# the scientific world evidence Of the contem-

LONDON, England, September ~ -
The monthly report Of the labor de-
partment OF tha government board OF
trade is even more favorable than that
of June and July, both Of which were
IN the nature of surprise to the COM
mercial world. The number of unem-
ployed trade uuionists during August
was but per cent. against ~ per
cent. for the corresponding period of
last year. Or sixty-lhree old and new
labor disputes involving 10000 work
people. thirty four affecting 1900
persons, terminated in an advance OF
wages; nineteen we're compromised to
the satisfaction of the workers. Nearly
5000 mechanics In the Leeds engineer
ing trades have secured without strike
considerable advance Of wages. The
funds of the trades unions also appear
to be In decidedly healthy condition.
AS an example, the report Of the united
society of boilermakers and IRON ship
builders issued this week shows a sur
plus on hand, in the fund used to sup
port unemployed members and pro-
vide for labor troubles Of no less than
$3.50, 900.

We wish to state to the good people of
Las Vegas and vicinity, that the means to
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for, but we are without means to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold fair during Thanksgiving
week, to raise funds with which to furnish
the building. We are dependent on the
generosity Of the public to accomplish this
purpose; and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist US. This is public institu-
tion by which all will be benefited, and in
which all should feel an interest.
