Sometimes the patient fingers for sev- spoken Of. death follows in from I2 to IS hours. One physician describes the attack a. quite similar to the symptoms of poisoning by sabidilla, a species of veratrum, the common name ot which is enbane. The poison is extensively used to get rid of yer mine-not only about the house but the more annoying species that some times get on the body and in the hair. It is a poison used quite extensively among MeXicans.
 When ;he eight hour law took affect several mining companies who are operating in southern Arizona called their men together and told them that they could not afford to pay ten hours pay for eight hours work, as they were simply doing development work, but would pay the men eight hours pay for eight hours work and let them work two hours over time at regular wages. This the men agreed to do and now everything is running practically the same as before the law took effect.-TucsOn Post.
