STRIKE OF TELEGRAP'HERS
in PARIS Is SOON ENDED
One Thousand Return to Work and
Virtual Surrender Appears
Certain

PARIS, March 22.-In spite OF minor
delays the adjustment of the strike OF
the French telegraphers and postmen
that has disorganized the business life
of France for a week or more is con-
sidered virtually in sight.
Fully 1000 employees returned to work
this morning. A meeting, attended by
5000 strikers, was held this morning.
when it was decided that the recon-
inendations of the strike committee IN
the matter of settlement constituted
a surrender to the government because
the resignation of NJ. Slmyan, under
secretary of posts and telegraphs, has
not yet been secured.
M. Simyan has, however, already
been practically eliminated. He had
no share in the recent negotiations
and in the future Minister Of Public
Works Barthou will treat directly with
Populations from the employees asso-
Citations. Furthermore the government
agrees to regard the whole affair as a
"wave of folly" and to wipe the in
discretions off the slate; in other
words, to punish no one.
The newspapers of Paris are review
ing the strike movement as If 1t was
over. The Socialist papers claim a
victory; the government organs are
gratified at the end of the unfortunate
misunderstanding, while the indepen-
dent conservative press says that the
incident furnishes an eloquent lesson
OF the dangerous state of Socialism
toward which France Is drifting.

CHICAGO'S HEALTH OFFICE
BOOSTS FOR SANiTARIUM
Problem of Science az Well as OF HUI
manltarlanlsm Declared to
Be Involved

CHICAGO, March 22.-The regular
bulletin of the health department this
week is largely devoted to plea to
voters in behalf of the proposed mu-
nicipal tuberculosis sanitarium.
Outside of the more important ques-
ton of humanitarianism it is declared
that there is the problem of finance
that the city has to cope with In caring
for consumptives.
Prof. James w. Glover Of the Uni
yersity of Michigan has estimated that
the average earning capacity of a resi-
dent of Chicago is 500 year, and at
that rate, figuring natural lifetime OF
a wage Garner, the deaths from con-
sumption in 1908 in this city, taking
men only into account, caused a loss
of $1,367,511.
This loss, it is contended. is either
maintained or exceeded each year.
Nov, bear this in mind" says the
health bulletin. This one and one
third millions a year represents only
what the community loses What Is
the family loss? A man Is worth $loO
to the city; add to this what he is
worth as the head of a family to that
family: what he is worth as working
head in a growing business to that
business Will $10,000,000 touch it?"

impossible to Estimate Values

PHONEIX, March 22.-That the
strike is the richest ever made in Ari-
IONA is the opinion of all who have
seen the ore, some of 1t actually being
one-half of the precious metal, but to
give an average value as to it's rich
ness is impossible, being in some cases
a mass of small nuggets running up to
the size of a pea, but more generally
appearing as wire gold, so closely en-
meshed that a specimen when broken
can be worked backward and forward
like a hinge. Four assays made by
Edwin Pepper, the Salome assayer, ran
respectively $33S,510 $117,734, 1854, 900
and $179,400. Traces Of copper and sill
yer were also shown.
The Bonanza property was bonded
for 100000 last Friday by party be-
lieved to represent the Mitchells of the
Clara Consolidated. The first payment
of $4,000 was due today, and one Of
the conditions is that all of the ore
that has been taken out goes to the
purchaser. It is estimated that this
will total about $4,000, although $500
worth of specimens were given away
by the owners to friends during the
first two days of the excitement. Some
were also stolen, as the camp is a mile
distant from the mine, and to prevent
further pilfering the hole was covered
Tuesday
Nose of the locations have been made
by local people along the line of the A.
& G. railroad, but the real rush from
the outside did not begin until Wednes-
day, when about twenty-five gold hunt
ers arrived at Salome on the afternoon
train.
