Shipment Of Placer Result Of Dredo-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Breckenridge, Colo. Placer gold
amounting in value to $72,315 was
shipped during the first two weeks of
August from the Breckenridge district
to Denver. All but $6f5 was the re-
suit of dredging the stream beds by
four gold dredging boats which are
operated by electric power. The $615
was from couple of high-bar placers,
which are operating with only a par
tial supply of water.
The placer gold deposits in the
Blue river and its tributaries extend
from the head of Hoosier gulch to the
Grand river, a distance of approx
mately over sixty miles. There are
numerous "local sources of gold in
the the hills of the numerous small
creeks and gulches which have con-
tributed literally to the gold enrich
ment Of the main stream. There is
certainly plenty of room for the prof
table operation of an additional num-
ber of modern gold dredges in Sum-
NIT county, besides the four dredge
boats now operated in the Brecken-
ridge district.

WAR AGAINST ALCOHOL.


Get on the water wagon!" is now
the slogan of the New York health
department. Its head, DR.. Sigismund
s. Goldwater, says that anything
which affects the health Of the people
of o city Is a subject OF concern to
the health officials" and in accord
ance with this view he has declared
war on liquor. 1T is nonsense" he
says. ito go on fighting disease and
crime If we don't do something to abol-
ish the chief factor in causation.
There are too many people sick from
liquor in New York city-that's enough
for me. :. want it understood
that this is to be a real fight. It is
not enough to make occasional depre-
catory mention of alcohol and its re-
suits; we must have a definite antial-
cohol program. The work of the
health department in this field will
henceforth be systematic, aggressive
and unremitting." Every means OF
publicity will be utilized in this cam
paign. 1t will be spectacular and in
the vernacular, the rich mans cham
pagne and highballs, as we'll as the

beer, will be the object Of attack. 4
For months the New York state
board Of health has been giving out
to the press of the state, under the
title Health Hints" strong state
ments concerning the injurious effects
Of alcohol. Therefore the action now
taken by the New York city board Is
not great surprise. 1t Is being warm
ly commended by members Of the
medical profession, and without doubt
health officials of other cities will fol-
low the lead. 2

two. Then they tobogganed down to
fourteen, fluctuated there short time,
and took other drops, until they were
quoted two and half and five and a

rule" liquor amendment to the city
charter in May. ...
Attorney Helbig stated that he and
his clients hold that the prohibition
law has already been automatically
referred to the people by the filing
of the petition, and that the secretary
of state had no authority to refuse to
accept the petition.
He holds that the safety clutch
was not effective for the reason that
in this measure it was not linked with
an emergency provision in the law.
and for the further reason that it was
not passed by a two-thirds majority,
and was indeed, as he contends, not
passed by the Senate at all.
City Attorney Marsh took up with
Attorney General Farrar the proposal
of the City Council to bring about a
settlement of the "wet" and "dry"
controversy between Denver and the
state before the end of the year

preme Court.
Attorney General Farrar stated that
he would take the matter up further
with Governor Carlson upon his re-
turn to Denver, and that conference
between the parties interested will be
arranged.
