ries made Of different districts in the

no district has the regular profit
sharing wage scale been departed
from by copper producers, nor is
there any intention OF departing from

wages being paid miners in the state
are $5.25 under the Bisbee scale and

Miami scale The latter is effective

an energetic canvass for the guberna-

at hand is that former Governor Hunt

himself in the event there should come
