Parties who came in from Mercur
last night state that while everything
is quiet on the surface. there is no
telling what may happen there during
the next twenty-four hours; but there
is a general apprehension that the
miners will not accept of anything less
than the regular ten hours pay for
eight hours work.
Saturday there was a walk-out at
the Geyser mine, and although there
are a few men at work there now, pos
sibly on account of a breakage in the
Geyser mill, it is the understanding
that union men will not return to
work unless regular wages are paid.
At the Marion the men have been
notified that 80 cents an hour will be
paid and the men can work as long as
they please, eight hours to constitute
a days work, and what extra time
that is put in to be charged as over
time.
Yesterday morning Superintendent
Treweek, of the Mercur mine, posted a
notice at the mine that beginning to-
day the company would pay the regu-
lar wages, $3.50, for eight-hour shifts
There is much dissatisfaction among
the men, however, over the fact that
single men are compelled to board at
the company's boarding house. They
complain that the table is poor and
kick because the company is making
Is cents day on each Of its boarders.
The boarding house matter will in all
probability cause considerable dissen-
ton until an amicable agreement can
be arrived at between the men and the
company.
All the miners of the camp, both
union and non-union. will meet to-
night to discuss and consider the stu
alton, when committees will be ap-
pointed to meet mine owners and arbi-
trate any differences that may arise be-
tween them.
1t is to be hoped that the feeling of
fairness may ectuate all parties con-
eerned. and that this critical period
may pass without any conflict of any
character between the mine owner
and the miners.
Below we publish the eight-hour law
as passed by the legiSla ture and signed
by the governor.
The law is as follows:
Section l. The period of employment
for workingmen in all underground
mines or workings shall be eight hours
per Qdy, except III cases Oh emergency ,
where life or property is in imminent
danger.
Sec. 2. The period of employment of
workngmen in smelters and all other
institutions for the reduction or ref1n-
ing Of ores or metals shall be eight
hours per day, except in case OF
emergency. where life and property is
in danger.
Sec 3. Any person, body corporate.
H.
violate any Of the provisions of sec
tions 1 and of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
Approved March 80, 1886.

Extraordinary Tenn city of n Grip
pied Convict i'm the Indiana Peni-
Tertiary.

AT the northern Indiana prison recent
ly an incident occurred which shows with
what tenacity man can hold a secret,
although the revealing of it would in
volVe no living SOUL not even himself
and ,weuld open the doors of liberty
him for life.
William Green, a hunchback. some
twelve years ago, shot and killed one
Enos Brumbaugh in a fight over a re-
mark made by Brumbaugl: concerning
Green's deformfty. Green made his
escape, and although diligent search was
made, could not be found. Several years
later Green's brother. Amer abducted
and murdered pretty LuelIa Mabbett. tho
daughter of well to do parents, residing
near the Green homestead, in Cass coun-
~, for the supposed reason that she
knew the whereabout of Bill Green The
body of the girl has never been found,
but parts of her clothing were found in a
creek several miles across the county
line from her home. Amer also escaped
and was lost track of. Three years later
the brothers were located in Texas work
ing on g. cattle ranch, Bill in the capa-
city of cook and Amer as cowboy. The
deputy sheriff of CaSS county, who had
traced them. secured the services of a
Texas sheriff, and after narrow escape
of being shot with a rifle in the hands Of
Amer Green, the murderers were cap
tured and brought back to the scene of
their crimes.
The finding Of Miss Mabbett's clothes i'm
Carroll county gave that county the
jurisdiction of Amer Green, and he was
taken there for trial. While he was IN
the custody of the sheriff and his depu-
| ties they were overpowered by mob,
and Amer Green was taken where the
girls clothing had been found. bound
hand and foot, and with a moose around
his neck ne was placed on a wagon seat
with the white-haired father of the
/ murdered girl before him, begging to
I know the fate of his child, and what he
( had done with her body. The murderer
/ refused to speak, and one of the mob
/ struck the horses which were hitched to
the wagon, and as they lunged forward
Amer Green fell from the seat, breaking
his neck by the fall.
Bill Green was tried and sentenced for
life in the northern Indiana prison. Many
times has the heart-broken old father
begged of the crippled convict to tell him
| the fate of his daughter and the where
I abouts of her body. Even at the death
bed of Green's mother, where he went
from the prison to see her, he refused to
speak, and later, it is said, the father
secured the promise of the jurors who
tried William Green to sign a petition
which, the authorities say, would have
secured his pardon, IL he would tell about
the murder. But Green, with bulldog
4 tenactiy, still holds the secret and pre-
fers iron bars and silence to liberty,
which could almost be had for the ask

Its very scarcity under the single

TREATING ORES.
Colorado Man Who Proposes to Use
Utah Salt Beds.

Mr.. e. r. Holden, of Colorado, sug-
gests a new process for making
chlorine at less than one-tenth of the
present cost by means of bleaching
powder and sulphuric acid. He says
the cost per ton of ore is now so cents,
and by the plan he suggests it can be
reduced to Z cents per ton Of ore. He
proposes to utilize the immense salt
beds in Utah, worth there they say $40
per ton, transport the same to points
in Wyoming and Colorado where there
are water powers unused, use the water
power to generate electricity, (which
has the power of decomposing the
chloride of sodium, or common salt,
from which the chlorine escapes in the
form of common vapor, and is then
condensed into a liquid form, after
which it is ready to be placed directly
in contact with the high or low grade
ores of the states of the west"
Ores to be treated by chlorine must
be free from zinc copper. arsenic, an
timony and lead. He claims to save
one-half the silver in the ore, and in
stances an ore containing Sc gold and
Sc silver, and says that he can recover
S. gold and So silver. Pyrite must be
roasted, but this is now done by the
Pearce turret rooster at from 35 to So
CGIrlS per ION He claims Tor chlOrl-
nation a higher extraction than by
cyaniding, which on ores from SIS and
upwards amounts to large loss, being
the difference between a recovery of
80 to SO per cent and that of so to So
per cent. He practically admits the
superiority of the cyanide process on
very low grade ores, say from Sc to
$40, provided they can be treated with
out roasting, but declares that the
large cyanide works III operation at
Florence on Cripple Greek ores are
putting in roasters and will eventually
roast all their ores. He argues that
the success of the cyanide method in
South Africa argues nothing for the
treatment of American ores, as the
conditions here are different, and are
changing with the depth of the mines.
AS to the cyanide mill at Mercur, Utah,
he claims that a higher extraction
could be secured by chlorination at a
less cost per ton. Mr.. Holden figures
that crushing for the cyanide method
costs 20 cents more per ton than for
chlorination: that here is a difference
of cents per ton in favor of chlorina-
ton, and adding $3.50 difference of ex-
traction, and royalty, so cents per ton,
makes a total difference of 1927 in
favor of chlorination.-Boome

ton in Mining Circles.
A new townsite is being taken up
and laid off at the Line mining dis
trict, says the Iron County Record,
that will be known as Line City. 1t is
situated about two miles east of the
spot selected for Bonanza" in Iron
county. There is quite a feeling exist
ing between the miners residing and
owning claims on opposite sides of the
state line. Those on the Nevada side
are anxious to have the principal town
located on their side of the line and
those on our side of the line are just as
anxious for the welfare of Iron county
and wish to have the principal town
on this side.

part of those who have taken lots in

recently received an official assay of a
sample of quartz taken from their
claim, the Creole, that went 80 ounces
in gold (value $640) and &c ounces in
silver to the ton. Since the above assay
has been made public considerable ex-
element has been prevalent among the
local mining fraternity, and several
have either gone or will soon leave for
the new district
The Record is interested in Iron
county and would like to see the town
in this county the most prosperous,
and is going to do all in its power to
make it so. The Line district is all
right and will yet become one of the
greatest camps in the state.
