SnVER-LEAD
STRIKE MADE TN
LANDER COUNTY

c. E. Coe. the jeweler. has received
samples of iead-silver ore taken from a
rich strike made recently by his brother
T. b. Coe. in Lander county. near Cortez-
to the letter detailing the
the strike was made in an open
three and one-half feet deep. while
Mr.. Coe was prospecting. At this depth,
he cut the top of a rich ore shoot az
feet wide. carrying lead and silver in
liberal mount. Six feet OF white por-
phyry was also encountered at this
depth. carrying black s~ulphurets of
silver. The strike is of more than or
binary interest because IL lies on the
same great fault between lime and
quartzite and against the old winburn
mine which carries the same ores and Is
in the same formation. The mine has
paid dividends of over s3s. coo. 900 and is
still working on about the 2,5oo-foot
level. taking out ores running as high as
1000 ounces in silver. $50 in gold and
more or less lead. The property upon
which the strike was made belongs
to c. f. and T. b. Coe and J. Young. and
consists of six claims. upon which pros

vein from 25 to so feet wide with a
heavy large ore showing. partly exposed
and has been tramped ever by hundreds
during the past forty years. During
this period. the winburn and other rich
nearby properties have been worked al
most continuously.
The property was discovered by T. B.
Coe two years ago. through the activity
of a badger. who in working his way un-
foreground threw out a piece Of the ore.
The ground was located and active work
was begun upon the property last
October. Assays rave been made from
the ores uncovered. but those familiar
with the character of silvc. ores pecu-
liar to the mining district in which the
new discovery is located. estimate the
values as around $500 to $500 per ton.

A review Of the metal market Of 1907
shows some interesting features. 1t APP
pears tina the slump did not AFFECT all
the metals to the same degree. Silver
for instance lost only 1851 per cent OF
its high value: copper on the other hand
slumped OF SO per cent. Tin, lead and
spelter each lost from 40 to Al per cent.
Why silver should nave shown such
great strength is hard to understand.
There has yet been no currency legisla-
ton that would materially affect the
price, so it's strength must come from a
very steady demand from the arts which
just about keeps pace with the supply.
The variations In copper are easily un-
derstood. An unusual temporary de-
mand, together possibly with some mar
ket manipulation, put the price excep-
tionally high: then, when the demand
broke, the price fell exceptionally low,
following the oft-quoted habit OF the
pendulum. 1t is pleasing to note that
all metal prices are now on the up grade.

The recent situation in Goldheid,
where the Western Federation OF Miners
on the one hand. and the mine owners
on the other, we're at loggerheads. raised
the question of the right of contract. as
well as the right of organization and as
ISOLATION. Those who combatted the
miners union asserted that, while 1t was
a union in name, 1t was not a union TO
all intents and purposes, but was OPP
posed to anything resembling law ana
order. The union men laid claim to the
unfair attitude of the mine owners, who.
as they declared. were opposed to the
right of organization.
The difficulties of maintaining a per-
manent contract between capital and
labor in a new mining region Will be-
come apparent to any one who witnesses
the evolution of facilities, in the cost OF
living. and the like. This evolvement or
conditions may benefit the producers or
ore. and at the same time benefit the
men who work in the mines. II the
ordinary cost of board Is $40 a week. the
miner cannot work for SO a shift. But
If the cost is gradually reduced to half.
the miner can save money at SO a shift.
In Goldfeld. the cost of transportation
and reducing the ore is gradually being
lowered. The cost of b has kept up
about the same, while the cost OF living
has beer lowered. In W or three years
more, entirely different conditions VIII
prevail. Thus. in matters of contract.
long time agreements are very apt to be
broken by one side or the other. This
was in evidence in Butte. where the
miners were paid in accordance with the
market for metallic copper. While the
price was up. their wages were CORE
spondingly high. but when the price
dropped the wage came down with 1t.

THE CONTRACT PRIVILEGE

The questions involved are always very
apt to bring hard feelings. n these
lead to strikes. lockouts. riots and gen.
eral disorder.
Whether the labor employed is or
ganized or II. 8. the supply OF that labor
will depend on something beyond con-
tracts, and that is the desirability of the
camp as a place to work. The more ex-
perienced miners are always prone to
leave for new fields. and only attractive
offers will hold them. This must place
the mine owners of any district on a
basis where negotiations are carried on
in accordance with the actual needs Of
labor and the visible supply.-Daily

THE ODOR OF SAhClTY.
A French Writer'S Theory of How "

DR.. Georges Dumas is the author OF
an article in the Revue de Paris on
THE Odor of Sanctity." The writer
accepts as true the numerous reported
Instances Of saints and mystics of the
Catholic church whose bodies after
death or during moments of ecstasy
emitted peculiarly pleasing odors Of
various kinds. Then men and women
with whom such legends deal, argues
DIR. Dumas, were neurasthenes. and it
is not impossible that the aroma Of
sanctity which surrounded them was
the product of strictly physiological
and chemical changes common to all
men, but present in highly intensified
form in subjects who. so to speak.
