Work Of Cutting Through Formation in Bottom of C. & C. Shaft Going Along Smoothly While at C. & B. a Little Difficulty Was Experienced Which Is Now Overcome.

Ali the Calumet & Cochise and Cal umet & Bisbee properties, which are conducted under the same manage ment as regards both the local end Michigan officials, the attea ion js centered in the expiorato-y y work now well started with the cianrond drill machines. At tiio former property she drill was put in commission ard n commencement male in cutting hole from the bottom oi he shaft down. ward without trouble an6' since the start was made a depth of, over one Hundred feet has been attained. The formation gone through is much the same as through which the shaft was dunk but there will likely be change ere long as the farthest point reached by the drill is now down 1075 feet be low the surface and the management figures that without about four or five hundred additional sinking pay ground should be run into.
 The drill operations at the Calumet < Bisbee have not progressed as rap Idly as at the Calumet & Cochise. al though excellent headway is now be- ing made Shortly after starting the machine on its downward course from SG0fcot station in the shaft for nation of an inconsistent character was encountered and interfered great ly with the progress of the work. That difficulty has, however, been overcome as a better formation for drill work has been reached. This far about fifty feet of ground has been gone through. Nothing of a startling nature will be encountered until more than two hundred feet ad- ditioral sinking has been cone, as the shaft has been sunk to a distance Of 9e5 feet. which is nearly as deep as the drill will be after having cut the stated distance.
 The cutting of holes at both proper fies from the shaft toward the hear, of the bluff, in each instance, will be watched with a great 6eal of inter est as it is in these workings that ere deposits are most confidently looked fer. Several holes of be tween five hundred and one thousand feet will be cut in different directions from the shafts and a considerably large sized area of ground will be thoroughly exploited. It will proba- hly be fully a month before work will be commenced driving holes from the c. & c. and c. & B. shafts in vertical directions and altogether the explora tory work with the diamond drills that has been mapped cut will re quire Q period of about five months Those who are well informed as re gards what prospects the two mines give for the future are looking for yard with the biggest anticipations and believe most firmly that ere the expiration of very many weeks some good news will be sent out to stock holders.

At the front with General Kuroki's
forces. July 4. via Seoul, Corea, July
IA brief and disastrous attempt of
the Russians to overwhelm the Japan
csc force which guarded the entrance
to Molten pass was a bloody affair.
Before daylight two battalions of the
tenth and twenty-fourth east Siberian
regiments. together with 100 cavalry
men, approached the Japanese posi-
ton. They approached the pickets
and outposts and gained a position
from which to rush the trenches.
Several other Russian companies
were so disposed that they could at
tempt a flank movement on both
the Japanese right and left.
When the fighting began the build
ing where the outposts were quar-
tered became a slaughtering house.
The Russians were at such close
quarters D.. with the Japanese that it
was impossible for the latter to use
their rifles. The first fighting in the
trenches and in front of the trenches
was hand to hand. The first Rus
sian onslaught was repealed, but the
Russians charged twice again within
half an hour. The remainder of the
Japanese regiment, however, rein
forced their comrades and began to
drive the Russians back. AS soon
as it was sufficiently light to distin-
guish the enemy, two hours after the
beginning of the fight, the Japanese
forced the Russians to retreat. A
trench and its approaches on the hill
side were thickly covered with dead
and wounded. Blood-spattered stones
and grass everywhere testified to the
holiness of the fighting.
Chinese stretcher-bearers collected
the wounded and carting them to an
improvised hospital they were laid
out in rows. Japanese details, with
trenching spades, were burying the
dead where they fell and japanese
soldiers were bringing water TO their
own and the Russian wounded.
The fire continued during the afte"'
noon but gradually the Sounds grew
distant. indicating that the Russians
were still retreating. The Russians
had more than 200 killed or wounded
The Japanese took a number of pris-
oners and captured 100 rifles.

comment here. The principal mer-

lieved by all to be extremely serious
unless the decree be revoked and. the

No Exclusive Privileges.
"The effectuation of such a purpose
would conflict with that principle of
public policy which prohibits mOnOpO-
lies and exclusive privileges. 1t would
tend TO deprive the public of the ser
vices of men in useful emplOyments
and capacities. In Christensen VS..
People of the state of Illinois it was
held that the following agreement Gre
ated a monopoly and was against pub
lie policy: The party of the first part
hereby agrees to employ none but
members of the aforesaid organiza-
tions, provided the various grades will
furnish such competent help as may
be required by the party of the first
part within twenty-four hours after no
tificatOn'
THE court in its opinion SAID: This
agreement strikes at the right of con-
tract and provides that complainant
shall employ none but members of the
several unions, thus discriminating in
favor of one class of men and exclud-
ing all others. Therefore the prOhi-
btion contained in the contract strikes
at the right Of contract both on the
part of the laborer and the employer.
The agreements in question would tend
to create a monopoly in favor of the
members of the different unions to the
exclusion CT the workingmen not mem
bers of such unions and are in this re-
spect unlawful. Contracts tending to
create a monopoly are void."'

JUDGE Ends the Case.

In his decision Judge Ludwig says:
After having considered the vari-
GUS questions arising on'these mo-
tions, | have come to the conclusions
that the temporary injunction herein
should be dissolved and plaintiffs mo-
ton to have the defendants punished
for contempt be denied. The princi-
pal reasons which have led me to
make this order and which to my
mind make it clear that the tempo
rary injunction was improvidently
granted are:
"First-The injunction is not prop
er because the contract upon which it
is based is void for want of mutually.
The only agreement of the contract
in relation to the hiring of men is as
follows: 1t is expressly agreed by
the parties hereto that only members
of the Milwaukee Customs TailOrs'
union shall be employed The agree
ment contains no undertaking upon
the part of the union to furnish to
the defendants any men or to do OF
to permit anything to be done whatso-
ever in consideration of the promise
of the defendants Mutually of
contract means that an obligation
must rest upon each party to do or
permit to be done something in con.
sideration of the act or promise of the
others; that is, neither party is bound
unless both are bound"

Contract Is Worthless.

1T is well settled, both on principle
and authority, that if either party neg
lects or refuses to bind himself the in
strument is void for want of mutually,
and the party who is not bound cannot
avail himself of il as obligatory upon
the other, and where the instrument is
thus void in its inception no subse-
quent. act of the party who has neg
lected to execute it can render it OBJ
tigatOry upon the other party.
- SecOnd-The contract is void as
against public policy. In the general
consideration of the subject it must be
promised that the organization or CO.
operation of workingmen is not against
any public policy. Indeed, it must be
regarded as having the sanction or
law when it is for such legitimate pur-
poses as that of obtaining an advance
in the late of wages or compensation,
or of maintaining such rate, or any of
the other purposes stated in plaintiffs
complaint.
'. Labor Unions Praiseworthy.
cit is proper and praiseworthy, and
perhaps falls within that general view
of human society which; perceives an
underlying law that men should unite
to achieve that which each b. himself
cannot achieve, or can achieve less
readily. But the social principle which
justifies such Organizations is departed

Against Public Policy.

II is claimed by the attorneys that
the decision renders nugatory agree
ments entered into between employ
ers of labor and the unions wherein
the unions are virtually placed in con-
troll of their shops. This is on the
broad. general ground of public policy,
and the discrimination against non
union workingmen, which either COM
pels them to submit to the union or
go without employment
The decision was given in the suit
brought by the Milwaukee Custom
Tailors' union against the William
Marnitz company, which made an
agreement with the tailors to employ
none but union wOrkmen. A tempo
rary Injunction was obtained. but this
Judge Ludwig rules was improvident-
ly issued.
After the injunction was issued the
union instituted proceedings to have
the company punished for contempt
for the alleged failure to comply with
its terms. The motion TO punish II
was denied and the injunction set

TRACTS UNLAWFUL.
RULING OF JUDGE LUDWIG
Says They Discriminate in Favor of
One Glass Against Another-Are
Contrary to Public Policy-Tend
to Create MonopoIies-WiTI Come
to the Supreme Court.

Milwaukee, July 14.-Contracts
made by labor unions with manufac-
turers, prohibiting the employment of
nOn-union workingmen, are void, ac-
cording to a decision announced by
Judge Ludwig yesterday morning.
1t is the first ruling had upon the ques-
ton in Wisconsin and if sustained by
the supreme court will be of far
reaching Importance.
Glass Discrimination.
The decision goes further than the
contract between the unions and the
manufacturers, holding also that con-
tracts requiring the employment of
none but union labor are void. The
court says it is class discrimination.
If the decision is sustained by the
supreme court it will invalidate the
recent ruling of the resolution of the
Milwaukee common council wherein
the council seeks to have a new
pumping engine with none but union
labor by limiting the competition for
the work to such manufacturers who
employ union labor solely and who
will agree to employ none other. Ii
will also make void the resolution
presented at the last meeting of the
common council prohibiting nOn-mion
labor on city work.

CHILDISH CRUELTY.
Youthful Trait which Carries
Danger with IL.
From the Phlladelphia RECORD.

From the Philadelphia Record.
She was a charming, fiaxen-haired
blue-eyed mite of years. the picture
of infantile innocence. She leaned over
to the next porch, wherein was repos-
ing the pride Of the next-door family,
a fat pug.
"Tum." she commanded. Imperative
ly: 'Tum!'
BE quiet. dear" said her mother;
"let the doggie alone. What do you
want with him?"
Then it was that the dear child, wise
beyond her years, gave utterance to a
great truth. PICKERING her pretty lips
she murmured adorably: Me want to
tease him!"
And so she did. If she had had her
way she would have poked the I'M
happy pug in his fat ribs, tickled his
wrinkled nose with feathers, thumped
him with her little, plump fists, tam
talized him by throwing a ball beyond
his reach, squeezed the breath out of
his body and practiced upon him in
Vulnerable other exasperations. She
had done Il before.
What a strange thing II Is. this pas
sion for teasing, which in many lives
survives to the time OF gray hairs!
There never was q normal child who
did not enjoy this sport, and because
children are strangers to forethought
because they comprehend so little Of
what is abstract not lnfrequently
cruelty enters into II. Teasing is near
ly always the same thing as tantaliz-
ing, and this last is a process which
invariably roughens the temper Of the
unfortunate exposed to II.
Just at the present time a scare
about biting dogs Is existent. What
marvel when we consider that chill
dren love to tease dumb animals, and
that the latter are defenseless unless
they use their teeth? The average dog
exercises more forbesrance than we
have any idea Of, else he would bite
oftener than he does
It IL one OF the wonders that moth
ers, recognizing az they do the childish
propensity for teasing, permit them TO
exercise II to the full upon animals.
