0ATM MAN GOLD MINERS NOW PAID ACCORDING
 TO PRICE OF COPPER
Novel Sliding Wage Scale A dopted d By Producing Companies of Famous Dis trict In Mohave County.

OATMAN, Ariz., June 9.-The adop- l ton of a new wage scale which went into effect June 1 was the principal event of the last week in the Oatman district. The new scale is a novelty in mining, as the wages to be paid un- der it are based uLon the price of electrolytic copper as established or quoted by the Engineering & Mining Journal.
 Wages in the copper camps of Ari- zona have long been governed ny the price of copper. A minimum is agreed upon and then advances are automati- cally granted as copper goes up.
 As wages in other branches of min ing naturally vary in accordance with the prevailing scale received by the copper mine workers, it was deemed by both parties to the Oatman agree ment, that the price of copper might be fairly considered as an index to miners wages here.
 Adopt Sliding Scale.
 It was also pointed out that when copper is high, living costs also go up and when copper is impoverished, liv- ing is cheap. Therefore sliding scale based on 27-cent copper was deemed fair, at least as an experiment in gold mining economies.
 Under this scale the men are given an advance of 50 cents day over the former prevailing remuneration. If copper recedes 1 cent a pound, wages g3 down 10 cents 2 day. except in the case of unskilled labor, commonly called the Bull Gang" who only suf- fer an amputation of , cents a day.
 Copper will have to slump to 22 cents a pound as quoted by the Engi- neering X Mining Journal. before Oat- man miners see the same figures writ ten on their pay checks. as they were accustomed to before June 1.
 New Mill Operating.
 The entire matter was handled in a business-like and thoroughly com mendable spirit by both miners and operators. A petition was presented to the operators reciting the fact that living costs have advanced to such an extent that more pay is needed to maintain a decent standard of living. While it is true that the gold miners have not profited by the high price of copper, and all other commodities, the operators have acknowledged the jus tice of the miners suggestion. As a matter of fact, the old mines are mak- ing less money now than in ordinary times, but that does not help the pre- dicament of the men. so an agreement was entered into that means that men working in the Oatman mines will hereafter receive from S4 to $5.50 per day.
 Visitors in the Oatman district who come in by way of Needles hereafter will miss the familiar roar of the Tom Reed stamp mill. which smote the ear for ten consecutive years but is now stilled. The new ball granulatnig mill has two and one-haif times the rated

In order to keep this new plant running twenty four hours day; stoping has com menced west of the Aztec shaft. where a stope 400 feet long is being opened up. This is one of the finest ore bod ies ever discovered in the camp. and over 60,000 tons of ere should be taken level. The tramway should be in work ing order within the next thirty days. It is also expected that sinking will be resumed at the Aztec shaft very soon. reaching the 75O-foot level.
 The month of May should establish a new record for production at the United Eastern mill Daily mill runs of 270 and 2SO tons were hung up dur ing the month, and an average of 250 for a considerable part of the month was made. As stoping progresses much lower grade ore is being taken out, so that the gross value per ton may not run as high as at first.

ern is the opening up of the ore body on the 665-foot level. Work is pro- gressing both ways on the drift which has been extended from total length of less than 400 feet to about 600 feet, and both faces are still in good com mercial ore. This pioves that the United Eastern ore body increases in length with depth. at least down to the 665-foot level.
 What the conditions are 300 feet lower will be disclosed in due time as the shaft will be sunk to that depth as rapidly as possible, when prelim- mary arrangements for this work are completed.
 Developments on the Big Jim claims are progressing with satisfactory re- suits under the direction of the new owners. the United Eastern Mining company. Greater ere reserves are be- ing opened up on this property. It is expected that sinking will be com menced on the Blue Bird property of the Big Jim Consolidated this coming week as the compressor is now being installed.

REDS ARE MAKING PROGRESS
Indians Learn English Language and
Take UP the Ways Of
Civilization.

Twenty thousand Indians have
learned to read and write the English
language in the last four years. There
are now $4,000, or 80 per cent Of the
total, who can use English. More than
100000 Indians have discarded the
native dress and adopted the white
mans costume.
The income Of the Indians from
various sources is now more than SIS
100000, an increase of 100000 in
four years. They own $4,000, 600
worth of live stock and are cultivating
61S,527 acres of land. There are 49,
900 actual farmers, an increase of T.
600 in the last three years.
Living conditions are better among
the Indians. They are gradually turn

service, is 5000: the maximum pay
Of lieutenant colonel is $4,50O etc.
All officers serving outside of the Unit
ed States, except Porto Rico and
Hawaii, receive 10 per cent increase

TOMMY ATKINS PLAYS HOUSE
Game Of Chance That Is Much In.
duI0ed In by Soldiers Of Great
Britain.

It would be rather interesting to
trace the origin of the soldiers game
of house." which has such a vogue
among our men In France, both at the
base and cup the line" House" makes
no pretension to be other than a game
of pure chance, and as such it Is rec
ognized by the authorities, who, while
vigorously suppressing all other forms
of gambling, allow this outlet to the
! sporting proclivities of the Tommy
who wishes to have ''fiutter." To set
up house" of this nature does not
require an elaborate outfit, says the
London Chronicle. A quantity of
printed cards, on each of which ap-
pear Is numbers between 1 and 80,
no two cards bearing the same COM
bination of figures, is obtained. A
bag of counters numbered from one to
ninety Is all that is necessary to COM
plete the equipment.
Now for the game itself. The pro-
prietor of the "house" proceeds to sell
his cards to any number Of men up to
twenty or thirty who wish to buy
share in the "house." The price
charged is usually 5 cents. Having dis
posed of his cards the banker, or
house proprietor" sits down and pro-
ceeds to fish out counters from his lit
tie bag, calling out the number on each
as he draws it. If the number called
appears on any card, the owner strikes
1t out, the game being won by the man
whose card is first cleared of its num-
0ers in this way. The winner receives
the stakes, minus certain percentage
which goes to he proprietor 4 he

generally when a certain concentration
is reached. In the salt ponds of San
Francisco bay this color Is due to q

IAP'S IDEA ON RELIGION
Vscount kaneko Tells Of the Growth
Of Christianity In His
Country.

Viscount Kaneko had kept in mind
the various points he had made, and
before turning to discussion Of poll
tics. he summed them UP to give ME
chance to get them clearly in mind.
Friendship recognizes faults, but
triu1nphs over them. Christian lead
ers must be well trained to do eff
fective work in Japan. On account
Of the high character Of the gradu-
ates Of Christian schools in Japan our
men are very friendly toward Chris
tan schools. Christianity is a prac-
teal religion, and is now spreading
among our best men in all walks Of
life like wildhre, while Buddhism is
on the decline. But the higher a place
Christianity wins, the better and
broader should be its leaders. Japan
Will never ask Christians to cempro-
mise on their faith if they have as
their representatives men whose train
Ing is broad, and whose manners are
those Of gentlemen dealing with
equals" he concluded. The okts-

A Bio Snowfall,


The heaviest fall of snow that ever
took place in England occurred in 1915.
The snow commenced falling on the
18th Of January. 1916, and continued
every day until the 18th of March fol-
lowing. 1t covered the earth to such
a depth that passengers, both horse
and foot, passed over gates, hedges and
walls, which had been obliterated by
the white sheet. On the 18th of March
1t began to decrease and so by little
and little consumed and wasted away
till the 2sth Of May.
A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in
1920, the snow falling thirteen days
and nights with little or no intermis-
sion
One Of the heaviest falls on a single
day occurred on the 21st of February
1862, the snow In some places being
from ten to twelve feet deep.
