Mir. Skccn has just returned from visit to the Skeen-Letch- ner properties and tells of the de- IvclOpmcnts. A crOss-cut tunnel taps the vein at i20 feet. Then a drift has been run along the vein. At point where a rich orc chute was encountered, an up- Iralsc was started, which is now about completed to the surface, a distance of 120 feet. The up- raise reveals a vein from 3 to feet in width carrying values which mill about $40 to the ton. On the floor of the tunnel, where the chute was found, a winzc has been sunk ten feet, when water came in and prevent ed fu' 'hcr work for the time be- ing. The ore taken from the winze is higher grade than that expos cd in inc upraiSc. It mills from $50 to $80 per ton, and the vein has widened so that il exceeds in width the winzc.
 Parallcling tllc original discOv- cry is a blind vein, which is about three feet in width. It. lies furth- CT down the mountain and about 100 feet from the larger vein. A chute has been found in thiS blind vein which carries high values, averaging about $i0 per ton. X tunnel is now being driven on the eastern extremity, working to- ward the chute. which will be en- counlcrrd in POO feet, giving a depth of 25O feet. The larger vein may also be tapped from this tun- mel by driving it further into the mountain, toward the north.
 The stamp mill has closed down temporarily, pending the arrival IOf new die and shoes, but the development is going right ahead. A new house for inc accOmmo- daiiOn of inc miners iS the latest improvement.

SENATOR NELSON uNLoAos.

Misunderstanding the discussion
on the postoffice appropriation bill in
the senate on August 10, Senator Nelson
of Minnesota came out in the open
against the American Federation of La
Dor. The effusions of the senator were
emitted while discussing the amend
ment adopted by the house, clearly de-
fining the right of postal employees to
form or join labor organizations of their
own selection. The postoffice depart
ment is opposed to- postal employees af-
filiating with the American Federation
of Labor, and where organizations have
been formed under the Federation the
postofice department has sought out and
has victimized the members.
The amendment adopted by the house
protects the inalienable right of the pos
tai employees to join any organization
they see fit, but Senator Nelson, which
was not unexpected, took slam at the
Federation entirely ignoring the posi-
ton taken by the American Federation
of Labor in declaring that the last re-
sort of employees of private business
concerns to redress their grievances was
the strike, but that the last resort OF
government employees to redress griev-
ances was legislation" In part, Senator
Nelson said:
'I think senators will realize. on re-
fiectiOn, what calamity IL Woulu pe u
the postal service if organizations of
postal employees affiliated with some
radical outside labor organization should
90 on strike and hold up the postoffice
department There is no use minclng
these matters; we might as well talk
plainly. l am in favor of the railway
postal employees, many of whom are my
friends and acquaintances, being al
lowed. without restriction. to appeal to
congress collectively or to the members
of congress individually or to go to the
officials of the department, or to the
chief executive in any form or manner
they like. and to form organizations
such as they now have within the lines
of the service, but we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that there are outside
agitators who are anxious to draw the
postal employees into organizations some
thing like the American Federation oil
Labor, and we ought to protect them
from any such calamity as that-a ca.
lamity to both them and to the postal
service"
