THE EIGHT HOUR
LAW FOR MINERS.
Full Text of the Act Passed by
The Last legislature.

We herein publish the full text of
the eight hour law for miners and all
engaged in underground operations,
which was passed by the Legislature,
and has been approved by the
governor, and will become operative
from and after sixty days from its
approval. The law has been the sub
iect of considerable discussion, and
not a little Misunderstanding. 1t
was reported at first that all employees
of mines would be brought within
the scope of the eight hour day.
This view is not borne out by the
text. Surface men are not included.
1t applies only to those employed in
underground work or tunneling.
Smeltermen are given the benefit of
eight hours per day, but that will
not affect those engaged in ohlori-
nation works.
Section l. That the period of en-
ployment for all persons who are en-
played or engaged in work in under
ground mines in search of minerals,
whether base or precious, or who are
engaged in such underground mines
for other purposes, or who are en-
ployed or engaged in other under
ground workings whether for the pur-
pose of tunnelIng, making excavations
or to accomplish any other purpose
or design, or who are employed in
shelters and other Institutions for
the reduction or refining of ores or
metals, shall not exceed eight hours
within any twenty four hours, and
the hours of employment in such en-
ployment or work day, shall be con-
secutive. excluding, however, any
intermission of time for lunch or
meals; provided that, in the csc Of
emergency where life or property is
in imminent danger, the period
may be a longer time during the
continuance OF the exigenoy, or
emergency.
Sec. .. Any person who shall vio-
late any provision of this act, and
any person who as foreman, manager,
director or officers of corporation.
or as the employer or superior officer
of any person, shall command, per-
suade or allow any person to violate
any provision of this act, shall be
guilty of m isdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be punished by fine
of not less than fifty dollars $500 or
more than three hundred dollars
$4,000, or by Imprisonment of not
more than three months. And the
COURT shall have discretion to impose
both fine and impr isonment as here
in provided.
Sec 3. All acts and parts of acts
in consistent with this act have here
by repealed.

Goes Into Business In Stockton

James Hamilton. well-known resi-
dent of the eastern portion of the
county, left Sunday last for Stockton.
he has purchased one-half interest
in the Hunter street livery stable in
that city, and has left to assume
his share in conduct of the bust
ness. This is the stable which George
Murphy was interested in up to
about year ago, when he sold his
half interest to A. Marsino of Vol
cano. Now James Hamilton has pur-
chased the interest of the other part
ner. and together the two former re-
sidents of Amador county intend
hereafter to carry on the business.
Both are careful business men. steady,
reliable, and industrious. The bust
ness is in thriving condition, the
stable is centrally located, the city is
growing apace, and everything points
the enterprisIng proprietors will do
we'll in their new field of labor. The
Ledger hopes that their fondest
antioipations of success will be more
than realized.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
It is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.

The following communication from
the William NJ. Roylance company of
Provo to Edward A. Mosely, secretary
OF the interstate commerce commission
at Washington, is self explanatory:
We desire to enter complaint against
the Wells-Fargo Express company for
overcharging us in the weight per crate
on strawberries. To illustrate: The
Wells-FarSo advertise q rate OF 81 per
hundred weight In 1000 pound lots, Provo
TO Denver and Colorado common points,
They would ship twenty boxes of apples;
which weigh about 1000 pounds, and
only charge us this hundred
weight rate, but in shipping Strawberries
they will not take them at actual
weight.
They say they have an estimated
weight OF thirty three pounds per crate
on strawberries. which l think Is about
correct where what is called the Leslie
crate Is used This Leslie" crate, how
ever. is not used at all in Utah. We
have a special crate that We use alto
gether in Utah. called the 'doublc-deck.
which weighs from twenty three pounds
to tventy-seven pounds, or an average
of about twenty-five pounds per crate

weight. We have billed them at actual
weight, but they have invariably put the
charges upon them on the besis or thir-
three pounds. In other words, they
charge us for eight pounds per crate
more than they carry. If we ship, forty
crates OF strawberries to Denver (Which
weigh 1000 pounds only) they would
charge us for 1920 pounds: and as q
justification they claim they have a
published estimated weight per crate
of thirty three pounds each for straw
berries. and that, therefore, they could
not permit us to ship our Strawberries
on the actual weight Of twenty-fiY five
pounds per crate.
Seems to me this arbitrary rule Is vc:y
unreasonable and is not according To
their published tariff rate per hundred
weight at all. We have tried to settle
this matter with the Wells Fargo offi-
cals but they arbitrarily overrule us and
say they will not accept these shipments
except on their advertised weight per
crate, as stated above. We are, there
fore. taking this matter up with you and
would respectfully urge that you give
this matter early consideration. so that
we can get It properly adjusted before our
season commences which is about June
10, as we will have a good many thou
sand crates OF berries for shipment. We
are very anxious that this matter be
settled before the shipping season COM

DON'T BE BALD
ONE OF OUR READERS TELLS HOW
SHE OBTAINED A MARVELLOUS
GROWTH OF HAIR BY THE USE
OF A SIMPLE HOME REMEDY
AFTER HAIR SPECIALISTS
AND ToNICS HAD ALL
FAILED.

I had what most people would call a
beautiful head of golden hair priced it
most highly. Suddenly it began to come
out very rapidly, and at times I had
intense itching of the scalp. Physicians
and hair specialists said my case was
one of dandruf germs. hair microbes,
etc, but nothing that they gave me did
my hair seemed TO come out even faster,
and I was now fearful lest 1 should be-
come entirely bald. In my despair a
friend told me of an Ecuador herb
which he said would positively grow
hair on any head where the hair roots
were not entirely gone, and he said the
natives of the country where 1T grew
were famous for their beautiful long
hair. Upon medical advice / combined
this herb with Bay Rum and Menthol
Crystals and Immediately began its use,
In three application it entirely stopped
the intense itching Of my scalp and in
very short time it not only stopped
my falling hair, but / noticed an abund
ance of new hair coming in, In less
than ono month my hair was longer,
thicker and more beautiful than ever,
All due to this marvellous hair grow
ing herb. A lady to whom / gave the
she says it made her hair grow five
inches IN less than a month. Doctors to
whom l have shown it say it is the only
thing which will actually grow new
hair, therefore l think the public ought
to have it. At first I thought / would
keep it secret and sell the secret,
but when / think how I suffered and
how badly / needed it and how hun
dreds of others must need it the same
as / do, feel ought to give it to the
world.
Therefore I authorize this paper to
publish the formula. which is as fol.
/ lows: Bay Rum OF. Lavona de Com
posee, 9 OF. Menthol Crystals l DIR. To
kalon Perfume one to two teaspoonfuls.
Ask your druggist for an OF. bottle
containing 6 OF. of Bay Rum, then put
in the Menthol Crystals and the Per

Of Lavona de Composee let it stand six
TO eight hours and add the remainder of

sealed bottle, as this preparation con
tains the juice Of the Ecuador herb men

Apply the preparation night and

properly used it will soon produce most
astonishing results. Be careful not to
get it on the face or any part of the
body where you do not want to produce
hair.
