 Possibility of Alloys.
 Alloys are usually more fusible than the least fusible metal contained, and they are almost always heavier or denser than the average of their un-, combined constituents. A remarkablei exception to both rules is an alloy of 1887 per cent of aluminium and S1.13l per cent of antimony. Both metalsl melt at about G50 degrees C.. while theI alloy requires a heat of 1.OS0 degreesI C., and the specific gravity of thPI latter is only APIS instead of 5.225, which it would be if there were nol change Of volume.
 One Cure For Badness.
 Some cases of badness can be curedI by tactic acid. Dr. Balzer. in the Med teal Times. recommends friction of thel bald part daily with 90 per cent solu ton of tactic acid until the skin be comes inflamed. The treatment is dis continued until the local irritation sub sides, when it is begun again.

MORE ABOUT 8-HOUR LAW

A correspondent of the Los Angeles Mining Review has the following to say as to the probable effect of the .eisht-hour law:
 The most disquiet.ng feature of the mining industry in this territory is the speculation incl1ent to the forth coming operation of the recently en- acted eight-hour law sor underground miners. The effect of the -ac. has al ready been felt to limited extent but until June 1. when it is operative. it will be impossible to deter.rine how sweeping will be the effect.
 The first camp affected hy ihe measure was the Poland. where opera tions were suspended ostensibly in an ticipation of the labor act. TT man agement of this mine, which is located in the Big Bug district, Yavapai com ty. and which employed several scores of men, announce that it's develop ments already have bean beset with difficulties and that it carno: afford to proceed with work if required to pay the same wages Irlec eight-nOur
 
 rule.
 The company evidently played a trump card in the oor;est witE labor for whether by forethOught Or acci dent the move in that camp. at feast in respect to the difficulties arising from recent labor legislation. About I5 men were thrown our Of work and the men, for the most par are still locking for another job. It seems quite likely that the former employees will be willing to accept employment from the same company in the future at reduced wages. Tn other wor3s. the Poland mine will be able to oper. ate as economically as before by pay ing to each miner an eight-hour wage instead of a ten-hour wage as former | ly.
 Thus far no other mines have closed | in an ticipation of the new law. Many of the mines of the territory are un' harmed by the new act. The United Verde and the Copper Queen, for in stance, have been working three shifts and operating under an eight-hour day for some time and their payrolls will not be affected The mines al Globe and at Clifton and Moranci will be most affected by the change and the Congress mine will also suf fer. Previous to the passage of the bill, telegrams were received here by
Bisbee daily review., 1903-05-29

prominent lawn akers from the Ari. zona Copper company, both of Cliff. ton and Morenci, stating that those corporations would be under the ne cessity of disseminating operations in case of the passage of the bill
 These concerns have made no sub. sequent announcements, however, thal these and other companies in tic ter. ritoIy will attempt to reduce the wage scale on June 1, in which case the unions may call their members on a strike. The mine managers at Clifton and Morenci declare that they are op. erating on low grade ore and On 2 margin so narrow that profits would be entirely dissipated in reducing tue hours of labor without commensurate reduction in the wage scale. Saall mine operators engaged in the devei opment of new holdings will be hard hit in some instances.
 The eight-hour measure was bit terly contested and as vigorously put fOrBard by the labor leaders. It pre- sents some peculiar phases. It is based upon the Wyoming eight-hour law whose constitutionality rested on the representations that the law is conducive to public health. In the first place the labor leaders sought the enactment of a law to restrict the hours of labor for smeltermen, mill men and surface men connected with mines or smelters. as well as under ground miners. The opponents sought to put the measure in objectionable form by offering amendments calculat ted to grant similar immunities tC practically every form of labor in Art zona. and steering the bill against tho United States constitution.
 i The result was a compromise II the form of an eight-hour law appli cable only 10 underground miners. Tue labor representatives CH->n victory in the recognition accorded organized labor in this territory, but iE Is wei l known that the labor union; are no iu such splendid spirits as is pretend ed. Employers believe that the opera ton of the new law, on account of it' limited scope, will have a ten iency tt create serious ruptures in labor orgai. ! izations and create a breach betTceI underground iabcrers and surface me! Time alone can determine the effec
