SHEA SHAFT AT
 800-FOOT LEVEL

Reports received yesterday from Superintendent Oscar Engelder of the Shea mine were of nature to encourage the directors in their abid- ing faith that the property is des- tined to become a producer ill real earnest before many more weeks have passed.
 The shaft is now down almost 800 feet and is passing through a zone of much altered quartz with heavy tale gouge streak on the foot wall side. Permanent water level has not yet been reached and Superintendent Engelder believes that from all the present indications, there will be a great enrichment of the vein matter when the shaft gets to that point.
 Considerable water was made at about the 700-foot level, but this was evidently from pocket or pockets as it drained off in a few days and the bottom of the shaft is now dry and has been SO far for the last 50 feet. There are numerous indica- tions, however, that permanent water level is not many feet deeper.
 After having strengthened up con siderably between the tunnel level and the zoo, the vein has resumed practically the original dip of ap- proximately 50 degrees.

SNASHES MAIL MORRIS WHITE
Man Breaks Open Four Post Of flee Boxes in West Prescott, and Then Gives Himself Up to Country Authorities
(From Fridays Daily) orris White is in Jail.


 Morris went out early yesterday morning, and with his little hammer smashed four United States mail boxes in West Prescott. Then at about o'clock he walked into the sheriff's office and told Deputy Charley Reibeling the tale of his dark misdeeds.
 Charley locked him up.
 Morris did not say whether he smashed the mail boxes ill the hope that he might find a letter with money in it, or merely to see whether his hammer was in good working order. Neither did he put out any information as to whether he had given himself up because of striken conscience, or because he knew that the sheriff's office provides a door way to good room and board
 He volunteered information as to none of these things, merely stating he had smashed some of Uncle Sam's property, and that here he was. Four mail boxes were smashed, one at the West Prescott Methodist church corner, another by the O. K. store, and a third at the corner of Gurley and Mccormick streets. The fourth was located in another part of West Prescott.
 Morris will be turned over to the federal authorities.

HAIL WOMEN'S VICTORY

HAIL wOMEN's VICTORY
BIZ The Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The worlds Meth,
odist conference to-day drew UP an ad
dress for circulation in Methodist
churches throughout the world calling
for aggressive militant Christianity
The address read:
I'VE heed more nerve and more audac
ity. We summon you to aggressive
militant Christianity. We welcome thu
emancipation of women and hail then
joyful. as fellow workers.
1--WE have heard the call for a unior
of churches. Our first duty is to hea
our own divisions and to call our Meth
odist family to greater unity than we
now enjoy"
Victor Murray Of the Primitive Meth
odist Church declared that the con-
spiracy OF silence regarding sex has
created untold suffering"
MEN and women were created fol
companionship," he declared, 'and It il
useless trying to hide from them the
deepest things of life. If they do not
learn from the Church the things OF
most concern to their lives they will
pick them up from the gutter"
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Methodist
Episcopal Church South, reviewed the
prohibition struggle in the United States
and analysed its results, saying THE
inescapable fact remains that the liquor
traffic has forever been branded as an
outlaw by the Government Of the United
States"
Bishop Cannon declared that IL an
other war should come demanding that
sons come from prohibition homes IN
America to fight in England, France or
nf ha i'm
portant factors would be whether tho
American and English or French gov
ernments would cooperate to offer the
same protection to the American youth
from drink as he received under the
American flag
Moral standards OF the present day,
changing from the simple code of our
forefathers, are "excrescences growing
out of the war;" declared the Rev DIR,
Elbert Robb Earring. editor OF the North
Westorn Christinn Advocate.
Dr. Earring referred to the pleasantly
which passed between a Chicago and a
New York daily paper many years ago
when Chicago was developing the eky-
scraping habit. Chicago twitted New
York on the fact and THE NEW YORK
HERALD replied there was no city on
the Western Hemisphere that needed Its
sky scraped worse than Chicago Since
then scores of cities have gone into the
sky-scraping business" continued the
speaker In the spiritual meaning Of
that term we must all scrape the sky
to get a correct idea of moral standards.
"Our conception of moral standards Is
changing. We are to-day in the trough
or wave. The war upset everything,
toppled our moral as we'll as our intel
lectual and physical standards.
This is but passing wave. Even now
we are emerging therefrom. Our con-
ception of the moral standards Is lifting.
One OF the most hopeful phases of this
development of a moral ideal Is the ap-
plication of the principles OF Christianity
to the great world of industry about US
There is no question but that we have a
larger outlook in this field than ever
before"

HOME WINE MAKERS
RUSH FOR PERMITS
Washington Office Swamped
by Letters From All Parts

Special Despatch 10 THE New York HEsALD.
New York Herald Bureau,

Special Despatch 10 THE New York HEaALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Sept. 10.
Home brewing and wine making are
increasing. This Is revealed to-day by
the letters that swamped the office OF
the prohibition unit of the Treasury.
From all parts of the country home dis
tillers are asking for permits to make
200 gallons of wines from fruit juices
for personal use.
Although a Treasury decision almost
a year old authorized prohibition direc-
tors to issue such permits. apparently
the tidings have just begun to reach the
homes of thousands In different parts
of the country. most OF them in the rural
sections. Recent reports that the Treas
ury Department had amended that rul-
ing were denied to-day emphatically by
officials. They asserted there will not
be any attempt to restrict the making
Of beverages within the home If the
drinks so made are not sold or manu-
factured for sale.
Officials explained that the ruling was
primarily Intended for large fruit grow
ers or farmers having orchards or vine
yards, and to enable them to convert
without danger of interference from dry
agents.
An even larger quantity than 200 gal
Ions of beverages may be made from
fruit juices within the home for personal
consumption of the owners family or
guests II he will file notice of his in
tention and give a nominal bond.
1--WE will apply the rule Of common
sense" said a high revenue official.
There will be no intrusion OF private
homes looking for trouble unless that
mans home is being used as a place for
the manufacture OF alcoholic beverages
for sale. When 1t Is found that a home
is being used for commercial uses in
liquor manufacture then it is probable
that We have grounds to act. But the
policy will be to go slowly in the matter
OF entering private homes, in any event.
and we shall proceed only when the evil
dence seems clear that the law is being
openly violated in carrying on liquor
traffic.
