The 1924 votes cast in support of prohibit

yesterdays election, while the anti-prohibi.
tion forces have Increased from {, ,230 in 1886

course of two bcief years the prohibitionists
have lost upwards of 5000 votes, while their
opponents have gained about 10000 votes.
This certainly is a most emphatic verdict.
1t attests in the most forcible manner to tho
disappointment of the people in the results
OF prohibition. Neither is this surprising.
Rhode Island has been inundated by del.

only was liquor retailed openly by saloons,
but in addition every kitchen was converted
into barroom. Drunkenness, public dis
order, arrests and crime increased at an
alarming rate, and the return to a license
system became necessity lest the little
commonwealth should become sink of i'm
morality, intemperance and crime.

LEAD CrTr, Dak June 29.-fSpecial to THE
BEE. I'm every section of the Black Hills
an increasing activity in mining matters is
apparent. The Harney Peak Tin company
is steadily adding to the several forces of
worlkmen in its employ Mt different points,
1t is pursuing the most important operations
at Hill City, but is also developing claims at
Eta and other points. The directors of the
company, George Barring Gould, Prof. Vim
cent and James Wilson, have returned TO
New York, where more machinery will be
ordered.
The company now has three large hoists
and saw mill in course of erection, and
other machinery Is en- route to the mines.
The run of tailings in the company's mill, as
repaired and changed by Prof. Vincent, re-
suited in the extracting Of per cent of cos.

one connected with the company, as
per cent tin had already been
extracted from the ore. The forty
stamp mill of the Lookout company is stead
lily running to its fullest capacity. The re-
suit of the company's operations is probably
satisfactory, as the mill is shortly to be en-
larged by the addition of sixty stamps The
grading for the addition to the building is al
ready finished and a portion of the machinery
has arrived. The superintendent, M. H.

pended operations for ten days. Ores from
the Iron Hill, Spanish r. and Elk Mountain
companies properties will be re-
duced by the Soton smelter of
the Iron Hill company. A number of
Gelena mining companies are shipping ore to
Omaha and Kansas City for treatment, and
pool IS being organized among them for the
purpose of purchasing the Davy smeiter and
reducing the ore from their properties at
home. A test run of the Keystone chlorina-
tion works at Garden City, just completed,
shows that 95 per cent of the ore there
treated can be saved by the process there
used, which is an Improvement on the Platr-
ner and almost identical with the Newberry-
Vantin process. The Garden City district
contains large bodies Of ores which have
heretofore defied successful treatment, but
the chlorination at present being employed
appears to be the one desired. The Roch-
ester company has a diamond drill in opera
tion on Its property east OF this city, and is
thoroughly prospecting its principal claim.
The drill is advancing at the rate of fifty feet
