Miami Miners HaUe Returned To Work Contented Although
 Their Strike Demands Failed
Rank and File of Men RePudiate False Leadership Of Agitaors and Resume Operations Under Wage Scale
 Suggested to Miami District by Old Dominion Go.

MIAMI, Jan. 25.-ln spite of the fact that the demands upon which they based their strike action were rejected, the nearly two thousand miners and mill men in the Miami district have returned to work and today the afairs at the properties of the Miami and Inspiration were running as smoothly as if the bad counsel Of strike leaders had not prevailed temporarily Among the rank and file of miners, the opinion prevails that a mistake was made in calling a strike.
 When the scale was reduced in the Miami district following the out break of the European war from $8.75 to $3.42l-2 per day, the miners knew that the cut was imperatiy and that the companies were adopt ing as liberal a policy as possible Rn effort to provide work for the men The regular scale prevailing prior to the war was based on the prevailing price of copper that is. $3.5O per day when copper sold for al least thirteen cents; $3.75 per day for fifteen cent copper, and s4 per day for copper at eighteen cents or above The scale prevailing when conditions were upset by the war was $375 per day.
 Agitators in the Miami district seized an occasion presented by frac- tional recovery Of prices to make a demand for a return to the S3.75 scale The injustice of the proposal closed the door for negotiations be- tween General Manager Gottsberger. of Miami General Manager Mills. of Inspiration, and tNe miners. Not only were the demands rejected by the mine managers but the incident was considered closed as long as the miners continued to listen to the false teachings of the agitators
 The status of the case remained unchanged until the old Dominion company, following it's policy of deal ing with conditions in accordance with true business principles, an nounced an increase in the scale be- cause of a slight improvement in the metal market The company had previously announced that it would, of its own accord, increase wages just as soon as a raise was possible Complying with this policy. it pub lished the following schedule to take effect February 1: $3.s0 per day for thirteen cent copper; S3.65 per day for fourteen ceIt copper; and S3.75 per day for copper at fifteen cents or more
 The Old DomiD ion's action led the Miami and Inspiration mines to be- lieye tha. they also could grant an increase and still conserve the de-
 mands of the legitimate business
 In consequence, they announced an increased scale of wages. Although this scale was 25 cents a day less than that embodied in the strike de- mand the miners repudiated their strike leaders and accepted 1t as a token of their confidence in the in- tegrity of the Miami and Inspiration officials. It is the conceusus of opin- ion here that there will not be reD' etition of the unfortunate conditions which prevailed last week

HOUSE MAKES
 CHANGES IN. PENSION BILL
Organ Progresses to Second Reading But is Referred To Judicial Committee for More Alterations.
JOHNSON IS NAMED
 AS PUBLIC EXAMINER
County Seat Removal Narr-
 ows Down to Two Count
 ies-----Hunt Says Pardon
 Board May have Free Hand

PHOENIX. Jan 25.-The Mothers Pension Bin repeal under suspension of rules advanced to second reading in the house today and was referred to the judiciary committee from which. judging from the present tenn per of the members Of the lower branch. it will emerge in form great ly changed from its wording as it passed the senate.
 The senate confirmed former Treas urer Johnson as public examiner and eN-Senator Davis. of MaHcopa coun- ty, as the Arizona member Of the com mittee on uniform legislat on, and passed the state fair deficiency ap- propriation which carries S2l 900.
 The balance Of the day was spent wrangling over superior court costs. and while little actual prog ress was made, definite instructions were given the judiciary committee to redraft the fee bin as proposed by Karns to suit the expressed views of the senate The present law which permits attorneys to call for a jury on any prcteNt 1t seems probable will be amended providing that jury costs shall be deposited by the rti- gant demanding jury trial
 In the house the county seat re- moval bin was discussed and several slight amendments proposed the per centages as in the original bill re- maining unchanged Powers secur- ed an amendment prohibiting a spec ial election on the county seat Ques- ton at any time within six months prior 70 a general election in which case the question would go on the general election ballot It developed during discussion that Graham and Cochise counties were apparently the only ones vitally interested in tho measure and with an idea of making the measure apply to those two counties only, if such was legal ly possible, the bill was referred to the judiciary committee
 Later a discussion was precipitat- ed by Goodwin who proposed to change the word electors" to read voters After an hours quibbling request that a definition of the meaning of both words be given the house by the judiciary committee was included with original instruct, ions in referring the bill
 Appropos of a meeting held al Florence today by the State Board of Pardons. Governor Hunt made the statement that with the board rested the ultimate fate of the prisoners he had reprieved from sentence Of death until March 19, 1915
 "If the board does not pardon or commute the sentences of the men so far as ] am concerned the law shall take its course" said Hunt "Of course Warden Sims might re fuse 10 hang them"
 No action on death penalty mer was taken by the parole board but several indeteminate sentences were recommended to the governor fol parole Trott was elected chairman and Sanders prison parole clerk secretary.

In 1858 the Santa Rita Mining com
pany was organized for operating
both old and new properties in the
Santa Rita mountains; the Mowry,
Trench, COmpangre and other veins
We're being worked in the Patagonia
mountains, and smelters being in
stalled for the reduction of ores. The
ore of these mines, especially that of
the Mowry, was sold to be OF high
value, yielding, besides the large per
centage of silver, about 80 per cent
of lead, which was in demand by the
neighburing companies TO be used as
auX in reducing their less favored
ores. The Santa Rita and the Pata-
gonia mountains contain a score or
more of the crude adobe smelters or
their ruins, examples of which may
be seen in Alum canyon, at the Jarillo
mine, southwest Of Patagonia, and al
Dusquesne, near the Mexican border.
They were mostly built by Americans
after the Gadsden purchase and are

and San Diego, Cal, via Tucson
from 1857 to 1861 The breaking out
of the Civil War, with the withdrawal

MINE BUREAU PROBE
FOR RARE MINERALS
FOUND IN ARIZONA
Non-metaIllCS of Commercial Va
Iue viii Be Subject Of InveSti-
cation for Benefit of Pros
peCtOrS.

The utilization of the rare minerals
and the non-metallics in the state Of
Arizona is one Of the first problems
to be considered by the Arizona State
Bureau of Mines. p. e. Joseph, metal
lurgist of the station, is in charge OF
these investigations, which viii be
promoted by publications that will be
of great assistance to those interest
ed in the mining industry
During the year bulletins viii be is-
sued each one dealing with a separate
mineral which is to be found i'm com
mercial quantities in Arizona. Each
bulletin will contain a brief desCrip-
tion of the sources of the particular
mineral described with an outline OF
the various field tests that are neces-
sary for further discoveries. They
will also contain information as to
the use of these minerals with an out
line of the various factors which gov
ern the market. and how 10 ascertain
whether or not the deposits are of
commercial value The character OF
the papmlets viii be local and ap-
! piled TO Arizona conditions.
Inasmuch as manganese is one of
the things most often misunderstood,
the first bulletin win have this for its
subject Il is now in the hands of
the printer and will be ready for dis
/ tributiOn in about a month Follow
/ ing that time bulletins will be issued
regularly twice a month. They viii
be issued as a Mineral Technology
series.
The basic idea of these publications
is to give to the prospector and min.
er information that is authentic in a
clear and concise form, to enable him
to identify the ores containing the
metals described, to determine foI
himself something of the value of his
find and the uses for it, Although
such information may be obtained
now where a large library is available
it has not been compiled into brief
concise and non-technical forms
These bulletins are for free distribu
tion and may be had by writing tC
