they were Jared loose from their

will be in operation in a few weeks.
AS soon as the tramway is in operation
permanent development work will be
commenced on the Antietam and
Ohio groups near Metcalf. A new
working shaft will be sunk on the
Antietam. However, Mr.. Burger
thinks it will be some time before ore
will be shipped from the company's
mines IN that section.

it's entire length carries values in
gold and silver which will average
about $1,000 per ton. There is over
ten thousand tons of ore now on the
main dump, and several thousand
tons blocked out and ready for min
ing.
The Ash Peak Mining company is
composed of Boston capitalists, who
have but recently come into control
of the Ash Peak property. This prop
erty was formerly owned by the
Commerce Gold and Silver Mining
and Milling Co., and worked and
developed by the late Micheal
h. Twomey, the we'll known expert.
After the explosion which resulted
in the death of several men at work
on the property, followed shortly by
the death of Mr.. Twomey, the mines
were closed down, pending a settle
ment of the estate of Mr.. Twomey.
1t is the intention of the present
owners, the Ash Peak Mining COM
pany, to push development on this
property as. rapidly as possible.
Plans are already under way for the
erection of stamp mill and cyanide
plant, and with the immense amount
of ore available, and extremely high
percentage of extraction by the
combined processes, the installation
of such a mill is expected to put the
property quickly on paying basis.
There are in the vicinity of Ash
Peak several prospects from which
ores could be treated by amalgama-
ton and cyaniding at a cost which
would warrant operation, and which
the transportation and smelling
charges at present prohibit. The
owners of these properties would be
immensely benefited by the erection
of the mill above referred to.
The work now being carried on at
the Ash Peak mine is under the
direction of Tom Larkin. W. F.
Nawatny, an expert from Chicago,
will have charge of the Diamond Drill
work. Arthur Murphy Jr. of Boston
is managing director.

DETROIT. CONCENTRATION SHUT DOWN.
On Saturday the men employed
in the concentrating plant of the De-
troit Copper company at Morenci
presented a petition to General Man
ager Mills asking that their hours of
labor be reduced from u to s hours
and that the pay remain the
same. On Monday morning the plant
was closed down by order of the
management and most OF the men
have since left the camp. There
were about one hundred men en-
ployed in the plant. The ERA is in
formed that the men in their petit
ton, or. verbally, stated, that if their
petition was not granted they would
remain under the old conditions until
May l, or longer, in order that other
labor might be secured. The effect of
the closing of the concentrating plant
cannot now be predicted. 1t is not
probable that the smelling plant can
be run at its full capacity without
the concentrates, neither is it likely
that the same force of miners will
be employed if the plant is shut
down for any considerable time.
The ERA is informed that the man
agement offered to concede the 8
hours with a cut of 80 cents per day,
which the men would not accept.

The Typographical union has a griev-

Mr.. Schma1l to furnish two country

Upon receipt Of this information Mr..
Devereaux went to Redwood Falls and
had an interview with Mr.. .schmall
who very politely informed the repre-
sentative Of the Typographical union
that he had two printers to send to st.
Paul to become more perfect in the
business. Mr.. Deveraux attempted to
influence Mr.. Schmall to change his
course, and that gentleman agreed to
do SO, although he admitted that he
advised one OF the men to go to st.

BAKERS STRETCH THEIR
49, .HAAQs. ACROSS THE SEA
Bakers and Confectionery
Workers International union
Recognize Foreign Cards.
Arrangements Complete for
Recognition of Members
from Scotch Society.

New York, Aug. 9.-For several
years the hands across the sea" SEN
timent has been growing stronger
among labor unions, but the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Interna-
tional Union has brought practical re-
suits out of it. Last week the bakers
here perfected an arrangement with
the Operative Bakers of Scotland
through which each will recognize the
cards Of the other and admit members
on either side of the ocean to all
rights and privileges without initia-
ton. Similar arrangements are being
made with the bakers in Germany,
Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but
the negotiations have not yet reached
completion. The English and the Irish
idea.
Frank H. Harzbecker general secre-
tary of the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers Union, who Is working to
bring about a closer alliance Of the
bakers all over the world, was born
in Germany in 1865. He came to this
country In 1888 and joined the inter-
national union when 1t was formed in
1885. He was elected general secre-
tary in 1899 and has been reelected
at the end Of each two-year term since
that date. When Mr.. Harzbecker was
first elected the International union
had but 5000 members. Now the men,
bership is over $4,000 and the con-
ditions Of the bakers have been much
improved in the way Of better sani-
tary regulations and shorter hours of
work. The watchword of the organ
ization is Let there be light" and the
goal the bakers are striving for is
an eight-hour day and the abolition OF
all night work. At present most of
the bakers are forced to work at
night.

COUNCIL GETS busy ON
CITY. LIGHTING PLANT
Abandons Idea Of Steam Auxili-
ary-Ask for Estimate on
Distributing.
People Again Aroused on Public
Ownership. Question Hard
Fight Coming.

The movement for municipal owner
ship received another impetus last
Monday evening at the city council
Alderman Wilson withdrew his former
proposition Of calling for an estimate
on an auxiliary steam plant In con-
junction with the distributing plant,
and secured the adoption of resolu-
ton asking for an estimate on dis
tributing plant only.
The experts will probably be en-
ployed next week, and it is hoped that
the proposition will be in shape to
submit to the voters at the February
election.
There are just enough true blue
municipal ownership people In the
council to successfully push the pro-
position of building a municipal light
ing plant.
The matter has gone too far now to
be allowed to drop. The public eye 1s
upon the council. Every Alderman is
being watched, and his vote on every
question tending to promote public
ownership, or In placing obstacles in
the way of it's progress is being care
fully analysed.
Never since the days OF the old gas
and water company fight has the public
conscience been SO thoroughly aroused.
Everybody Is working under the as
sumption that the city has the right
to issue bonds for the purpose of ex-
tending Its lighting plant by the build
Ing or purchase Of an electric lighting
plant The fight has just begun. I'm
til such time as the matter is presented
to the people shedding will be very
easy. But when the people vote on
the Proposition then will the great
legal struggle begin. We may not be
disappointed If the matter runs It's full
gauntlet In the courts. The only
phase OF the question Of interest to
us will be the testing Of the legality
OF the bonds. A friendly suit will soon
determine this.
The people OF Duluth are we'll
educated on the municipal ownership
question, and when they once get
aroused no power on earth can stop
them. This Is one of the reasons why
the council is very careful about giving
away franchises and making contracts.
The future promises some interest
ing times In politics in Duluth. The
outcome will be observed with interest
by every student OF economics. Fl.

INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
To MEET NEXT MONTH
I. w. w. Plans to Hold It's Sec
ond Annual Convention
next Month in Chicago.
Rumor Has It that Some of the
Leading Lights are to be
Cast into Oblivion.

Chicago, ILL.,. Aug. 9.-The industrial
Workers Of the World are to hold their
annual convention in this city, begin
ming Sept. II, and great things are
promised. Father" Hagerty, Mother
Jones, Daniel DeLeon and few others
who were prominent in the convention
when the organization was formed a.
year ago are to be relegated to oblivion,
according to some Of the delegates. A
few Of the executive officers who have
spent the last year in denouncing the
American Federation Of Labor are also
in danger Of having to go to work.
Some Of the delegates to the coming
convention favor placing the organiza-
ton on what they call solid basis,
and they propose cutting politics out
of it altogether.
The Organization Is composed almost
entirely Of socialists, and II politics is
cut out of the socialists curriculum
there is nothing left. w. E. Traut-
mann, the secretary of the organiza-
ton, is scheduled for defeat. Traut-
mann has gone to such extremes in
denouncing Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and other labor men as being
payroll patriots, while carefully stick
ing on the pay roll himself, that many
Of his former followers have turned
against him. AS usual, hundreds Of
labor organizations are ION the verge"
of joining the Industrial Workers, and
are awaiting the action OF the conven-
ton. After it is over they will, no
doubt, remain ION the verge until the
next convention. The latest report is
that thousands Of the Chicago team
sters are ready to cast their lot with
the Industrial Workers.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK

Encourages Thrift to Wonderful
Extent-Workmen Deposit
Many Millions.
Depositors Have Been Able to buy
Government Bonds Make
Other Safe Investments,

Can there be any better argument
for the establishing Of postal savings
banks in America than the following
bit of news from London? A few
years ago strong sentiment prevailed
through the country for the Inaugural
ton of the postal savings system, but
the apathy OF Congress on the subject,
and the hostility Of the bankers rather
discouraged the advocates Still the
idea is not dead by any means.
With the adoption of the initiative
and referendum there Is a possibility
that the agitation will be renewed.
We ask our readers to carefully
analize the statement given out by the
British government. 1t is as follows
in part:
The establishment of the Postoffice
Savings bank has been an enormous
inducement to the cultivation of thrift
among the workingmen Of England.
as the following figures show: During
the past fiscal year the savers deposited
$211. 100000. They also draw from the
government in the form Of interest
on undistributed deposits the large.
