CAPITAL FOR C|NNABAR
MEANS PRODUCTION Of
VALUABLE BY PRODUCTS

Nevada promises to become the
leading producer Of quicksilver on
the Pacific coast judging from pre-
paations that are being made at
Nina and vicinity for developing Gin
1abar deposits that have been hand
ic3Dppd by war activities which di-
ypHad capital and labor to other
fields At the present writing cap
ital is canvassing southern Nevada
inspired by the hope that certain
promising locations may be had
The parties making the canvass rep
resent strong companies who see in
the waning production of older fields
the probability that the supply Of
quicksilver will fall short of ordi-
nary commercial requirements
The Nina Mercury company ranks
as one Of the strongest and closets
corporations occupying the cinnabar
district Of Mineral county. The
holdings of this company comprise
one claim and two fractions which
has been prospected to an extent
that satisfies the stockholders that
they have an enormous formation
capable of fielding high returns in
quick" at small cost The company
proposes to develop through a tun-
mel which will be driven a distance
Of 375 feet to tap the orebody
opened in an incline shaft, reaching
a depth Of 1856 feet This will en-
able the production to be carried
on in most economical fashion as
the ore can be mined and delivered
to the furnace which will be oper-
ated on an oil basis owing to the
growing scarcity of wood which has
reached a prohibitory cost of SO a
cord Bids for driving this funnel
will he called for shortly and as
soon as the bore is completed the
company will begin stopping and
sinking from a body of ore estimat'
ed between 10 to Is feet wide from
which leasers took between two and
three TASKS per ton At the cur.
rent market this means an income
Of $40 to 1925 for each ton of ore
treated The furnace will have a
capacity Of 30 tons so the prospec
tive earnings may be easily esti
mated
The Nina Mercury company, how
ever is not going to be content
with extracting quicksilver from It's
einnabar ores, for a comprehensive
plan has been outlined by which
'erm.Ilion and sulphuric acid will b
saved as by.products. This marki

Tents and House Shortage.

Los Angeles is in the grip of a hous-
ing shortage so acute as to compel
a requisition upon the Secretary of
War for 5000 Army tents to be used
as temporary dwellings That city is
peculiarly fortunate in its location. 1t
can use tents for dwellings, wherea.
many of the other cities that are SINH
larIy affected by lack Of housing could
not make shift with such accommoda.
lions. Its climate is equable and mild
and a town OF tents is quite possible
as a temporary measure. Tent houses
in Minneapolis or Duluth, Buffalo or
Cleveland, or even in New York, would
be decidedly uncomfortable in winter
lime. Still there are dwellers in those
titles and others who would probably
~ glad Of such accommodations. even
with all the risk Of drafts and chills.
y tent really can be made fairly
Weather tight, and d person need not
actualiy freeze in such quarters, what
ever the temperature in this country.
There are houses and apartments in
which the heating facilities are so un-
rertain that perhaps a tent would Of.
fer chance for an even break on com.
fort.
But, after all, this requisition from
Los Angeles for tents is very serious

The Problem of Enforcement.

While some comfort may be taken.
by those who do not believe in the
prohibition amendment and the en-
forccmcnt act, from the Supreme
COURTS decision just rendered that
liquors lawfully stored in commercial
warehouses may under the act he
transported back to the homes of the
owners. this ruling does not affect the
situation to u very great degree. The
lower courts have ruled in sustaining
the acts OF the enforcement officers of
the Treasury Department that such
owner. The highest court declares
that they can. But while il is esti-
mated that 10, 900. 900 gallons of liquor
may be affected by the decision and
small percentage of that store of in
toNicants will slip into the traffic by H.
licit means.
This whole question of prohibition
enforcement is matter chiefly of sup
ply. There is at this time Il def
IJtely limited amount of liquor in eX
is1ence in this country. Some of il
is privately owned in domestic stora &c
or in warehouses and subject to the
ruling just rendered. Other quaint
ties are in bond, subject to WITH
drawa1 on permits supposedly strictly
guarded to prevent sale. No more
can be made under the law The only
way, therefore. to increase this sup
ply or to replace the consumption that
is plainly III progress is to manufac-
t1re illicitly or to import. Both manu-
facture and importation are prohibited,
and are subject to heavy penalties.
The real test of enforcement there
fore. lies in the prevention of manu-
factuTe and importation. The "visi-
bic supply" recognized by the law is
being depleted. The question of CHI
forcement, therefore. turns upon
whether the additions to this supply
by illicit manufacture and importu.
ton equal the consumption. If they
do not the liquor traffic is surely, #
slowly. diminishing and will eventual
ly be reduced to a negligible mini
mum.

The trouble may have been with the
issues. Railroad transportation is not
inspiring. Neither is the tariff. Both
issues are arithmetical rather than
rhetorical. The merchant marine, for
stumping purposes, needs to be studied;
and stumpers. as a rule, are land
lubbers. with little taste for sea study.
AS for the league Of nations-the
paramount issue-the voters had been
overfed before the campaign opened.
Orators, both in and out of Congress,
had exhausted themselves. They had
nothing new to say. Much Of what

MARYLAND and Virginia.
Mr.. McAdoo on the Situation.

In an interview former Secretary
McAdoo says:
The democratic party has suffered
a severe but not disastrous defeat
1t is far from dead, it is not even
seriously wounded. Throughout our
history overwh Ginning political re-
verses have been followed by cXtraor-
binary political recoveries.
What we must do now is to build
mp and strengthen the party organlZa-
tion, not in the interest of any indi-
Viduai or group or faction. but for
the cause of democracy ITSELF
Two extraordinary political recov-
cries" are easily cited. The defeat of
the democracy under the leadership of
Horace Greeley in 1872 was over
whelming. Mr.. Greeley himself sank
into his grave as a result, while the
party looked like a derelict. But four
years later the democracy. under the
leadership of Samuel j. Tilden, polled
Il majority Of the popular vote. and
came within one electoral vote of seat
ing Mr.. Tilden in the presidency.
Mr.. Cleveland's defeat in 1888 had
the appearance of finishing him as a
dilu VI SSHuAll5 liS
party into the wilderness for long
stay. Four years later. however. it
came back triumphantly. and under
his leadership. The recovering was
not only quick but complete.
Mr.. McAdoo, of course, had no in
dividual in mind in saying that the
party must be built UP and strength
cned, mot in the interest OF any in
dividual or group or faction, but for
the cause of democracy itself" 1t is
true. however, that many democrats
of prominence ascribe last weeks de-
feat in part to the fact that their
party had come to be regarded as
one-man party. and that the election
of Gov. Cox would, simply under an
other name, continue that mans stout
hold on the organization. To put an
end to wisconsin was a powerful con-
sideration at the polls.
