VETERANS TRY
TO HOLD Jobs
Pension Office Employees Appeal
To Chief to Ignore Retire
ment Law.

A storm OF protest has arisen over
the casting adrift of superannuated
! pension office employees.
Commissioner OF Pensions Gaylord
l N. Saltzgaber Is being besieged with
appeals for a modification OF his pol
icy, which Is to retire automatically
hll clerks more than seventy years
OF age. regardless OF their efficiency
and fitness.
More than 200 clerks in the pension
ofrice are eligible for retirement
under the new law. and eighty-eight
OF them have asked to be retained
for at least a two-year period. Most
, of them confidently expected that
they would be retained until Commits
s'oner Saltzgaber announced his
policy.
The commissioner said:
Il have been appealed to by out
siders who are friendly to the en-
ployes and In their interest have made
the pleas. A few OF those who desire
TO remain are my comrades who
served the Union in the civil war. l
| think they deserve the best OF all
good things. Another Is an ex-Con-
federate who for many years has
served the office faithfully and well.
BY reason OF long and pleasant asso-
citation during more than seven years
here. ] have come to regard these en-
ployes as my intimate personal
friends.
HEART Is DIVIDED.
There Is not one Of them who has
not done good work. Because of this,
my heart Is divided between inclina-
tion and duty. My personal prefer
.ence would be to allow to remain ev-
cry one of them who chooses to stay.
My official duty as commissioner re-
Quires a different action.
"I believe the act for the retire.
ment of civil service employees to be

vised plan for the beneft OF those
who had reached the retirement age.

r. L. Brainard. editor of the Ward

first of the week after an absence of
several weeks in the east. Mr.. Brain
ard is one of the directors of the
Sterling Silver Mountain Mining COM
pany and one of his first acts upon his
return was to visit the property on
Big creek to note the progress Of de-
velopment and changes in the showing
during his absence. He found that
drifting on the first vein had been ex-
tended easterlv $50 feet and that num-
erous lunches of gray copper ore had
been found assaying as high as S5
ounces in silver A feature of the
vein is about three feet of tale or
gouge material which also carries
values in silver. The vein is over five
feet wide and Mr. Brainard was great
ly pleased with it's favorable appear
ance and particularly with the pres
ence Of characteristic Big creek silver
ore. The crosscut TO the second vein
is going forward satisfactorily and
should reach the objective in about
300 feet the distance already accom-
pHshed being sos feet. Six men are
employed by the company.

Caused by Low Metal Prices and the
High Mining Costs.
The Gold Hunter Mining & Smelt-
ing company at Mullan. employing
about $50 men. laid off a large number
of men last Tuesday and announce
ment is made that within a week all
production will have stopped and the
force reduced to about 20 men who
will be engaged in development and
preserving the property in good con-
dition. The suspension is due to the
continued high cost of mining. partic-
ularly the excessive freight rates in
combination with the low price of lead.
When the mine will resume opera
tions will depend upon the readjust-
ment of the conditions which forced
the shutdown. When the costs of mi
ming. which in general means wages.
explosives. lumber steel. machinery
md transportation rates. are reduced
10 point in proportion TO the reduc-
lion in the price Of lead. then the
Hunter will doubtless become active |
again. Evidently the company does
rot intend to continue drawing upon |
he resources Of the mine unless there /
s a reasonable profit in mining.

DEATH OF FRED RUSSELL
A SHOCK TO COMMUNITY
IDENTIFIED WITH MINING OPER-
ATOMS MANY YEARS
FAITH IN ALICE.

The tragic death of Fred NJ Russell
at Mullan last Tuesday was a shock to
the people of the entire district, for
he was widely known, had many warm
personal friends and was universally
held in high esteem. While making
his home at Mullan or the Alice mine
for many years, he was a frequent
visitor in this city and was here last
Sunday, and his friends recall nothing
i'm his demeanor suggesting his deplor-
able end. He displayed the same gen
ial and companionable disposition that
has ever been his outstanding charac-
teristic, and if troubles and disap-
pointments had become a burden that
he could no longer bear he was able
to conceal the fact to an extent that
prevented the slightest suspicion on
the part of his friends. Mr.. Russell
was a large stakeholder in the Alice
Mining company and although the
operation of the Alice mine had been
unsuccessful, he had the greatest
faith in its ultimate success and for
years devoted his efforts to securing
capital for its further development
and at times leasing operations. Re
peated failures did not weaken his
confidence or lessen his efforts, and it
is known that within the last few
months he expected representatives of
a large lead company to examine the
property and that he was very hope
ful that deal would be consummat-
ed Possibly the unfavorable condi-
ton of the lead mining industry caus-
ed the company to abandon the propo-
sition, and that this with the uncer-
tainty of the future was the final blow
that banished the hopes he had cher |
ished for years.
