GOOD WAGES WISE51.

Capitalists who insist on having
every thing their own way haye been
acquiring little education of late in
dealing with their workmen. If they
could save 25 cents day on every man
they hired, they reasoned that it would
be a small matter to each man but
big saving in the aggregate. They
would count just that much ahead.
Some recent incidents have upset this
apparently reasonable and comfortable
theory.
For instance. after the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company had got rid
of most of its experienced men and put
strangers in their places it began to
suffer from accidents, delays and COM
plants of patrons. 1t also found its
| receipts diminishing.
The other day the Campania came
into port at New York with Lord
Charles Beresford and lot of other
disappointed passengers just too late
to see the Dewey celebration. She
had been delayed by set of green
fireman.
Recently the British merchant
marine was disgraced by repetition
of the Bdrgogne horror under the
British flag. The steamer Scotsman
was wrecked in the Straits of Belle
Isle and number of women perished
through the ruffianism of the coward
lv crew. When soue of the men were
arrested at Mon treal they were found
to be loaded with valuables, stolen
from the women they had left to per-
ish..
In all these cases cheap men came
dear. The cheapest labor in the long
run, is the best, and of course it comes
higher. Experience employers know
this and act on it. They will stand
a good deal before they will let their
tried men go. Machinery is better
cared for, there are fewer accidents
aud more honest work is turned out.

A Box Factory For Salem.

SALEM, Oct 19.-Negotiations have
been completed for the building of a
box factory at Salem. 1t will be built
by private enterprise and will not be
assisted by subsidy. Messrs. Kentz &
Son, the prune growers and curers,
will operate the factory, probably Civ

IT TAKES MONEY 10 NINE

In the good old days of placer min
ing man with pick, pan, shovel and
rocker or single sluice box was
fully equipped to tackle any from
grass roots to bedrock" pay dirt
where water was handy, A few dollars
secured the outfit and with a little
grub and dirt-roofed log cabin the
old time miner was as much at home
in his surroundings as the manager of
heavily capitalized quartz mine is to-
day in his expensive and, in some in
stances, luxuriously furnished apart
ments. But conditions have greatly
changed since the early day mining.
It takes money to carry on any mining
proposition now, says the Western
Mining World.
The first cost of mine, that is
thoroughly developed gold or copper
or lead proposition, is nothing put
mere bagatelle to the expenditures
which necessarily follow to put it upon
a producing basis. A shaft house,
blacksmith shop. engine and boiler
rooms must be built; hoisting and
stationary pumps, machinerya and many
other costly appliances must be pro-
vided, and they will cost money-big
money, so much indeed that poor
man can not think of opening the
property, A combine of capital and
syndicate of capitalists seem to be the
a-days, for it takes money to mine.
Mining has been carried on in Cali
fornia for half century. In that time
the state has produced nearly one bll
lion, five hundred million dollars. The
estimated figures are ST 300, 900, 600, but
no account is taken of gold carried
away by owners in belts, sacks, drafts
and inside pockets. The aggregate
thus taken from the state will easily
bring the total up to the billion and
half mark. Yet Notwithstanding the
enormous quantity of gold California
has thrown into the chances of the
worlds commerce, it is estimated that
the state has 1900 good mining prop
ositions in an undeveloped condition
for want of capital TO work them. 1t il
not that capital is afraid of them, but
because about all the speculatiug
in the state is already employed
and cannot be used in other directions.
Colorado is credited with $1,000 un-
developed mining propositions which
cannot be touched for want of capital,
still no one can thruthfully charge the
monied men of that state with want of
faith in its mines. Their money is
tied up in other mining properties and
the others must remain idle until q
more convenient season. Montana,
Utah. Idaho, Washington and Oregon
each has it's thousands of undeveloped |
mines, for the reason that capital can
not be had to work them. 1t takes a
pretty penny to put the best of mines |
on dividend paying basis and those
pennies are scarce and hard to get
hold of when so many of them are in
vested. already, in good paying
But it goes without
saying that as fast as owners of paying
mines can earn and command "the
price" they lake their chances in other
mining properties. But it takes money
% mine in this day and generation.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
latest intelligence from the seat of war
indicates that fighting of serious
nature has commenced N Natal. De-
tails are very scant at present, but
hostilites were evidently started by the
Free State troops, who advanced from
Tintwa pass and engaged the British
cavalry patrols in lOng-range artil-
lery duel. Firing continued for the
greater part of yesterday, but it is not
known with what results, although it
is admitted there are several casualties
on the British side. Sir george
White has pushed up his supports, and
everything points to big engagement
today.
Ladysmith has fully 5000 troops, and
at Glencoe, on the other flank of the
British defensive line, there are 1000.
The very risky and daring movement
of the Beers is directed toward this
line, two columns advancing against
Ladysmith, General Joubert directing |
the forces in the neighborhood of Dun

at both places, it will I

ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION

Surveying n Number Of Lines In
Oklahoma.
The Rock Island is preparing to make
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. A
large force of men are now at work sur
veyIng the lines and it is thought the
construction work will be commenced in
a short time.
A line has been surveyed from Anadar-
ko TO Fort Sill and It is expected that
the road will be eventually extended to
connect with the Texas and Pacific at a
point near Sweetwater or Big Springs.
The extension to Fort Sill alone will be
valuable one as there is an immense
amount Of bushes transacted at that point
on account of the location Of a large
United States army post.
A force of surveyors is now at work
on a line extending east from Enid, men
ton of which was made in the Eagle
some days ago. It is intended that the
line will tap Pawnee and Pawhuska in
the Cherokee nation and 1t will in all
probability then be extended into the zinc
and lead mining district around. Galena
and Pittsburg, and 1t is said. may event
ually be extended to Kansas City, making
a short line to the territory.
One Of the other lines which will be
built will be from Kingfsher to Guthrie.
This VIII be across thirty miles of rich
territory, which at present has no rail-
road. 1t is generally supposed that this
line will then be run from Guthrie to the
mining districts in and around South Nc
