Pittman is reported to be optomistic
about being able to retain the
present price and possibly get it
back to the 1897 level particularly
when they are able to ihow actual
evidence as to what happened to
the silver mining industry Of the
country when the price was cut 13
cents an ounce at the beginning OF
this year.
The evidence that is being gather
ed by the councils of the email
mine operators is relating to the
effect of the cut in price On en-
ployment, relief, local business,
railroad tonnage, and similar fac
tors and the cost as offsetting the
$9,OOO,OO0 which the government
saved by the reduction. 1t is be-
lieved that the statistics being com
piled will show that the cut actual
ly cost the government many time
the saving in additional relief and
lessened taxes, to say nothing OF
the moral effect en- communities
in having their mining industry cut
off.
While data If being compiled for
all the western states, several Arl-
zona experiences have been re-
lated which show the effect OF the
cut to a marked degree. One sill
yer mine near Phoenix which en-
ployed 60 men during 1887 was
forced to shut down entirely as
they could mine at 77.57 cents per
ounce but could not proflGably op-
crate at 641a cents. The Patagonia
district shipped six to eight cars
of ore week in 1887 but, since
the cut in silver price, have barely
averaged one car. The Tombi tone
district had seven silver mines shut
down and all the rest working on a
curtailed basis which cut the rail
road tonnage more than in half
and the number of men employed
was cut to about one third. One
Tombstone mine was cut from a
! $40, 900 payroll to $1,000.
Another mine in the eastern part
of the state reported that they
worked IT'S men on an average
during 1887 but, with the cut in
silver price, are now employing but
80 men. The company made an in
vetment of over $1,O00,000 which
has been rendered almost valule3s
by the lower price in the face OF
higher costs. -Four other operations
in the same district were topped
entirely.
These repor-5 are but few
samples of many similar instance
which are being sent to the Rocky
Mountain Metal Foundation, ac-
cording to Charles F.. Willis, state
secretary of the Arizona Small
Mine Operators Association. '"The
fundamental trouble, stated Will
lis sis that the President, along
with many others, regarded the
payment of the 77.57 cents per
ounce as a subsidy to the owners
of the silver mine and entirely
overlooked the fact that probably
rs of the II cents went to the
miner, the local merchant, the tax
collector, the railroad, the ma
chinery man. and hundreds of 9th
ers, while the upper 2 cents went
to the mine owner
"When the upper two cents was
cut off" continued Wills "all OF
the others who were benefitting
from the operation were entirely
eliminated and, while the owners
may have lost the two cents, it is

and broke his right leg at 9:15
this morning.
The leg was doubly fractured
just below the kneecap and was
set this morning. According to
witnesses the pole to which Salas
was holding snapped off close to
the ground and he was pinned
under it.
Revealing the true presence of
mind of a linesman, Salas re-
leased all his safety apparatus
and began sliding down the pole,
B. L. Grooms, president of the
Key West Electric Company, told
The Citizen. but could not quite
free his right leg when the pole
struck the ground.
An Electric Company line
truck which was nearby, in con-
nection with the work, rushed
Salas to the Marine Hospital
where the fracture was set.

SIMONTON, DUVAL
TRAFFIC SIGNS
PAINT DONATED BY LOCAL
MERCHANT; PRESIDENT OF
CITY COUNCIL. W.P.A. PROF.
EcT DIRECTOR. HELP

With the City Council police
committee granting permission,
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
is painting stop and slow signs
this afternoon on Duval and ST.
monitor streets.
The action was decided at a
meeting last night. Paint this
morning was donated by Milton
Curry of VIM. Curry's Sons, who
announced in The Citizen We'd
nesday that he would donate
paint if someone would paint
traffic signs. A truck was ten
dered by Columbia Laundry.
W.P.A. furnished traffic barriers.
To be seen working at paint
ing the signs besides the regular
members of the Junior Chamber
will be President Earl Adams of
the City Council and Jaycees and
Franklin Albert, W.P.A. Project
director, also a Jaycee, and City
Attorney Henry. Taylor, Jr.
The move was decided as a
stimulus to secure needed traffic
signs at important and busy in
tersections. Adrian O'SWeeneX
initiated the first movement of
the kind locally this year when
he swept Duval business section
cutters each morning for few
months until other labor was put
on the job.
Many accidents have taken
place this year through lack of
traffic signs. The idea was fos-
tered by Henry Taylor, Jr,, and
Howard England.
