime was forty feet in thickness.

With these considerations in sight, it
goes without saying that the special

porting on the granting of the desired
permission was referred will lose no
time in making a favorable report. In
