FACING An
INDUSTRIAL CRISIS
MINES OF THE AMALGAMATED COPPER
COMPANY CLOSED DOWN. 100000
MEN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT

August Heinze won his suit
against the Amalgamated Copper
Mining Company at Butte, in the
contest for the Nipper claim, one of
the Anaconda properties. An injunc-
ton was then issued by Judge Clancy
to restrain the Amalgamated com
pany taking ore from the Nirper
VEN.
Immediately after the deciding of
the claim to Heinze, and the issuing
of the injunction, orders we're issued
by the officials Of tie Amalgamated
Company to close down every prop
erty operated by them and discharge
ali OF the employees. Acting under
these instructions every mine at
Butte, the Washoe smelters at Ana
conda, the DiamondviIle, Wyo, coal
mines and big lumber mills at
Hamilton, Mont, were closed down.
BY this action about 20, 600 men are
effected. Every portion of the state
OF Montana will feel the effect of the
shut down, and unless arrangements
are made for resumption of work,
The outlook for the laboring people
OF Montana, is gloomy one.
1t is stated that the injunction
does~not contemplate shut down by
the company, but it is move by the
Amslgamated Company to break
down the Western Federation of
miners.
The miners union, of Butte, backed
by offers of assistance from Senator
w. A. Clark and Andrew J. Davis.
have made proposition to certain
stockholders to buy their shares In
order that the mines may be started
up. Whether this offer will be ac-
cepted remains to be seen, but from
present indications the outlook for
settlement is not bright one.

unexpected move was made in the

A Remedy for ssa.loknssn.

II has been observed that the un

sea. The same sensation is felt IN an
elevator as II starts on It's downward

this trouble is recommended By o.
Dornbluth: Just as the vessel sinks

Intellect and Hair.

From the color OF a mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to
his intellectual ability, says a profes.
sor OF the University OF Lille, who has
for some months been closely studying
the subject. Schoolboys with chest.
nut hair, he maintains. are likely to
be more clever than any others. and
will generally be found at the head of
the class. and In like manner girls
with fair hair are likely to be far
more studious and bright than girls
with dark hair In mathematics and
recitation these boys and girls, he
claims, specially excel. On the other
hand, he says that boys and girls with
brown hair are most likely to attain
distinction through their individuality
and style, and that those with red or
auburn hair do not often excel In any
respect.
