MARSH MOTION DENIED
BY THE FEDERAL COURT
NAY BE RENEWED WHEN SHOW
ING REGARDING APEX
is MADE.

The application of the Marsh Mines
company to be permitted to enter the
Iiecla ground by prosecuting from
1 the Gertie tunnel was denied by Judge
Dietrich of the United States district
court at Boise last Tuesday The
court stated, however, that Marsh
would be permitted to renew its ap-
plication when it was in position to
vein. which Marsh alleges is identical
with the Hecla east vein," crosses
the east end line of the Russell claim.
ID will not be sufficient to drift east
on the Russell vein and prove that it
crosses the east end line on the tun-
mel for it might do that while the
ayex might cross the north side line,
which is the contention of the Hecla
company AS Judge Deitrichs ruling
is understood. the apex must be iden-
titled as crossing the end line in or
der to get another hearing in court.
If this can not be done then mani
testify the Marsh has no extralateral
rights and its operations will have to
be confined within the lines of the
Russell claim. The position of the
Marsh is made more difficult by the
heavy snow. which makes surface
work impractical at this time
It is understood that the contention
of the Hecla company is that the
Russell vein crosses the south side
line near the southwest corner, or at
least it covers the corner and cuts
both the south side line and the west
end line. and that its course easterly
indicates that it crosses the north side
line and not the east end line Force
is given to this contention by the fact
that the Russell claim is narrow, on
~ about 400 feet wide, while its
length is practically 1900 feet thus
making it easy for the vein to wander
from the straight and narrow way
and pass beyond the bounds of the /
claim. crossing the north side line.
The hearing at Boise this week was
attended by James +. Mccarthy pres
dent of the Hecla Mining company; |
Earl Greenough. engineer for the !
Hecla. and John p. Gray. attorney for |

REDUCTION OF WAGES
EFFECTIVE JANUARY I
LOW PRICE OF LEAD MAKES
STEP NEcESSARY-WlLL
STILL PAY BONUS.

Formal notice of a reduction in
wages was posted at the various mines
OF the district last Monday, the new
scale to become effective at 700 a. m
on January l. The reduction amounts
to 81 per day or shift for all skilled
labor and S125 for unskilled. The
effect of this will be to establish a
difference of 25 cents per day be-
tween the pay of miners and muck
ers. the pay heretofore having been
the same The only exception to this
rule is at the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
where there has always been a diff
ference between the pay of skilled
and unskilled labor, originally of so
cents per day. but in recent years on
~ 25 cents. The change now made
will place all the mines of the dis
rrict on the same basis 50 far as the
standard pay of miners and muckers
is concerned Under the operation OF
the sliding scale adopted by the min
ing companies in February 1916, the
wages of all employees advanced dur
ing the war until the maximum of
s5.75 per day was reached which APP
plied to miners in all mines and to
muclxers in all except the Bunker
Hin. where the rate was $3.50. This
rate of pay amounted to a bonus Of
s225 per day, while as a matter of
fact the sliding scale provided for
maximum bonus of only 81 per day,
The mining companies, however in
creased the bonus voluntarily as the
price of lead continued to advance,
and although the price of lead has
long since dropped below the level
that caused the increase. the high
wage scale has been maintained on
account of the continued high cost Of
living. The price of lead has now
dropped to a figure that wipes out all
bonus according to the sliding scale, /
and at the same time there has been
q substantial reduction in living costs. |
Under these circumstances the oper- |
ators decided that it was only fair /
that their employees should accept a I
reduction, and so far as can be learn |
ed the employees have recognized the /
fairness Of the reduction and will ac-
cent it without protest Following is

The rates are identically the same as

which for some reason unknown were

PRESIDENT NOT SIGNED
BILL EXTENDING TIME
CLAIM OWNERS IN DANGER OF
LOSING GROUND-MlNER
WIRES FRENCH.

Up to the hour of going to press the
president had not signed the bill
passed by congress extending the
time for doing assessment work on
mining claims. fact that is causing
much anxiety among claim owners
who have depended upon the bill be-
coming a law before the end of the
year. Dispatches from Washington
indicate that similar anxiety prevails
in all the mining states of the west
and senators and congressman are
being flooded with kilograms urging
action before the last of the year.
Last night the Miner wired the fol-
lowing message to Congressman Bur
ton L. French:
Danger in Delay.
Failure of president to sign law
extending time for annual labor on
mining claims before January 1 will
cause much confusion, expense and
probable loss of property. If it be-
comes law without his signature, it
will be after first of year, thus max
ing claims open to relocation on the
first If signed now would avoid com
plications and expense. Get action if
possible"
How It Becomes Law Without Sig
nature.
A bill having passed both houses
of congress becomes a law in ten days
after reaching the president if he
fails to sign or veto it within that
period. provided congress remains in
session As there has been consider
able discussion regarding whether ten
DAYS means ten days from the time
the bill finally passes, or ten days
from the time it is delivered to the
president, the following extract is
quoted from the constitution:
eff any bill shall not be returned by
the president within ten days (Sun- |
DAYS excepted) after it shall have
been presented to him, the same shall |
be a law. in like manner as if he had |
signed it. unless the congress by their |
adjournment prevent its return, in /
which case it shall not be law
The bill extending time for assess
nent work was passed by the house |
on December 20. having already pass
ed the senate. Assuming that 1t /
reached the president the same day |
and he fails to sign or veto it, under
the above provision it would not be-
come a law until January 3, there
being two Sundays and two holidays
Christmas and New Year, to be ex-
eluded from the ten days. Claims I'M
