Mr.. Vernon L. Phillips, Jr., more
tamlllary known as "Bud" Phillips,

at the Norfolk Hospital, following his
accident aboard one of the Baltimore

Wednesday. Recently he came home

ents decided to have an examination
made by a Philadelphia specialist. DR..
j. laurence Rugh. An x-ray was
made which developed the leg'bone to
be badly diseased. DIR. Rugh advised
an operation at once and last Wednes-
day at the Methodist Hospital, his in
Jured leg was amputated at the knee.
Bud" is getting along as we'll as can
be expected with the hope this last or
deal will restore him to health. What
he has gone through since his accident
has been enough to crush the spirits
of any man, in fact it is almost a mir
acle when gangrene set in that he is
alive to-day, but he has hope and the
good wishes of his many friends that
when he comes from the Methodist
Hospital he will be on the road to re-
covery. He expects to be home by
Christmas. Mrs. Phillips, his mother,
spent the week end with him.

Best Ore Showing in Property Re-
Gently Disclosed.
The best and altogether the most
encouraging showing of ore that has
ever been developed in the Sidney
was encountered last week. according
to a statement made by Evans Gay
one of the owners of the property, and
who has charge of its development.
This fine showing was found at the
junction of two veins. and the ore is
described as a good grade of lead-sil-
yer, much of it in the form of lead
carbonate. Mr.. Evans expressed the
opinion that the showing is the end
of an important ore shoot and drift
ing will continue to determine its ex-
tent. The Sidney has long been re-
garded as one of the most promising
properties on Pine creek, the devel-
opment heretofore having disclosed
much ore of milling grade It joins
the Denver claim, owned by the Ma
bob company, and in which its most
important ore bodies have been devel-
oped.

LARGE IMPORTATION
OF LEAD FROM SPAIN


Continued fram Page -
of this lead for customs purposes has
also been discussed The best opin-
ion seems ~ be that the proposed
plan of basing the duty on the Amer
lean valuation is unlikely to go into
effect, at least not soon. In the Ford
ney tariff BILL which was again in
troduced in the house yesterday this
provision was omitted in favor of a
scheme for a quarterly valuation of.
foreign exchange by the director Of
the mint this valuation being used in
connection with the foreign price for
determinipg the duty However. a
depreciation OF foreign exchange
greater than &c 2-S per cent may not
be set, so if this bill becomes a law.
importations from Germany appar-
entity would be Disseminated against"
Valuation of Imports.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the duty on these importa-
tons are figured on their value at the
port of entry or in Spain. It would
Of course be greatly to the advantage
of the foreigner to have the duty bas-
ed on the value of the lead in Spain.
and it is inferred from the above quo
tatiOn that this system is followed.

MINING COMPANIES
TO REDUCE WAGES
tContinued from Page u

months ago, for the scale starts with
lead at cents per pound, up to that
figure the pay being $3.50 per day.
Here is the sliding scale:
Hereafter when lead is sc per
pound or higher a profit sharing bon
us will be paid in addition to the min
imum scale of wages as follows:
Twenty five cents per shift when
lead is sc per pound and under sac.
Fifty cents per shift when lead is
SIC and under &c per pound.
seventy five cents per shift when
lead is &C per pound and under 615c.
"One dollar per shift when lead is
6lec per pound and under TIC.
When the average price of lead in
New York is less than sc no bonus
will be paid and the regular scale ap-
plies"
During the month of December the
average price of lead was under sc
and has never been above that figure
since. For some time it was down to
4 cents and for the past two weeks
has been 425 cents. After the reduc-
ton on May 1 making miners wages
s4.25 the companies will still be pay
ing a bonus of rs cents per day and
the smelter 80 cents although the
price of lead is below the figure at
which the bonus is required to begin.
Action by Federal and HecIa.
The notice of reduction of wages
was posted by the Federal Mining &
Smelling company at the Morning
mine yesterday, and here follows:
Notice to Employees.
owing to the continued low prices
for lead the Occur d'Alene mines are
unable to operate prohtably OF the |
seven principal producing mines four
have already been forced to close, and |
the remaining three must either shut |
down or reduce operating expenses.
1T is believed that employees are .
familiar with the conditions and that
they will prefer that a reduction of
the wage bonus shall be made rather
than the mines should be closed.
1T has been decided, therefore, that,
beginning on May l. 1921, the bonus,
which is now sips a day. VIII be re-
duced to 75c a day At the same
time the rate for board at the COM
panys hotel will be reduced to S1.15
per day

cost of operation. 1t was finally de-

ton that there will be a gradual re-
duction in operating costs.
I'VE are reluctantly announcing !
reduction of wages to assist in bring j
ing about a condition which is ne
cessary if operations are to continue.
A reduction of fifty (5Oc) cents per I
