said; yet with it all, those who had
been deluded by the socialistic rant
ings could not perceive much im-
provement in their own condition.
Although the spielers told them each
evening that they would win within
two weeks every day made it more
apparent that the Warren district
would never be dictated to by Cannon
Rawlings and those preaching the
same doctrine of continual strife.
Bitter feeling arose within the
ranks of the union itself, because of
the Misrepresentation that had been
made to the rank and file, and from
that time on it has been a continual
strain for the organizers to hold the
members in line. Dnring the past
couple of weeks developments in other
portions of the country, which have
materially curtailed the income of
the Western Federation of Miners
and probably prompted the officials
at Denver to notify the local organ
izers of cut in their per diem, have
figured largely. The calling off of
the strike by a majority vote was the
result.
One year ago the local companies
which had never had any trouble
with their employees, announced to
the public that they would not treat
with the Western Federation of
Miners which had been a source of
strife and discord wherever it was es-
tablished and the big majority of the
stood with the companies.
Today the same policy is being pur-
sued, regardless of whether the West
ern Federation strike is called off or
not, and every man who has wanted
to work for fair wages and under fair
has found employment. 1t
has only been those who would rather
earn their living by sowing the seeds
of discomfort who have profited by
the ill-fated strike, and the misguid-
ed men who followed their lead-have
paid the price.-Review.

The Pure Food Law

Secretary Wilson says: zone of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of
chloroform, opium, morphine, and
other habit forming drugs be stated
on the label of each bottle. The
manufa cturers of Chamberlain's S
Cough Remedy have always claimed
that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth of
this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest. but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general
use. For sale by all druggists.

Although it will not make the
slightest difference so far as the
Iorkiug of the local mines is concern
the calling off of the strike not
hly shows that throughout the en-
lire trouble the accounts published
n the Review were based on facts,
hnd that the bombastic statements
made from soapboxes by the organ
zers of the union, were nothing more
-han absurd attempts to win out on a
bluff.
A year ago in January the organi-
Esrs of the Western Federation of
Miners made their appearance in the
Warren district, although by a pom
Ilar vote only eight months before
Ithe miners of the district had deeFeed
that they wanted nothing to do with
this organization which has caused
strife and trouble in every section
wherein it has ever been established.
The organizers, talking at so much
per day, deluded a number of men
yorking in the local mines into join
tng the organization, and then think
ing that not only all of the miners,
but everyone else in camp would view
BIT in their light they called strike.
What the cause for the strike was
no one knew until the circulars pre-
pared by the committee were distrib-
'uted. Then it was learned. A more
absurd pretext was never heard of,
and met with well deserved scorn on
the part of the men.
The day on which the men we're to
strike, in answer to the call of the
committee of patriots, saw two-thirds
of the forces of the local mines going
on shift the same as usual, and then
the union press agent got to work.
Every evening the public was enter
tanned at the corner of Railroad and
brewery avenues by Messrs. Cannon,
Rawlings, ct al. by wonderful tales
n the powerless condition in which
he companies were, and the wonder
ul strides being made by the union.
Mother Jones, Eloquent Bro. Hickey
and others were imported at so much
per diem, to tell the men what they
ought to do. To the end it was the
same old tale, Twelve got 'em boys"
and to hear this same old sing-song a
number of men were paying monthly
dues.
The local mines were supposed to
be caving in, no ore was shipped,
everybody was in distress, so Cannon

Mitchell Mining Company Loses in I'm.
pOrtant Case

The case of the Mitchell Mining Co
VS.. J. G. Britt, A. T. Hammons and
the Globe National Bank to recover
a block of shares of the company paid
for property in the Globe district a
little over year ago came to trial
in the district court and although
only three witnesses were placed on
the stand by both sides, almost the
entire day was occupied with the
trial. The Mitchell company was re-
presented by Attorney J. L. Morri-
son of Bisbee, and Rawlins & Little
of Globe, while a. T. Ha1mens, who
defended the suit was represented by
Stoneman & Jacobs
Over year ago when the Mitchells
entered this district through the pur-
chase of considerable mining proper
ty, made through j. C. Britt and
others, part of the payment for prop
erty was made in stock of the Nit
chell company, which was then SELL
ing on the market for about 81 a
share. When the ''big thing" came
off last spring, the company attempt
ed to recover the stock paid out and
a temporary injunction was secured,
tying up about 5000 shares which
we're held by the Globe National Bank
for a loan. According to reports
Britt had "gone south" with the
lions share of the stock and 1000 of
the shares in the bank belonged to
Mr.. Hammons.
In the complaint the company al
leges that Britt had made the deal
through false misrepresentation and
that the stock was acquired by fraud.
The answer contended that the COM
pany had consummatedt the deal after
its own experts had reported on the
property. Tie answer also contended
that Mr.. Hammons was not respon-
sible for any misrepresentation made
by Britt to the Mitchells.
Mr.. Morrison. who assisted in put
ting through the deal and who is at
torney for the company, took the
stand and c. w. McHenry, who was
ooPSi ihNOhOCHl IOl LuC ulICu CHS III
GdndHea, was the only other witness
of the plaintiff. Mr.. Hammons~ was
the sole witness for the defense.
Judge Nave decided in favor of the
defendant and dissolved the injunc-
tion so far as Mr.. Hammons was con-
cerned. In his decision the court held !
that the evidence showed that the |
had sent two experts to
Globe to examine the property before
the deal was closed, which disposed |
of the allegation that the deal was
made because of Misrepresentation |
by the promoter and that if the COM
pany made a mistake it was itself to |
blame. A decision given otherwise,
said the court, would result in the !
courts being crowded by cases in |
which relief is sought for business
blunders.-Globe Belt.

Rise in Copper Expected to Occur First
Of Coming Year.
(From Engineer ing and Mining Journal, De
cember IA

(From Engineer ing and Mining Journal, De-
cember l4)
1t is expected by some, who are in a
good position to judge, that soon
after the end of the year a sharp rise
in the value of copper will take place,
the reason for this view being that at
about that time the output of the re-
fineries will begin to show the cur
tailment at the mines in October and
November. Also by that time the
currency difficulty will doubtless have
been overcome. There is no question
that the accumulation of stocks was
greatly reduced by the heavy sales at
the end of October, although since
then the current production has in
creased them again to some extent.
If a further rise takes place there
is little reason to anticipate that it
will be either high or of long dura-
tion, for the reasons that () Ameri-
can industry has entered upon period
of recession and reduced demand,
as is now recognized, and ~ the day
of large production of cheap copper
from Bingham, Ely and elsewhere is
close at hand.
1t is time for producers to forget
the abnormally high prices of the
last two years and make up their
minds to carry on their business in a
rational way. We mean that the
producers who were able to make a
profit out of copper that cost Is cents
to produce ought to thank their
lucky stars for this ability while it
lasted, but ought not to draw such
long faces because they cannot al
ways do so. Even now the price of
copper is fairly high, as witness the
annual average for lake for ten years |

Information comes from a reliable
source that the Vulture mine will be
operated again on very large scale,
and that very soon. This comes as
piece of good news that will please
everybody in this section and many
people in other sections. The famous
old mine has been tied up in litiga-
tion for long time, so long, in fact
that the new announcement that the
litigation has ended is enough. How
ever, the source from whence comes
the information is reliable, and comes
direct from H. M. Love, of Chicago.
The history of the Vulture mine is
well known and, eliminating the
troubles of the old mine, its history
will be repeated. There are many
promising properties in the Vulture
district that are liable to make a
record some of these days. That
there is big gold deposit aside from
the Vulture mine, seems to be the
opinion of most mining men, and that
there will be several good camps in
that vicinity some of these days is
the prediction of many.-Tucson Cit

w. M. STRIKE OFF AT BISBEE
y Close Vote the Remaining Handful Of
A5itatOrs Decide to End the Strike

The strike in Bisbee has been de-
red off. Such was the decision ar
d at Dec. 26 at special meeting
he local branch of the Western
ucration of Miners. 1t was by the
jsest vote possible that the motion
is carried, the final count showing
rat there were twenty-four in favor
calling off the strike and twenty
hree against it.
Robert Randall, member of the
executive board of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners was present at the
meeting, having arrived in the city
Sunday. His presence was in response
to a stand of the executive board
that they would not decide themselves
the matter of calling off the strike
in Bisbee, but would leave it to a vote
# the members of the Bisbee local.
The meeting was held in the Shat
uclo building and was an open one.
bout three hours were spent in dis
uSsing the two sides of the question
Jefore the vote was put. There was
practically no personal feeling, and
after discussion the men voted by roll
call. After a decision had been
cached, an address was made to the
men by Robert Randell, the member
of the executive board.
He stated that the men had voted
to call off the strike and had done so
in the belief that it was the best for
the organization, and that the union
would continue to exist here.

 Please ask the district attorney when he talks about these letters how on earth they could throw any light on the sanity or insanity of this defendant. Keep that issue clearly in your minds, gentlemen of the jury, and demand the proof of the ulSttlcL attorney that the law says ne must produce to remove all reasonable doubt as to the insanity of the young man who stands before you.

P1LLoRY AND DucK1Ne POST.

Several Birmingham bridge players the present state of affairs.
 Women view it as a ridiculous situa- tion; men look at it differently. Those who do not play bridge are glad that the bridge playing set is under dis cussion.
 q expect the pillory and the ducking post next" said a well known woman, "and then we will be back in the mid dle ages" If this restriction keeps up l suppose we shall have to even suo- init our costumes to the proper au- thorities before we can be seen on the streets.
 q should think that people should distinguish between self-respecttag folk and criminals.
 Now, we have played bridge for years at the Country and Souther l clubs, and at the Hil1man. They arc big, spacious places to play in, and there has been no agitation as to the legality of using these places just IS we would play in our private houses. I do not know what has brought on this present agitation and threats of dis turbance, but I think that those in auth ority could use their energies in some other direction that would ac- comp1ish some real good to the com munity. The people who play cards at the clubs represent the best element in Birmingham, and I think that they | would resent very highly to be classed with criminals"
 Another we'll known woman said that
