The Labor question and the
relations between employers and
employe, have experienced @any
changes in the past fifteen years
and on a woole the changes are
for the better. The labor unions
have not been the prominant
factor in this change that many
people suppose, they have had
little or nothing to do with it
and ere entitled to no credit.
What has caused this change is
scarcity Of men and prosperous
times. A few years ago the cor
peration superintendent was a
different man than he is to day.
Then he issued order regarding
qualification of men about to en-
ter their employ that are not
thought of now. The age limit
and several other things that
have barred men from securing
positions are not considered now
by eastern firms or corporations
They must have men and they
must use them we'll to keep them
A few years ago the improved
machinery then coming into
general use and doing work that
previously many men had found
employment by doing, it was
said would cause idle men and
men would be out of work etc.
but that time has never arrived.
Last year a railroad operating
in this state desired to extend one
OF its branch lines. Their exper-
iencewith foreign labor from the
cities had been such that they
desired to pay more and secure
other kinds. They offered three
dollars per day and board, but
could not get the men they de-
sired and finally resorted to en-
ployment agencies in cities and
hired Interpreters. Hard times
or a panic caused by stringency
Oh the part ofwall steet concerns
would throw US back to the
cheap labor of a few years ago,
bot scarcity of men is doing
more for labor than labor unions
would ever be able to accom-
plish. The schools of the coun-
try are fitting the young men
for professional work. and
young men are advised not to
learn trade. The out come is
that colleges are turning out
doctors lawyers and minister up
on an an already fairly filled
field. In cities it is. men of this
class that tutn their cuffs and
wear eeIloloid collars to keep up
but the Young man
trade ,iCsen't Il I'VE to.

THE DUCK GROUP
Injunction Proceedings Institut-
ed Against R. B. Whittemore
to Prevent His Working
Property

Not little interest has been aroused
in the Lee district by reason of the in
junction proceedings instituted against
r. b. Whittemore, one of the prominent
brokers of Rhyolite, to prevent him from
working the Duck Group" of claims.
These claims We're purchased some
time ago, and the ground is regarded by
experts to be equal to the best mining
ground in the district sidelining as it
does the Hayseed and State Line
claims, as well as the Tulip property,
the latter also one of great promise,
owned by WhittemOre and associates.
The Tulip has a well defined ledge in
place, and The Herald man was present
when the ledge was found and sampled
from the groupings. The parties serv-
ing the injunction claim an interest in
the Duck group, but Mr. Whittemore
is smiling and happy, secure in the
thought that the trouble will not be Of
long duration, as the parties who claim
part ownership have very little interest
in the Ducks" The ground is very
valuable, and it will be to the interest
of all parties to effect a compromise
settlement speedily The Lee district

MARYELS OF WONDER MINING CAMP

1t was along about the middle of
April, 1906, that lone prospector, with
his grubstake and his three burros,
wandered into the Wonder country.
This man was Earl Dart, who has since
gained celebrity on account of his great
find. About nightfall one balmy spring
evening, at the base of what is now
Wonder mountain, he pitched his camp
and after cooking his frugal meal in
which the miners staple, "bacon and
BEANS" formed the piece de resistance
he ascended the mountain and staked
out claim just as dusk was falling
This claim he called the Stampede. In
the morning he packed his burros and
treked further toward the north. 1t is
always the case that where one pros
pector goes another will follow, and
several days later William Seymore,
Frank Schultz. Williams Mays and w.
F. Smith arrived from Fairview and
proceeded to prospect the side of the
mountain. They quickly noted a big
ledge that Cooked good" to them, and
they proceeded to stake out some
claims. They then went on their way
in search of other prospects, and a
month passed after they returned to
Fairview when Mays, who had the
ledge in his minds eye all of the in
tervening time, decided to come back.
Found $500 Ore
He picked out some very fine sam
pies and returned to Fairview, and
after the assays had been made the
riches of these specimens were found to
run" over 1900 to the ton. Under the
circumstances. as matter of course,
he was greatly excited, but, like all
prospectors, he Whispered the news Of
his great strike to his best friend, and
his friend, being in a communicative
mood. whispered to another friend; and
thus spread the news that has startled
the mining world in fact, it is strange
to think that the news could travel so
fast by word of mouth, and really it
seemed to permeate the ether like the
impulses of the wireless" and the
next day the rush was on.
Almost simultaneously Thomas
Stroud, who had been grubstaked by
Nick Darcy, started north from Fair
view, and finally staked out what is
now the Jack Pot" mine. He staked
out this group and many others and
then was forced TO return on account
of the scarcity of water. But he had
won, and won big; the dream of the
prospector in him had been realized,
for the Jack Pot" was sold month
later for $75O,OOO and Darcy and his

Stampede Begins in May
The stampede" started on the last
day of May, and by midnight the
mountain that had laid asleep for
countless ages, and upon which the
original discoveries of rich gold bear.
ing ore was made was dotted here
and there with prospectors and their
outfits. eagerly waiting for the cold
gray dawn to break, when they could
resume their feverish quest for the yell
low metal the pursuit of which has
caused civilization to spring UP as if
by magic upon desert places Then
the embryo camp was formed of little
tents that held all that stood between
the prospector and starvation.
In few days the country was staked
with stone monuments for many miles
around, and for days the gold hunters
poured through the hills and into the
Wonder country. and among others
who found fame and fortune were
Harry Rager, Frank Lamb and E. j.
Harkins.
John Wright, Clarence Barnum, Scott
Groo and A. B. Connolly were among
the first to arrive, and now this am
bilious crowd can count it's wealth into
the hundreds of thousands. Barnum
and Wright were fortunate and secured
a fifth interest each in the Spider and
Wasp for doing the location work, and
their holdings now are worth over
5000, 900 each.
Wonder ToWnsite
AS is always the case, upon the heels
of the lucky prospector came the busi-
ness men, and the townsite of Wonder
was located, and the rush was only a
week or SO old when C. K. Jarvis and
Harry Morris, seeing the possibility of
a great camp, offered $150,000 for the
original discovery, an unheard of sum
for ground that had lain dormant for
thousands cf years. William Seymore
was entirely too wise to part with his
holdings and decided that if the claim
was worth that to others it was equally
valuable to himself, and refused the
offer point blank, with the result that
three months later the original locators
received 100000 and 100000 shares of
stock for their holdings. The mine
has since become known to the world
as the Nevada Wonder, and today is
unquestionably the most marvellous and
sensational mine in the history of the
west.

Amalqamated Power Plans

The Amalgamated company is pre-
pairing to substitute electricity for
steam in many of it's mines, and also
in it's smelter at Anaconda The mines
are now installing equipment neces-
sary for the change. Many of the mine
pumps and air compressors, and the
concentrator at the smelter will be run
by electricity. The Missouri River
Power company, which furnishes the
power to the Amalgamated mines, is
enlarging it's plant and distributing
lines and will furnish the Amalgamated
mines with 1900 horse power in a few
months. The use of electricity will not
only mean a great saving to the Anal
gamated company, but will do away
with the constant danger of a forced
shut down by a coal shortage.

ITALYs pENATURED ALCOHOL.

Consul James E Dunning, of Milan, reports
that denatured alcohol is commonly used IN italy
for all ordinary purposes formerly requiring
grain alcohol and adds;
There has recently been heavy shortage IN
the Italian markets and a corresponding advance
in price from 412 TO cents pound at Whole-
sale or from II to IS to Is cents a quart retail
The short supply is said by the principal manu-
facturers to be due to the lack or residue from
the last beet sugar season and from the last
wine crop and to the extraordinarily hlsh price
of grains cause not mentioned by the Varl-
Gus experts who have been dealing with the
question, but which appears clear to this consul
late is the recent general strike In North ltaly,
during which the lack of gas for cooking was
made UP by the use of alcohol In the Milan
market during the strike, Notwithstanding Ihe
price of alcohol advanced rapidly during week
or more, the supply became completely ex-
hausted. It seems more probable that this extra
demand has had more TO do with the present
shortage than anything else, and this view ap-
pears TO be borne out by the statement just is-
sued by an authoritative trade journal that crop
reports indicate good supply of material Tor
dfstiIlation and early reduction in the price TO
the normal retail figure Of II cents quart
