KEEP WAGES UP HIGH.
Gompers Says Wall Street FURRY Is
Only a Gamblers Panic"

President Samuel Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor hurled
a thunderbolt Monday in the form Of
a warning that labor will not tolerate
wage reductions, and that employers
who may attempt them on cry of
the financial situation, which he terms
nothing more or less than gambl-
ers' panic" will do so at their peril.
He recommends that labor and civic
organizations which have withdrawn
money from the banks help defeat
the gamblers scheme" by investing in
government bonds.
"Of course, all realize that there is
a stringency Of the circulating medium
of money. that there is an insufficient
amount of currency to carry on the
enormously increased production of
the past year and the means for its
general distribution" his statement
says.

God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen.
God rest you, merry gentlemen.
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Savior
Was born upon this day
To save US all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
o tidings of comfort and joy,
For Jesus our Savior was born on
Christmas day.
In Bethlehem in Jewry
This blessed babe was born,
And laid within manger
Upon this blessed morn;
The which his mother Mary
Nothing did take in scorn.
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son Of God by name.
Fear not, then said the angel,
Let nothing you alright.
This day 10 born q Savior
OF virtue, power, and might:
So frequently to vanquish all
The friends Of Satan quite.
The shepherds at those tidlngs
Rejoiced much In mind,
And left their hocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightwayt
This blessed babe to find.
But when to Bethlehem they camA
Whereat this infant lay,
They found him in u manager
Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary kneeling
Unto the Lord did pray.
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace:
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface.
o tidings of comfort and Joy,
For Jesus Christ our Savior was born
On Christmas Day.

MINES AND MINING.

For at least 80 days the American
Smelling & Refining company will re-
fuse to receive ores from all shippers
who do not have contracts. This is
because the company is already over
stocked with ores at it's East Helena
plant from contract shippers, and has
no room in which to store additional.
1t is understood another reason for
this order is to be found in the unset
tied condition of the metal markets
in the east. The company has thou
sands upon thousands of dollars tied
up in ores bought, and further drops
in prices would mean that much more
loss. The order will not affect the
number of men employed.
The Black Jack mine at Corbin is
the scene Of reported copper, gold
and silver strike. The property is
owned by Helena and Great Falls
men. The strike was made on the
hanging wall at the 25O-foot level.
while the first discovery of ore was
made on the foot wall.
Smeltermen, carpenters and engi-
neers' unions Of Butte have voted to
accept the reduced wage scale agree
ment by the Amalgamated Copper &
Mining companies under its recent
agreement. About 1900 men are af-
fected.
A 15-foot ledge Of rich copper-gold
ore has been opened in the lower tun-
mel on the Monarch property, a
group of seven claims in the Rapid
river district in central Idaho.
Forty-five feet of low grade copper
and iron ore has been opened up by
the crosscut tunnel on the property Of
the recently organized Butte Occur
d'Alene Copper Mining company which
adjoins the Colby property
near Saltese.
| Good ore is showing in the lower
tunnel on the Victoria Empire prop
erty near Libby, Mont
Three additional furnaces are to
be installed at the smelter of the Sui
livan mine located at Marysville, r..
c., as soon as financial arrangements
now under way are completed. rhe
roasters at the smelter now have a
capacity Of 1870 tons daily. 1t is plan
ned to double the capacity of the
smelter, which now has three fur
naces," said former Senator George
Turner, who returned recently from
visit to the mine.
| Rumors Of the proposed curtilment
of the output of all lead-silver mines
in the Occur d'Alene district, includ-
ing the mines of the Federal company
and those being developed by the in
dependent operators, because of the
alleged overproduction of lead in the
United States, have been current for
several days.
A full face of exceptionally rich
free milling gold ore has been opened
up in the Old Corporal property in
the Marshall Lake district in central
Idaho.
J. c. Fox and p. r. Briggs, owners
of the mine, have been doing develop
ment work all summer. The strike
was made at a depth of 10 feet and
about 70 feet from the tunnel portal
The ore, according to assays made at
Grangeville, carries about $500 in
gold to the ton.
