Governor Boyle Urges
Real N0iSc|GSS Fourth

To help conserve the supply of gun
powder and other explosives. Gov
crnor Boyle has, by proclamation,
urged the need of refraining from
tile use of firecrackers and the dis
play of fireworks on July 4th This
action is in line with that taken by
many other states and will undoubt-
edly result in the saving of thou
sands of dollors' worth of war ma
terial which would otherwise be de-
strOyed on Independence Day.
The proclamationof the governor
Is as follows:
Whereas, On July Fourth next
the American people will celebrate
the 141st anniversary of American
independence, under circumstances
different from those which have at
tended any similar observance from
the beginning.
In the present war, which has
been thrust upon the United States,
the very principle of independence
is again and even more vitally threat
ened.
The entire power and all the re-
rources of the nation in fortitude
are called upon to resist the inva-
sion of rights common to mankind

on a large scale, and it is expected
to have the property producing 900
tons daily. The patented lcaim ad-
joins the Prince Consolidated and is
said to contain some of the large bed
ed deposits chacteristic of the
Prince. One estimate is 100000
tons of the iron fluXing ores in the
upper bed. This resembles the Prince
ere and contains to A ounces silver
and to per cent lead, besides an
excess Of iron and manganese The
company has an option on three ad-
joining mining claims or the Prince

THE expectation is to make pro-
fits of about $3.50 a ton under recent
average metal prices, The Virginia

beds which will be developed after
