Especial Star Bulletin COrreSpondencel
WASHINGTON, ID. C., Dec. 10.-The
fight for prohibition in Hawaii and
the District of Columbia started off
like house afire." The major move
ment got under way before Congress
was a week old. In fact ii seemed
difficult to restrain the advance guard
until the opening day and the presi-
dents address were out of the way.
The fifth day of the session saw the
senate buisly engaged in discussing all
forms of wetness and dryness.
II is self-evident there will be no
let-up In the fight until March A.
There must either be legislation or a
good reason for postponing it. Notice
already has been served. on the house
that If a fair and square record vote is
refused by the leaders over there pro
hibition will be offered as an amend.
ment to the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill
II is accepted as certain that pro-
hibition will prevail, so far as this city
and Hawaii are concerned, if decis-
i've vote is reached. For that reason
the opponents will devote all of their
energies to preventing such vote.
Various plans already are under con-
sideration. The referendum is the one
most highly favored 1t is urged that
the citizenship of the affected terri
cQry be allowed to express their pref
enees in the matter This at least
would mean delay Senator Under
wood is strongly urging that this be
done.
Senator Sheppard, as heretofore, is
leading the fight for prohibition. He
is determined to win if possible at this
session. In such an event he will
bring up next year the struggle for
nationwide legislation to eliminate
rum. He believes the capital city and
Hawaii can be made dry before the
9TH OF March rolls around. All those
who think the same way are standing
right behind him.
Present indications are that the
fight will be pretty and lively one.
II will rage up and down during the
ensuing three months Whenever an
opportunity is presented the subject
will be brought forth for discussion.
Whenever there is lull pressure will
be brought to have decisive vote
taken.

greater depths than either the Biz Jim or the United Eastern have been developed to this date, the belief tha; the Big Jim ere body will continue with depth and increase in value a. depth is attained, seems very well founded.
 While the working shaft of tn. Ivanhoe is at a depth Of approximate ly 400 feet, splendid ore is being de yesoped near the surface on the Nancy Lee claim 700 feet from the shaft. Al incline shaft is being put down in the vein which at surface yielded abou' 6 inches of shipping ore. The width of this pay streak has increased some thing over IS inches, and values arc likewise increasing. Sampling of the ore from this streak gives. values ranging from SAG to SS5o per ton.
 For sometime developments in the workings of the Oatman Gold Mining & Milling Co. have been indicative oi near approach to ore. E. Nj. Brooks ae-of the most prominent mining engineers of the Southwest, has just made an investigation of and report on the property. and states that con ditions are such as to lead him tc believe that large ore shoot exists not far below the present cross-cut The company will explore the vein al a depth of 100 feet or more below the present cross-cut as rapidly as the shaft can be sent to the requiring point and the necessary laternal worh done. MT Brooks verifies the autheh ticity of the Big Jim strike, and states that more than 40 feet of ore were cross-cut.
 The Boundary Cone has now start ed it's new power plant in operation and will develop the important orc body already discovered at $50 feet will sing its shaft 200 feet deeper ant cross-cut to the vein from the 75C foot point. It is estimated that about 200 feet of cross-cutting will be neces sary.
 Developments in the Ovanhoe. Colo Range, Jerome-Oatman, United West ern and Black Range are such as tC cause the expectation of important news at most any time.

 phere. They investigated almost all of the known mining districts of the southern continent, and brought back with them a vast store of information relative to the mineral wealth of the various countries visited, and 1t was in Brazil that that they found this unusual and in some respects unrival- led gold mine. They tell about it in an article in the December number of the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union, Washington, D. O., from which the following facts are taken.
 The Morro Velho mine is located in the gold belt of Brazil, where. the Por- tugese were first induced to settle by the discovery of the yellow metal The first gold was discovered in 1899 near the present city of Ouro Preto. The gold was coated with black sub stance and hence was called "ouro preto''-black gold The city which they founded was long called Villa Rica de Ouro Preto-the Rich City of Black Coda name which was somewhat cumbersome even for the Portugese, so they finally shortened 1t to just Ouro Preto, the name by which it is known today. Once upon a time it was about the most important city in Brazil, gold working surrounding 1t and the valuable metal being obtained from almost every stream in the re- zion. Not only the stream gravels yielded gold. but many gold bearing quartz veins were worked.
 Just when the Morro Velho mine was first opened is not known,> but it was being operated toward the close
