1t is certainly very creditable to
upper Clear Greek for the manner
in which they have met their
quota in the Third Liberty Loan
drive. From tie number of prom
ised subscriptions it is a safe
prediction that Georgetown will
exceed her quota by at least twenty
Ave percent, while Silver Plume
and Empire can rest easy as they
have nobly done their duty towards
swatting the Kaiser.
The supper given by the ladies
Friday night for the benefit of the
Sammies from this county was a
financial success, the net sum rea
lized being $53. The money was
turned over to Father Boyle
for distribution. but as there are
nearly seventy young men from
this county now in the service or
in active preparation for service,
the money has been deposited in
the bank as a nucleus for other
entertainment of similar nature
thruout the county, when the
amount may be sufficiently aug
mented to make its distribution
among our boys worth while. The
object is IA laudible one, and it is
hoped that other localities will soon
become active and add to the
fund. It's not the amount that
brings Joy to the boys, but the
thought that they are not forgotten
at home, and that their efforts are
being appreciated.

Active Summer Ahead
for Georgetown Mines

recent shipment of ten tons from

netted them $50 per ton. Develop
ment retards production some

shipments can confidently be look
ed for in the near future.
Major Clark is hitting the high
places these days, the cause being
the noticeable improvement in the
Plugger Union OH Democrat noun
tain, where streak of good ore
is now exposed. Assay tests show
it to be of the usual good grade
characteristic of the district where
in the early days $500 ore was the
average and $500 to $1,000 per ton
not unusual.
President Breitenbach of the
Georgetown tunnel has come from
Chicago to superintend the in
stallation of the company's new
machinery at the tunnel. When
completed, development will be

to place another large producer on
the list. A Collins boring machine
may be among the added improve
ments.
Drifting west from the upraise
on the Scepter, three feet of ore
averaging $40 per ton in the various
metals, has just been developed.
The drift is now in nearly 100
feet, and the continuity of the

usual width is maintained. Con-
siderable smelling ore is secured,
while a profitable mill grade cah

What Is a "Free PORT?
This Explains II AL

The word "free" in the phrase
"a free port" or "a free zone"
concerns only freedom from Gus
tom duties or custom house inter-
ference, and has no reference to
port charges.
A free port, or a free zone in
a port, has some of the features
of a bonded warehouse. Goods
coming in from foreign countries
enter the free port without the
detail Of custom inspection.
Goods exported after importa-
tion go out without payment of
duty and without the complicated
system of checking involved in
custom house accounts and ap-
praisals.
In a free zone goods may be
re-exported in the original pack
ages in which they were i'm
ported, may be repacked, may be
mixed or blended with foreign or
domestic goods and, in the case of
the free portion of the port of
Hamburg, may be manufactured.
All these acts take place without
check or delay by custom officials.
All goods going out of the free
zone into the interior of the coun-
try are subject 20 custom regula-
tions and pay duties as though
originating in foreign countries.
