ENFORCING DRY LAW
Pindhot Law Now in Eject in Penn.
All Licenses for Saloons Are Made
Effective.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 2S.-The
Pinchot prohibition enforcement law
was in force in Pennsylvania today.
The link that legally connected the
saloon with the state through the
license system was broken when Gov
ernor Pnchot, six hours after tho
house passed the bill affixed his sig
nature to the measure.
The new law repealed the Woner
enforcement law Which prohibited the
sale Of liquor in violation of the 18th
amendment but permitted the licens-
ing of saloons to sell beverages con-
tanning less than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol. The new Pinchot
law wipes out the, license system.
saloonkeepers' were in quandary
today as to the real effect of the new
law. Other legislation is contem-
plated by the state administration to
regulate the sale of liquor containing
a lawful amount of alcohol.

Concerning Rich Ore

quantity of the ore being relatively
small and uncertain there is little in
centive to apply close attention to de-
tails. To an engineer it is essential to
have a mass of uniform material large
enough to justify the devising Of eff
fective methods of exploitation; it is
not to be expected that manager will
take much thought to save 1Oc. per
ton when his ore fluctuates in value
from day to day by $40 per ton. That
is why the low grade mine is the best
school for developing skill in the con-
duct of mining operations. UndOubt-
eddy the charge of a mine that produces
ore giving a large margin of profit has
spoiled many an engineer as a super
intendent for mines working on a
slender margin. One is more likely to
learn something useful by going to
ton than to one where it averages S67
per ton. The richness of a bonanza
is too fortuitous to be the basis for
methods that are founded not only on
the doctrine of probabilities but on the
theory of things as they are. In any
event. if 1 were a mine manager 1
would ask nothing better than a stop
ing width-five feet-of 10 dwt gold
ore or 10 per cent lead ore, or per
cent copper ore, provided the quantity
assured represented at least a vigorous
production for five years.
