FIREMEN OPPOSED
TO COMPROMISE
Head of Brotherhood Tells Arbitration
Board that Men Want
Uniform Wage.
COMPLETES SUM- MING u

| New York, April Nv. s. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, today
| told the arbitration board which has been
hearing evidence in the firemen's wage
| controversy that they didn't want to
! split any differences" Summing up the
| firemen's side of the case. it is asserted,
they were entitled to an increase in their
wages in proportion to their increased
| labor and that they would insist upon
uniform schedule of wages for all
roads. Whether or not a road was pros
porous should not be considered, he de-
clared, as the firemen performed his
work on a poor road just the same and
was entitled to the same remuneration
as a fireman on a prosperous -'oad
He stated that he and his associates
had planned sometime ago schedule of
wages based on the weight of the driving
wheels of the different types of locomo-
tives. Because of the absence of uni
formity in wages and the different bases
for calculating them on Eastern and
Western railroads, he stated, it was i'm
possible to compare the two schedules.
'Non-uniform wages make for cut
throat competition instead of clean-cut
rivalry" said Mr.. Carter.
The uniform anti-pass law for railroads
and the rules Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission regarding uniform re-
ports were mentioned by him with the
comment that 1.-The only way railroads
did not want uniformity was in wages"
Replying to question by Judge
Chambers about conditions in the South,
Carter said:
Down there the negro not only works
for the company. but is also the body
servant of the engineer. The firemen
are servile. When We pleaded with the
people of the South to help us to help
the firemen they replied that it was not
white mans job"
Carter completed his summing up to-
day and then Judge Chambers, as chair
man of the arbitration board, announced
that Elisha Lee as counsel for the rail-
roads would be permitted to sum up
their side tomorrow.
Both sides will be given three days
to submit and exchange briefs. Lee
stated that he would try to have his
brief in Carters hands by Monday |
morning. |

Big Ore in Climax.

Authentic reports from the Climax mines on the Hassayampa are to the effect that the cutting into of big body of high grade free milling ore has been determined on the 5o) foot level in No. raise, as the outcome of recent exploitation, under the manage ment of Willis A. Gates, consulting engineer.
 The machine drills are working on the property, and in addition to this important discovery, Mr. Gates states that sufficient ore has been exposed 10 keep the twenty stamps running for months ahead, and without taking in- to consideration the tonnage to be ex- tracted from future development. What the per ton value of the recent strike is, cannot be learned for the present, but that it is of high grade is the report in circulation among the miners employed The old mill that has been practically rebuilt since the Climax resumed few months ago, will begin dropping stamps as soon as weather conditions permit of taking in distillate. Also will the ten stamp mill purchased recently at the Hidden Treasure mine near Turkey be loaded and taken to the camp.
 The Climax is attracting very much attention in mining circles and it is freely admitted by mining men that it is destined to be very heavy pro, ducer of the yellow metal. Prescott Journal Miner.

Deficit in Nevada Consolidated.

The operations of the Nevada Con- solidated of Ely, Nevada, for the last quarter of 1912 shows deficit of 42,- 45OS after paying the extra dividend of about l,OOO,OOOS. Net earnings were about 3O0,O00$ less than for the same quarter in the two preceding years. The production was S,9S6,905 pounds of copper, against an average of about lS,000, ,0O0 for the other three quarters. The reduction was due to nearly a months idleness during the strike and the milling of lower grade ores.
 President Eccles in his reports. says: ''There was milled during the quarter 5l2,9SS tons of Nevada Consolidated ore, averaging LA per cent copper, of which AT, ,94S were from pits and 3D. 040 from Veteran mine. Grade vas below mine's average as a large low grade tonnage was mined from east side of Eureka pit, where material was of softer character and conditions better adapted for breaking for steam shovels.
 Que largely to disturbed foreign political situation, reduced sales of copper metal left us with abnormally large stock on hand unsold December 3l, 1912. In determining earnings for the quarter, said untold excess was valued at fifteen cents and normal ton mage on hand and unsold at l2 IA cents as heretofore. Since Decem Der 3l portion of the copper has been sold at prices in excess of valuation at which it was taken into accounts in determining earnings for the quar- ter. ."-Salt Lake Mining Review.

The Bond Election.

Last Tuesday the taxpayers voted on the issuance of bonds by Mohave county, and from the returns received we are lead to believe that the people are highly in favor of that measure.
 While only part of the vote is in we are able to say that the negative vote was practically nothing, although a smaller vote was cast than that at the election for court house bonds. This can readily be accounted for by the great storm that prevailed the day be- fore and the early morning hours. We give below the vote as far as received:

This week Mohave county received from the forest reserve the sum of 4.OOO$ on account of its share of timber sold from the Sitgreave forest, on the north side of the Colorado river. This money is supposed to go into the road and school funds of tho county, the government donating a percentage of timber sales for that purpose. With the opening up of the great forest on the north side of the Colorado river Mohaye county will yearly receive many thousands of dollars that can be used for the useful purposes to which it is dedicated by the government.

L. A. Cookery was in this week from Chloride, where he is looking after the sinking of shafts on the Pinkham mine. He is keeping this work going along with all possible dispatch and getting excellent results.
 M. N. Honeywell was in from Cerbat this week looking after business mat terS. He reports that he has con- pleted the assessment work on the Gold Bar mine and opened up a nice body of gold ore, In years gone by the Gold Bar produced some very rich gold ore that was worked through an arastra. There is no doubt that with proper development it would be- come nice producer of gold ore.
 B. K. Morse and k. I. Plomert, two we'll known mining engineers, have been looking over the mining country along the north end of the Wallapais and over into the Peacock range. They have seen number of promis- ing veins and believe that with small amount of work it is possible to de- velop few producing properties. Mir. Morse at one time was with Henry Mckay, at the c. O. D. mine. The gentlemen are looking over the county with view to getting a line on the mining situation and it is to be hoped taat they will succeed in land ing something good. They are all right and the people need them in the county.
 A prospector named Weddekind, who has been Investigating the buttes north of Wallapai Springs, about twenty miles east of Kingman, is said to have found something quite rich. The find consists of large number of stringers of quartz that unite in the grdironing of the buttes and at the points of conveyance show large punches of very rich gold ore. It is said to be something after the Yellow Astor mine, at Randsburg, California. Some work has been done on the To- cations. but not enough to prove up the value of the find. Weddekind also has found some very rich rock on a contiguous claim to the recent strike of Frost & Co.,, near Wallapai Springs. The American Metals M ines con- pany expect to equip its property in the Deluge Wash section with hoist ing plant and sink to a depth of 100 feet. Owing to the volume of water in this mine sinking with hand power has been slow, but with a holster it will be only matter of a month to get below the permanent water level and find the change of ore. At the 50 foot level the mine shows eight feet of clean ore, carrying values in gold, silver, copper and zinc. These values run better than 3OS to the ton. J. w. Cornelius is in Topeka, in which city the main office of the company is situated, where he is arranging the finances to meet the demands for the new work.
