improving right along. Mr.. Jacobson
brought along a big chunk of 30 per
cent copper ore, taken from new dis
covcry above the 400 foot level The
ore is beautiful TO look at, containing
malachite and azurite of copper, and
It's copper contents is such that the
management is feeling In very com
placent mood.
In addition TO this discovery the
face Of the drift on the 400'foot level
Is reported 10 be looking exception
ally good just now. From small
streak of ore a week or two ago the
ore body in this drift has widened to
a full face Of shippin gore. Mr.. Jacob
son did not wish TO accentuate this de-
veloDment. as he said enough work
has not been done TO determine the
permanency of the ore body through
which the drift is being run. All that
is known Is that there is full face
OF ore Of good grade on that level,
and the future looks very encouraging,
to say the least.
The mine is not shipping the ton
mage it could If the means of trans
portation were better. but some ship
ments are being made and the mine is
being shaped up for heavy produc,
Jion later on.

The barbers and the doctors. strange combination. have made the first com plaint against the present stringent prohibition laws.

Nor is he the only physician who has found that the stringent law has handicapped him some in his practice. But the druggists of Montgomery say they dc not propose to risk a term In jail by selling any alcohol. after the Legislature, in It's wisdom, has declared that they shall not.
 The barbers are worried about it They are still using their stock of bay rum, but 1t has been pointed out that the possession or the use of bay rum because of it's per cent of alcohol. is against the law. The barbers have used alcohol for shampooing and rubbing heads. And those barber shops which have bath room attachments have been accustomed to furnish their patrons with alcohol for a rub after a bath. This has been stopped. There are no more alcohol shampoos and there are no more alcohol rubs after a hath.
