POPULAR RECREATION MOVEMENT Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. .—The People’s Recreation Company has to- day applied to Governor Tener for a charter to establish a ¢ nhaln of dance halls, moving picture and amuse- ment places throughout the city.

The halls will be run on a business basis and admission fees similar to those paid in other dance halls will be charged, for it is not the intention of the organization to start out as reformers or philanthropists.

FIRING MINES IN PENSACOLA HARBOR Pensacola, Feb. 9.—The firing of mines in the channel here by the coast artillery troops stationed at Fort Pickens begun this morning, the operations being in Licutenant Jas. Kirk, of Fort Pick- ens. The government mine plant- ing vessel, General Scoffield, will leave Tuesday for Tampa and other points along the coast to do similar duty. For the past several weeks mires have been placed in the chan- nel to afford practice for the local soldiers. Vessels are warned to keep out of the channel white this work i8 in progress. Boats are stationed on each side of the channer to caution all craft against passing over the point where the mines are being fired. The mine firing practice will continue for several days. . FORTFICATIONS BILL PASSED THE SENATE (By Associated Press) ate today passed the annual fartifi- cations bill carrying $6,500,000. It materially increased the House ap- propriations for artiNery ammuni- tion. e ——— capacity of 100,000 tons of finished rock and with the use of the latest improved washers the rock will be clean and the analysis will show a better percentage than it would if such machinery was not employed. The land is level for miles around and the overburden does not exceed ten feet in any place, except one, and that may possibly reach fifteen feet though the deposit In this im- mediate territory is of the highest grade. In conversation with the officials they stated that they did not think there would be any necessity of using explosives at all on this tract, an expense that has to bge met in many of the mining tracts where boulders and hard rocks are found that the overburden cannot be re- moved without the employment of heavy explosives. The phosphate in- dustry in this section is only in its infancy, so say some of the experts who have been engaged in this line of business for a score of years, and with the assembling of a vast amount of capital of other States into South Florida means a great deal te the industrial and financial world.
