MINING COMPANIES an
TO INSURE MEN

Tonopah, Jan. 27.-Three of the
leading mining companies have Joined
In a new movement having for its
object the insuring of men employed
after they have been with their COM
panies continuously for sixty days.
The insurance begins at $500 and ex-
tends to $500 which is the maxi
mum amount available.
The policies are a gift from the en-
ployers to the employees and do not
interfere In anyway with the risks
carried by the State Industrial Blu
eau which also applies in the event
Of death or injury through accident.
The new insurance is a straight life
policy payable to the widow or de-
pendants. The object of the expert
ment is to stabilize the length of time
many OF the men remain in the SER
vice Of the company and to prevent
drifting from one mine to another.
The new plan becomes effective on
the first of February.

A NEW ANEsTHETIc

Announcement is made from the
laboratories of one of the country's
largest chemical companies in New
Jersey of the development Of a new
anesthetic which eliminates pain with
out loss of consciousness and whose
use is followed by NO undesirable Of
fects. p
The discovery is described as q new
type Of ether, highly refined and
modified by the addition of certain
gases which give desirable character
istics."
The announcement says tests which
have been conducted at various hos
pitfalls and clinics have demonstrated
that the new ether Is thoroughlyprac-
tical.
Its ability to produce insensibility
to pain without loss Of consciousness,
1t is pointed out, opens up an entire
ly new field of usefulness, including
the large class of operations which
are now performed without any at
tempt whatever to eliminate pain.
The most common Of these are in
dentistry, where the new ether will
render painless jaw operations or
nerve treatment, REMOVAL of rootsand
drilling and filing. 1t is also said to
promise total relief in such trying
practices as sewing up wounds, open
ing and treating of Assesses and
changing Of packings and dressings.
The repute of the company which
publishes the announcement Is such
that there can be no question Of the
qualities attributed to the new anes-
thetic, and for this reason it is safe to
say that another great boon to suffer-
ing humanity has been made avail
able.

Prohibition Here To Stay

The United States, by its Consti-
tuition. has been, since January 16,
under absolute prohibition of the
liquor trade. 1t will remain so, un-
less the appeals to the Supreme
Court against the Eighteenth Amend
ment have more success than is gen
orally expected. No vote Of Con-
gress. even IL unanimous, can end
prohibition. Thirty-six States put II
into the Constitution, and Is States
can keep it there even against the
wishes Of IS. Thus prohibition seems
certain for many years to come; for
there is no present probability that
there win ever be fewer than thir-
teen States ~favoring 1t.

Imports Break Price Of Butter
Though we are told that Europe
is starving" some parts of 1t are able
to send welcome supplies to this
country. The price Of butter fell
four or five cents a pound in Eastern
cities last week. because seventy-two
tons had been brought here from
Denmark. While the amount Is not
large the discovery that Danish but
ter could be sent here at q profit
frightened the spectators who are
holding 100000 pounds in cold
storage here. The importation Is
helped by the low rate Of exchange;
for the Danes can swap their Ameri-
can butter-money for 20 per cent.
