GOOD TIMES FOR
THE COPPER MINERS

Since the beginning of this
month announcements of advances
in wages have been made by the
p y mining companies of Mich
igan, Montana and Arizona. Doubt
less all the rest of them will follow
suit. These advances have been en-
tirely voluntary. carrying out the
profit-sharing scheme of making the
wage scale proportionate to the price
received for copper that vas so sue
cessfully instituted by the Anaconda
in the first place.
With the big mining companies
so much interested in welfare work,
schools. hospitals, etc, and so solic-
itous that none of their employees
hurts himself, not eve by his own
carelessness. and voluntarily offer
ing them a participation in the prof
its of the business. we wonder what
is the use for Mr.. Mover and the
Western Federation of Miners, and
how long anybody will continue to
contribute TO the SUPPORT of its of
ficers and walking delegates

MOTHER LODE MINE
HAS GOOD REVENUE
ENGLISH COMPANY SECURES
LARGE REVENUE FROM
PROPERTY IN AMADOR

One Of the most up to date gold
mines in California is the one at
Plymouth, AmadOr county, owned
and operated by a British company,
and known as the Plymouth Consol-
idated Gold Mining company OF
California, says an exchange. This
mine has been in operation now but
16 months. 1t is a 30-stamp mill
and during the 16 months it has
been operated by the B. F. Moreing
company of London, a total of $751;
629 has been taken out.
OF this amount $25S,O63.45 IS
profit, and according to William T.
Loring, one of the owners. who was
in Sacramento recently, by the time
the mill has been in operation 20
months. 81, 900, 900 gross will have
been taken out, of which about
s355.0OO will be over and above
the expense of operation.
Last month the mill turned out
$4,000 in profit. While some CT

The owners of this mine own and
operate mines in many parts of the
world and this mill is n of the
most modern to be found anywhere.
There is nothing in California that
will compare with it.
The shaft at this mine has been
N~nrked to a depth of 2450 feet and
it contains one of the richest veins
of quartz of any of the Mother Lone
claims. 1t vas worked by other
companies before the present owners
took it over, but under former re-
gimes the machinery employed was
obsolete. The present 30-stamp
mill in operation on the claim has Il
