in the lake district near Bemidji,
upon which he was accompanied

ADVANTAGES OF

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose Of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, "If man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed." And our office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light i'll quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid write
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear TO you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you

will have. peace in the family.

Beard and Charles Holzman, S70,- 00O in cash (Sl0,000 having been previously paid) for the Clipper group of mines. Of the payment of S70.000 Mir Beard received one- half and Messrs. Woodson and Holzman each one-quarter. The Clipper group comprises twelve claims, situated about eight miles west of Globe, and are sufficiently developed to indicate their great value, important ore bodies being exposed in the several openings. The estimate of the value of the Clipper mines placed upon them by the purchasing company may be judged by the fact that the com- pany preferred to take up the bond and secure title by paying the full purchase price, rather than make another partial payment and secure an extension of the bond. It is also significant, in this connec- ton, that upon the advice of their attorney, the company, in order to comply strictly with the letter of the contract, shipped in $70,0O0 in gold coin from Fl Paso, under guard, to tender in payment for the property The money was re ceived here Thursday and deliv- cred to the First National Bank at Globe.
