FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
Gov Bell Delivered Address at Barre Before
State Labor Convention.

Barre, Aug. 9.-The second days
session OF the fourth annual conven.
tion OF the Vermont branch OF the
American Federation OF Labor was
made notable this afternoon by an adj
dress given by Governor Bell.
The governor spoke for about Is
minutes. He compared the Grange Of
which he is state master, TO labor ur-
ions. He said in part: "Your con-
vention must be OF great value to you
by getting together and comforting.
There Is one thing that will speak
about at this time although | do not
claim to know much about unions.
You are little apt to say a man shall
work only so long. On the farm 1t is
impossible TO have scale of wages.
One man earns more than another.
as not labor scale of wages lit
tie encouragement TO be dilatory?
Does II urge man to become as ex-
pert as possible? 1t seems to me there
is a little danger Of the organization
being selfish or wrong or going to ex
tremes. II things 60 wrong we should
have more of an idea of the men whom
we shall elect to make our laws. am
firmly convinced that the only way to
control capital is by legislation. Look
carefully to whom you are electing.
We s. ould obey the laws, and If the
laws are not right we should elect men
who will make tn m right.

H. Kane and Harry Westlake have resigned from the school board of district 38. One of the reasons given for their resignation is because they are employed by the Shannon cop per company, which had created some comment, and for the further reason that they are very busy and cannot give their time to the duties of the office. Superintendent Moody should fill their places at once, and from men who are not con- nected with either of the companies. There is no denying the fact that the school situation in Clifton is in a 'deplorable condition, and there seems little hope of change for the bet ter.

B. U. Beauchamp, who recently re- turned from the Mogollons, where he spent many weeks hunting and ,pros- pecting, states that there is no doubt that the noted Apach Kid and his squaw and child are living in the wilds of the Mogollon mountains, and have been for some years past. It will be remembered that the Kid disappeared some years ago from southern Arizona and Sonora, where he committed many depredations. 1t has been known for some time that there were Indians in the Mogollons, but their depredations have been con- fined mostly to the killing of cattle. although on one or two occasions citizens were fired on, and one man was wounded. When MT. Beauchamp was in that section last summer two of his horses were stolen, and he was then satisfied that they were taken | by Indians, as there were Indian signs all through the mountains. That he was correct in this supposition was demonstrated by more recent events. After MT. Beauchamp left there last summer he was informed that one of his horses had been recovered, and on his recent trip he learned the par ticulars of its recovery. It seems that some cowboys who were far back in the mountains ran onto the Kids camp, but fortunately the Kid was not at home. Mrs. Kid and Kid junior beat hasty retreat, and were not pursued. In the camp was found one of MT. Beauchamp's horses, pair of officers field glasses and a fine modern rife, but no cartridges. Everything in the camp was taken and conveyed to the home ranch, and that very night the Kid and his squaw returned the call. They lib erated all the horses in the corral and rode away two of the best of them. The reason the people are so sure the Kid is in the country is be- cause of the extraordinary large track he leaves. It is known that the Kid had the largest foot of any man on the reservation. The Kid could be had if the government wanted him very bad, but it would take a regiment of soldiers to get him.

The Los Angeles Times last week stated that the Shannon plant had been flooded and partially de- stroyed by the Frisco river. This is a mistake. The Shannon plant is nearly two hundred feet above the Frisco river, and is one of the finest and safest locations for a plant in Arizona. The only loss to the Shan non company by floods during the present year was by having their ore supply cut off by washouts on the Coronado railroad. This will be ob- viated in the near future by the ad- dition of large storage bins, where a sufficient supply will be carried for such emergencies.

While nearly all of the towns of the territory are building school houses, and many of them, Clifton has gotten into little tangle over the lines of the district and three fourths of the population of the dis trict are without a school house. Chase Creek, with a scholastic popu- lation of five or six hundred has nc school house and only one school which can accommodate but a few children. South Clifton is in the same deplorable condition, with an equal number of children, but with several schools taught in sheds and tents. School conditions here are a shame and disgrace to any con- munity in the United States, and have already cost the town many good citizens who have moved away in order that their children may have the common advantages of public schools which are the pride of most communities. Recently when an election was held for the purpose of consolidating the precincts with the hope of bringing harmony out of present chaotic conditions, something like three hundred votes were cast by people who are not citizens of this country. Some vigorous protests were made against these illegal votes being cast, but the judge of the election either did not known the law or would not enforce it, and as a consequence our school muddle is gradually drifting from bad to worse, and much feeling is being aroused in the community, which bodes no good for the future. It is a most de- plorable state of affairs, through which the children are the principal sufferers.

Recent floods have delayed ship ments by the New England company, but as soon as the river is down and the roads can be made passable the ore will go forward. However, the company should lose no time in the construction of their. tramway, for the reason that under present con- ditions their shipments by wagon will be interrupted by every rise in the river,

At a meeting of the shareholders of the Shannon Copper company held in New York last week the old board was reelected and the same officers appointed by the board of directors which is an indication of confidence in the entire management by the shareholders. In this the sharehold- CTS have no doubt acted wisely. The annual report of the officers of the company to the shareholders was quite extensive and went into the details ot the entire business. The treasurer's report shows that there were manufactured during this year Il ,295, ,586 pounds of fine copper, with a by-product of 592 ounces of gold
 and I7,127 ounces of silver. The
 average price of copper was .1424 cents: During the year there was charged to the construction account S52. .32O. .96, which deducted from the total expenses of the year left Sl, 36S, ,O2O.Of as the total cost of the copper, or .1211 cents per pound, a profit of .02l3 cents per pound. The net profit for the year was S27l, 153.65, a little over ninty cents a share. The report also contains the report of Manager Bennie and Con- sulting Engineer Watson, both o1 whom agree in saying that the mines are in good shape, with plenty of ore blocked out for the future use, and that the machinery is in good Condi- tion. They also made a number o1 recommendations for betterment o1 plant and improvements generally

From all reports the camp of Mogollon, some eighty miles up the Frisco river in New Mexico, was greatly damaged by floods last week, which played havoc with some of the mills and other plants. Mogol- Ions is perhaps the best camp in New Mexico, but it is situated long dis tance from the railroad, and has had a hard run of luck for the past few years. However, it has entirely too much merit to be seriously hurt by the flood.

which it would be well for the direct ors to grant. The manager and con- sulting engineer who are on the ground certainly have better knowledge of the needs of the com pany at the mines than the directors who reside in the east. The com pany is now in a splendid financial condition and at the present price of copper it will make much more money during the coming year than at any time during it's past history. The Shannon company is not one of the "big" companies of the territory, but it has made a success under many future before it. Considering the short time the company has been operating it has really made pro- nounced success, but it will do much better in the future, and it may yet be numbered among the "big" com panies. The officers of the company are: George c. Gill, president; J. w. Hazen, treasurer; w. J. Palmer, secretary: J. w. Bennie, general manager. and Rolla V. Watson, con- sulting engineer. The only change in the officers was the promotion of Mir. Palmer to the position of secre- tary, which heretofore was combined with the office of treasurer. MT. Palmer has been with the company from it's commencement as chief book-keeper and he so faithfully full filled his duties that all factions of the company were satisfied with him. His elevation was a justly deserved recognition of past services.

For the past two weeks the Detroit Copper company have had corps of engineers in the field in the Coronado mountains and around Metcalf, and the general supposition is that the company will soon commence the construction of an electrical line from Gold Gulch into the Metcalf country. During the past two years the company has purchased many mining claims in that section which are being developed with good re- suits, and it is only reasonable to sup pose that the company will connect the mines with their plant at Mo- renci. The ERA has no definite in- formation in regard to this new en- terprise on the part of the D. C., but is certain that these surveys mean something pretty good for the Met calf country.
