Their By-Laws and Scale of Wages
WJiat They Propose to
Accomplish.
j
At a meeting of the Yavapai County i
Mine Operators assoeiatiou.ou Friday,
June 5, 1903, the members by a uuau- I
imous vote decided that the by-laws,
list of member- and schedule of wages
adopted, should be published and be
given as wide publicity as possible
throughout Northern Arizona.
The recent eight hour law enacted
by the territorial legislature was the
principal reason for the formation of
the association, it being considered
that uniform action, in this connec
tion was very desirable. Hut, as
stated in the by laws, the purposes of
the association are general in their
nature, having to do with any ques- j
tion which will advance and promote I
t.hA mininff i ntprut-; mul in wtiiet. '
uniform action would be desirable.
.The schedule of wages adopted, in the :
opinion of the operators is a most j
fair and liberal one. being an advance j
in the rate per hour over the schedule I
in force formerly, and is as high as
the operators feel able to pay. It is
the purpose of the association to make !
the membership as comprehensive as I
possible and to that end all oerators
and owners of mines in Northern Ari
zona are iuvited to join the associa
tion. The following are the by laws, as
amended and adopted by the Yavapai
County Mine Operators Association:
Whereas, At a meeting of the mine
operators of Yavapai county, on May
15th, 1093, it was deemed advisable
that an association Vie formed of such
operators for the purpose of advanc
ing the mining interests of the county
in any and all wavs;
Therefore, lie is resolved : ;

unite in such an association which
shall be called and known as the I
"Yavapai County Mine Operators ;

the following by laws : j

that the shut down is for an indefinite
time.
Johu Wilson, an employe of the Je

in from the property last evening and
reports that the indications were very
strong that sulphide ore would soon
be struck in the mine. He reports
that Dr. Janes, of Pasadena. Cali

capitalist, of Minneapolis, and Steve
Graves, of Los Angeles, who went out
to the property last Monday in com
pany with Supt. Jos S. Smith, to ex

their examination and left for home,
going by way of Jerome. They were
greatly pleased with the property and
the work being done.
