Leadville Miners Deny That High Wages
Are Paid in That District.
Leadville. Colo.. JUNO 10. l0l6.

LeaoNlle miners Oeny 1ndl nlSn wages
Are Paid in That District.
LeadyiIle, Colo, June 10, 1916.
Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:
An article published in the Rocky
Mountain News by Capt. James 7. Smith
under the heading 1916 Output of the
Leadyille Mines Expected to Exceed
SlSOOO,OO0," in which Philip Argan was
quoted as saying: In the Leadville
mining district mining and development
work IS very active. Good miners are
paid 81 to $3.50 per shift, and machine
men 50. Even at this liberal rate it is
difficult to keep the forces, as there are
no dull districts todraw from in Colorado
or elsewhere
For the benefit OF those who may come
to Leadville expecting TO find work in
the mines here at 81 to s. per shift, we
think it is our duty to warn them against
this Misrepresentation of the facts re-
garding wages paid TO miners here. The
fact about the wages here is: That the
best miners are receiving $3.50 per shift.
Good machine men receive S3.S5 per shift.
Does that sound like - per day. The
truth is that Philip Argall would have
YOU believe that the miners are getting,
or will get. the greatest part OF this SIS,
100000. The Leadville district Is now
oversupplied with good miners. who are
anxious to find work al $3.50 per day.
Those OF YOU who are planning to come
here on the strength of this untrue state
ment will do well to stay where YOU
have employment.
The statement that the output OF the
Leadville mines is expected to exceed
SIS. .OA0 600 is true. and we hope it will
greatly exceed that amount. 1t lis also
true the mine operators are doing great
deal of development work. But the min
ers of this camp will not let this untrue
statement pass unchallenged. The w. F.

Ssrtion regarding the scale OF wages in

of this camp, Our aim is to let YOU, who

Miss Lillian Legnon. a young lady
residing at 719 Eliza street with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Legnon..
was taken to the hospital for mental
diseases after an examination by DR..
O'Hara, where it is hoped she might

sent for the same condition for
which she is being treated now. She
returned from the Louisiana Retreat.
however, month ago but with no
marked improvement. Mrs. Legnon.
the mother of the young lady, tells
"a sad story regarding her daughters
failing mind. Mrs. Legnon stated
that about three years ago her
daughter visited Baldwin. Louisiana.
where she met young man by the
name Mr.. Dayries, who was a clerk
on plantation near Alkaline. Mrs.
Legnon said she did not remember
the young mans first name and she
had seen him but one time. Mrs.
Legnon stated that her daughter be-
came infatuated with the young man
and remained at Baldwin about six
months, when she returned to AL
giers and this was about three years
ago and was at this time when she
first noticed her daughters mind
was becoming deranged. The moth
er stated the girl still continues to
speak about the young man but that
there had never been any corre-
spondence between them. On sew
eral occasions Miss Lillian ran away
from home and Mrs Legnon stated
she did not know where the young
lady had gone. She disappeared
again a few days ago and her par
ents enlisted the aid of the New Or
leans police. Lillian was found wan
dering about the streets on the CITY
side of the river, where she was ia
ken in charge and sent to the men
tai hospital. Mr.. and Mrs. Legnon
have done everything they could in
their power to secure relief for the
young lady, who is now near twenty
years of age. The parents are very
much grieved over the condition.
and they are deserving of the SYM
Iathy of their many friends and
acquaintances here. Mr.. Legnon is
an employee of the Fairbanks Co.
