SOME LATE LABOR STATISTICS
As Prepared by United States Labor Com
 missioner Carroll D. Wright.

United States Commissioner of Labor, Carroll D. Wright, has pre- pared some figures that will doubt less surprise those who imagine that they are acquainted with the mag nitude and relative cheapness of the work done by the railroads of the country. The figures show that there are in the United States about 10000 locomotives. To do the work of these locomotives on the existing common roads of the country, and the equivalent of that which has been done upon the railroads the past year, would require, in round numbers, 1OS,OOO,OOO horses and 27,OOO,OOO men.
 It was estimated by a government statistician twenty years ago that an equivalent amount to land trans portation could not be obtained through any other agency than rail- roads for less cost than $11 1,OOO,- OO,OOO, while all the receipts of the railroads were considerably less than $1 ,OOO,OOO,OOO; so that the ag- gregate annual saving effected by railroads, in comparison with other land agencies of transportation, was approximately $1O,OOO,OO or a sum equal to the value of all the products of the country, exclusiue of dupli- cation.
 This calculation was made in 1886. Since then the labor performed by the railroads of the country has increased about 200 percent, while the expenses have increased not over 50 percent.

A Mexican had a narrow escape from being buried alive out at the cinder pit the other day. He was engaged around the steam shovel, when a slide occurred. He imme- diately disappeared, and when his fellow-workmen rushed to his rescue all that could be seen of him was the top of his head. He was quick ly uncovered and saved from suffo- cation. He revived in a few min utes, and his injuries were found to be slight.-Winslow Mail.

$500 Miners on Strike.

The shutdown of all the big min ing enterprises in the Clifton Mo- renci district is complete. More than $500 men are idle in Clifton, Morenci, Metcalfe and Coronado as the result of the refusal of the min CTS to accept the new wage scale adopted by the mine operators. This is the largest strike which ever occurred in Arizona, and in a camp where there has always been the most friendly feeling and perfect satisfaction existing between the companies and the employees. This makes the present strike one of ex- treme misfortune, as break in the amicable relations between the men and the employers may be hard to fully repair. After the present trouble is over there is liable to re- main some feelings of unfriendli ness on both sides. The compa nies at Clifton and Morenci have always shown a disposition to treat their men just and right, and on the other hand there has been un- usual loyalty and fidelity on the part of the men toward the compa- nies. To disturb such a desirable condition by any cause is a serious matter. We hope the trouble will soon be over and peace and pros perity may be speedily restored in that district.-Bisbee Review.
 The miners at Searchlight went out on strike this week and have posted notices in Needles and else where, warning all miners to keep away from the camp. All the mines in the district have been closed down and we understand that the owners say indefinitely. The cause of the strike is reported to be a difference in hours and wages to be paid to top men. We presume that the trouble will be amicably settled soon.-Needles Eye

Territorial newspapers are as busy discussing the fitness of can didates for the presidential nomina- tions as are newspapers in states where people can vote for electoral nominees. As matter of fact the territorial people have direct politi- cal interest. They are permitted by party conventions to assist in choosing candidates, but can do no more, says the Tombstone Prospect or. However, many of the officers of the territories are appointed by the president, and many more through federal department offisials so that personal interest is greater than some of the states. And public interests in territories are certai nly as much affected by national poll, cies as are affairs in states there fore the press and the people in territories do we'll to discuss men and measures.

The Prescott city council had their eyes opened recently on adver- Using rates, says the Journal-Miner. The lesson should make it easy for the Prescott newspapers to collect their bills in the future. In order to secure a wide circulation of their proposal for bonds it was decided to advertise in some of the papers of the larger cities of the United States. The advertisement for which the Prescott papers, which have no contract with the city for advertising, charged $26 for thirty insertions, was accordingly sent to a number of papers. The mayor, who is an admirer of Hearst's Chi cago American, requested that the advertisement be placed in that pa- per, but when notice was sent of what it would cost he came very nearly dropping dead of heart fail ure. The price named was $S69. The order was immediately cancelled by telegraph.

Judge R. E. Sloan rendered an important decision in the case of the United Verde Copper company against Yavapai county. The suit was brought by the company to re- sist the payment of taxes on a valuation of $1,2OO,OOO on the grounds that the valuation is ex- cessive. It has been in the court for some time. Judge Sloan dis missed the case on the grounds that the company failed to comply with the law by first paying it's taxes and by then bringing suit to adju- dicate the question at issue. A similar decision was rendered in the tax case of E. B. Perrin.-J our nal-Miner.
