Exceeding even it's former best rec
ords, the Wasp No. mine on Yellow
Creek. near Deadwood, s. D., has
established new mark for econom-
ical treatment at profit of low-grade
gold ores. The latter part of May
the Wasp handled daily over 500 tons
of ore. The mine is running on ore
that averages less than So a ton gold,
the heads running $1.S5, and yet pays
monthly dividends of cent share,
yielding a profit of $4,000 a month.
The company has in sight over eight
years of the present loW-grade gold
ore and is preparing to open a body of
ore that averages better than So ton,
which will make it's profits still larger.
The ore is handled by the open-cut

Terms tentatively agreed upon by
a committee of manufacturers of CON-
mon brick and representatives of the
$500 men who went on strike in
Chicago May l will be submitted to
the strikers for referendum vote.
A similar vote will be taken by the
manufacturers. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the Brick
makers District Council. When the
men struck they demanded an in
crease in the wage scale of from 2
cents to cents an hour. They had
been getting from 33 cents to 50A
cents an hour, and the manufacturers
sought to reduce this scale to the one
in force four years ago. 1t was de-
cided at a confer ence to submit to
both the men and manufacturers a
settlement calling for the scale in
force last year, with slight modifica-
tions. The working hours are to re-
main the same-eight hours a day
but for some classes of work the pay
is reduced slightly. It is expected the
terms will be accepted, and that the
tieup in the building industry, which
has involved some $4,000 men and
halted work costing S40,000,000 will
soon come to an end.
