ADeIicate Position.

In the course OF an editors life he, il
The people have any confidence in him,
often comes into the possession OF know
edge which il made public and the names
of the parties interested given would
soon create great deal OF unpleasant
munity although it may be proper for
the good OF the whole community that
the affair should be brought to light,
even if names and places are not men
toned, in the columns OF the paper so
that the persons complained OF may see
their actions are known outside OF the
people being imposed upon and seeing
that, may in future deslst from the prac-
tice complained Of.
With the above introduction the NEWS
may state that some OF the employees
aOf certain mines not more than one hun
dred miles distant from this Office say
than the miners are often cheated by the
Whining captains in their measurement of
ground and in consequence when a man
is expecting good pay he finds there is
"a mistake" in the measurement, at least
according to the captains statement,
and the man instead OF receiving up
wards OF a $780, his pay is brought
down to $50 or whereabouts. Fortu-
nately at most OF the mines this is not
the custom for there the men get what
they earn, be it little or much, which OF
course is the proper course to pursue.
As the News understands the matter
when contract il let, it is calculated
Judging from the ground in sight, that
the men will be able to average by work
ing steadily certain sum per month, II
tie ground turns out different to that
expected the amount earned may be con-
'siderably less or more than was eeti-
mated when the contract was set. II it
ia less all well and good, the poor miner
has to stand it, but WIDEN it is very much
more, a captain has, it is claimed, been
known to say "a mistake" was made in
the measurement and so bring down the
miners pay to something like the figure
estimated when the contract was set.
IL may be said that such matters are
not the proper things 70 be written
about in newspapers, particularly when
the men most interested are afraid, that
IS the proper word, 20 themselves make
The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1897-07-03

an open complaint. the reason Tor which
ia OBVIOUS, and the editor has really to
obtain his Information at second hand.
The NEWS has used all discretion possi-
bic in this matter before abiding TO IL
publicly and although the editor has not
been informed by the party most inter-
ested, he has il upon what he considers
sufficient authority to speak after, that
at one OF the mines in the copper country
a miner who was given the dimensions
OF his ground by the captain figured up
what his pay would be. Those who
should know, at least were in "A position
TO do SO, claim the measurements were
correct, but few days after lit is pre-
sumed by the men the captain had tg
ured up the ground in the meantime and
found the men would get in his opinion
too big pay the captain returned and
saying there had been mistake, reduced
the figures of the measurements and the
men : pay accordingly.
OF course the editor is not in aposition
TO vouch for the truth OF this particular
case and certainly would not allude to it,
but from all the information obtainable
the miners appear to consider it an open
secret that such practices are in existence
and not inlrequent either and the NEWS
after very considerable thought on the
subject has decided in the interest OF
fairness to mention what il has heard In
the hope that il the custom OF making
mistakes" does exist at any oil the
mines in this neighborhood the captains
will refrain from making such In the
future: for it ssuch practices as the ethat
cause the chasm which unfortunately
exists in many places fortunately not to
any extent here, between capital and
labor which, as the NEWS sees it, is the
duty OF all good citizens to help bridge
over instead OF widen and henceits action
in this delicate matter.
Some of our readers may exclaim az
our lamented friend, Capt. John Daniel
once did, "Why don't you inform the
captain yourself Of these accusations
Our answer TO them would be the same
as it was to Capt Daniel and that was
"why the captain approached would more
likely tell III to mind our own business"
We believe in talking to Captain Daniel
weused little stronger language and that
the captain approached would thereafter
consider the editor his pei sonal enemy,
whereas he would only be carrying out
his duty as he saw it
and it is under thi. conviction OF duty
this article is penned and for no other
reason.

In the standing committee, Of the
house, as named by Speaker Reed, Or
egon gets very little recognition.
This state has no important chair
nanship, indeed none worth mention
ing, and no place at all on the Rivers
and Harbors committee. No Pacific
coast state has place on that impor-
tant committee, and all the appro-
priations for the improvement of the
Willamette river must come through
the senate.
The Silver Republicans, Shafroth, of
Colorado; Newlands, Of NeYada, and
Hartman, of Montana, who supported
Bryan, get good places.
A corporation lawyer and breeder of
trotting horses, Hon. Thomas II.
Tongue, of Oregon, has place on the
committee on agriculture. Ellis, of
Oregon, gets second place on Public
Lands. The gold organs defeated
Binger Hermann for congress because
as they alleged they wanted a man
who could do som ething to open up
heWillamette. Congressman Tongue,
of Western Oregon, has very little ac-
quaintance in the East, and 1T is not
his fault that he has not place on
the committee, on which Oregon was
so well represented by Mr. Hermann.
1t is barely possible that the job of
lobbying for big appropriations was
overworked for Oregon and Speaker
Reed decided to leave too industri-
Gus community in position where its
representatives could do the least
harm.

What Is the highest duty of than
of Woman? civilization? Gentlehessl
kindness, good fellowship. To develop
ones talents to the dtm6st; to make
the most of ones self, is most sacred
duty. Observations and study Of sue
cessful men and woIien around us will
lead to progress in our own develope-
ment. The world has progressed to
the point where it is not necessary to
argue the advantages of sobriety and
chastity. The sanitary benefits of an
even temper are, however, not yet
fully appreciated. Self-contrOl, or
tanning our tempers out of existence,
is the highest duty we can think of,
next to virtue in general. We would
rather live with an untruthful person
than an ill-tempered one. We should
rank next to a perfectly controlled
temper, the daily bath, There is prob
ably no higher evidence of civilization
on the part of an individual than per-
sonal cleanliness.

Baker County Gold.

From the Baker City Democrat:
At the request of the director of
the mint at San Francisco, j. Il.
Donnelly, cashier of the first national
bank, has collected all the informa-
tion obtainable regarding Baker
county's gold output for 1895, His
inquiry shows that $S70.654 is the
amount. This is gain of over 100
per cent on the governments report
for 1894, and the sum named only in
cludes the gold shipped through the
express company, the postolflce and
the returns made from the Tacoma
and Everett smelters to the Eureka
ana Excelsior, the Baisley, Elkhorn,
the Columbia, the Rock Creek and
the Robbins. .Elkhorn mines. A large
number of Baker county mine owners
find 1t convenient to forward their
bullion or gold to Boise City and
large proportion of the Chinese take
the proceeds Of their summers work,
all placer mining direct to San Franz
cisco, Owing to these facts, Helena,
Mont, Boise City, Ida, and San
Francisco, California, are credited
up with a large share Of the gold pre-
duction which properly belongs to
this state. Taking all the conditions
into consideration, the most conser-
vative estimate made would give
Baker county 800, 100000 for 1895. New
properties are being opened up and
operated in all sections of this county,
carloads Of machinery are being
shipped in and eastern capital is being
freely invested. Under the circum-
stances, it is not extravagant to as
sumo that the end of 1896 will show
a net increase of at least 100 per cent
for the gold output Of sBaker county.
