LABOR CONDITIONS At
.TONOPAH AGAIN NORMAL

A correspondent Of the Gazette
writing from Tonopah under the date
of November 10 says that the first
time since the war this camp is back
to almost normal in the number Of
men employed in the mines. Rust
| ling lines are in evidence at most Of
the mines and men ire being turned
away owing t the full operating re-
quirements having been satisfied.
This carries in it's train greater eff
| cheney and managers look forward to
a steady increasing tonnage due to
the presence of surplus labor which
acts as an incentive to the men hold
ing jobs. 1t is notorious that Tono-
pah, in common with every other min
ing camp, has not been favored with
old-time efficiency, but for the past
three weeks there has been a con-
stantly growing list of applicants who
have been given the places of those
who were not rendering satisfactory
service.
The growth in applications is due
to the lack of work in the copper
mines in Arizona, Utah and Montana,
which is responsible for the coming
of frst-class machine men and muck
ers in addition to other classes of I'M
der ground labor including timber
and shaft men, whose services have
commanded a premium on the basis
of contract work based on footage
which paid the crews a bonus over
the regular wage scale Of the camp.
Managers report that efficiency is
showing a gain and before the end of
the year they expect to have full
crews that will reduce the cost of
production very materially. This state
Of affairs enables the shift bosses to
make a better showing. The situa-
ton may be better understood by
quoting one of the principal mana
gers who recently said that he would
sooner pay his men of three years ago
$40 a day rather than what he had to
accept at $3.50 and Sc and get bet
ter results.
One marked feature of the labor
market is that a large percentage of
the men are of the best class of work.
ers, with native Americans, Irish
Americans and Cornishmen in the
lead, and a very slight increase in the
number of Slavs, who usually consti-
tuted the majority in the district.
The surplus labor is being absorbed
by mines tributary to Tonopah where
managers have had difficulty in keep
ing forces with any inducements they
could offer.

though the people voted for a change
they would fail to obtain it, says the
Reno Gazette. She also stated that
she was a material factor in the de-
feat of Senator Henderson. She
said in part:
THE people wanted a change. The
majority of them evidently thought
the way to get it was to sweep Demo-
Gratis Out of office and put Republi-
cans in. This action reminds me of
the story of the mice who elected a
white cat to rule them. They were
so exploited that they soon demanded
a change and were persuaded by their
leaders that all that raj wrong was
the color of the cat, so they put the
white cat out and elected a black one
in his place. In my opinion, the
Americans have not secured the
change they desired, because I be-
lieve. as l stated throughout my cam
paign, that the Republican and Dem.
ocratic parties stand for exactly the
same thing, the continued dominance
of Wall street and big business prof
iteers over the people.

THE BI-WEEKLY GRIND IN The
RECORDERS COURT.

Jealousy between two negro women
over a man, husband or one and sweet
heart Of the other, resulted in an af-
fray Saturday afternoon, trial in
municipal court Friday morning, and
heavy fines for both participants.
The warrant for affray was issued
against Dovie Jane Peace, wife Of
Henry Peace, and Fannie McCul-
Tough. Both women eployed counsel
and each Of them assumed the part
of the prosecutrix, while the state re-
mained neutral and accused both.
From the best that could be learned
from the testimony in the case, in
fuenced as it was by the feeling be-
tween the two parties, Dovie Jane was
the irate spouse, incensed because the
younger and fairer Fannie would not
let her husband alone
A fight ensued, in which Fannie Nc
Cullough severely cut the Peace wom-
an about the arms and shoulders. Inc
court found both of them guilty of an
affray, divided the costs between
them, fined Dovie Jane Peace SIS, and
the other $5O, with an order to pay
the doctors bill of $50.
Clyde Farley pleaded guilty to
speeding, admitting also that it was
his second offense. He was fine $50
and the costs.
w. B. Strickland also pleaded guilty
to speeding. Judgment was suspend
ed upon payment of the costs.
Charged with running an, automo-
bile without lights, ]. NJ. Gordon en-
tered a plea of guilty, and was re-
leased upon payment of costs.
Case against Rome Pierce, charged
with felonious assault, was dismiss
ed for lack of sufficient evidence.

and disorderly and the fines and costs
totalled $33845. The highest amount
taxed against a defendant was See. 65-
while weman~in the bunch was Civ

These we're mostly first offenders, it

J. George is trough on second offend
ers." He recently had some speedars
before him and they got the same
treatment. Mayor George will prob
ably quiet things down in the CASTOR

pie here. He is now president and
principal owner of a cotton mill at

sued during the month OF June from

were for business buildings, aggregat-
ing S121, 800, all of which amount, ex-
cept $1,000, goes into entirely new es-

for a church building, to cost $4,000,
and the remaining 13 wer for residenc-
es and dwelling, totalling $19,5O0. 1t
is interesting to note that Of the 25
permits issued only five of them were
for additions or betterments, while
the remaining 20, or four-ffths of the
number called for entirely new struc
lures The largest Individual firm Sc
