MANY SALOON MEN
| ASK FOR TRANSFER
OF THEIR LICENSES
First Session of Court Since
Summer Marked by Activ-
ity in Seeking Changed Lo-
cation or Ownership.

The first session of the License Court
since the early part Of last summer to-
day brought out long list OF applca-
tions for the transfer Of liquor licenses
from person 20 person or from place to
place. The list called by Judges carr
and Davis included t3S retail license pc
titions and Is wholesale cases.
The application for the transfer Of sa-
loon privileges from one location to au-
other received the most attention from
d. Clarence Gibbones. Of the Law and
order Society and unless the reason for
requesting the courts permission To- move
rested on a substantial foundation and
for new place in the immediate vicr-
ity Of the old stand, the Judges did not
seem much inclined to favor such apple
cations but they took all applications
for change of location under Considera-
tion.
Petitions for transfers from person to
person Jared better and generally we're
granted excepting in some cases where
the license-holder had financial difficult
ties with creditors. In several cases Mr..
Gibbony intimated that the men who
desired to have licenses transferred to
them were not entirely the proper persons
20 have liquor license and thssc cases,
too were held under consideration by tho

ARE DRIVING TO CUT
CHARTER OAK LEDGE

Ed Wilson returned yesterday from
Hamilton where he spent a couple of
weeks looking after his mining inter
ests in that part of the White Pine
district south of Hamilton.
Wilson and Ole Johnson own the
Charter Oak claim and Shamrock and
Upton groups and are driving a tun-
mel on one of the Upton claims with
the object of reaching the Charter
Oak ledge at the depth of 500 to 600
feet. The tunnel was driven 140
feet where a ladge of spar and quartz
was struck and this has been followed
for a distance of 100 feet on the
footwall. A crosscut is now being
put through to the hangingwall. The
quartz carried silver values but no
assays of samples have been made
though Mr.. Wilson brought over
some samples for that purpose.
Hamilton and the greater part of
the mining district surrounding it are
in snow that is now beginning
to disappear. 1t is expected the COM
ing summer will witness great &C
tivity in mining in all parts of the
district as several new projects are to
