THE FATHOUR LAW The State of Colorado Has Oné and Will Like: It. CHEAP LABOR NOT DESIRED THERE There Is No Talk Over There of Not Obeying the: Mandate of the Law. The Moore eight-hour law which goea into effect June 16 is attracting a good deal of attention just now and 1s the subject of much discussion. We find, by enquiry among mine owners and op- vratore, both great and small, that there is a willingness to conform to the new law and pay the present ‘scale. Minera in general hold some very pronounced opinions that $3 per day is both fair to miner and mine owner and that eight hours work underground is best for all concerned. This fact is recognized ‘by succéesaful mine managers in charge ' of large pay rells who appreciate ‘the fact that the pay roll is the greatest item, of expense atid that many secrets are hid- den in it and consequently it is very ex- pensive to have dissatisfied’ men ‘em- ployed. In1893, when silver and lead yalues slumped 30 per cent., the scale was reduced to $2.50 for underground meh, and in this way the erroneous. im- pression has gone out that Leadville is 2 $2.50 camp. ee fact offthe-matter is that now, out f:8,000 men employed in Leadville ey not 800: men sre ‘working. for ey proves. that experienced ‘appreciat® the fact: that the cheap- - vat labor'ts the dearest, and have velin- tarily‘advanced the ecale,° As proof’ of these statements we cite:the. action of the small operator who has to; pays royalty but invariably pays $3 per day, and much of the ore contains 17 per cent moisture and nets but $2 or $3 per ton. There seems to be a disposition on the part of both working miners and mine operators to avoid all bad: feeling and trouble. There isone thing absolutely certain, that those diaposed to be liberal and fair with their men ‘control 90 per centofthe mining operations in Lake county, The large number ‘of men: in the employ of small lessees are fully. sat- iafied that there will be no differences. We know ofone prominent operator over the Deadman’s feiee dificulty. He said the claim of the imperial gov- ernment tothe island eas given a new and interesting turn to the matter, and he is inclined to think that the imperial claim will hold good, as the naval and military reserves were made long prior to the confederation, and do not pass with other reserves to the Dominion, after the colony of British Columbia joined the Dominion. A misunderstanding between thé attor- ney-general and his colleagues would be who has been ‘9 $2.60 man, that last week told a working miner who asked him for work that when:be start- ed up he would pay $3 for miners and $3,60.tor timbermen, but, he added, “oy want miners.” Probably 50 per cent of the men’ em- ployed here are now working eight hour shifts. The Mahala mine {pays. $3 for eight hours. The ore is low grade, netting $10 per ton and leas. Mr. Hor- ace Mitchel, the superiutcndant, who is also part owner, is an old Leadville miner, having worked ior wages at min- most and unless should besoon restored, must result in cabinet changes and those changes might bring about an early disgolution of the house.
