MORE CONCLUSIONS DRAWN BY
ST HOPKINS

Mother, what do you think of
thisR' said ST Hawkins as he glanced
up from a close reading of the latest
census report, Zone of the hundreds
sent to him by his representative in
eongress). According to these fig
ures we farmers have dropped to sec
ond place as employers of labor.
8 In 1910 there were 6,340,357 farms
in the United States, valued, with
their improvements, at 34,6S1 ,507 600,
and during the same year the farmers
paid out in wages $645,612, 900. That
reads well, but in this report from the
interstate commerce commission / find
that in the same year the railroads Of
the United States paid for labor the
enormous sum of $1,143, ,725, 500, nearly
double what the farmers paid for their
labor in the same year.
"My opinion has been, when rail
road officials said that they were the
greatest employers of labor, and that
therefore, injury to the railroads was
bound to effect business interests of
the whole country, that they We're
talking for effect. But with these
figures before me, proving beyond
doubt thaat with an army of LOB 42o
employees and payroll nearly twice
that of all the farmers in the country,
| am forced to alter that opinion con
siderable. -
"Land Sakesl" exclaimed Mrs.
Hawkins, bringing her mathematical
talents quickly into play, "these rail
road fellows get an average of nearly
500 a year; no wonder theyy can
wear blue suits and brass buttons.
Why, that is about three times as much
as we pay our hired man, John, and he
works thirteen hours every day of the
year, except on Fourth of July and
circus day. Maybe if the railroads
made their men work like the farmers
do, the farmers would not have to take
second place as the greatest emploers
Of labor.

said ST, as he bent closer to the cen
sus report, "that some of these rail
road snaps running trains only work
one-third or two-thirds of the time.

RICH STRIKE ON

News comes in from Nevada that an

believed that good copper ore will be
found ON the footwall unless the cop-

it will be found deeper down at water
level, where a zone of secondary en-
richment will probably be discovered.
The iron formation is similar to
that in the Centennial, which is about
half mile to the west, and is charac

property, crawled into one of the
caves for a distance of about fortyl
feet, where it narrowed up Mr.. Rick
ard went up to the shaft this afternoon
to inspect the find, from which he
hopes much. Expert geologists who
have made an examination of the big
Hill north of town are agreed that the
indications are the best possible for
the making of a big mine and the
Calumet people believe they have the
cream of the area. The shaft will be
continued down for some depth, as it
was the plan of AL Myers, who is also
interested in the company, to get
down 500 feet and drift north under
the HILL By this plan many Of the
claims owned by the company would
be cut between 1900 and 1000 feet
deep.

Northern hotel, and any men who
would be employed would make their
