The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1907-05-24

The construction of the eight
hour law of 1892, which limits
the employment OF laborers and
mechanics on public works to
eight hours a day, was involved
in a number of cases decided by
the Supreme Court at Washing
ton this week. There seemed to
be no doubt in the mind OF the
court as to the constitutionality
OF the legislation, but there was
a difference OF opinion upon the
principal point involved in the
cases, that, namely, as to whether
the law was applicable to men
employed on dredges in river and
harbor improvements. Mr..
Justice Holmes, speaking for the
majority Of the court, said that
the men 50 employed were not
laborers or mechanics within the
meaning Of the law, but were sea-
men to whom the law was not
applicable. The decision will un-
tie the hands Of the War Depart
ment, which has held up most Of
the contracts for river and har-
Dor work authorized by the last
Congress, pending a decision up
on the Observation-Disclosures

A gasoline tank rarely explodes.
1t cannot unless it contains gaso
line vapor and air in explosive pro.
portions, which latter condition is
almost never present. 1t does not
explode because it contains too
little air or too much gasoline.
Even if tank of gasoline were to
burst from heat applied to its ex-
terror, the confined heavy gas would
not explode if in contact with
flame or fire, but would burn in
stead. True, a tank of gasoline
with no vent could do considerable
damage were it to burst and throw
burning oil and flaming gas about,
but one thousand gallons Of gaso-
line in vessels bilges would not
be SO dangerous frcm explosion as
a hundredth Of that amount. The
larger quantity would burn rapid
ly, while the smaller would be sui
ficient, if mixed with the proper
amount Of air, to utterly demolish

FRIDAY, MAY "a. 1907.
What Western Mining Means.

The receipts of ores and bullion
steadily increase. Those receipts
are really the most perfect bar
ometer of the country's progress
that wehave. They are steady
reinforcements to the money sup
ply and the money is what counts.
1t is what the steel rods are to a
reinforced cement structure.
Let the steady flow OF bullion
from the mines begin to slow
down and its effect would be per-
ceptible to all lines Of business in
the country before six months;
let it cease and before two years
the volume of business would be
reduced one-half, and a great deal
of business that is now carried on
with money would be reduced to
barter. There would be a grad
ual slowing down of business
everywhere. 1t would be not
ceable first in the carrying trade
ofthe through railroads, then one
and another branch of business
would feel the strain; there would
bea reduction ofhours of employ
ees in the manufacturers; there
would beless food eaten and more
for exports; there would be a
steady falling off in the demand
for clothing. furniture vehicles
for all necessities and luxuries.
When the usual fall of snow fails
in the mountains the vegetation
in the valleys suffers, in thesame
way when the money supply be-
gins to fail, it is to business what
comes to the lawns and foliage
when the springs in the hills fail.
The average Eastern man knows
nothing Of this. When farming
lands in the East increased 40
per cent. in value between 1919
and 1856, not one in a thousand
Eastern people had the slightest
idea that the advance was due to
the fact that the placers of Cali
fornia had doubled the real
money supply of the country;
not many of them realize that
the great boom in business all
over the Republic is due to what
the miners in the West are doing
and producing.
And the very strongest guaran-
tee of continued prosperity lies in
in the result of the work of these
same western mines.
SO when the press and the men
who deal in money in the eastern
centers, rave against the dealing
in mining stocks and talk about
the wickedness Of Investing good
money in wildcat shares" they
ought, now and then to stop and

died almost before physicians from the

The second of the notes was almost

by the woman after she had drunk the
acid. The paper was acid-stained and

man showed expectation of her death
and made arrangements for her burial
and for the disposition of her personal
property.
