NO SUSPENSION OF ASSESS.
MENT WORK THIS YEAR.

The house committee on mines and
mining has turned down the proposed
resolution to suspend the law requir-
/ ing annual assessment work on min
ing claims, and it is not likely that the
friends of the measure will be able to
secure a rehearing in time to be of
any practical advantage to claim
owners even if the resolution should
be passed. The Miner has supported
this measure. believing that condi-
tions are virtually the same as they
were during the past few years when
the proposed relief was granted The
actual costs in wages, material and
supplies necessary for doing assess
ment work this year are higher than
ever before, and there is still an acute
shortage of men in the mining dis
tricts. In spite of these unfavorable
conditions and the consequent hard
ship that will be imposed by the ex-
action of assessment work this year,
it is evident that the sentiment in
the mining sections of the west is not
unanimous in favor of the suspension,
a fact that probably accounts for the
unfavorable action of the committee.
There is, of course, a possibility
that the suspension resolution may
yet pass, but it would be unwise for |
claim owners to defer performing |
leir annual labor on this account. |

that our government is selling silver

Flathead Region of Montana" which
seems to contain matter of interest
and cOmprehensiveness perhaps also
of Importance, along the lines of the
caption. The Flathead section of
Montana, however, is the only locality
designated by the federal bureau, al
though the great forests of northern
Idaho, of identical growths and char
acteristics, are equally under the
guardianship and responsibility of the
Missoula bureau. But the Montana
resources alone are advertised and
recommended doubtless for the same
reason, whatever it was that led the
bureau in recent instances to refuse
to allow Idaho timber to be worked
up in the Idaho mills and demanded
that it be transferred to Montana
mills. Its purpose was eventually de-
feated and the Idaho industry pro-
tected in that local and minor respect
but the policy apparently remains the
same. The bureau headquarters are
located in Montana and so it can on
ly see through the little, shriveled
eyes of its vicinage and bias. 1t would
not have hurt the bureau a bit if it

REAL PURPOSE OF /. W. w.
anaconda standard)


There was as much sense in their
demand for the release of class war
prisoners as there was in the demand
for wages of 81 a day
Theirs was not a strike for better
ment of conditions it was blow at
American industry as a whole. 1t was
intended to pave the way for sabot-
age hitherto undreamed of in this
country. The strike on the Job. the
cutting of efficiency the slowing down
on the work, all were part of the
scheme for the breakdown of Ameri-
can industry
That was the real purpose of this
bareback of the Sinking reds. of
whom honest and decent American
workingmen are now purging them
selves.
A dozen or more of the dupes of
these sabotage preachers were called
to the witness stand in the Manning
inquest to challenge the testimony OF
Sheriff O'ROurke and his deputies.
Each one of them was required to tes-
tify as to his earnings.
The first on the list related that his
pay was at the rate of 1912 a day for
the period Immediately prior to April
II last Another of these advocates
of soviet. sedtion and sabotage told
that he was on strike for 81 a day
while his wages had average 1897 per /
day. Another who demanded the 81 |
a day wage had been getting 1896. OF |
IL such men who testified that they |
were on strike the lowest paid had |
been receiving $6.44 per day The
average of the bunch was more than
$3.50 per day. yet they were striking
for 81 a day
Other records showed that while the
minimum pay in the mines for miners
and muckers was $5.75, the average
pay under contracts for the week end

ers was $3.50

raised that these lands and resources
did not belong to the state and to the
people who might acquire and i'm
prove them, but belonged exclusively
to the national government, to be held
in trust for the benefit of posterity.
The cry succeeded, because the older
states which had settled up their
lands and utilized their resources out
voted the new states several times
over, and because they were assisted
/ by siclIly and empirical minds in the
young states which were infatuated
with the new and promising gospel as
declared by President Roosevelt and
Clifford PinchOt. AS a result every
thing of value in the state that the
federal government could seize or the
state house deliver was seized and de-
