Mining, Smelters s Stock Quotations
APACHE GROUP is
MAKING PROGRESS

Mr.. r. N. Leatherwood, one of
the original owners of the Apache
group of claims located in the Old
Hat mining district, which is in the
country on the north side of the
Santa Catalina mountains, was in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Leatherwood
says that the group is now under OPP
ton and that a force of % men
are steadily at work on the property.
When he left there three feet Of
snow covered the ground, which is
one Of the heaviest falls in that sec
ton for many years.
The group is being developed I'M
der the direction of Superintendent
Cassett and the option on the
claims is held by the Western De
velopment company. It has ResIi
worked in a desultory sort of fash
ion for the past quarter OF a cen
fury, but the intention is now to
push the work consistently and per-
manently. It is very rich in copper
and bears some silver and gold ore.

BRYAN IN SPRINGFIELD.

SPRINGFIELD Ill, Feb. 22.-Wil-
liam ]. Bryan visited Springfield to
day to confer with his supporters
among the democrats of Illinois. AL
though ostensibly rally of the Bryan
clubs of the state and held without
any special political significance, it is
believed the presence of so many Bry-
an followers will be taken advantage
Of for an important conference Mr.
Bryan is reported to be not altogether
satisfied with the way things have
been allowed to drift along in Illinois
The hostility of National Committee
man Roger c. Sullivan toward Bryan
and Organism is well known, but re-
Gently other matters have come up to
ruff1e the surface The suggestion of
Governor Johnson of Minnesota for
the democratic presidential nomina-
ton has been received in Illinois with
a cordially not to the liking of the
BRYAN people. The Swedish element is
large and influential in this state ana
though the majority of the Swedish
American voters are republicans II Is
believed they would rally strongly to
the support of Governor johnson if
his nomination appeared to be a pos
siblity. The connection between Mr..
Bryan's visit to Illinois and the john
son boom is strengthened, so far as
superstition goes. by the fact that the
Nebraska leader goes from Illinois to
Kansas, where he is to confer with
Kansas democratic leaders tomorrow.
Kansas, like Illinois, is the home of
large colonies of Swedish-Americans

The copper market opened with
strong tone and generally higher, re-
fiecting the recovery in the metal in
London and stronger New York
market. Calumet & Arizona, North
Butte. Butte Coalition, Copper Range
and Amalgamated were thes most ac-
tive. Most of the business in our
market continues to be in odd lots
and there was no pressure to sell.
There was a fair demand for sew
eral of the curbs, with Shattuck,
DEM, and Superior & Pittsburg the
favo,ites. Greene Cananea shows
an advance of s1.00 for the day. The
balance Of the list showed very lit
tie activity. Tomorrow being hol-

TO MUZZLE
THE PRESS
Senator Penrose's Bill Would Pro-
vide a Press Censorship--BIow
Aimed at Labor and Independent
Papers.

One more move has been made
to establish press censorship in
this country. Senator Penrose, of
Hennsylvania, has introduced Il bill
which seeks to place in the hands
OF the postmaster general absolute
authority to exclude from the
mails whatever publication that he
chooses.
Penrose's bill provides that sec
ton 1898 of the Revised Statutes
be, and the same is hereby, amend-
ed by adding: Sand when any
issue OF any periodical has been
declared nom -mailable by the Post
office Department. the periodical
may be excluded from second class
privileges at the discretion of the
postmaster general
''The section Of the revised stat
utes amended by the bill related
to obscene books, pamphlets,
papers or other matter. But the
amendment is not confined to such
publlcatlons; it covers all publi-
cations, without reference to whet-
her they contain obscene or indie
cent matter. 1t gives the post
master general arbitrary power
over the public press of the United
StateS.''

About this time of the year the

And the Labor Argus wishes to
call the attention of its readers to
a few facts in connection with
these ''unsight .unseen' concerns,
and also to the business men of
Charleston.
The mail order firm sends YOU

Trades Unionists of the Country
May be Driven to Take that
Course for Self Protection.

Union men all over the country
nave an abiding faith in the power
OF their union to combat the en-
ployers. They believe, in most
instances, the union is the most
logical weapon for the workers to
use, and are opposed to every other
method Of advancement proposed
to them. But let the employers,
with their injunctions, court de-
clslons and corrupt minions of the
law dispel this aJlusion, and the
Who'll" force of the working class
movement will be directed along

just rs quick as the employers
of labor drive them to it, the
workers will engage in politics and
then they will begin to make some
headway. I'VE welcome the local
onslaughter of the "union busters,n -
not because we wish to see the
unions destroyed, or the employers
defeated, but because we are CON
hdent that only by joint agree
ment conditions, and by the same
token we believe it to be the ulti-
mate destiny of labor to rule the

ROAD
TO TRAVEL.
There Has Been No Royal Pathway
to Success in the Labor Move
ment--Sacritices and Honest
Endeavors of the Loyal Few.

Like everything of human en-
deavor. there is no royal road to
success in the labor movement.
Success is spelled only through ap-
plication. through effort, through
sacrifice. There will come times
when it appears that all the en-,
deavOr is useless. Mistakes NAV
be made, honest failures will be
nlisinterpretcd, minor lapses will be
magniiied. But it is only as these
are overcome, as the barriers are
surmounted, that success is at
tanned.
That the road traversed in the
labor movement is a rough one.
that possibly less is offered to those
who labor in the cause than is to
be found in other fields, is natural.

tablished customs. 1t breaches a
doctrine opposed to special privil-

the accepted views handed down

Those who enuuciate its doctrine

and extremists. 1t is their duty

MINERS WIDOWS
TO BE EVICTED.
The Unfortunate Monongah Wi
dows and Orphans Served With
Notices to Vacate by Fairmont
Coal Co.

The following dispatch was sent
out from Fairmont last week - Mrs.
Chas. Patterson was sent from
days ago by the Monongah relip #
committee to distribute the small
fund raised there for the women
and children who suffered the loss
of husbands and fathers in the eX-
plOSiOn at the mines nearly three
months ago. The fund for distri-
button was only S1S3.4 but it is
believed it afforded more relief to
the victims of the disaster than
any fund yet distributed. Mrs.
Patterson took the money and
placed it in the tiny hands of the
babies born since the explosion
Four babies whose fathers were
killed came into the world the day
and night preceding Mrs. Patter-
sons visit, and in every one OF
these homes, and in every home
where Il birth had occurred after
the explosion, she left a small sum
of money for the immediate needs
of the mother and children. The
relief thus given was prompt and
genuine, aud will prevent much
suffering. No distribution of the
large fund of over 100000 h :
yet been made, and the families
have been living on allowances OF
50 % week. Furthermore. they
must v2cate the company'S houses
the 1st of April. aud many of them
