Prohibition

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 As you have opened your columns for free discussion of the prohibition aues- tion, and sarfrousp am rot a eitizrrr- Alabama, but since it is my native state therefore feel an interest in the welfare of its citizens, and am convinced that their interest can be better served under. prohibition than under saloons.
 If the state is again to be thrown open to the legalized saloon, l freely admit [ prefer my adopted state. Mississippi
 q am firmly of the opinion that prohi- biton laws have proved a failure in this district, and I have yet to learn of any community where they have been suc- cess."-Dr. E. T. Field, in Age Herald of June 3O
 Prohibition has been given a thorough trial, I think it has signally failed."- J. D. Carlisle, in Age Herald of June 2s.
 Prohibition ha sbeen given a thorough trial and has failed woefully."-E. II. Collier in Age Herald of June 2s. r l give these gentlemen credit for being honest in their opinions, but they must not have travelled outside their district of late years. To say that prohibition, does not prohibit is no fault of the law. but is only bringing indictment against the constituted authorities whose duty it is to enforce the laws, for there are communities where prohibition has been in force for years and has proven suc- cess. l invite the gentlemen to Mssis- sippi, where prohibition is a signal suc- cess, and there is no thought of ever re- turning to the saloon.
 I venture the suggestion that these gen. tlemen have not been as energetic and earnest in their endeavors to see that the prohibition laws were enforced as they will be in working for the return of the saloon.
 Again, Mississippi has been fortunate in the fact that 1t has a Christian governor, who not only breaches and advocates prohibition. but has visited every section of the state featuring on law and order, and personally assisting in organizing law enforcement leagues.
 l submt that prohibition in Alabama has not been given a fair trial and 1t Is a reflection on the manhood of Alabama to surrender to organized evil and the in- fluence of the brewers and their millions of corruption money.
 l challenge every man who is now working for the return of the saloon to put forth the same interest and energy toward the enforcement of the law, and prohibition in Birmingham will be as well enforced as any other prohibitory law.
 To say that there is community where prohibition is a success Is closing eyes to facts and positive proof.
 I quote in an extract from the grand jury report of Tuscumbia Ala. From our investigation we are firmly convinced, since the reign of prohibition, public drunkenness has been decreased largely and the illicit sale of whisky has been reduced to small scale"

WHAT AN EXPERT
 CAN DO WITH SOIL Jay A. BOnsteel in Love With His Work TALKS OF ALABAMA Can Sit at His Desk and Tell What Crops Are Best for Almost
 Any County in the
 Country
BY WALTER HARPER.

Washington, June 30.-(Special) Hello, Alabama farmer, where did you leave that mustache? Your disguise is fraud. Say, but that was a jolly trip we had through Lamar and Marion counties, wasn't it?' That was the cheery greeting I received on entering the private office of Jay A. Bonsteel, scientist in soil survey in the new annex to the United States depart ment of agriculture yesterday.
 Of course was tickled that Jay had not forgotten me after a number of years, We were only together for a few days, and those were very busy days travelling over mighty rough section of north Ala bama in rain and mud, making quick stops for farmers institutes along the way and then hurrying on to the next place under great climatic difficulties
 That was when we followed Capt. Rich mond P. Hobson over his district consult ing with the farmers on advance methods of agriculture.
 But Jay never forgets anything, espe- cially soils.
 Whether he classes me in that division l have studiously declined to consider. il Sitting at the plain. fiat-top table in the center of his office Mir Bonsteel has a most wonderfully comprehensive knowl- edge of the soil types of the United States He can talk off hand about the Norfolk fine sandy loams of Baldwin, Ala, the Houston black clays tof Colorado, the all kali types of the Pacific costal plains or the Hagerstown fine loams of Cahaba and Jones valley. in Jeffersons county. Alabama, with as much ease as the rail- road superintendent can discuss the prop critics under his personal supervision.
 He is a wonder when it comes to an- alyzing soil-dirt, if you please. and it is science-one of the true sciences of the age.
 He can walk out into the fields of Mis- sissippi, Oregon, Maine or Texas. scratch up handful of soil and tell you what 1t will growsto the finest perfection. talk ing into consideration. of course. rain fall, climatic and other important con- dtions.
 I believe he can go farther than this. I believe that he can take a sack of dirt shipped to him from most any section of the country and he can identify the state rom wnlchslt was brought
 Now. my friend Jay puckers his rose buy mouth Che, too, has recently dis carded his mustache) when l asked if he could do this and smiles wisely while he pleads that We should not put him to the test. r4.-.
 Mir. Bonsteel is one of those young men who decided early that trusts. corpora tions, centralization of capital and good jobssldo, not stand in the way of man who will work. He started at the bottom as a helper in soil survey party, I believe, in the hills of North Carolina. If it was his duty to carry sack of dirt to the station to be shipped to Washing ton for expert chemical test he carried the sack to the depot with scientific thoughtfulness and 5care. 4 Se3 7 He worked out the reason for carrying the sack to the depot. why the dirt was sent to Washington and when the report

 Morenci Leader; Mir. k. c. Por- ter. who has had his invention known as the Porter Sinner" on trial at the A. c. mill for the past several months has proved to he success and the A. C. Company will use number of the machines in their new mill. Mir. Porter left yesterday for Clifton to demon- strate his invention to the Shan non Copper Company in view of sell them. A description of the Porter Sinner" was given in the Morenci Leader several weeks ago.
 Yuma Sun: Supervisor w. E. Marvin came in yesterday from the Big Eye mining district. He re- ports continued rich development upon the Big Eye and on the claims located by himself and others among which are the White Elephant and the Scorpion, some very rich ore has been uncovered. Mir. Marvin Is enthusiastic over the showing thus far made and is sure that he and the boys connected with him have at least found the real thing. Mir. Marvin will re- main in Yuma until after court and will then return to the new strike to continue the development of the claims.
 Phoenix Republican: MT. T. E, Campbell. general manager of the Haynes Copper Company, left for New York Monday morning on a very important mission affecting the future of that corporation plans having been decided upon for the carrying out of the largest development ever attempted in which he will have been drafted on which he will be consulted, says the Prescott Journal Miner. Mir Campbell states the new mine work was decided upon as the result of a recent examination made by con. sulting engineers and that it i: warranted by the showing since operations were resumed several months ago.

done during the last two years, c. c. Harris, the principal stock holder of the company, who. re- turned to Phoenix yesterday after making thorough examination of the mines, believes he has good reason for believing that the claims will be mum mbered among the great copper producing properties of the southweit. MT. Harris came out from Findlay, Ohio, where he has his home, with other principal stockholders of the company about two weeks ago, and he has passed the entire time in sampling the lodges of his claims, and in study ing the character of the formation. He believes, as a result of these ex aminations and assays, of some of which he was willing to give the returns, that the development of the next twelve months will block out a body of ore of such propOr- tions as to justify him in his as- sertions that there is not, at this time, more promising claim, or group of claims in Arizona than those owned by his company.
 Parker Post: E. A. Clark, gen. eral manager of the Cleopatra Arizona Mining < Milling Com pany spent Monday here, having come in from the company's prop erty near the Bill Williams river, the previous night. Mir.

Drilling is now in pro- gress for the purpose of securing an adequate water supply for domestic purposes as well as prospecting the ground. The general average of the ore opened thus far has been 6 per cent copper and about S6 in gold per ton, although samples of gold ore have been taken out run. , ming $l38. Robert Swartz, who has just secured options on number of properties in the Copper Basin district, is the principal stock holder in the Cleopatra Arizona. , Mir, Clark stated that machinery would be put in at an early date and the property exploited on g good scale.
