Cleaning White Paint.

Hot water and soap give a yellowish
tinge to white paint. To avoid this
make lather Of hot water and a mild
pure white soap. and use It after it be-

P. J. Sullivan has been removed from the office of deputy collector of customs at Yuma under charges of not having handled the funds in his charge in d proper manner.

HiIdreth Indictment Causes Surprise.

The indictment of Fen s. Hildreth, by the federal grand jury in session in Phoenix last week, for alleged mis- appropriation of money while re- ceiver of the United States land office, was made public. Mr.. Hil- dreth is not in custody, but was in formed by Marshal Daniels to appear before the court. Two indictments were found, for the difference of $50.
 G. P. Bullard and Judge A. c. Baker have been retained as counsel for Mr. Hildreth, and when seen by a Gazette reporter regarding the case, stated that they had nothing to say except that their client was innocent.
 On account of the popularity of MT. Htldreth in Phoenix, the case has created a sensation. It's early beginnings are said to date back to last spring, when, as receiver of the land office, he was temporarily sus- pended, pending an investigation of the affairs and books of the office. Three inspectors came to Phoenix and went over the accounts, and, fol- lowing their recommendation, MT. Hildreth was reinstated and eXoner- ated. It developed, according to the investigation, that the cash was long over S10O, and some minor discrepan- cies of a few dollars were stated to be errors in bookkeeping. Friends of MT. Hildreth stated that he has strong letters of commendation from the department and government officials of high standing for the dis charge of the duties of the office. weeks ago MT. Hildreth re- sig-ed his position and entered into a with L. $. Thompson in the law business.
 Anent Mr. Hildreth's career, it will be remembered that he was a mem- ber of the Rough Riders and was the first to reach the side of Colonel J. H. McClintock when he was wounded in the engagement at Las Guasimas, Cuba. Afterward he was four years register of the land office at Prescott and was four years receiver in Phoe- nix. MT. Hildreth was also speed at the last territorial fair.
 The $50 shortage is so small that it ought not be even insinuated that Mir. Hildreth was dishonest.

far in advance of what they would be under union scale. These conditions should inspire every business man in- terested with confidence in the stability of the present prosperous conditions.
 It is freely admitted, and it is a fact, that a strike, if successful in closing the mines for any length of time would paralyze business in every town in southern Arizona, and bring suffering and poverty to thousands of men, women and children now happy and contented, and this alone would make meu pause in a course of de- struction did any desire really exist to cause trouble. But, if the fact that every laboring condition (wages, hours, surrounding conditions, promptness of pay, etc.) is satisfac- tory, is not a sufficient guarantee against d possible strike, those timid business men who profess such fear Tn their business dealings should take confidence in the strength of the companies operating in the district. Those with knowledge of labor conditions in the southwest are well aware of the fact that the Copper | Queen and C. & A. companies, oper- ating at Bisbee, could put in between 5000 and 1000 men at work in their mines within two weeks from the call, and that they are too strong, in every way, for strike to affect them beyond few days of slight embarrassment. The companies are further strengthened by the paying of wages, voluntarily, far in advance of what union scale would be after even a successful strike.
 And it must be remembered, all the time, that union men declare wages hours and conditions satisfactory and union leaders positively deny any and all strike rumors.
 In face of these conditions al strike rumors should be repudiated as false on their face.

Union Scale Means Lower Wages; KO
 Danger of Strike.

A correspondent of the Fl Paso Times writes the following from Bis bee to that paper.
 The reports being circulated in Bisbee, Douglas and Fl PasO of a pro- posed strike of members of the West ern Federation of Miners are posi- lively denied by union men in a posi- tiop to know, and this denial is pup ported by the fact that so far as officials of any of the companies operating at Bisbee know there is absolutely no dissatisfaction among their men. Every union man spoken to says there is no intention of strik- ing, because there is no benefit to be derived from strike, and a careful investigation of conditions has re- suited in such a showing as fully sup ports these union men in their denials of the strike rumor.
 The scale of wages paid in Bisbee principal operating company in the district, is on d basis of eight hours work, as follows:
 Miners, trammers. muckers and all men gong underground, $350 per shift: first motion engineers, 8 per shift; twO-motion engineers, S4.50 per shift: shaft men, S4: timbermen, S4.
 A union man points out the fact that miners are paid more than in all similar camps with like conditions, with the shortest hours of labor ever demanded by organized labor in any mining country. If the company con- fined itself to union scale the wages of trammerS, muckerS and other underground men would be re duced from 50 cents to Sl a shift, and as the majority of men employed in the mines of the company would be the sufferers from a regular scale there is not going to be any strike.
 The actual conditions as to wages and hours are as given above, and should forever dispose of strike The only possible excuse for a strike is d desire to unionizc the mines, which, according to the men is not desired by them as long as the wages paid ithe majority of the mcD working in the mine are

 The valuation given on the Copper Queen company's property on No vember l, 1908, exclusive of mines, is placed at S15,S9O, ,35974, of which S4,974 ,866.77 is invested in the plant. The liabilities on that date were S1, ,275, ,573.4O.
 The Moctezuma Copper company, which included the mines, mill and town of NaCOzari, Sonora, produced for the last five years 5, ,S5S, ,751 pounds of copper and the net earn ings for that period, while the mine was still in a state of development, were S3,6I7, ,295. The company has s, ,046, ,3S4.32 invested in plant, other assets of S944, ,663.OS and liabilities of s347. .22l22.
 The Detroit Copper Mining con- pany of Arizona produced during the last five years S6, ,247 ,8S9 pounds of copper and earned B, 467, ,S1OS1. For the past eleven months the company has produced 2l 300, 900 pounds of cop per as against IS 0OO,O0O pounds for all of 1907. Exclusive of mines the company's assets are invested in plant S2, l5S, lO6, other assets S2, ,934,- 465.97 and liabilities Sl49 ,S7S.4S.
 The Stag Canon Fuel company owns the equity in the Dawson Fuel hi nf coal land, and other coal lands adja cent to the Dawson, the combined properties consisting of 3S,7lS acres, in addition to surface plants. The present six mines opened. up are equipped to produce a total of 120,. 900 tons of coal per month, though at present only about 90.000 tons are be- ing mined. Last February the out put was only fl ,6SS tons. The com. pany also owns coking plant of 55C ovens with a capacity of 27,000 tons per month. The total net earnings of the company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908 were $2S3, 942 .61 Since coming into possession of these properties the company has expended on permanent improvements almost two and a half millions, The valu, ation of the company's property or November l, last, exclusive of mines is placed at S3,975, ,76O.42 and liabili. ties &, ,3SS, ,492. .96.
 A summary of the assets of the four companiss, exclusive of mines as of November 1, 1908 shows a total of BPS, ,949, 73953 and liabilities $4,16l,. l66O6.
 With the total assets not including the mines and the liabilities given taken into consideration with the amount of stock in the new corpor- ation. little figuring shows that the rich mines of the company, both cop per and coal, will go into the new company at valuation of but lit tie over twenty millions or to be ex- act 20,2I1 ,426.53. In view of this it can be safely predicted that the stock of the new company when once placed on the market will be hard to obtain at any figure. The stock is closely held and it is doubtful if but little of it will find its way into the open market.
