MINING IS SECOND BEST
 INDUSTRY

Political conditions tell Us that mining neNt to agricuiture is the greatest industry in tr:.
 rns is from the viewpoint that if ""i soil were untitled famine would stalk the land
 From a monetary standpoint however tn" min ing industry is the greatest in the world. The truth of this assertion becomes apparent when il Is visualized that mining gives the standard Of value by which the price of everything produce" by the brain and brawn of man is measured
 Abandon mining and the value of every com modity would be insignificant. humanity would sink back to the barter and exchange age, and financial paralysis would lock in its viceke grasp the indus tries of mankind. It would be the greatest cal amity that ever befelI the human and in less than century civilization would revert to harbar- ism, vixen primitive knew nothing about cop per gold silver, iron, lead, steel zinc and the min era resources of Mother Earth
 Those who decry mining are ignorant of his tory. or have ulteror purposes to serve. If they knew anything about metals they must know that all business; that all industry and that all human progress depends tn. mines.
 The wealth from the mines from the dawn of time is the epic of human advancemen--of man s heroic march along the paths of progress
 Show people without mines. and I will show you a people deep in the mre of poverty; and thousand behind the procession of civilization
 It the mines that made the greatness of the past: that made the ancient civilizations: that made Egypt great; that made Greece great; that made Rome great; and in modern times the mines have made Spain and England. and the United States rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
 Mining is essential to the progress of civza- than all other agencies combined. Mining has made poor millionaires than all other things put together.
 The Government statistics show there has been less money lost in mining than in any ctre~ business in country. These records prove that during the past fifty failures in mining have been less than 35 per against more than 67 per cent of failures in other industries
 More real profit has been made by investors in mining securities during the past century than in any other industry.
 Strike down the miner: shackle mining; throt- tie the mining Industry and civilization will sink back to poverty and stagnation
 The greatest benefactor of the human race has been the prospector. The most benihcent men of all time are the far seeing whose brain and brawn develop the earth's natural resources-the

FISHWAY FORMED BELOW CON-
OWINGO DAM

A bill passed at the recent session
of the Legislature provided for nat
ural fish reserve in the section of
water below Conowingo dam, as her.
ring, shad and other migratory fish
which usually go up the river to
spawn, will be stopped by the dam,
and here the State proposes to take
advantage of a natural fish reserve,
and the law recently passed provides
proper protection for the fish.
The dam will be ready for opera
tion sometime in 1928, the work be-
ing further progressed than was first
anticipated. The Susquehanna river
is at many times turbulent stream
with rapid rise and fall, and many
fears were expressed by local river
men that rapid rise in the river
might sweep away part of the con-
structien, but such has not been the
case. One food during the past
winter washed out a quantity of
lumber but this did not in any way
delay construction. The highway
bridge over the crest of the dam will
be open this Fall for travel as Will
also the relocation of the Columbia
and Port Deposit railroad.

INJURED in AUTO ACCIDENT

An auto accident occurred at an
early hour Sunday morning, when a
new sedan crashed into telephone
pole in front of the residence of w.
L. Brock about half a mile east of
town, on the State road. The ma
chine was occupied by four young
men, all of whom are alleged to have
been we'll "lickered up"
From the bottled evidence found
in the car there was no dubt about
the accident being the climax of a
drunken jamboree.
The machine is the property of a
man named Lewis, of near Jenners-
vile, Pa, whose son was one of the
party, and alleges he picked up four
strangers after the movies at Oxford,
and took them for a joy ride Satur-
day night.
After the crash Sunday morning
three of the men were taken to
Union Hospital, Elkton, two of them
leaving the hospital the next day, as
their injuries were but slight. The
third man proved to be George Phil
ips, formerly of this section, who
suffered broken leg and other in
juries.
The car was badly damaged.
