WESTERN FEDERATION MAY
APPLY FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY

DENVER, July 2l-Thc report of
the executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners was made to
the convention to-day. and reviews
conditions in the mining fields in
which the federation is active In
Nevada, Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia conditions are improving. the
report states, but Nevada is still
suffering from wildcatters. Most of
the work is being done in the pro-
ducing properties.
The report recommends an agi-
tation for a Federal law wiping out
the "wildcatter," who, it states, ex-
ploits a prospect and leaves the min
er to hold the bag. Mining condi-
tions are stagnant in California ex,
cept in the larger camps. The rail

ignoring the S-hour law. The re-
port suggests the federation use its
influence TO have a 6-hour law for
mines passed in Nevada. Montana
and Arizona, because OF the intense
heat in the workings. 1t asserts
that there is more ice used in the
mines underground in Nevada than
on the surface, because of the in.
tense heat; the miners work with
ice packed in rubber boots Some
times they are compelled to stand in
water with a temperature of 13O de-
grees. The executive committee asks
that one days pay of each one union
miner be contributed to an organiza-
ton fund, and another similar sum
TO the defense fund.

NATIONAL is
GREAT CAMP
$4,000 q Day is Being Pro.
duced by Stall Lease

More than $4,000 day is the pro
duction of gold on the Stall lease at
National According to President
Pe-ton of the National Mining Com
pany of Nevada, who was in Winnie
mucca Monday shipping $3.50 in
bullion, Stalls during the seven days
previous to his leaving National lift
ed from the bottom of the shaft be-
low the 4OO-foot level $l25,O0O in
high-grade ore and $4,000 worth Of
second and third-class ore. This does
not account for the National Mining
company's own production.
Last Sunday, according to report
from the camp, 200 pounds of high
grade ore was taken out of the Stall
lease. Make an estimate of this days
production for yourself. keeping in
mind that this high-grade is worth
from SIS to SIS per pound-with $50
as fair average, as the ore is even
richer as depth is attained.
Last Monday the high-grade mill
on the Stall lease, which is running
day and night, was 100000 worth OF
ore behind the production of high
grade by this wonderful lease.
This is wonderful production out
of hole 4x8 in the clear below the
level of this lease. MFR. Pei
ton also brought the grating infor-
nation that the Bankers lease on Ma
tional ground, adjoining the National
Defiance, had struck ore. This is
about $50 feet from the National De-
fiance operations.

PREDICTS A
NEW BOOM
Nevada Holds Forth Many New
Promises in q Mining Way

Captain George w. Thatcher, :
prominent Nevada mining man, has
been talking to reporter OF the Den
yer Republican, and is very enthuias s.
tic in his remarks. predicting for the
near future greater boom than that
which followed the discovery of To.
nopah and Goldfield. He states that
Nevada is better Off now than at any
time in its history. owing to the eli
mination OF the wildcatter. Mining.
as practiced now. is legitimate. in
stead of being carnival Of stock sell
ling promoters. Nevada simply asks
for merely enough to develop her
mines.
"A virgin territory. whose mineral
possibilities cannot be exaggerated"
said Captain Thatcher. will be
thrown open to an army of prospect
ors within the next two years. 1t
lies in that vast stretch OF desert be-
tween Ely, in the southwestern part
of the state. and Rhyolite in the
southwest. None but the most dar-
ing prospectors have penetrated into
this vast waste because water supply
has never been fully ascertained. and
to venture into the desert hundred
miles distant from known scorces of
water and feed requires an outlay
that takes into consideration every
possible emergency and may arise:
However, line of railroad from Ely
to Tonopah has been thoroughly sur
veyed and practically graded. and
construction work will begin from
both Tonopah and Ely not later than
the first OF September
