THE PILGRIM DISTRICT.
What Is Going on Near Dempsey &
 O'Dea's Bonanza

Under-Sherim Walter Brown is cred ited with discovering the first gold on adjoining ground at the Dempsey & O'Dea mines. When locations were being made George Hanson came out from Kingman and located for himself and MT. Drown what he considered the first north extension of the Mayfiower although John w. Garritt has also To- cated two claims on a line with the same mine. the formers lying outside the latter'S ground a little farther west Hanson is an old prospector and loca- ted on the theory that the ledge might turn at this point and his theory seems to have been correct.
 In doing the work Hanson cut the ledge which has the same identical ore as the Pilgrim property. MT. Brown was out to visit the prospect Thursday y and sampled the ledge. The ore horn- free gold and will doubtless develop into bonanza.
 Work on the Dempsey X O'Dea mines is progressing favorably and the three shafts are going down in ore that is holding its own for richness. Three members of the company having the mines bonded, visited Pilgrim this weeh and express their entire satisfaction al the way development is showing up ths values.

AS TO HATS.

Last summer the girls who walked or roGe abroad did so bareheaded, and it was the height of fashion to have a sun Drowned complexion and hair toss ed by the breeZes. At the same time, young men kept their hats on their heads as if they feared to take them off.
 This summer the girls not only wear their hats, but cover them with three or four Veils, while the boys doff theirs and it is quite the thing for them to drive their automobiles bareheaded.
 If this state of things continues long enough. the girls will begin to lose their hair and the boys will stop losing theirs for there is nothing like going bare headed to encourage the growth of hair; but you never can expect a fash ion to last long enough to have any such effect.-Philadelph Inquirer.

first he ever made when he first went
into the dental business. He told me
to keep it until 1 got hard up and

Papa has been dead two years l

but papa once told me all United
States money could be exchanged at

the treasury about four years ago.with

was a 33i degree Mason.
I'VE had lots of money then, but
papa was sick two years, and Artie was
sick two years, and it took nearly all

A PSALM OF ADVERTISING

A PSALM OF ADVERTISING.
Tell me not in sneering manner
Advertising does not pay,
Rich are they who fling their banner
Poldest 20 the world today.
Advertising done in earnest,
Done with wisdom, heart and soul,
With determination sternest,
Always wins the wished-for goal.
Lives Of many men remind us
We TO great success can climb
If the reading public find us
Advertising all the time.
Advertising with persistent
Energy to spread our fame,
Ever honest and consistent
In performing what We claim.
In the worlds commercial battle,
In the rivalry for trade,
We must hustle, shout aud rattle
Ere impression can be made.
Not njoyment-rather sorrow
Is the certain end OF those
Who are apt to LET tomorrow,
Like today, unheeded close.
Careless of their advertising,
Which, If penned in common-sense,
Is the method enterprising
That insures full recompense.
