Some Important Gold Discoveries
In tho Northern Part Of

Condition Of the Copper and Lead Markets
-Good Results From the Little
Rockies Country.

From an advance statement OF yearly
operations Of the Granite Mountain Mining
company, il learned that the gross expendi-
lures of every kind, except dividends, from
ths date when operations were commenced,
October 8, 1880, have been S.. az, 1854. and
the total gross receipts have been eA,626,-
1855 during the same period, including
dividend No. 20, which was paid Oct. 10
last, the stockholders have received 8, 500,
600 in dividends, being 50 per cont Of the
capital stock. The receipts exceeded those
Of last year $40, 10000 and the disburss.
ments for the year exceeded those Of last
year BY $685., 45O.8s, while the balance in
bank on July 3lst. $780, was $128, 69O.48 legs
than year ago. On that same date, how
ever, the company had so4 bars Of bullion
en- route and unsold Of the estimated
market value OF $4S9,222 or $212, 1893
more than the estimated market value Of
bullion On route and unsold at the same
time tho year previous. CONCERNING tho
future Of the property, the president says
there is every reason to expect the perma-
nency of the ore bodies already developed,
and that many of the more promising
claims are yet to be developed. From
Superintendent Weir's report it 10 lsarned
that total of 6, 666.5 feet Of prospect and
emit levels, drifts, cross-cuts, shafts and
raises, the total depth Of the Ruby shaft on
July 81 being 1,18O.3 feet, having been sunk
1888 feet during the year. The following

Mira. Abbott at Encore HalI-The Swed.
ish Quartetts This Evening.
Encore hall was filed with the best peo-
pie of the city last evening to witness the
exhibition Of Mrs. Abbott. the Georgia
strong woman. And all will testify that il
was indeed marvellous entertainment.
They saw the effects of mysterious and
unknown force exhibited in manner that
left no doubt as to its existence. The little
ninety-eight pound woman moved strong
men about like toys, lifted four of them at
once from the floor and successfully detied
the four to lift her. Then again, what was
still more wonderful she transmitted her
power to boy 80 that he could not be
lifted. These are few of the more sur
prisinR features of the exhibition There
were no evidences Of ''fake.' Among The
citizens Of the committee who tried her
strength were e1-Governor Hauser, Col.
G., <. Cole, Hon. w. A. Chessman,
~. Edwards. h. w. s. Folk.
Louis DeIestry and others Without the
slightest apparent effort she pushed the
governor to his seat. Mr.: Clark was evil
IDENTITY inclined to be skeptioal. To con-
vince him be was pushed from one side Of
the stage to the other and over on the
piano. Then five Of them sat down in a
chair. Another gentleman put his hands
on the rounds with an egg beneath. Mrs.
Abbott laid her hands over his and then the
chair With its heavy load came up in the
air. The same gentlemen tried to push her
with billiard cue but met with no better
success. Altogether il was an exhibition
vel! worth attending. Mrs. Abbott will
again appear at Encore Hall on Friday and
Saturday evenings and at a Saturday matt
nee.
Tho Swedish Quartette and Miss Baraeu.
This evening the second entertainment in
the excellent course Of the Y. N. g. A, will
be given at Encore hall. The attraction ia
the famous Swedish Male quartette and
Miss Barden, the well-known elocutionist.
The announcement should be sufficient to
attract large audience. The quartette
has met with great sue less in all sections
Of the country. The voices are among the
best IN the land. The singers will appear
this evening in their native costumes. Miss
Barden. the elocuti0nist, will I'LL part Of

As to Value Received.

The idea used to be prevalent among
% certain class of business men that
spending money for advertising
amounted, in effect, to throwing it
away. There is little question that
there is more or less ground for this
belief in isolated cases, where the adj
vertiser does not take the proper means
for securing solid returns for his an
nouncements. The results secured in
advertising depend very largely upon
the sagacity and enterprise displayed
by the merchant in selecting his me-
dunn and preparing his announce
ments. \ long and uninteresting
"ad," devoid of leading features or at
tractivc arrangement, cannot be ex-
pected to produce satisfactory results.
An advertisement appearing in a paper
in the month of May, calling atten-
ton, with much detail, to q new stock
of winter goods, does not impress the
reader in a way calculated to bring re-
suits to the advertiser; or, if the re-
suits come, they are not apt to be OF
the kind desired.
Merchants should change their an
nouncements frequently, and each adj
vertisement should tell something in
a brief and pointed way. And, above
all things, it pays, in advertising, to
tell the simple, unvarnished truth.
Facts tell, and pay.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1890-06-25
4 Matter OF Memory.

AS rule, it is best for the advertiser
to conine each announcement to 4
few leading articles. The average
reader remembers one or two facts,
briefly and thoroughly impressed,
with greater ease than a larger num-
Der running through a somewhat ex-
tended announcement. In the case of
a merchant, the first thing to be done
is to attract the buyers to his store.
When the buyers come there, if the
merchant cannot sell them it is his
fault, and not the fault of the news
paper or of the advertisement. The
tendency of the time is toward brief,
pointed, ''meaty" matter, whether it
be of literary, newsy or business ma
ture. The object sought by every adj
vertiser is to induce people to read his
announcements. An attractive adj
vertisemcnt containing not too much
matter, and calling attention to a few
specialties or leaders, is, all things con-
sidered, aptto be read and remembered
by the largest number Of individuals.
Anglo-Saxon has come to be very
largely used in the preparation of
newspaper advertisements. Plain Eng
lish, plain type and plain truth pay in
advertising.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1890-06-25
Does Advertising Pay?

This is very important question to
business men, and one that only bust
ness men can answer. We have the
assurance from thousands of them who
largely advertise that it does pay, if ju-
diciously pursued, and many of them
have given their testimony in its IA
vor. If the reader will take up any of
the city papers from day to day for
wears, he will find the columns filled
with the announcements of leading
business houses. They do not come be-
fore the public at long intervals, but
regularly, daily, changing their adj
vertisements with the variation in their
stocks, qualities and prices of goods,
thus not only attracting attention to
what they have to sell, but arousing
the desire of buyers to examine what
is offered, thus making customers and
popularizing these places of business,
This class of men will tell you in this
day of competition that it would be
impossible to do business orsecure any
thing like an average trade If they did
not invite custom by giving in detail a
clear statement of what they have got
to sell
On the other hand, thousands of
men who have started in business with
fair capital, plenty Of push and a
knowledge of trade have gone to the
wall simply because they ibid their
lights under a bushel," in failing to
compete with their neighbors in hav-
ing the buying public know where
they were, what they were selling and
what inducements they had to offer.
A man may have the best stock of
goods in the market, but ifsse fails to
invite custom or make known the in
ducements he can offer he is sure to
drop behind in the race, while his
sharper neighbour is rcapinga rich har-
vest.-EXchamge.

Nuts for Advertisers to Crack.

The man who does not find advertis-
ing profitable generally finds business
Improbable.
A business may be likened to an
arch; if capital and labor represent
the pillars, then advertising is the key
stone, without which the structure
must crumble.
Was newspaper advertising success
with you last year2 If not, why not9
1t pays others. 1t ought to pay you,
and will if wisely done.-Ayers' News
paper Manual.
Let your advertisement in all cases
exactly correspond with what you real
ly propose to sell. Beprepared to show
the customer who inquiries the identi-
cal goods, and let price and terms al
ways tally with your announcements.
Half the battle in advertising is in
knowing what to say and how to say
it. Of all things don't try TO say too
much in one advertisement. Remem-
Der that ssBrevity is the soul of wit. "
If you've thing to sell, name it, with
the price, briefly. IF you want any

BANKRUPT PRINCES.
One Who Smoked IS Cigar and Lost
$4,000 in n Single Night.

one vino Smoked IS Cigars and Lost
S4oo,00o In n Single Night.
Bankruptcy appears to be becoming
fashionable among the great princes of
Germany Within two months Prince
Albert, of the sovereign house of Wal
deck; Prince Charles, of the reigning
family of Liechtenstein, and Prince
Trautmannsdorff have all three been
declared insolvent debtors and placed
"unter curatelle," and now Prince
Frederick ", of Salmi-Kyrburg, has
been subjected TO similar ignominy.
Forty-four years of age, and the pos
SCISSOR of numerous titles, including
that of a Rhinegrave and of a Spanish
Grandee of the first class, his debts
amount to about IS, co., 600.
During the course of the legal pro-
ceedings it was shown that until his
fathers death he had been forced to
content himself with paltry allow
ance of 81, 200 per annuln, which, al
though possibly sufficient for the wants
of an ordinary mortal, was far from
adequate for a high and mighty prince
who refuses to smoke anything but
Havana cigars at 50 apiece. Under
the circumstances it is not surprising
that It should have been tobacco
merchant who first instituted the steps
that finally landed his highness in the
bankruptcy court and resulted in his
being placed ''unter curatelle."
This ''unter curatelle" condition is
one that is exceedingly unpleasant. 1t
is equivalent to declaration of per-
petual minority, and the person on
whom it is imposed isnot only declared
incapable of managing his own affairs,
but is practically outlawed and de-
prived of the electoral franchise and
almost every other rigllE of citizenship.
No civil contract entered into by him
is valid His signature is of no account
in point of law, and from the legal
point of view he is nobody--as unsub-
stantial as the family ghost and rs ire
sponsible as Il babe unborn.
Prince Trautmannsdorif was the
president Of the Austrian Jockey club,
where he lost in single night $780,
900 Mt cards, With & view of retriev-
ing his fortunes he straightaway pur-
chased for u rise q large number of OPP
tons on wheat and other cereals,
which, however, greatly to his dismay,
took a downward instead of an up
ward course, rendering him thereby
liable for differences TO the tune of 49,,
900, 900.
Another we'll known parsonage who
is at present ''unter curatelle," and
whose name is we'll known in the United
States, is Baron Victor Erlanger, once q
magnate of European finance, but now
an exile residing on the shores of Lake
Geneva in Switzerland y suit was
brought against the trustees of his
bankruptcy, in the course of which the
whole circumstances of his ruin were
again made public.-Cor. New York
Tribune.

The peoplo You Want to Reach.


Every business man should write
and place his advertisements in way
calculated to reach and impress the
people with whom he desires to do
business. Money spent in advertising
in paper which does not circulate in
the homes of the people you desire to
trade with is practically thrown away.
The medium which goes into the
homes of the people who must buy
your goods is the one liz WHICH you
should place your announcements.
Don't scatter your fire or waste costly
ammunition unnecessarily. Decide
upon the people you want to reach,
and then reach them in the most d.
rect and economical way.

Lively Advertising.

1t is well to throw a little novelty
into advertising matter. An advertise
ment containing only hard facts, with.
out a particle of life or spice thrown in
toleaven the whole, is apt to weary the
reader and discourage him from fol-
lowing it through to the end. Make
your announcements lively, make
them brief, and make them timely.

Dom. Scare PconIe.

As rule an advertiser makes mis-
take when he attempts to call atten-
ton to his bargains by making some
blood curdling or more or less repul-
sive statements in large, black letters
at the head of his announcement. Peo-
pie soon tire of sensations which don't
"thrill.' They have way of drop
ping on" to such methods after one or
two trials, and the reaction is apt to
be expensive to the advertiser by Great
ing revulsion of feeling.
Be lively.
Be cheerful.
Be brief.
But don't scare people to death.
Introduce all the legitimate novelty
you can; keep things strictly up to
date; hammer away and stick to your
text. The results will come and keep
coming as long as you keep up this
method of announcement.
