affairs of the Anaconda company:

Is months, paid SIG. 500. 600 for 500, 600
shares of Anaconda Copper Mining

Their Na're as Advertising Mediums Com
pared with the Big Dailies.
The value Of the country newspaper
as ali advertising medium is proportion
ately much greater than that Of the
metropolitan newspapers, writes a cor
respondent Of Printers Ink. The coun-
try paper exercises Ii greater influence
over its readers than does the city daily
over its perusers. This is a fact that
needs close consideration when relative
circu]ations arc being taken into &C
count. The analysis of the subject is
conducted in this way:
A 1000 country circulation costs,
we Will say, one-tenth as mucn as a
30, 900 city circulation. On a common
sense reasoning, which is the cheaper
advertising? In the country people have
little to do in the way Of mental recrea-
ton except reading. The local paper is
their guide, philosopher and friend. 1t
chronicles the news of the county and
neighborhood. 1t records events that are
interesting only to the community for
which it is published. 1t prints local
social gossip in which every individual
member Of that community is almost
personally interested.
For that reason it is read word for
word and line for line-not an item is
overlooked-even the ads. are sure of
regular perusal. I believe that the per
centage Of country papers not thorough
" read is enthusiastically small. Thus
the advertiser may be said to effectually
cover the district, and may feel reason
ably sure that everybody who reads the
paper has read his ad.
It is a totally different thing in the
city. There is little time for newspaper
reading. and much of it is done on the
cars on the way to and from business.
The limited time makes it necessary to
absorb all the news between home and
Office, or vice versa. City readers rapid
ly skim the headlines, the news cap
tons, hastily read any article that par.
ticularly interests them, consult the
market reports and throw the paper
aside.
The percentage Of 20, 600 city readers
who have time to read the ads. in thei,
newspapers is not large. It is not the
fault Of the ads, the mediums or the
men-they simply haven't time-that is
all. 1t is essential that they should read
the news, it is not necessary that they
should read the ads. So, lack of time
on the part Of the city reader hurts the
advertiser to a certain extent. Lack OF
something better to do on the part OF
the country reader benefits those who
advertise in country papers.
From this standpoint 1 firmly believe
that, to the general as we'll as local ad-
vartiser. country papers are worth. in

1T is A WONDER.
The Maynower Group is Proving a Verti-
bile Bonanza.

1t is estimated that w. >. Clark has
already shipped 100000 worth of gold
ore from the Mayhower mine since he
purchased it a month ago for $50. 900.
and reliable mining experts estimate
that there is at least $3.50. 600 worth Of
I in sight at the present time. In
fact every days work: although de-
creasing the amount Of ore, serves to
expose the great vein or pocket which
as yet shows no sign Of diminishing in
quality Or quantity, says the Inter-
Mountain.
The former owners Of the property
realize now that they made a big mis-
take in letting it 60. They regret, too,
that they did not accept D. g. Brick
er's offer. Mr.. Bricker agreed to take
a bond on the Mayfiower for $3.50. 600,
make Il large cash payment to secure
it and then strip the vein or pocket to
ascertain its extent.
Mr.. Clark's proposition was $50. 900
in cash. $50. 900 in 80 days and 500. 600
in 60 days. There was then $50. 900
worth of ore in sight which could be
easily mined inside OF 80 days, so that
Mr.. Clark was absolutely taking no
chances whatever. If the pocket
pinched out before the expiration of
30 days he could have cancelled the
agreement and if there were any doubts
about the mine not holding out he could
quit even at any time. AS it is he will
have taken out enough ore to pay the
purchase price long before the last pay
ment becomes due.
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary the Maytiower strike is the
only one of importance in the district.
1t was believed that long ere this the
Maytiower lead would be struck in the
Clear Grit. an adjoining property. but
there are no signs OF ore YET. The

Best to he on the safe Side in Casting Your
Vote This Year.
LAYERS do not agree as a unit with
Attorney General Haskell in his def
milton of the law under which the vo-
tiers OF the state will cast their ballots
at the coming election. Efforts have
been made by some OF them to induce
the attorney general torcvise his opin-
ion before the instructions he is pre-
pairing for the officers of election
throughout the state are ready for dis
trlbulion. The Importance OF the
opinion OF the attorney general does
not come from the fact thath he has any
power to determine anything. for he
has not, and the opinion he gives and
under which the officers OF election are
likely TO act because it will be the only
declaration OF the law they have before
them. may be knocked intoa cooked
hat at the first opportunity the su-
preme court of the state has at it. But

and they are likely in nine cases ont of

extremity seldom resorted to. and hence
the value of having the election with
out going behind the returns is appre-
clated by every mar who seeks election
to any Office, says the Independent.
Attorney General Haskell's opinion
in the most part conceded with the
views of the other lawyers, the impor-
tant provision on which they did not
agree being the instructions as to the
marking of a ballot by the voter who
wanted to a mixed ticket. He
said that the voter might vote the
straight ticket with the exception"
of the candidate he wished to select
from some other ticket by marking a
cross at the head OF the first ticket and
a cross after the name of the man he
desired to favor out of the other ticket.
The effect of such action. it is be-
lieved, would be confusing to the high
est degree it the voter should attempt
to vote for a county commissioner or a
judge or a member OF the legislature on
another ticket, for the law prohibits
the voter to erase anything from the
ballot, and if he voted by placing a
cross after the name Of the candidate
on the other ticket there would be 10
way to determine whose name he de-
sired to omit from the regular list.
The safest way Of all, said a lawyer
yesterday, sis going to be to vote by
placing after the name OF every
candidate you intend to vote for unless
it happens that you are going to vote
the ticket straight. That is the sure
way to obviate trouble and have the
ballot counted, for if it happens that it
is decided tina. the method proposed by
the attorney general is not the true
way, then every ballot > marked will
be invalid, not only as to the candidate
Immediately effected, but every one for
whom the voter intended to vete."

male acquaintance and pick out the
few who have no ailments and carry no
bottles, powders or prescriptions. They
will be very few indeed, unless your list
includes but very young men.
It has been said that every woman

is willing to part with her secret only
on compulsion, but will try anything
