FINDS CONDITIONS IN
OKLAHOMA SATISFACTORY
GensTaI Disposition to Respect
Female and Child Labor
Statutes

That the labor laws Of oklahoma are
being well enforced Is the statement
made by Labor Commissioner Charles
u, Daugherty III his annual report just
issued Mr. Daugherty states that
practically three iourths of his time
is consumed in looking after the en-
forcement of these laws, but that there
has been very little trouble in that
respect except in connection with the
eight-hou law for public work, whicl
also required payment of the current
wage rate.
Complaints of that sort have usual
ly been given a personal investigation
by the commissioner, who reports
that since the passage of the law 3lt
of them have been handled altogeth
er, affecting nearly 25,00O common Ia
borers, who received from $l75 tc
$500 per day During the past year
the department has handled more than
100 eases, located In fifty or more cit
les of the states. The trouble was
over wages has involved anywhere
from to cents per hour.
Female and Child Labor.
Conditions regarding female and
child labor are reported as very sat
isiactory. While there has been de
cided increase in the number of fe
males employed, they seem to have
held their own as to wages and hours
while inspections by the labor depart
ment have provided better sanitary
conditions and better safeguarding ol
machinery. More children are alsc
employed but they are for the mos
part carrier bory around newspaper
offices, a large number OF children
having been removed from institutions
where employed ia violation Of The
law.
Cheap Foreign Labor.
The subject OF cheap foeign labor
represented especially by Mexican In
borers, is given considerable space
and several incidents cited in regard
to the poor treatment accorded Is
these laborers, who are paid from $ll
to $l.25 per day The section of tht
constitution prohibiting the establish
ment of state immigration bureau !:
referred to with approval and in thai
connection Mr. Daueherty says:
This department has perslstentls
refused TO issue employment bureau
licenses to firms who indicated thai
they we're operating with view Of
importing foreign labor OF any char
acter."
The commissioner reports seyera
prosecutions commenced for violation.
of the eight-hour law, which have eth
er been dropped or are stlll pending
The one prosecution for bringing in la
borers without informing them of th'
existence OF a strike was also droppet
for lack of evidence The one cas'
involving the service letter law q

appeal from Oklahoma county, the coI

Geo. Gibson Glad to Seek Shade
Under Carson Trees

George Gibson, who has been spend
ing several months in Goldheld, has
returned to this city. Mr.. Gilson,. on
being asked how the conditions out
south were, stated:
'''It's mighty hot out that way.
The weather seems warmer out there
on account of lack of shade As far
as the town of Goldheld is concerned
it is settling down to "a steady basis.
The town was built to accommodate
about twenty thousand people and
the population has simmered down to
about five or six thousand Natur-
ally this leaves a long line Of unoc
cupied stores and homes. The mines
however, are making record returns.
Those who are left seem to have
money enough for all purposes and
with the hurrah gone the town is Il
pretty good business proposition for
those who were able to stick.

Divorce Mill

The divorce mill grinds slowly but

as much noise as the machinery at
Wahoe County, but the results are
just as satisfactory. Yesterday Judge
Langan was busy with other people,
domestic troubles and the following
divorces we're granted:
Lillian Greenberg of New York,

band Meyer Greenberg. The divorce
was granted on the grounds of cru

the lady had suffered bodily harm, as
she had been punched, her clothes
torn from her and vile names used.

Lyon County
Shy Politically

Lyon Connty's political fight this
year promises TO be made largely at
the General election, judgiag from the
small number of nominating petitions
filed with the County Clerk. and as
usual most of the candidates will
make their run independently of par
ty designation. The one big issue is
the county seat and court house mat
ter, and the candidate who attempts
to dodge it, will simply have to keep
out of sight. 1t is clear that the
fight will be taken to the legislature
and the main battle of the campaign
will be made on the county commits
sionership and for members of the
Assembly. The papers to be filed
thus far include those OF Manuel
King for long term commissioner,
and ]. G. Coffin for short term. Clark
Guild for County Recorder, and for
the Assembly, Messrs. Stickney and
Fallon. 'Dick" Randall will make
his fight for Sheriff independent,
against Tom Mayne. who will receive
the Republican nomination. County
Commissioner Charles Martin Coun-
ty Clerk Melarkey and District At
torney Miller will seek election by
the Independent route. With Mason

other sections OF the county about

there was one OF the largest clean
ups in the history of the lode. 1t is
stated that the mine produced over
twenty-five million dollars. It made
the Jones people rich and filled many
purse. Nearly a thousand men
were employed for number of years
and lately there seemed that there
was a chance for revival of the ia
nous property This has been a set
back but with the fortitude always
exhibited by the Comstock people it
is safe TO predict new and better
plant on the surface of the old mine.
Two shafts were sunk on the
ground and depth OF 200 feet at
tained. 1t is the story among old
miners that rich ore was in the bot
tom OF the shaft when the water
drove them out.
A number OF Carson people wit
messed the fire From what they say
1t was one OF the spectacular sights
worth travelling far to see. On ac-
count Of the height and size of the
plant it made fire that lit the whole
district and could be seen for miles.
No serious underground fire is
from the destruction of
the hoist. The shaft acts as an up
cast flue Before the fire had cooled
down miners were directed to the
shaft i'll order to clear away debris
down. Liberal, doses OF water were
applied to the shaft and as far as
known little damage has been sus-
tanned.

GOLD HILL HAS FIRE
BELCHER HOIST IN ASHES
Top Equipment of Famous Mine is
Completely Destroyed

Last night at about II o'clock fire
was discovered in the Belcher hoist
ing plant at the mine in Gold Hill.
The watchman sent in a hurry call
which summoned the fire department
from Virginia City and Gold Hill. BY
the time the fire boys were on the
scene it was impossible to save the
huge building and its expensive hoist
ing machinery.
For a time the fire threatened to
destroy all of the buildings in the
neighborhood and the entire atten-
ton OF the department was called to
save the adjoining structures. Sew
eral times the mansion erected by
Senator J. p. Jones was afre and on
ly by concentrated work was it saved
from ruin.
During the progress OF the fire
fiat car loaded with mine timber
caught The fire soon burned away
the brake beams and the car with its
load of fire started down the track.
1t was ditched at the nearest switch
and the car and its flaming contents
rolled down the cmbankment, where
the best part of the timber was saved.
The ties along the railroad track were
also ahame several times and this al
SO kept the fire fighters busy.
BY the burning of the Bclcher plant
one of the largest and best equipped
.hoists on the lode has been wiped out
First and last score OF great hoist
ing buildings and contents have been
consumed by flames in Virginia City
and Gold Hill The destruction Of the
Relcher plant is decided set back
Tor time at least, to the develop
ment of the property. According to
statements the Belcher is one of the
few mines on the Divide that was
making its way to the front. Recent !
ly work has been prosecuted on the |
upper levels of the property and ore
has been extracted that has been pay
ing the way to greater work AT the
time of the fire there was only day
shift working, consequently there
were no lives lost and only few per
sonal belongings of the miners in the |
change rooms were destroyed.
Those in charge of the work gave
out the statement that while the fire
would temporarily shu down opera
tions, yet they believed that new
equipment probably electric, will be
installed Immediately. The loss is !
figured in the neighborhood Of fifty
thousand dollars. with small insur
ance-. A number of the other deep ,
mines on the Comstock are using .
electric power for hoisting and com
pressors. As the power passes over :
or near the Belcher works it will be
simple matter to put the juice to
work in the place Of the destroyed
steam plant.
The Belcher property is one OF the
famous producers of the Gold Hill
section of mines. During the seven
ties the Jones people secured control
of the property. After working for
some time with little results they un-
covered tremendous body of high
grade ore. The stock rose from al
most nothing to fancy figures and
