OF pay checks made out the past three

mines will be a contribution of more
than S75, 600 by the Anaconda and
other mining companies to miners for

copper Is II cents or more per pound.
When the metal is selling for Is cents

to miners is to be So. IS per day, while
under Is cents per pound the scale is
to be So so per day.
In the month of January the average
selling price of copper was consider
ably under II cents per pound, which
would fix the miners wages at 49,. Is

''the removal from Office OF Assistant
Secretary Of the Interior Samuel
Adams and F. II. Newell and l.. c.
Hill, director and supervising en-
gineer, respectively of the reclamation

The report charges that Newell and

holders thereof "alone received at

Was there politics in it? The u Of

of amendments, that would permit
either one of the three to keep in the
running were voted down.
But what OF it? What odds to the

senators to put through with q rush
the wholesome proposition that there
be one, ~six-yesr term for president?
BY this mean support for the pro-
