WAGES PAID In BROCKTON
SCALE OF WAGES TO SHOEMAK-
Frs HI0HER THAN ELSEWHERE.
Report Of the Committee on Statistics Appoln'
ted to Investigate the Matter.

Brockton, Mass, June 16.-At In,
meeting of the board Of trade last nigh
the committee on statistics appointed
to ascertain the conditions under which
shoes are manufactured In other cities
submitted Its report.
The committee ind that In almost al
departments OF shoe manufacture the
wages paid In Brockton are much higher
than anywhere else. In the manufac-
ture OF a medium grade Mckay shoe,
the price In Maine cities of New Eng
land averages 80 cents, while $1.l6 Is
paid In this city. In q medium Good
year welt shoe. $3.50 IL paid In Maine.
while 32.64 is paid here.
The committee also find that Brockton
shoe factories are not kept as busy a.
those In other cities. and for that reason
many workers have gone where they
could obtain more steady work, even
though the wages might be lower.
A readjustment Of wages is argued by
the committee to meet the conditions In
other cities. The committee find that
the shoe manufacturers OF Brockton,
while not opposed to labor organizations,
are nevertheless unwilling to deal with
unions.
In conclusion. the committee say that
the shoe workers OF the city should seri
ously consider the question of lower
wages In order to adapt themselves to
present condition of trade.

STUMBLED on A FORTUNE.
And Gambler lin Warren Of Idaho Played !
All Alone.
From the Denver Republican,

tfrom the Denver Republican,
An old prospector tells story of the
first days of mining in Idaho which
sounds like a romance. but which he
Vouches for as being strictly true. and
which agrees with the story frequently
told by the late Judge Craig of Douglass
staked off the first claims in Idaho 1.-The
first find of placer gold in Idaho" said
the old pioneer. was made early in 1862
by Jim Warren. prospector, who put in
the time when not engaged in the field
in patronizing the gaming table. A little
CAMP had been established at Florence
but the diggings were poor and there
was so little to be made that the men
drlfted away in little squads to find bet
ter pay. Warren and four others started
out together, but soon afterward dis
agreement arose. and Warren left the
party to go 1t alone. After two or three
stream now known as Warren creek and
there being fair indications. the next day
was spent in prospecting.
RAINING seven pans of dirt he saved
the proceeds, and. taking samples of the
quartz. went back to Florence. where the
gold was weighed and found to be worth
20 cents. or 10 cents to the pan. This was
not big thing for those days, but it led
to the expectation of better strikes. and
an expedition of 16 men was organized to
investigate the new find.
On their way to Warren creek they
came across Warren's four companions
from whom he had parted several DAYS
previously. They were 'tin-horns' and
poor prOspectors and had been unsuccess-
full. Seeing Warren with the crowd. they
concluded that he had made "A strike and
followed him. Warren and his friends
not caring to share the discovery with
the four men. resOrted to a ruse to throw
them off the scent. and spent several
days on Secesh creek so.called from the
war of secession which had then been re-
Gently heard of. The four gamblers, be-
ing nearly out of provisions, were frozen
out and compelled to return to Florence
The expedition then FASTENED to Warren
creek and staked out the Warren
Meadows for themselves and their
friends. Eight men were sent back TO
Florence for provisions, the rest remain
ing to work the claims. While the eight
men were gone some of those who re-
manned discovered better diggings at
Summit fiat, obtaining from 50 to s4 to the
pan.
"The claims at Warren Meadows were
abandoned and new claims staked out on
the new field. When the men returned
from Florence with the provisions they
were followed by about 600 miners. who
suspected that rich dirt had been found
and swarmed along Warren creek and its
tributaries, making rich finds everywhere.
The original locators were extremely for

men. named Besse and Osgood, worked
together and rocked out 100 ounces the

yesterday. that she had been in attend

she went there as much to see the people

1.-The honesty of the miners in those
pioneer days was illustrated by an Incl
dent which occurred during this STAN
pede from Florence. In the crowd of go
that followed the eight men sent to Flor

named Bosom of a thrifty turn VINO
bought two barrels of whisl1cy and

was turned over to Vandeventer who set
the barrels on end under tree took out
the heads, hung q tin dipper the side
of each barrel. fixed a contribution box
against a tree. with q slot in the closed
lid. and went on with the crowd, leaving
the improvised saloon to take care Of
itself. The miners passing to and fro
would take a drink, drop a contribution
into the box and pass on. Sometimes sew

sort to the buckskin. but i'm the end the
drinks were well paid FOR. nuggets worth

for single drink. Strange as il may
seem, there was no excessive indulgence
at the barrels and no one nleddled with
the contribution box. and before the close
OF the season Vans barrels formed one
of the landmarks of the country. Van
deyenter pulled out handsome sum from
his mining claim, and when cold weather
set in. returned to his barrels. built a
cabin and opened q saloon in due form
