The miners and smeltermen of Bisbee,
Arizona, on March 5th voted on the
proposition whether to organize local
union of the Western Federation OF
Miners or not. The proposition was
defeated by vote of 2,228 against To
428 for. Commenting on this the MiaT
ing and Scientific, Press says: While
the matter may not be finally settlea.
the vote is significant. There are
many mining corporations that might
well take hint from the experience OF
the Copper Queen and Calumet & Ari-
iona companies and model the treat
ment of their employees accordingly.
The fact is generally appreciated at
Bisbee that nothing except. the upright
dealings of the officials controlling the
operations of these companies is re-
sponsible for the attitude of local
labor to the outside union. Mans in
humanity to man. is at the bottom of
half the labor disturbances, and there
is no way better calculated to secure
efficient work and undisturbed contin-
uity of operations than methods based
on fair dealing and humane considera-
ton, on both sides.

We take issue with an article pub
lished some. ;time ago, by the Lewiston
Tribune and which reads as follows:
1.-The theft of blasting powder at this
time of the year is not. uncommon
Miners who are without means make it
business to steal what powder they
want" ~
The above is an untruthful state
ment and one which should be righted.
The miners of this or any other state
in which we have ever been are men
who pay the hard cash for everything
they get and are, as rule, honorable,
upright and industrious scitizens; and
not to be classed as common thieves.
The absurdity of accusing men, land
wrongfully toy, of such crime. Men
who hewd trails and penetrated the
forests-that the march of civilization
be onward and not INSTRUCTED. Men
who brave every danger that the vast
western wilderness might be converted
into veritable garden, spot which has
supplied with homes, the millions who
followed in their wake.
Should all miners be branded as
thieves and assassins just because. three
or four Of their number have been ar
rested, charged with a most atrocious
crime? Perhaps Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone are guilty, perhaps innocent,
that question will be decided. by the
courts of the state, but in the United
States men are always innocent until
proven guilty. = Whitebird Independent.

False Statements.

(From Northwest Press Association.
The Idaho Recorder, at Salmon, Idaho,
copies al article from the Spokesman
Review in regard to Senator .Heyburn's
policy on the forest reserves, which is
misleading and calculated to create the
impression that he has not handled the
question in the most conservative and
best manner. There is no foundation
whatever for this article. 1t emanates
from person Il feeling of the Spokes-
man-Review toward Senator Hepburn
on political questions. That paper has
undertaken to oppose Senator Hepburn
on every possible occasion, and where
It Is forced to agree with his purpose
IT finds some occasion to attack his
methods. 1t charges that he has been
bitter and radical in dealing with this
question. This is probably inspired by
the fact that the Spokesman-Reyiew
published number of articles in re-
gard to Senator Heyburn's position and
action on this question which We're
without any foundation in truth and
which were intended to create preju-
dice against him personally. Senator
Hepburn is not so constituted as to sub,
init to this class of attack without
hitting back, and if there is anything
that papers like the Review do not like
1t is to be shown up as creatures o1
prejudice and unfair dealing. On 6
number of occasions such papers as the
Boise Statesman, the Review and the
Portland Oregonian have on the strength
of especial dispatches" from Washing

of a combination of other candidates
against L. H. johnson are groundless,

However, when it comes to uniting
on any candidate to beat Johnson, the
path is full of stumps. Two or three
OF the candidates would rather 60 to
Johnson than to any one else, if they
cannot land themselves, and even if a
candidate makes q deal by which he
throws his strength to some one else

cannot be delivered except in few
cases. If released from the man they

ore body with more ease 1t has been determined
to make 1T an open pit. The entire 100 acres

The company will do its own stripping and
Will not be able to ship much ore from this

Every year brings the depth of stripping lower
