Bisbee Miners to Earn $5.25 Per Day Despite Copper Price
In the Bisbee Warren District, miners will continue earning the current daily wage for four months, even though the government fixed copper at 23.4 cents. Employers and employees alike acknowledge the wage rate remains tied to the 25 cent copper scale, with the 23.4 cent production price affecting profit but not the current pay. Various job roles listed reflect workers such as trackmen, mule drivers, watchmen, and other mining staff, all maintaining the same four month rate. In another district, wages will match the present month’s level for the four months.
