GEORGIA is NOW "oTT."
First In South to Put state ProhibL
ton Into Effect.

s''N~ S''NSe
Atlanta, Jan. 2.-With the advent
OF the new year the law preventing
the manufacture and sale OF intoxi-
eating liquor. passed by the last SEES
sion OF the legislature, became effec-
tive, making Georgia the first OF the
southern states to 10 placed In the
prohibition column The law Is very
drastic In its prohibition and prevents
the keeping or giving away OF liquors
In public places and imposes a tax
Of $500 on clubs whose members are
allowed to keep drinks OF an intoxi-
eating nature In their individual lock
Ors.
Notwithstanding the passage OF this
law there is some agitation TO have
It declared unconstitutional. This &C
ton may be brought In the United
States courts next month,
1t Is estimated that Atlanta alone
In license taxes $50 ,6l2 and that the
property value of saloons and brew
cries here which went out OF bus
mess on January Is from $1,000, OvJ
to $1,000 900. For the rest OF the
state the property values involved are
about 100000. 1t is estimated that
10, 900 persons will lose their employ
ment when January l rang Its bell
on the sale OF intoxicating liquors.
That the prohibition law will be en-
forced there is no question, This Is
not the country OF "speak'easles. "
and when the police have their laws
they enforce them to the limit. Gov
ernor Smith and the city court Off
clals have been frank in their state
ments that they intend to enforce the
laws.
Many Of the more prominent clubs
have declared that they viii go one
better than the law and prohibit the
keeping OF liquor within their doors,
Governor Hoke Smith made this
statement
There is nothing In the effort to
attack the prohibition law on account
OF the provision Of the constitution
approprlating special hquoF taxes 10
school purposes. The constitution au-
thorizes but does not require a special
liquor tax.
THE properties which quit the liQ'
nor business are not lost. The brew
cries are prepared to manufacture Tee
and soft drinks. With these they
can pay fair profit on their invest
ments.
There Il plenty Of work In Geor'
gia for those who 90 out Of the liquor
business. and plenty OF work for all
Of the time for those who have wasted
half OF their time through the use OF

THE MAMMOTH MINE

Our attention has been called to an item in the Tucson Star relative to the destruction by fire of the Nam mOth-Collins Mines company's s0- stamp mill situated at Mammoth. this county. The item in question stated. in substance. that the loss of this S0- stamp mill was of no importance in as much as il was connected with an abandoned mine that had never amounted to anything although oper- ated at different times by different companies. Our esteemed contempor- ary is certainly not familiar with the
 history of the Mammoth property.
 For years il was the largest producer of gold in this territory ard it's total
 output was in the neighborhood of
 SIP GOO. 900 and it is capable. today. of duplicating that out-pnt thrice over. IL was not closed down because of an exhaustion of its magnificent ore bodies but because of disastrous cave-in Dhich entirely closed the main
 works on one side of the shaft from the surface down to the 750 foot level and buried thousands of tons of ore that had been broken down onto the |stope floors and was ready to be hoist
 ed This accident necessitated the closing down of the mill till virgin ground could be opened on the oppo- site side of the shaft. This took time and money and the stockholders were reluctant, of course, 10 put up the money and the matter is resting there The mine is as good as it ever was. At the I50-foot level the vein in 90 feet wide and averages about s9 gold per ton. Tucson was the supply point for this property and over s1.00O.00 were spent in that place for supplies Florence Blade

ElKS CLUB CASE
IN SUPREME COURT

Denver. Jan. y21.-Arguments were
heard in the supreme court yesterday
on case involving the right of So
cial club to sell liquor without TAX
ing out a license, also involving the
right of a city council to declare Il
bar at a social club a nuisance and
order it closed. also involving the
question as TO whether social cluD
can maintain bar in a town that has
gone prohibition and also involving u
number of other questions that rise il
the attempt of the authorities to dis
tinguish between the rights of a social
club where liquor is sold, and a sa-
loon.
The question comes from Canon
City and the case is known abbre-
waited as the City of Canon City vs..
the EIks' club. That is not the cor
rect title of the case but that is the
title by which it is known because
the fight is incidentally between the
City of Canon City and the Elks club
Of Canon City but prima-il@- the fight
is between the vets and the drys Of
the entire state.
In 1906 Canon City passed an ordi-
nance the effect of which was to de-
clare the bar of the Elks club a nui-
sance and order it to be discontinued.
Before the ordinance was enforced
the Elks club secured An injunction
against the city council enforcing the
ordinance. The city appealed to the
supreme court and the arguments
were heard today.
Arguments for the Elks club were
made by Clyde C. Dawson of Canon
City. and for the city argumsnts we're
made by H L. Ritter and Mr.. Sayre OF
the firm of Taylor & Sayre. After the
suit was started the importance OF
It was recognized and the Elks club is
being backed by all of the Elks clubs
in the state. also by other clubs Of
social organizations and also by those
interests that desire the sale of Ii
quors over the counters OF club.
Canon City is being backed by the
anti saloon league throughout the
state and by the district attorneys and
by the friends of prohibition and tenn
perance movements drought the en-
tire state.
