The average stranger who visits
Sunpter on other business than that
connected with the mineral industry,
comes with the idea that he is going
to be held up, have sundry blocks of
mining stock unloaded on him, regard

the words miner or mining is taken
for a signal to stand and deliver.
This was illustrated day or so ago
when a Miner representative ap.
preached a clerical looking stranger
whose presence and appearance were
suggestiv. of a "story."
After due introduction, In which
the stranger evidently caught only
the word "Miner,' he visibly paled,
