rise has been general.
In the southern states while the et-
feet of the rising pressures would be
to lower temperatures, the fair skies and
the proximity of the low in the Ohio
valley section have offser this tendency
and caused a slight rise. Wednesday
in this section will probably continue fair
with light northerly winds. Temperatures
during the day will be pleasant but ra
diation at night will be rapid, causing
Wednesday night to be rather cool
Thursday will probably be fair with
moderate temperatures.

Article From Constitution

The clipping inclosed by Mr. Sibley IS
from the Atlanta Constitution of January
%, 1872 and is headed, ATLANTA Will Soon
Be Smokeless City-Locomotives and
Steam Plants Are Making Many
Changes. 1t is as follows:
Twenty steam operating plants
in Atlanta, 10 of which have spent
moro than $4,000 since last October
to make the necessary changes to COM
ply with the city smoke ordinance, are
meeting the requirements of the LAW,
and 10 more plants, at the cost of
another $4,000, are making the
changes which are expected to bring
them within the ordinances, according
to the report of the Chamber of Com
merce committee on smoke abatement.
The plants which have complied
with the ordinances represent more
than so per cent of the horsepower of
the steam producing plants of the city,
exclusive of railroads. apartment and
public buildings.
THE committee reports that in the
center of the city the smoke from loco
motive engines has been reduced about
80 per cent. Atmospheric conditions.
explains the committee, have to some
extent misled the public as to the
progress made during the winter
months. because smoke falls in bad
weather and makes 1t appear very
much worse.
"To date the city has expended about
800 in addition to the Inspector s
salary in fighting the smoke nuisance

EFFECTS OF NEW LAW
Think Ordinance Impracticable Where
Soft Coal Must Be Used-Might
Be Heavy Blow at the Dis

The belief that The Weatherly smoke
ordinance is Impractical and will work
a hardship on the small manufacturers
seems to be pretty general among those
most familiar with the subject.
Il will do nothing that will hurt
the manufacturing interests of Bir-
mingham," stated City Commissioner A.
o Lane when asked yesterday for an
opinion on the smoke ordinance. Il
cannot tell you what ] am going to
do when the ordinance comes up for
adoption continued Mr.. Lane. 81 don't
know and he produced handful of
books and phamplets which he had been
studying. They all dealt with smoke
abatement. Il have been deeply study
ing the matter for some time, as you
see | will not cast my vote until l
have looked at the matter from every
angle. That's where SO many make
mistakes. They either cannot or they
neglect to look at things from every
viewpoint.
Il have not made up my mind. but
as | said, l consider our manufacturers
more important than the abatement of
the smoke they make and if l como
TO the decision that one can't get along
without the other / will do nothing
to hurt the manufacturer" Judge Lane
stated that the ordinance as amended
would probably not come up for final
action for three or four weeks.
President Culpepper Exum of the city
commission has made no direct state
ment in regard to his position on the
smoke ordinance. However, when the
amended ordinance was presented TO
the commission for action a week or
two ago it was Mr.. Exum who de-
layed it until he could look into the
matter further,

Smoke Goes With Soft Coal

''This district produces the soft coal
which makes black SMOKE said T.. b.
Erwin of Caheen Brothers, "and as long
as we have manufacturers will have
smoke. 1t is impossible to regulate the
smoke from this kind of coal without a
great amount of study and experiencing
by skilled and efficient engineers and
experts and there is great doubt If 1t
can be done then.
The smoke from the manufacturing
districts has never been regulated else
where where they have to burn our kind
of coal. Any attempt TO enforce the
smoke ordinance will hurt the city. 1t
will do great harm to the small manu-
facturers. 1t will not only keep future
manufacturers from locating here. but
1t is going to drive lots of them away
who are already here. They simply can't
operate and obey the law. This thing
has done whole lot of harm already,
for it is being published in all parts of
the country and whenever a prospective
manufacture sees 1t he drops all consid-

whether or not we can ever get our smoke

we are at now.
1--WE are spending money in installing

that does not work we will have to try
something else. This coal here has much
to do with it. When it is burned it cre-

little benefit can be derived from proper

Champion Mine is Reopened.

One of the best of the early silver mines of the 5ilobe district. discovered In 1875, when the Champion mine owned by l.. J. Webster, we'll know n merchant of Globe. The mine pro- duced phenominally rich ore from the grass roots. In 1876 a sample of ore from the Champion mine was exhib- ited at the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia and was awarded the blue ribbon.
 From 1875 to 1881 the Champion is said to nave produced two hundred thousand dollars worth of silver and like many other silver mines in the district, was shut down only after sill yer was demonetized and the price of the white metal had fallen below a point that made it profitable to oper- ate. The last word done on the Champion was by leasers in 1884, since which time it has stood idle and prac- tically abandoned, although the prop erty had been patented by it's owner.
 In the 20 years that the mine has lain idle the weather created havoc at the mouth of the tunnel and finally caused cave-in which effectually ob- liberated all signs of the former work ings, it's exact location even passed out of the mind of the present owner of the property, G. T. Webster, who is not mining man.
 Recently Mir. Webster decided that something should be done with the property and so he disposed of a half interest in it to Col. James A. Fleming Col. Fleming sent Engineers Botts- ford and Osborn to the property and now, after careful investigations, these men located the portal of the tunnel and succeeded in removing the earth and rock that had hidden it from view for these many years.
 Yesterday Col. Fleming, Mr. Osborn and John Crampton, who had been employed in the mine in the early days and is familiar with the work. ings. went to the property and ex- plored the tunnel for $50 feet and one winze to the depth of fifty feet. locat- ing the vein and finding good ore in both openings. There were two or three other winzes that were consid- cred too dangerous to enter but their investigations, as far as made, con. vlueed them that there was sufficient ore in the mine that could be readily followed to justify further develop. ment.
 For several weeks the owners have had ore sorters employed sorting the old dumps and have thus far discov- cred about carload of ore running sixty ounces or more in silver to the ton. One specimen taken from the dump by Engineer Osborn is covered with horn silver and will assay prob- ably several thousand dollars to the ton.
 After they had explored the work ings the party sat down and ate their lunch in the tunnel which was per- fectly dry with walls every where in- tact and air pure.
 It is the intention of the owners to begin work with small force at once to develop the property further. A shipment of the ore taken from the dump will be made in the near future.
 The Champion was only one of the many silver mines here that gave Globe It's early renown as one of the richest silver districts in Arizona. It IS hoped that the rediscovery of the Champion will lead to the rs-openlng of other silver properties that were producers in the late seventies and early eighties.-Clfton Copper Era.
