GEM FIVE MINES COMPANY

Yesterday the stockholders of the
Gem Five Mines Company held a
meeting at the Offices of L. o. Haw-
kins, resident agent II. II. Sheldon
was elected president, F. E. Sheldon
vice-president and L. o. Hawkins sec
retary- treasurer.
1t was voted to place 550.000 shares
OF the million capitalization in the
treasury, and It was also voted to at
once place 100000 shares on the mar
ket at ten cents a share. All the pro-
ceeds of this sale will be devoted to
developing the mine, as there are no
officers salaries to pay.
The Gem Five mine is situated
about fifteen miles south of Winnie
mucea. and twenty-five or thirty years
ago was one of the leading producers
of Humboldt county. The ore shoot
was finally exhausted, when the mine
was closed down. H. II. Sheldon has
recently secured control of the prop
erty and turned it over to the COM
pany. and prospecting has disclosed
extensive bodies of rich ore, which
will al once be mined and shipped.

MINERS CIRCULARS
FOR FOREIGNERS

WASHINGTON, March 20.-In its
miners in the United States with it's
safety propaganda, the bureau Of
mines. Department of the Interior,
has started the issuance of miners
circulars in foreign languages. The
first of proposed series of circulars
for the benefit of the foreign-born,
containing first lessons in first aid
to the injured, has just been issued
in Italian, Polish and Slovak; and
while these circulars are meant pri-
marily for the miners, they contain
information off such a general char
acter as to make them helpful to any
man of the three nationalities VINO
works under any degree of hazard.
In order to make these circulars OF
educational value and to teach and
encourage the foreigners to learn
the English language, the foreign
translation is given on one page and
the English equivalent on the oppo-
site page, with the paragraphs num-
bered.
"The issuance of these circulars by
the bureau of mines Il foreign Ian
guages is not only an additional ef-
fort toward the safety of the miners,
but is also a step in the line of good
citizenship" said Secretary of the
Interior Lane today. 1--WE would all
naturally prefer to encourage the
miners to read English, but insofar
as the bureau of mines is concerned
its first purpose is to get the miners
to read what it publishes looking to
the prevention of mine accidents.
There is no possibility of making
a good citizen out of a dead miner,
and our first duty in behalf of good
citizenship is to help prevent miners
from being killed. The plan of the
bureau in placing the English in par
allel with the foreign language in
these circulars will, however. encour-
age the alien miners to learn English
at the same time they are reading in
their own language about the dan
gers of their work. These circulars
will also have value to the children
of these men in showing them the
English equivalent of their fathers
tongue"
The circulars are free to those who
write to the Bureau of Mines for
them.

ADAMSON EIGHT
HOUR LAW UPHELD

The Adamson eight-hour railroad
law was held constitutional end valid
In all respects by the United States
Supreme Court in decision filed yes
terday.
The decision makes eight hours
the standard of a days work and
wages for men in operation of trains
and legalizes the wage increases
which went into tentative effect on its
passage.
The courts decision was five TO
four, with Justices Day, Pitney, Van
Deyenter and NJ. Reynolds dissenting.
Chief Justice White delivered the
opinion.
Federal Judge Hooks ruling in the
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad
test case, enjoining enforcement of
the Adamson act and holding 1t "un-
constitutional, null and void" was
reversed.
Justice Day read his own dissent
ing opinion and Justice Pitney deliv-
SANN thC OlhCl III
which Justice Van Deventer joined
Justices Pitney and Van Deventer,
in their joint dissenting opinion, held
that the law should be held unconsti-
tutional and void because Congress.
although confessedly not in posses
sion of information necessary for in
telligent and just treatment of the
controversy, arbitrarily imposed upon
the railroads the entire and enormous
cost of an experimental increase IN
wages"
Justice Day, in his dissenting opin-
ion, said the legislation amounted to
deprivation of the railroads prop
erty without due process of law"
In concurring in the majority opin-
ion, Justice McKenna differed in that
he believed the law an hours of serv-
ice" statute, and only secondarily a
wage-fixing law, and thus within the
power of Congress.
The chief justice, in the prevailing
opinion, reviewed the negotiations
and then cited the hours of service"
act as an instance of hours of labor"
legislation by Congress. and said
transportation was of both private
and public interest.
"The dividing line is so marked
that government will not destroy the
private rights" said the chief justice.
"The power to regulate rests upon
both the private and public interests
involved"
He then said the right of private
parties to fix private wages was an
inherent right and to take 1t away
would be unconstitutional; but added
that. considering what Congress in
tended to do and the failure of the
railroads and employees TO reach an
agreement, to say that the govern
ment authority did not have the power
ito fill the void would be to declare
that the private rights had destroyed
the public right"
He said power of Congress was not
an emergency power, and recited the
congressional power to fix rates, pro-
hibiting rebates and a myriad of
regulations to protect the public in
terests."
He said that power had been ex-
tended to employees, citing the hours
of service" act and others, and held
there was authority of Congress to
act because of the failure of the rail
roads and emplayes to reach an agree
ment.
The railroads could not object to
fixing a standard of wages, he said,
because in the deadlock none was
fixed.

the state railroad commission in be-
half of the Independent telephone COM

To secure physical connection with

state railroad commission will act ia
vorably on the application and that it
will ask the telephone companies in
