Loses Heavily Rather Than Give an
Eight-Hour Day.
Phoenix. Ariz.. Aug. 19.-United
States senator Clark has shut down
the United Verde copper mine which
brings revenue of $12.OOO.OOO yearly
because he refuses to grant his min
ers' demands for an eight hour day.
AS he pithily put it: 81 would rather
let the grass grow in the streets of
Jerome than grant my men an eight
hour day."
Those who know Senator Clark
know he will adhere to his resolution.
He has studied the elght-hour move
ment and he does not believe it
should prevail in coal or copper mines.
He is losing million dollars a month
by the lockout of his miners, but he
will keep the mine closed for a year
rather than surrender.

After producing nearly $2O,OOO,0OC
in gold, the working of the Drumlum.
mon mine below the 40O-foot tunnei
level will be abandoned and the great
pumps that have kept the under
ground works free from water will be

bringing in monthly revenue of
about $4,000, will be closed down as

Many miners are leaving Marysville
The Drumlummon mine is pretty well
worked out. The Montana Mining
company is looking for properties else
where, and has already shipped 80
stamps of the big mill to Idaho.
For several years the levels from
the 1000 to the 1,60O-foot level have
been producing almost nothing. Elk
tensive prospect work was done on
the lower levels without results and
the pumps have been maintained at
the bottom or the mine by the man.
agement in the hopes that values
might be found.
Inc company at meeting of the
directors held in London recently de-
cided to take out the pumps and use
the money that it has cost in the past
to operate the mine in development
work on the upper levels and in other
properties which the company now
has under bond. 1t is quite probable
however, that the mine may not fill
up above the 7OO-foot level, as a
number of water channels which
would ordinarily fill the mine have
been tapped in other workings, drain
ing much of the water of.
The Drumlummon mine is one Of
the most famous mines in America.
1t has more than 25 miles on under
ground workings and the machinery,
pumps and development work repre-
sent an investment of millions of dol
lars. The mine was first discovered
by Col. Thomas Cruise of Helena, who
sold it TO the Montana Mining COM
pany. an English syndicate. The
mine has paid handsome dividends to
its stockholders and has made num-
ber of Montana people rich.
The fact that work is to be aban-
doned except for prospect work does
not indicate that the Montana Min
ing company intends leaving the state.
There are several promising prospects
in the vicinity of Marysville and the
company has interests elsewhere in
Montana, as we'll as in Idaho, where q
portion of its plant has already been
shipped.
The company is thoroughly pres
pecting the ground in the vicinity OF
| Marysville. Last month fractional
claim on Sawmill gulch belonging to
Jerry Sires was bonded for the pur
pose of securing a tunnel site through
which to develop the Tucker claim
which the Montana Mining company
also has under bond. In Trinity
gulch the company has also another
force of men at work developing q
group of claims.

ing in the city to have charge of the
wesa in their school and to direct the
eachers, not doing any teaching
themselves, says the Record.
The advisability of hiring principals
With a view to raising the standard of
he schools has been talked of by
he board, but question was raised
rs to its power, and w. G. bailey, vice
president of the board, requested Mr.
Mcconnell to render an opinion on the
point.
Mr.. Mcconnell holds that the board
only empowered to hire teachers
md janitOrs and, as the supervising
principals are to do no teaching, they
will not come under the head of teach
ers. Therefore the board has not au-
thOrity to hire them, and as there is
no section in the law permitting the
expenditure of money for that pur-
pose, the members of the board would
be liable for any money they spend
for that purpose.
Mr.. Mcconnell says that the board
is empowered to appoint a super
tendent of school, but, aside from this
and teachers, mechanics and laborers,
he board cannot employ any other
persons whatever. The board is eX
pressly prohibited to make unauthor-
lied expenditures. Sections 1918 and
1943 of the political code state tha.
the county school moneys may be
used by the trustees for the various
purposes authorized and provided for
and, if it is paid out by the authority
of the board for any other purpose
not authorized, a suit to recover the
same may be brought by the county
attorney.
There is nothing in the name b.
which you designate the parties" says
the opinion, "but it is the duties and
services they are called upon to per
form. A teacher is person employed
exclusively in teaching pupils and
under the laws of Montana the pupils
must be between the ages of 6 and p
years; consequently you could not
employ supervising principals to in
| struct teachers. The only person
who has authority to instruc: teach
ers is the county superintendent, and
the city superintendent, if such duties
are prescribed by the board of trus-
tees.
"The board of trustees cannot dele.
gate to other persons. such as super
vising principals. the powers which
the statutes have given them. This
Identical matter has been passed up
on by the supreme court of Californis
in the case Of Barry agains: Goad.
Il therefore advise y0u that you
have not power to employ supervising
principals and that. II you do SO, you
lay yourselves liable to the penalty
prescribed by sections 1918 and 1874:
Of the political CODE"
