NEW MINE
TO BE WORKED

p. A. Sample. one of the organizers
of the Alpine -Fairview Mining Com
pany, is here from Reno this week in
teresting local people in what he be-
lieves to be one of the best mining
propositions In Nevada. The property
is located In the mountains back of
Fairview, and the work thus far done
has proves that an immense body OF
ore carrying values In copper. gold
and silver exists on that property.
ID. H. Updike. mining engineer of
Reno was engaged to report on the
property and that gentleman became
SO taken with the showing that he be-
came one OF the company. In maxi
ing his report, Mr.. Updike, in part
said.
This property consists of fifteen full
mining claims. namely: Fairview Mol,
Fairview No. 2. Fairview No. 3, Fair
view No. 4. Fairview No. 8, Aurora,
Sunrise. Sunflower. Morning Star No.
l, Morning Star No. 2, Bluestone No.
l. Bluestone No. 2, Shadow No. 1,
Shadow No. 2. Shadow No. 3.
The property is located about eight
miles southwest of Minden and Gard
nerville. Nevada, on the eastern slope
of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The
ore outcrop at an elevation of 1900
feet. about $500 feet above the level
Of the valley.
The State highway passes through
the property. Ore may be hauled at
low figure over this road to Min
den, 8 miles away, and could be ship
ped direct from this point to any
sampler.
An abundance of timber thrives on
the property, giving an assurance of
necessary material for building and
mining purposes. and for fuel.
At the base of the mountain Is a
creek which will furnish an ample
supply Of water.
The country rock consists OF gran
ite. the schist everything the granite,
The ore occurs In the schist, the same
being deposited from ore bodies be-
low. The ore carries gold, silver and
copper. The ore as it occurs on the
surface shows that, in all probability,
the values have been leached from an
ore body below and disseminated
through the schist.
The copper occurs in the form of
carbonate, bornite. chalcopyrite and
red oxide.
The development work consists of
a tunnel and several open cuts. The
main workings are the tunnel and an
open cut leading to the tunnel. The
open cut is In for distance of twen-
ty feet. Ore is shown on both sides
The amount or ore on the dunn
shows that considerable work has
been done.
Three average samples taken from
the dump gave the following results

Protection of Labor in Soviet Russia.
From the Report of the Commssariat of Labor)

Together with the question of compulsory labor,
the most important question in the organization
of labor is that of it's protection During the old
regime as well as in the capitalist states of the
West there could be no talk of protection Of
labor In the Western "democracies" the state
protection of labor in reality amounts to the pro-
lection of capital against labor, and in Czarist
Russia it was an auxiliary function of the COX
hrana" (Secret service)
Only the Soviet government has created the
fundamental postulates for the real accomplish
ment of social protection of labor on large scale
Four days after the October revolution (on Oct
29, 1919 decree was issued ION the length and
regulation of working hours" which laid down
the fundamental basis of the new policy of pro-
lection of labor.
Although the Soviet Law met all the demands
OF the old socialist parties in respect to protection
Of labor, going, in some instances even farther
than these demands, still as yet we have had no
opportunity to carry out all those laws in their
entirety The difficult conditions of the moment
and, in the first place. the critical shortage of
labor connected with the acute lack of material
resources, has compelled us to narrow consider
ably the field of our activity both in respect of
social, sanitary and hygienic protection of labor
At present, the protection of labor is being ac-
complished chiefly through the spontaneous
creative activity of the working masses. Not only
are there state organs for the protection of labor
elected by the trade unions, but also there is
local committee for the protection of labor in
every factory. These local committees are the
basic units of the whole work.
The term protection of labor" at present has
only an historical significance For it is no longer
necessary to protect" labor. In practice labor
protection is becoming an organ for the most
rational utilization possible Of labor power accom-
panied by careful attention toward its demands,
and is also becoming an excellent way of organ
izng labor to ensure the health of the laborer and
the physical development of the working class.
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-12-25

The fundamental accomplishments In the Held
of protection of labor in Soviet Russia are ~ the
fixing by law of the 8-hours working day for
employees, and the permission of overtime work
only with the consent of the trade unions and OF

CARLINVlLLE, Ill.-Authorities
OF Macoupin county were bending
every energy today to find ''phan-
tom" bandit gang with which eight
cen year old Robert McCurdy of st.
Louis declares he has been battling
since the middle of last week. Nc
Curdy is now in St. Francis hospital,
Litchf1eld, Ill. and expected to die of
pistol wound received Sunday night
while walking along lonely road
between Bunker Hill and Dorchester.
He declares he was shot by a men,
Der of the outlaw gang in retaliation
for having killed one and wounding
another of the gang when they at
tempted to break into the farmhouse
of his aunt, Miss Mesilla McCurdy,
near Bunker Hill last Thursday.
McCurdy's first story. brought to
the police last Friday, was that
the gang first appeared Wednesday
night and he drove them away from
the house with pistol fire. Thursday

opened fire, driving them away.
Thursday afternoon he declared, he
ran into the gang in the barn yard of
his aunt's farm. They were guard
ing the body of dead man and car
ing for a wounded man, evidently
member of the gang. When Nc
Curdy started to aid them in reply to
their pleas, he claimed, they opened
fire on him, a bullet lodging in his
pocket book. He then drove them off
in running pistol battle. They fed
in an automobile.
The authorities, claiming they
were unable to substantiate the story
or find any trace of the outlaw gang,
were inclined to laugh at the yarn
as hoax. They brought McCurdy
here for questioning by State At
torney Hemphill, but later released
him.
Now they state they have reason to
believe McCurdy's yarn, but what
became of the gang and the dead and
wounded men is mystery. The en-
tire countryside has been secured
without finding trace of them

Severe Penalties Here
If all of these practices are insti-
tuted in Bingham county and the
magistrates adopt the custom of CIV
ing every offender one day in jail in
place of paying fine of few dol
lars, there will be a lot of us in jail
right at the start and then there will
be all kinds Of fellows, who will be
observing the traffic rules, as If their
life depended on it; and it does.
For anything we know, these
things may all be put into effect next
week, but we don't think they will,
we think it will come later, but we
want to advise that it will be
mighty, fine thing and save lot Of
trouble and accidents If everybody
drives their cars, during fair week,
just as if such regulations were in
full force and effect. Just Keep re-
minding yourself that the traffic
rules are made to be observed Keep
reminding yourself that the fellow
ahead of you, and the fellow behind
you may be special auto police and
that if you are hailed into court, and
found guilty, you will be sure to get
one day in jail. If you will just re-
member that and act upon it, just
drive as if that were the condition,
you will probably be alive and we'll
at the end Of the fair, and be glad
that The Idaho Republican prevailed
upon you to follow such practice.

their press at Boise? They might
say they had no party thru which to
nominate, and that would probably
be true. In any event operating by
petition destroys the wishes of the
majority and introduces minority
rule. If that plan were followed
year after year, any candidate nom
mated by the majority could prob
ably be beaten at the November cleo
ton, by getting out petition and
putting third candidate in the field
against him. If the three candidates
had about an equal following, the
one that had "a per cent Of the votes
would naturally be elected and it is
not the plan of our government that
"a per cent of the people should rule
the &c per cent. All people who have
been looking for splendid example
of how badly the direct primary
works, certainly have an illustration
in the Hale candidacy, provided he
has the following which he has been
claiming he had and if he goes on
and gets elected, or throws the cleo
ton to ]. W. Bitton, the Democratic
candidate, who it is conceded has no
chance of election except thru the
split created by the third candidate.
If this condition shall come to pass
after majority of the dominant
party has nominated the other man,
that should be ample proof Of the
weakness of the direct primary, as
means of placing men in nomination.
1t must also prove that men are not
sincere when they claim that the di-
rect primary is good thing to ad-
vance the interests of good govern
ment. They will have to acknowl-
edge that it is merely means by
which they can defeat the will of the
majority 1t doesn't matter nearly
so much which of these three men is
elected, as it matters what purpose
there is lying BEND the will of those
who are promoting the split and
seeking to defeat the man who re-
ceived the most votes at the primary
election. Whether Bills, or Hale or
Bitton is elected is a small matter
in comparison with the principle at
stake and the question of sincerity of |
the men producing the split.
