Syndicate will Take
Over Manhattan Union

An expert examination is now
being made on the property of the
Manhattan Union company in
East Argentine with the view to
its being taken over by syndicate
of mining men who are financially
prepared to again put these mines
on the shipping list.
There are large streaks of ore
varying from one foot to two feet,
exposed in the mine. The prin-
cipal values are in zinc, which
runs as high rs 50 percent with
very little asserting, and some
silver and gold.
The great drawback, however, is
the large volume of water to be
handled. This will necessitate
the installation of a powerful
pumping plant, which will insure
regular monthly shipments.
A comfort station of primative.
design has been placed on the camp
ing grounds at the cold soda spriug.
The station, which was donated by
j. W. B. Smith, was placed in po-
sition by Tom Jones and has been
a convenience to many tourist
campers, and asource of relief to the
neighbors surrounding the camping
grounds.

Public opinion regarding the pest

pictures. The public has awakened Ia
this fact. People realize that censor

Despite the fact that last year bills
providing for censorship were intro
| ducrd in the legislatures Of more than
Twenty-Five SrttaS, in not one OF them
was it established. AS the date OF the
opening OF the Legislative sessions OF
| 1918 approaches there is little evil
dence Of sentiment in favor Of multi
plying the activities Of the legal cen
scr. In stales where the question Is
being discussed the subject OF discus
sion IS elimination Of censorship. Ihe
grounds are failure TO perform the
service for which it was established
politics. and LACK OF patriotism OIL the
! part Of the cenSorS.
Censorship in practice does not fuI'
fill the ideals of those most anxious
/ 70 improve pictures,
The demand for censorship in the
past has been due chiefly TO the pro-
duction OF a dozen photoplays of queS'
tiunable character. and to the lnser'
ton of certain unwholeSome details III
other pictures. Posters misleading In
their character aroused an antaGon'
istic feeling toward motion pictures
Those in whom this feeling WAS awak'
enrd were persons who seldom attend
ed exhibitions. but were deeply inter
estcd in public welfare.
lIappily, the grounds for agitation
have been largely removed. The pro-
Queer of photop!ays has responded 10
the demand OF the public for pictures
more wholesome in subject Tho Ma,
tional Board of Review. the editors
OF motion pictures, and the public
voice have shared in the elimination
OF the types 10 which the public has
objected Misleading posters are no
longer being made by the chief pro-
ducrrs. The photoplay is coming 10
its own.
The best method of eliminating
whatever evils there are Is the con-
structfye one Of replacing evil with
good. The Better Film Movement
as it has been called, is constructive.
Its aim has been defined as the recur'
| ing of the exhibition Of more pleasing
and artistic pictures which shall not
offend the fundamental truths of life.
1t was started through the recognl-
ton by certain good women in differ
ent parts OF the United States that.
although young people were interested
in motion pictures. photoplays suitable
for adults were the only ones avail
able. In some cases there were QueS'
tionable photoplays. to the exhibitions
Of which young people could obtain
admission. So these women said.
"Why can't we have special exhibit
tions Of suitable films for the young
people?" They organized exhibitions,
cooperating with such exhibitors IN
their communities as had the wisdom
TO adopt their point Of view.
