Speaking of the open letter of
Senator Fulton calling upon Heney

the prosecutor said:
MANY of the facts against Full

He said he did not believe the

said, the president had received him

farm WAGES

WAGES WILL FALL-PLOWING

The present labor situation indi-
Gates material reduction in wages
for farm help" said H. l.. Hubbard
of the Tom Beall creek section, who
is business visitor in the city to-
day.
THE wages last year at the be-
ginning of spring plowing was
$1.25 per day, and it is practically
assured that not more than 81 will
be paid this year. Harvest wages
will be about 25 to 80 per cent
lower than last year, and there is
no indication of q scarcity of farm
hands.
"Plowing is now commencing in
the Tom Bea1l creek country" con-
tinued Mr.. Hubbard, "and while this
is about a month earlier than plow-
ing usually begins, it is believed the
work can be carried on without ma
terial interruption. | have received
three applications from men who
are desirous of working until March
for their board, and while we insist
upon regular daily wage, these ap-
plications are suggestive of the sur
plus of men in the country who are
anxious to secure employment on
the farms"
Mr. Hubbard reports conditions
most favorable for good crops and
states the fall-sown grain has never
looked better at this season of the
year.

pierce CAMP
BE PRODUCER
ACTIVITIES IN ALL PROPERTIES
CONFIDENCE is GAINING
GROUND-DREDGE PROPOSE
TION MAKES GREAT SHOWING

Mining operations are active in
the Pierce district, and aside from a
large amount of assessment work,
the development of number of
properties is being carried on
Throughout the winter" said Mining
Engineer j. H. Jones, who returned
yesterday from a business visit to
tn Pierce district.
''The camp is destined to become
one of the greatest gold-proddcing
regions of the West, and as soon
as the first mine is made others will
follow in a short time. The people
who have the properties have the
fullest confidence in the district, and
even though the faw is now pending
that will suspend the assessment
work for this year, few of the prop
erty holders are waiting to take ad-
vantage of such an act. The finan-
cial situation will limit the scope of
the development, but work now be-
ing performed is of such a character
as will eventually prove the value of
the properties and the absence of
greater capital at this time can only
delav the making of the camp.
'The dredge proposition is at
tracing much attention, and while
no person in the camp other than
the manager has any positive
knowledge as to the amount of gold
taken out during the past nine
months, conservative estimate
would place this value at not less
than $75, and the operating ex-
penses have not exceeded $4,000.
"The Sunrise people are driving
a crosscut tunnel on the old San
Diego property that will cut the San
Diego, Fleetwood and at least three
other veins. This tunnel Will be
about 400 fet in length.
"The Ozark company is working
shift on the Wild Rose crosscut
tunnel and on the Gold Dollar claim.
A blind vein 20 feet wide has been
tapped by the Wild Rose vein
and some good-looking ore taken
out. M. A. Ellis has completed his
work on the Frenchie property on
, French mountain, and it is reported
some fine ore has been uncovered on

work is being carried on undr the

Chinese Finish
NOTED TONG WAR
REACH PEACE TERMS IN SAN
FRANCISCO AFTER SEVEN
YEARS OF BLooDSHED-TROU.
BILE OVER CHINESE GIRL

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.---Tha
bloodiest' of tong wars that this
country has seen, which originated
seven years ago over Chinese
girl, and in which more than SO per-
sons have been killed and more than
double that number wounded, was
declared off at meeting of the
various tongs held yesterday at the
rooms of the Six Companies in this
city.
The trouble started over the sale
of Wan Len, slave girl, to Lui Ng,
a member of the Ping Kun tong, by
All Wong, member of the Hop Sing
tong. Lui Ng paid $4,000 for Wan
Len, but All Wong declared that this
was not fun payment. AS Lui Ng
refused to pay more, war was declar-
ed between the Ping Kun tong and
the Hop Sings.
The first clash was in Clay street
and resulted in seven being Killed
and 10 wounded, and since that time
the fighting has been continuous.
Lately the Hop Sings, in their de-
sire to get back the money alleged
to be due their tong, held up fan
tan game at Los Angeles and in the
fracas two members of the Bo Ons,
a totally different and inoffensive
tong, were shot by the Hop Sings,
with the result that he fight became
general and every tong was impli-
Gated
Seeing that the war was liable to
spread too far, the presidents of the
companies called a meeting last
Thursday to settle 1t and the upshot
of it was that Lui Ng was awarded
the girl and the Hop Sings declared
to be in the wrong. A jury of the
See Yups seven years ago rendered
a similar verdict.
