Gold Fields


 This property 20 miles east of Mesa is obtaining exceedingly satis factory results from it's small and incomplete equipment, and notwith standing the inconvenience caused by the late heavy rains. Towards the end of last year, 4,195 tons of ore has been treated under the present owners management.
 This ore yielded in bullion $S9,- 000.07. making an average saving per ton of $9296 with an extraction of 90 per cent of the total value. Out side of this is large tonnage of shines containing workable values but which the present plant is un- able of treating.
 Although from the workings high grade ore has been raised, the value has been kept lower by the mixing of the lower grade material taken out in development. The ore is ideal and amenable to perfect cyanidation But the greater success of the pro perty depends upon the installation of much better equipped and larger piant commensurate with the extent and importance of the lower grade ores already developed. A plant should be erected to treat not less than 200 tons per day
 The undertaking however has prov en highly satisfactory as far as it has gone It required care, ingenu ity, determination and large expense to pick up the old workings, which lad been abandoned for years, repair and add to the old equipment and install newer additions at an eX- penditure of S20.000.
 And all this has been accomplished from the mine itself. But now the property has got to the point where a more proficient and up-todate plant is absolutely necessary, and the treatment of the ore would prob ably be best effected by the adoption of tube milling.
 Lacking better facilities for pump ing, the ground is not being worked below the 400 level During the past operations about thirty-five men have been constantly employed in and around the mine and milling plant. There would be important economies and better results from n much larger plant and we are in hopes that the present owners will be successful in accomplishing this much desired necessity. A thorough going mine and fully equipped, so near Phoenix. Mesa and the adioin- ing vicinity. would go far to prove that we are somewhat of a mining center. irrespective of how difficult it has been to convince our local citizens of this fact in the past,

MANY MEN ARE KILLED IN
 MINES IN ENGLAND

LODON-The official casualty to- tai of the past year in the mines and qnarries of Great Britain is 1870 killed and 1S4.202 injured, accordins; tn Blue Book issued by the Home Office
 The number returned as injured, v large as it seems. includes only those who were disabled for a period of eight days or more.
 Although there are employed in mining in this country 1,236.211 per sons, of whom 926,359 work under ground.
 The Blue Book reports that a gain in safety in mining is to be noticed over a long period of years, but the gain is so slow as to be almost inn perceptible. The death rate, figured per million tons of coal or minerals raised, was 5.S1 last year. as com pared with 7.4S thirty years ago. The past year included one great disaster-that at Sepghenydd, Wales,
Arizona republican., 1915-02-21

where 439 lives were lost. It is noted that the disasters from explosions were nearly all in South Wales. There were no fatalities from fire damp CT coal dust in orth Wales or in four principal coal mining dis tricts of England Most of the deaths in these districts were due to falls of roof
 The Chief Inspector of Mines em- rhasizes chiefly the fact that matches and other dangerous articles are ire quently found in the possession of wrokmen below ground. T do not mean to infer that the matches are Intentionally carried below ground in most cases it is carelessness If managers would more generally pro- vide a suitable plcae at the en- trance of the pit for the safe deposit of pipes, tobacco and matches. I think it would do much to prevent the carrying of smoking equipment underground"
 Similarity to war is found in the Blue Book. not only in the huge casualty list but also in the records of awards during the year of the Edward Medal, which is the Victoria Cross of the mines. For heroism in the face of death the records of the miner-heroes compare favorably with those of the heroes of the battlefield.
 The total value of minerals mined in Great Britain in 1913 was $S00.- 00O,O00 an increase of about $145, 100000 over 1912. The increase. ac cOrding to the Home Offices report. was due mainly to the higher value of coal, which comprised nearly 90 per .cent of the total.
 The average price of coal at the pit mouth increased F per cent dur ing the year

 Indications were that there would be a fight in the convention between trust company representatives and national bank men over a proposed constitutional amendment which re- quires that subjects of national or state legislation originating in any section of the association shall not be urged. independently by any section. The trust company delegates take the view that this1 amendment is de- signed. to hamper them in their efforts to have repealed a section of the fed eral reserve act which grants trust powers to national banks.

Loafing Players Will
 Hustle Now To Stop
 Future Salary Cutting

k Between now and the end of the first week in October there will prob ably be the greatest amount of hust- ling by ball players ever known in any two months of the game. During g most of. last season and all .of, the present one. so far as it has gone, a large number of men have been loaf ing shfrkngsS soldering and laying down on the job, as the texpr ression goes. And,awkat is more, they, have been able to get away with it with out entailfng any cut in salary or other punishment except in a. few rare iso- lated instances where the special con ditions Of the case were different from those of the great majority.
 The loahng ball player has been the rule srather than the exception during the last year or So of major league strife. During the time the Federal League raids on organized baseball were at their most alarmng stage, the big league magnates hit upon a scheme to guard their assets from the assaults of the assai1ant. The Feds were grabbing every player whose contract had something illegal in it-a4 To-day notice of release clause or one giving the club options on the mans services for an inde- ttrminate length of time, known or- dinarily as the reserve clause.
 It was not until nearly the middle of last summer that this feature of the legal situation became firmly inn pressed on the nnds of the big 1eaguers. When they finally. awoke to the lreali zation Of the bitter truth, they suddenly found themselves in a position where practically every man who chose to could join the Feds. Then followed the hurry toef1gure out a, means to aI1ay the evil.
 The scheme adopted in the end by every one of the Sbig league mag mates was to sign the players to what have been called ironc1ad contracts: These instruments lacked the obnox- ious 1o-day and reserve clauses. Thus, with no 1oophole left for the Feds, the men had to play with the big s1eagues or be restrained from play ing at Il if they jumped. The Feds,
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-09-08

understanding they could not tamper
 successfully with such players, made only a few isolated efforts to get them.
 The other feature of the new situa- | ton and the one that bears directly tions of the players themselves As soon as they got their ironclad con
 tracts they saw at once, that their money was guaranteed, that their employees could not fire them no mat ter how poorly they might play. Re- sult-<loalng by dozens of the, men who were in baseball, only for the money they could get out of it. One team showed the effects of the general shirking worse than any 10th her-the New York Giants. At pre- cisely the time all the star members were signed to ironc1ad contracts a
 number of thick-headed souls began | to take things easy. the club began to slump and from trenmendous

 Men on nearly every club joined in the general 1oafng, however. Play CTS refused to slide into bases as daringly as they used torthere was
 no need of taking unnecessary
 chances now. When chasing a foul

 than run the risk of pumping the fence. No more strength was put into a long throw than was neces-
 sary to keep the crowd from booing.
 Training rules were d1sregarded, too.
 Many 8 shirker overlooked one thing of importance, fhowever-his
 contract was not eternal; it must
 expire some time, and then he would
 have to sign a new one. The large

1t is little early to give the details OF
the programme, but there is no doubt but
that the coming one will be up to the high
standard of the past.
This is a very worthy institution and
should be accorded more liberal support
of the citizens that has been the case In
the past. It should have more members
and better and more consistent support
from the churches if great good is to be
accomplished.
By next week we hope to be able to say
more as to the plans of the entertainment
