After many weeks Of effort, repre-

succeeded in reaching joint working
agreement. A. E. Raymond, president
Of the local union, was greatly assisted

Driscoll of Boston, both Of whom were
delegates to the A. F. of L. convention.
A working agreement existed be-
tween the employers and the union up
to about two years ago. Both organ
1zatlons believe the agreement will be
mutually beneficial, and an attempt
will be made to induce the st. Paul
employers to enter into a similar con-
tract.
Text Of Agreement.
The agreement itself is brief, but
seems to cover the ground thoroly. It
is as follows:
On and after Jan. 1, 1907, the hours Of labor
shall be nine (9) day for the first Ave DAYS of
the week and eight (s) hours on Saturday.

An opinion of the scource of the
gold nuggets is that gold, being hea-
Wy, settles at the first opportunity at
the bottom of a stream unless STRAIT.
um of stiff clay prevents it's reaching
bedrock. Nuggets and coarse gold
are found nearest the lode. when the
topography has been of a nature to af-
ford gold a resting place. Farther
down stream the lighter flakes and
small grains are deposited. as the
streams widens and the force of the
current abates. Fine flake and flour"
gold is often carried many miles down
stream by the force of the water,
which keeps it turning over and ov-
er and sliding along with the muddy
water of floods or freshets. Metallic
gold, wire and thick gold leaves have
also been found in chunks of lead ore:
wire in copper and leaves in iron ore
in lode mines. showing plainly that
the lead, cOpepr or iron was deposit
ted after the metallic gold had form
ed in the veins. These specimens are
more worthy of the scientists specu-
latiOn and research than are the few
battered and partly rusty" gold plac-
er nuggets found Gold in placers

An interesting question is involved
in suit brought against the Washoe
Copper company by the owner OF
some city lots and residence property
over the Gamblers mine workings at
Butte, Montana, the action being one
for damages on account of the sink
ing of the ground and cracking of the
buildings by the underground work
inSs. The case has been determined
SO far as the district court is con-
cerned, in favor of the Washoe com,
pany, but the matter will be taken to
the state and federal courts for the
purpose of determining finally the
relative rights of surface and mineral
owners. The district court has decid-
ed that the surface of lots must be
maintained in the natural and unbrok-
en- state, and that mining must be so
conducted as not to interfere with
the natural surface, but the support
to be given the surface need not be
sufficient also to sustain buildings on
it says the Mining World In other
words. if the sinking and cracking is
caused by the weight of the buildings
and the ground would remain in its
natural condition without the build
ings On it, then the surface owner
cannot recover damages. If, however
tine mining causes the ground to sink
regardless of the weight of the build.
ings, then the surface owner can re-
cover damages done both to the lots
and the buildings. 1t is a question
that has never been determined by
the higher courts in Montana and is
of great importance to both mining
companies and owners of surface prop
erty, especially as a great deal of
damage is constantly done to surface
property by underground blasting and
caving. Nearly the entire city of Butte
Is undermined, some of the biggest
workings of the Amalgamated and
Clark companies being done under
the business sections of the city.
