LABOR TROUBLE
MAY HANDICAP
COUNTRY CLUB JOB

The work which has been pro-
crossing rapidly on the new Augusta
Country Club buildings, is going
along without the services of paint
ers at present, as the result Of a
decision reached by the painters
union officials Wednesday morning.
The painters, union members, have
been instructed by their organizer
not to work on the job while nom
union men are employed and left
the job yesterday morning.
Because of contract between the
Country Club and the contractor,
Grin B. Frost, the work must be
completed 60 days after it was start
ed. or July 1. All the time which
the contractors take after the 90
days must be paid for at the rate of
SIS per day. Because of this fact
the carpenters and painters have
been working a nine hour day and
Saturday afternoons. 1t is believed
that the carpenters union has no
jurisdiction on this job, which Is
really in the town of Manchester.
After securing all the union help
which it was possible to get the
contracting foreman, Walter Milton,
hired several non-union carpenters
ana THIS was the cause OF the Qecl-
sion of the painters. The local car
penters' union having no jurisdiction
in the matter, the painters then de-
cided to leave the job and it was
intimated Wednesday that If non
union men were used on this job,
the union men would not work for
the same contractor on jobs within
the city limits.
When questioned regarding the
affair Mr.. Milton stated that he con-
sidered the whole business. as con-
trary to the principles of organized
labor. Milton also stated that while
he believed he would be able to OBJ
tain injunction proceedings he was
as yet undecided as to what course
to take in the matter, but would
reach a decision within a very few

Hyder weekly herald., 1926-02-03

The fire fiend again visited Stewart Monday and as a rc- ;ult of his devastating pres ance the two story frame building occupied by the Good Eats Restaurant and a rooming house run by Mrs. A. w. Kel- ley was burned to the ground. During the height of the blaze the billowing flames from the burning structure could be plainly seen from Hyder, where it was believed for a time by many that a conflag- ration was in progress. The ire is said to have resulted from that all too frequent source of fires; pot of tar, which was left unwatched on the restaurant range, with the result that it boiled over.
 Eyewitnesses state that no one was in the place and the fire was not discovered until she tar fed flames had spread into the dining room and were belching into the street. The fire department did all that was possible to quench the blaze but without success. During the height of the fire other nearby structures, in- :luding the liquor vendors ;tore, were seriously threaten. ed by the flames. So far as could be ascertained nothing of value was saved from the building, which belonged to Fred Bell and is said to have been partially insured.

DELEGATE INTRODUCES
 MANY ALASKA BILLS

Washington news dispatches report that Alaska Delegate Dan A. Sutherland has intro. duced the following Alaska bills in the lower house of Congress: To amend the min ing laws of Alaska prohibiting one person locating more than one placer claim a month in one recording district and also requiring persons locating min- ing claims for another to carry a written power of attorney; to construct an asylum for caring for Alaska insane in the Terri ory; to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to appraise and sell timber in public lands in Alaska and to permit settlers to use such timber for fire wood and fences; to authorize the Secretary of Commerce to explore the halibut banks ot the North Pacific and Boring Sea, with a view to obtaining knowledge of the halibut SUD- ply and to allow the taking of fish in Alaska waters for bait at all times. Another bill would extend the U. s. mining laws to Annette Island and authorize the Secretary of the Interior to tax the net income of any operating mine on the island one per cent for the benefit of the Metlakatla h. dians.

RIVERSIDE MAKES
 RECORD SHIPMENT OF ORE CONCENTRATES

Thirty seven and a half tons of ore concentrates from the Riverside mine left Friday on the motorship Norco ell route to the Tacoma smelter.
 The shipment was the largesr so far made from that proper ty and brings the total of ship ments made since the mine was reopened several months ago by the lessees, Messls. Littlepage and St. Clair, to nearly eighty tons, an excel lent record in view of the pres ent limited scope of operations.
 Messrs. Littlepage and St. Clair, who have lately achieved splendid success in extracting the prolific free gold values contained in the ore, are now conducting experiments in separating the zinc element contained in many local ores, with a view to doing customs milling until such time as the ore production of the Riverside IS increased to the point where it will keep the mill in continu- ous operation.
 Their attempts to separate he zine have been most en- ;ouraging so far and further experiments are confidently expected to solve the problem of segregating that objection lble element so frequently found in ores of this section.
 The experiments of Messro. Littlepage and St.Clair will be watched with keen interest by Ill who realize the immense benefit that will accrue to the mining industry through the presence of a customs mill, where the smaller miners can either sell their ore or enjoy he great freight saving and other benefits of concentration before shipping it to a smelter.

Heretofore taxpayers have been urged to file their income tax returns early. The filing of returns this year is delayed. according to Burns Poe. Col lector of Internal Reveru@. pending the enactment of the new revenue act now before the Senate, which, as it passed the House, contains changes in regard to rates and other feat ures. However, Collector Poe says, there is nothing to pre- vent a taxpayer at this time from closing his books and computing his. net income. Such computations will not be af- fected by any; provisions of the new act. The actual preparat- ion of the return itself. after the computation, requires, in a majority of cases, but a few minutes. Therefore, it is advis- ed that all figures and data be assembled, pending re- coipt of blanks by taxpayers. When released, blanks will be sent to taxpayers and also may be obtained at the office of Collector Poe.

In the 75-year period ending win 1924 the United States produced 2,436, ,O00 flasks of quicksilver worth S121,191,- : 900. California yielded the great bulk of this total; the remainder came from Texas, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. Most of this metal has been extracted from low-grade ores, these containing less than 0.5 per cent mercury or 10 pounds per ton. The finished product or "virgin metal" is made at the mine, and shipped in flasks, according to the Week. ly Press Times Mining Review.
 Quicksilver is unique in being the only metal that is liquid al ordinary temperature. Because of this and other physical and chemical properties, it is one of the most indispensable met als to industry. On the other hand, the quicksilver industry of the world is of vanishing significance when compared to the major mineral industries with respect to quantity and value of product, capital in- vested, or the number of men employd.
 The peculiar value of quick silver is due to the fact that in some of it's applications no substitute is available and in others the substitutes would be unsatisfactory or extremely expensive. Scarcely branch of science or industry fails to make some use of mercury of its compounds.
