At tbe meeting of the committees of miners and operators held last week each of the committees offered suggestions as to a scale of wages upon which a compromise might be reached and the differences between tbe two organizations overcome. The committees then agreed to submit these suggestions to their repsective organizations for action upon tbe same. It was then decided to meet this afternoon and report the result on these propositions. At 2:30 this afternoon these committees again met to report. The committee of miners, consisting of S. D. Murrry, president of the McCabe union, B. M. Crawford, president of the Poland union, and H. Burns, secretary treasurer of the Yav apai county uniou. reported to the meetiug .that tbey had subimtted tbe scale as suggested by the operators and also the one which they them selves had suggested, and tbe union had unanimously voted tbem both down and decided to stand on their scale as now adopted by tbe union. The operators reported that they had submitted tbe matter to tbe mine perators association and that body had revised their scale and submitted the following communication to the meeting : Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 13, 1903. Mr. W. A. Kent, assistant treasurer Oriental Mining Co., Providence, Ariz. Dear Sir: At the conference held at the Burke Hotel, Prescott, Ariz., ugust 10, 1903, at two p. m.. a citi zens committee consisting of Messrs. Burke, Hope, Hill, Richards, Bur- mister, Goldwater and Wilson, the ex ecutive committee representing the Mine Operators Association : Messrs. Middleton, Pickerell, Monroe and the undersigned; and a committee repre senting the miners' unions: Messrs. Burns, Murray, Crawford and Dem eray; were present. Quite an extend ed discussion was bad of the various differences existing between (be miners and operators in this county. As a result, a meeting was held in the rooms of the association at eight p. m., and it was unanimously agreed to make tbe following announcement. It is to be hoped the scale of wages as shown in the enclosed which was duely considered and unanimously ac cepted, will meet with your hearty approval. We trust that the conclu sion reached on the part of the asso ciation in attendance at the meeting will prove in every way satisfactory. It having been positively proclaim ed by tbe representatives of the miners' unions in attendance at the conference, that tbe various unions in the county had no desire to tres pass on the rights of the employer in the slightest and that the unions de nounced most emphatically tbe spirit of interference complained of, and that no demands were being made or would be made on the mine operators to employ only union men, also that they recognize the right of tbe em ployer to hire union or non union men at bis pleasure, as well as the right to discharge men without inter ference by tbe unions, claiming that all they asked was that no unwarrant ed discrimintioii be shown against union men. It was thought best, on the part of your committee, after presenting some facts in this connection, in the face of these statements to drop the matter and accept the representions made as evidence of future intentions and pro ceed accordingly, even though there is abundance of evidence showing that such had not been the disposition heretofore, (by some of the unions at least ). Very sincerely yours, F. M. Murphy. President The Journal-Miner, in a spirit of fairness and justice to all parties in terested in the present wage scale differences. called unon the committee of miners who represented the union at yesterday's conference, and asked them what their reasons were for not meeting the operators on a middle ground and compromising so that tbe trouble might be settled and tbe men go to work and allow the mines to again start up. Their answer was that the scale of wages adopted by the union was for the whole district, and that the United Verde, Iron King. Henriette, Merchants, Crown King, ami a number of other mines in the district were not working eight hours and paying the uuiou scale without complaint, and in these mines more than 500 union miners were now get ting the union scale. Ou the other hand the number of miners who had been out ou account of the operators not paying the scale did not exceed 100. They said tbe position the union took was that it would not be just to revise and reduce the scale under which over 500 meu were now working just to accommodate and allow 100 men to work. Tbe following is the union scale: Sinking shall not be less than t50 per day for the first 50 feet from the surface in case it lie drv. or if water be encountered in the first H feet, it shall not be less than M per day, and all over 50 feet, wet or dry, shall not be less than $4 per day. All men working ou machines shall receive not less than $3.50 per day. The follow ing not less than : Stoping, $3.50. Cross cutting. IS. SO, Firemen, $3.50. Muckers, $3. Kngineers, $4. Timber men, $4. Tool sharpeners, $4. Drifting, $3.50. Raising, $3. GO. Trammers, $3. Topmeu, Pumpmen, -fl. Blacksmiths, $4. Hy comparing this scale with that of the miner operators' which is pub fished elsewhere in this issue, it will be seen that there is very little differ ence in the two. ror sinking in drv shafts below 50 feet there is a differ ence of fifty cents pi r day. There also a differein f titty cents for stopers and twenty five cents for drift iug and cross cutting. For pump men and timber men the miners ask $4 for eight hours and tbe operators offer $4 for ten hours or 3.50 for eight hours in an ouier items tno two scales are the same. The committee de.-lared that there would lie no interference ou the part of the unions with the operators run ning their mines with non union men. provided they could get them and bob! them, but that the union wool do everything in its power to lawfully persuade men to joiu the union and stand by the uniou principles.

Take your kodak Bate. fininhiiig; to u Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 13, 1903. To whom it may concern : As a result of serious consideration of all questions involved directly and indirectly which has occasioned differences between miners and operators, the following scale of wages was agreed upon by the Yavapai Mine Operator? Association: Sinkiug in dry shaft, $3.50. Sinking in wet shaft and miners furnish, $4. Sinking in wet shaft and operators furnish, $3.50. Winzes and raises, 9J.M. Drifting and cross cutting, $3 25. Stopers, muckers and trammers, tit being understood that trammers are to serve as muckers when required ., $3. Shovelers, $2.75. Pumpmen, $3.50, for ten hours, $4. Timber meu, $3.50, for ten hours, $4. Machine men, $3.50. In submitting tbe above schedule of wages tbe Mine Operators do not wish to be understood as being arbitrary; realizing that conditions may arise where in justice to all, changes can and should be made and if tbe miners will meet tbe operators in tbe spirit that prompts this communication, there would seem to be little left to cause friction or misunderstanding and tbe development of the vast mineral resources of the county should proceed uninterrupted and with great advantage directly or indirectly, to every citizen in the county. It is the desire of the operators as unanimously expressed to pay the miners as good wages as possible with out seriously jeopardizing the inter ests and proerties they represent. Respectfully submitted. Yavapai Mine Operators Association, F. M. Murphy, President. The uuion men said they bail 110 authority to further consider the mat ter, that tbe union was simply trying to establish a uniform scale for the entire district, and that they would endeavor to do all in their power to lawfully carry out their principles. Mr. Murphy tbeu announced that the operators would go ahead and try to get men to run their mines indepen dent of the union, and would treat all fairly, justly and honestly, and Hint M animosity would lie entertained toward tbe union or Its members, and all they Mired MM that the unions do not interfei with I be operations of their proeil pMk. A vole of thank- was then extended to Mayor Burke, chairman of the meeting, for bla effort to briug about J. M. Sullivan, president of tbe Great Republic Mining compauy. operating some fine looking proxTty ou lower Turkey creek, came in fron the mines last evening and reports 1 very narrow escape from death of those at his camp Saturday evening just before dark. A very heavv rain and wind storm came up just after the family had finished supper. They were all 111 tbe house, which is built 011 a little bar like formation several feet above the tied of Turkey creek This ground had never been known to overflow liefore and they felt quite secure, but all at once they noticed a great volume of water coming down the creek and they left tbe house for high ground with the children as quickly as possible but liefore tbey could get out the water was over knee deep and inside of fifteen minute after the water began to come up if was five or six feet deep where the house stood and flowing in a raging torrent. The house and every vestige of tbe camp was swept awav and the only thing that has erer been seen of anything that was in tbe camp was a lookiug glass, which was found next day with not even the glass broken. Besides Mr. Sullivan and familv there was Mr. Oakman and famih. and all these folk were left in a dreuchine storm, just at dark with tbe nearest neighbor that tbey ooaJ i reach nearly two miles away. Mr. Childer, whose camp at the Bidden Treasure was about two miles away feared that something might have happened to these folk and as soou as he could get out started for the Qrwl Republic camp and assisted tbe unfortuBste people to his camp where tbey were kindly cared for. The next day the owner of what is known as tbe Frankie house, offered tbem the use of Un building until they could rebuild their camp, while will bedoueat once. Thursday at Euchre. Mrs. H. D.

Delicious refreshments were served during the afternoon. The Journal-Miner this morning re ceived a box of specimens from tbe recent strike near Kingman, the donor being Capt. W. H. Hardv, the veteran Indian fighter and prominent citizen of that county. Accompanying tbe samples was the following letter, dated August 13: "1 enclose some specimens of mag netic iron ore such as is found in great quantity near Kingman. A man from Cripple Creek made the discov ery. He quietly located sixty claims, but afterwards dropped nineteen leav ing him forty one claims. This would make 820 acres of a mine, without a clay seam or real rock. Several parties who are his backers soon ap peared on the scene and still people come.
