Hon. Charles [. Swain VIII Manage
Dry Campaign.

Dry Campaign.
Cincinnati, 0.-HOn. Charles l.
Swain, former speaker off the Ohio
House of Representatives, and recog-
nized as one Of the leading citizens
Of that city, and of the state, has
been selected to manage the dry
campaign in Hamilton county. Mr.
Swain has accepted and will give his
time to the task of cutting down the
wet majority and increasing the dry
vote in the biggest wet center in the
state.
Under Mr.. SWANS leadership, the
drys expect to make great gains in
Hamilton county. In 1915 that
county made better showing than
in 1914 In 1914 the dry vote in the
county was 17,457 and the wet vote
93,153. In 1915 the drys polled
20,647 and the vets 89,091. While
the wet majority in 1914 was 1886
it was cut to 68,444 in 1915. The
drys believe they will cut this ma
jority in two this year.

Brewery Becomes Toy Factory,

Troy, Ohio.-The old brewery in
this dry town has been sold and ma
chinery installed for the manufacture
of toys. Henceforth the old concern
will make children happy instead of
making them miserable. The brew
cry has been idle since Troy became
dry more than eight years ago. Now
a novelty company has bought the
property and the wheels will soon be
in motion for the making of toys. A
number of families will move to dry
Troy as the result of this business
deal.

Eindtav and Bellaire.

Findlay, Ohio.-This dry town is
quite well pleased with itself, in com.
pairing arrests made in Findlay with
those made in the wet city Of Bellaire.
Findlay has three or four thousand
more people than Bellaire, but there
were 26 more arrests for drunken
ness in wet Bellaire in the month of
February than in dry Findlay during
the entire year of 1915. OF the 256
arrests in Bellaire during February
for all causes. 223 were arrested on
charges naturally due to drink.

The farmers of Ohio, always strong
supporters of Prohibition, promise to
be more active this year than ever be-
fore. The Grange will take a lead
ing part in the campaign. It has ad-
vocated state and national Prohibi-
tion for years. County Oranges are
meeting and calling upon the subor-
dinate Oranges to line up and get
busy. L. j. Tabor, head of the order
in the state. is member of the State
Campaign Committee, and will give
much of his time in behalf Of the
amendment.

The work of organizing the coun-
ties of Ohio for the dry campaign is
progressing rapidly. All over the
state the wheels will be fully in mo-
tiOn before the close of April and
petitions to initiate the dry amend
ment will, no doubt, be in circulation
early in May. In many of the coun-
ties not only is the organization fully
completed, but compaign managers
are on the job and laying their plans
for the prosecution of vigorous cam
paign.
The drys are greatly encouraged by
reason of the numerous agencies
which stand ready to support the Pro-
hibition amendment There is a par
ticularly friendly feeling on the part
of employees as well as workingmen.
Capital and labor both look upon the
liquor traffic as an unnecessary waste
and responsible for an economic loss
so great that it must not be permit
ted to continue.
Reports from states where Prohi-
bition is in operation are so favorable
to the new order of things that it is
no longer an experiment and the dire
predictions of the vets cause no
alarm. The drys assert the cam
paign starts out with the best pos
sible prospects of victory in Novem-
ber.

FRANCE SOUNDS WARNING

Says Drink Is as Much the Enemy Of
France as ls Germany.
On the walls of every post office in
France the government has ordered
the following declaration, signed by
the President, to be exhibited:
ITO French Women and to Young
Frenchmen:
DRINK is AS MUCH YOUR
ENEMY AS GERMANY.
"Since 1870 it has cost France in
men and money much more than the
present war.
Drinkers age quickly. They lose
half their normal life, and fall easy
victims to many infrmities and ill
nesses.
"The seductive drinks of your par
ents reappear in their offsprings as
great hereditary evils. France owes
40 alcohol great many mad men
and women and consumptives, and
most of her criminals.
Drink decreases by two-thirds our
national production; it raises the cost
Of living and increases poverty.
"In imitation of the criminal
Kaiser, drink decimates and ruins
France, to the great delight Of Ger
many.
Mothers. young men, young girls,
wives! Up and act against drink in
memory Of those who have gloriously
died or suffered wounds for the Faith
erland! You will thus accomplish a
mission as great as that Of our heroic
soldiers"

War WILL HELP
MAKE OHIO DRY
Is Belief Of The State Dry
Managers.
LIQUOR TRAFFIC A LIABILITY

European Nations Quick to Discover
That Drink Was Their Greatest
Handicap and This Country Likely
to Have Same Experienee-Drys
Pushing Work Of Organizing the
State For the Campaign.
Columbus, O.-Members of the
Campaign Committee of the Ohio Dry
Federation having in charge the or
ganization of the state for the Pro-
hibition amendment, believe that the
war with Germany will mean addi-
tional thousands of dry votes this
year. They think the people will
quickly find out that the liquor traffic
will be a tremendous liability and a
hindrance to the preparedness so nee
essary for vigorous prosecution of
the war.
The European nations were not
slow in discovering that the liquor
traffic was their greatest handicap
and that it prevented speedy war
preparations. The struggle was not
very old until Russia became a pro-
hibitiOn country and all the nations
of the world agree that action was
Russia's salvation at the front and
among the people at home.
Severe restrictions amounting to
prohibition in many instances were
adopted by the other warning nations.
1t was Lloyd George who asserted
that drink, not Germany, was Eng
lands greatest foe and the longer the
war continues the stronger is Prohi-
bition sentiment throughout Great
Britain.
The Ohio Dry campaign managers
are of the opinion that attention will
be more sharply directed to the lack
of efficiency caused by drink and that
voters will realize they cannot afford
to tolerate any traffic or institution
which units young men for being at
their best in the service of their
country.

ROYAL is RICH.

A sample of the ore brought from
the Royal recently by Gus Damn, OF
this city, one of the large stockholders
was assayed in Spokane which gave
the following returns: Silver, 9O460
ounces; value, $S29.55, copper, 1075
per cent; value. $5O75; lead, 1910 per
cent; value, $12.S4; total value, $S9314.
Mr.. Damn, who visited the property
about two weeks ago, says that pre-
variations are being made to begin
shipping ore and that a contract mas
been entered into to haul 'it to the
railroad, a distance of about two
miles. The Royal, formerly known as
the Charcoal, is in Missoula county,
Montana, and about six miles from
Potomac a station on the Milwaukee,
spur from the main line is within
two miles of the mine

CEDAR CREEK.
Drift Under Shaft Shows Fully 18
Inches of Ore.


Inches of Ore.
William Weyer, one of the large
stockholders in the Cedar Creek Min
ing & Development company, returned
from the property the first of the
week. The water for power continues
short and only one shift of three men
is working. The drift east from the
crosscut has now been extended about
500 feet and the face is now practic-
ally under the shaft The amount Of
ore has steadily increased for con-
siderable distance and the face of the
drift now shows fully Is inches of
good milling ore. After an examina-
tion recently the companys engineer
gave it as his opinion that the vein
had split some distance back, the
south branch having been followed,
and he suggested that a crosscut be
run north to cut the north branch.
This crosscut was started this week
and if this theory proves correct the
north vein should be cut in about 30
feet.

SUCCESS INJUNCTION.
Pfirman Says Reason No Longer Ex-
lists and Asks Court to Dismiss 1t.

Last April, upon representations
made by Franklin Piirman and wife,
Judge Woods issued an order restrain
ing the Success Mining company from
holding it's annual meeting, whereup-
on it was adjourned until December
II. This move by Mr. Pfrman was
made in connection with the fight he
was making in the courts to compel
the management of the Success to per-
nit an inspection of it's books and rec
ords, with the view to ultimately gain
ing control of the company. Since the
injunction was issued Mr.. Pfrman
has been successful in having the af-
fairs of the company examined by an
expert and the disclosures made have
been transmitted to the stockholders
of the company. Mr.. Phrman states
in his affidavit asking that the in
junction be dismissed that he repre-
sents the majority stockholders Of the
company, and that the reasons for
asking and granting the restraining
order forbidding the meeting no long
er exist and that the order should
therefore be vacated What the at
titude of the Success company will be
toward this application does. not yet
appear If the meeting is held Mr..
Pfirman is understood to have the ne
cessary votes to control it, and if it is
not held the present officers will hold
over indefinitely or as long as the in
junction stands.

Gently crosseut at a point under
the main outcrop was almost
barren of ore, but subsequent
development indicates that this was
merely one of those frequent freaks
OF mining operations through which
Crosscuts hit the lean spots while
every rule of reason would lead one
to expect to cut the ore body which
is soon proved to be near by. In this
case the Sherman management, at
tracted by stringer of galena about
two inches wide some 100 feet back
from the point of intersection, decii-
ed to raise on it and see what it would
lead to. On Tuesday this raise had
been extended 35 feet above the drift
and the 2-inch stringer had Widened
into IA feet of solid shipping ore. The
raise is still going UP and it is prob
able that another will soon be started
to determine the length of the shoot.
This ore is at a depth of probably 700
feet from the surface and 500 feet be-
low the ore shoot DISCLOSED in the

probable that a lower tunnel will find

1t was just 80 days on November %
since the crosscut was started on the
500 level of the Tarbox, and on that
date it had been advanced just 800
feet or at the rate of 10 feet per day.
The ground is Burke quartzite. At
this rate the vein should be reached
most any day, as the estimated dis
tance is $3.50 feet, Manager Richard
Daxon went over to the mine Tuesday

there until the vein is reached. The
progress of the crosscut is being
watched with unusual interest, for the
showings of ore on the 400 and 600
levels indicate that an even better
grade of ore will be found on~the 500.

November 19 the proposition from the
Rex Consolidated Mining company,
which has the property of the old Rex

for 100000 shares while the old COM
pany had only 100000 The details
of the deal were furnished the stock
holders in detail by the secretary of
the company in a recent circular let

Rex stock had no market value, and
that by adopting the plan suggested
the Rex owners will secure stock in
an active company which will have
sufficient funds to further develop the
Rex mine and also to bring to a pro-

Plans of Operation.
AS stated, the Rex Consolidated
company has capital stock of 5,OOO,-
600 shares. OF these 100000 shares
will go to the holders of old Rex stock
and 100000 shares will be placed in
the treasury and sold at Is cents per
share to provide funds for further de-
velopment of the Rex and for work
and equipment of the Miami property.
In a letter to the stockholders of the
Rex Consolidated Mining company the
following reference was made to the
Miami zinc lead property:
"A syndicate composed of some OF
the larger stockholders and directors
of the company have secured by pur-
chase, on unusually favorable terms,
leases on six 40-acre tracts (making
compact area of 240 acres), situated
in the producing section Of the dis
trict referred to, above. This proper
ty has already been sufficiently proven
by drilling to practically assure the
existence of payable ore in large guam
titles. Further extensive drilling is
now in progress. This property will
be turned over to the Rex company
by the syndicate at actual cost. 1t is
confidently expected that with the ac-
quisition of the Miami property, and
the carrying out of the above proposed
objects, the original Rex property in
the Occur d'Alenes will be able to give
a good account of itself and that with

The National mill is now handling

and this appears to be about the limit
with the present facilities for deliver
ing ore from the mine. The company
has for some time had under consid
Grafton the purchase of a gasoline mo-
tor to take the place of the cleo
trio motors now in use. 1t is now
learned that a decision has been reach
ed to install it and the order will be
placed at once. The gasoline motor is
guaranteed to meet all the require
ments of the company, and when it is
in operation the management will be
able to bring the milling capacity up
to 300 tons per day. This it must be
understood represents only half the
total capacity Of the mill, only one
unit being in operation. New levels
are being opened up in the mine,
which indicates that it will be only a
question of time until the mill can be
supplied with ore TO it's full capacity
