mechanics. The steel, powder and other supplies used are those which
are found by constant testing to give the best results. The managers
believe in doing everything possible to increase the efficiency of the
workers. Under the conditions obtaining a miner should be able, and
is able, to do a good days work i'll eight hours.
AS a matter of fact there is good reason to believe that few of the
miners m company account really worked more than eight hours under
the old regulations. The workmen i'll a large mine are i'll small groups
so far apart that no reasonably economical system of watching the men
as is done on surface work is possible. Only occasionally are the work
es visited BY the SHIFT bosses. They must be judged by the work done
between visits. While frequent complaints are made regarding the
treatment BY bosses, it must be evident that no such surveillance as is
practised bv foremen on surface work. such as railroad construction, is
possible. There are abundant opportunities for loafng. 1t would be
remarkable if the men did not take advantage of such opportunities. The
experience OF mine managers has proven that mine workers ire much
like other men.
1t is easy to conclude therefore that the results to be obtained
under the new regulations depend largely on the spirit in which the men
accept the change. In proportion as they work a larger percentage of
the time they are supposed to work, the total work done in the shorter
shift will approach the old figures. The systematic records of the
Michigan copper mining companies should prove very interesting in
this connection.
While the strike seems to have failed, and has, owing to the
methods of those responsible for it, been a disgrace to organized labor,
it has doubtless FASTENED the adoption of new policies which should
make the life of the copper miner more attractive.

d.. 5. LLEWELLYN RESUMES
WORK ON PLACER CLAIMS

After a several months shut
down during the winter, ID. S. Lew
ellyn has resumed his placer mining
operations at Round Mountain, and
the indications are hat he will en-
JOY a profitable season. Last year
he washed out a fortune, and, as
the water supply this year will be
greater than then, allowing sluicing
on a greater scale, he expects to
have a large force of miners en-
ployed than formerly. When once
his hydraulic giants are busy. his
payroll will carry about forty names.
1t is understood that Mr.. Lew
ellyn may also do some quartz min
ing this year at Round Mountain.
With the coming of spring, other
leasers are planning to resume opera
tons and the northern camp will in
all probability enjoy an era of pros
perity,-Manhattan Post.

GETTING GOLD FROM

that was carted there and deposited
from the mint when that institution
was working to capacity. The rainy

showers, formed lakes of water in

The Eight Hour Shift

In referring to the Michigan copper miners strike editorialy, in its
current issue, the Canadian Mining Journal, in part, says:
Since December l.. 1913, the underground employees of the Mich
igan copper mining companies have been required to work only eight
hours each day. \ bill providing Tor the eighthour shift was under
discussion last summer; but was not passed by the state legislature
Some time later. however. after the Western Federation strike was de
Clared. the mine managers announced that they were willing to grant
the demand for an eight hour day. They had had this under serious
consideration for some time. and might have granted it without a strike
if they had not found that it is much more difficult ito put the ~eghthour
rule in force than might be expected. There can be little doubt that the
strike hastened the determination of the mine managers to try the eN
pertinent.
"The Michigan copper mines are. by those who know, regarded as
mines in which the conditions are verv favorable for good work. The
ventilation. in spite of the depth of the mines. is good. The machines
are usually the best obtainatle and are kept in good req air by skilled

in the store.
According to the manager of the store.
B. B. Eitelman. who was a resident OF
Kansas for many years, the Topeka Com

He DenOunces That Cooked Up
Interview With Medley.

Major w. L. Brown OF ktngman to-
day declared that the men responsible
for the report that he would with
draw from the Dernderaff4 senatorial
race were violating one " the Ten
Commandments and that the story is
in the same class with the report that
he would seek the gubernatorial
nomination and that Governor Hodges
would try for the senatorial nominal
ton. The report of Browns with
drawal from the race was printed in
connection with an authorized inter-
view by Congressman Medley in To-
peka this week.
In his denial of the statement that
he will withdraw from the race, Brown
takes a free swing at Congressman
Neeley's egotism by remarking that
he is not one of a triumvirate COM
posed of himself. the Lord and the
president. Then, lest there be uncer-
tainty about the matter, Brown makes
1t clear that whoever circulated the
news of his withdrawal had violated
one of the commandments.

The other day we went ashore, ten

the American flag off our boat and

The admiral certainly did rave.
He sent word TO the Mexicans TO Offef
an apology and fire salute OF twenty

would blow the city of Tampico up.
Two Mexican officers came aboard and
apologized but they would not dre
