STOP THE INJUSTICE.

practice that should be stopped has been
brought to the attention of this paper. One day
last week twenty men were shipped by the Dixon
Employment Agency of Salt Lake City to this
place to work material men at one OF the
grading camps engaged in the construction of the
branch line of railroad from the Southern Paci-
fc to Metropolis These men were told before
leaving Salt Lake City that they would have
employment for three months, and were pro-
vded with passes for the going trip
They arrived at Tulasco and were put to
work Four days later, after the arrival of
gang of Greeks, they were all discharged and
the Greeks were put in their places. The twenty
men brought from Salt Lake were for the most
part Americans and white men, and the Greeks
only succeeded them because they would labor
a little cheaper. After the men were discharged,
they asked for passes back to Salt Lake City
and this was denied them by the construction
superintendent Thusly, they had but four days
work and were left stranded over two hundred
miles from the place from whence they started
and where three months work had been prom
sed them by the Dixon Employment Agency.
Such methods as these unjust and should
be resented by every laborng in the coun-
try AS little as could have been done would
have been to have furnished the men with trans
portatlon back to the place from whence they
came They were discharged for no deficiency
of their own--merely because the undesirable
foreigners would work a little cheaper, and
either the employment agency, the construction
company or the Southern Pacific company, for

YERINGToN COPPER CAMP.

One OF the copper camps now beng brought
into bearing, the progress OF which is being
watched with interest is that at Yerington, Ne
vada. railroad the Copper Belt, is being built
to connect the various properties with the
.lnelter now under construction at Wakuska, gu
the Nevada & California road, and with the
completion of the road and smelter the latter
part Of this year. the properties will be ready
to go upon a producing basis.
The principal mines are the Mason Valley
and the Nevada Douglas, though there are
number of others coming up rapidly and with
bright prospects of developing into producers
with further effort. The bright ores, as a whole
given averaging around 45 per cent cop
per- though the camp is credited with possessing
considerable high grade, much of the ore opened
running higher than the average given.
At the present time, reports say, the Mason
Valley and the Nevada Douglas each have =
100000 tons of ore blocked out, and the Mason
Valley has in addition $4,000 tons of ore on the
dump ready to be shipped to the smelter This
ore, it is stated, will average better than 4 per
cent, and much OF the ore opened can go direct
to the smelter, without concentration.
There have recently been some rumors of
litigation to be instituted against the Wabuska
or Mason Valley smelter by the farmers in the
valley, but apparently this threat of trouble is
not being considered as serious. 1t is stated
that the prevailing winds are away from the
farming lands and further that the ores are
free from arsenic, the poisonous element caus
ing damage at other points
The smelter work is being pushed steadily
and the belief is that everything will be in
working order by the first Of the year, if not
before-Daily Mining Record.

LESSONS OF THE GRAFT CASES.

Patrick Calhoun, TREY Ford and Others on the
order Of the court of appeals, justice has suffer

shown the power it Yields in high places. Ruef
alone Of all the rich scoundrels the hgher-ups
who debaunched and plundered San francisco,
is paying the penalty for the crimes that cover
ed the name of a fair city with infamy the
world around 1t is depressing again to have
thrust in our faces this fresh reminder of the
stranglehold of plutocracy on machinery of
justice.
But there is, nevertheless, much in the long
and miserable drama now brought to an end to
encourage the supporters of truth, right and the
square deal. Directly out of it grew the redemp-
ton of California from Infamous political

The graft trials introduced to California sew
pral of the nobest characters in it's history. AS
it drew aside the curtain behind which big bust
ness was working disaster to the fabric of the
state, it revealed too, the heartening fact that
when courageous leaders for the right come for
ward the people will follow them. They rallied
to Hiram johnson last year largely because he
had stepped bravely into the breach when Heney
was shot at the post of duty.
1t was johnson S intellectual skill and phys-
cal and moral courage that without doubt pre-
vented the escape of Ruef, as the other rich
Scamps have found their way to safety
through the technical openings in the law. The
people will never forget that splendid act of
johnson when he stepped forward at his pecu-
mary sacrifice and physical peril, in dark, dis
couraging hour They did not forget it in the
campaign when the gang he had fought heaped
calumny on him. The answer of the people was
one of the most remarkable tributes ever given
to public man
The graft trials also served to show Califor-
mia the big moral and mental caliber of Francis
J. lIeney, and to prove again in his that
the people appreciate leaders of his kind. 1t

hands That honor should be nothing less than

been rumors that Mr. Perkins would not long

should resign Governor Johnson could do nc
more popular act than promptly to give Mr.
Perkins commission into the hands of Heney.

LIBERALITY IN COAL LAW.

The coal land law is uquestionably the most
satisfactory of the present mineral laws, in that
it permits an adequate valuation of the deposits
The present coal land law, however has one seri
Gus defect, which should be remedied if leasing
law is not enacted The restriction of the area
that may legally be acquired to maximum
of 100 acres for an individual and $40 acres
for an association is not in accord with good
mining practice law designed to promote
practical utilization of coal deposits whether the
system contemplates sale or lease must provide
for the holding of unit large enough to Justify
the opening and equipment of modern mine
and TO permit its operation on an economical
scale. Without such provision for commercial
operation too great an advantage is given to the
land grant railroads and the large coal com
panies that are already in possession of consider
able areas of land containing high-grade coal =

STIRRED BY DIVORCE PERIL.

If the protect against the marriage Of New
York millionaire to an 18-year-od girl will
arouse the Protestant churches of the country to
the evil of divorce and the causes of unhappy
marriages, we may be able to get something
approaching uniformity of law relative to the
union of the sexes. 1t is not necessary that the
Catholic church now assert itself, for its rigid
discipline is well known.
The good people of all churches who know
that the family alter is the first and fundamental
unit of society and that the ordinance of matri-
mony should be sacred, may well become alarm
ed at this late day over the growing menace
and join in the demand for its restriction
The churches, acting together, might be able
to exert such an influence that the question of
uniform marriage and divorce laws would be
taken up by the next conference of governors.
At this time it seems that the remedy must be
worked out in the states separately, but in each
there should be a sufficiently large proportion of
the population devoted TO the sanctity of the
home to insure success.
The ease with which Colonel AstOr will over

he never would speak.
"As for Cayley himself, he made no

it, and that was all. There wasn't
any real corroborative evidence
against him, SO the court-martial dis
