Advertising Mining Camps.

At present the best advertised camp
in the west is Goldheld, Nevada. Since
the advent of the twentieth century ad
vertising expert the new mining dis
trict has been doomed with tropical
exuberance of language and wealth
OF adjectives that, II there is any vir-
tue in advertising at all, ought to bring
results.
We have before us the last issue of a
Colorado publication devoted to the
mining industry and which Is largely
given over to the advertising of min
ing companies whose properties are in
the new Nevada Ell Dorado.
Printers ink applied to the exploita-
ton of the mining industry Is not
new idea, but the bubbling and over
flowing confidence which the promot-
ers have in the new field, and particu-
larly in their own schemes Is refresh
ing and invigorating. We are assured
that the man who puts up his money
simply cannot lose. One company Of
fers the prospective investor chance
to get in with the promoters" and tells
the public that the concern has all the
"earmarks OF n dividend payer"
Another company informs the world
that 1t is next to the producer of rich
ore and is bound" to cut the vein, so
the public is invited to get In on the
ground floor.
Still another company owns mile
OF gold quartz ledges," but II you have
the price you can get in on the sub
cellar for,only cents q share.
Still another company's prospectus
writer bursts into lyrics, saying that
"Moses leads us In Nevada's desert.
It's Goldheld, the treasure vault of the
western empire" For cents you can
break into a company that is already
paying expenses out Of Its property.
IF you want to secure an income for
life," another advertising expert In
forms us. all that is necessary is to In.
vest in another company and your wor-
ries are over.
"Then we have another sthat Is a
sure winner" One company heads It's
announcement with the startling cap
tion "A mile of gold"
The Goldheld advertising, however,
certainly reaches the limit In the mat
ter OF superlatives, and II fraction of
ten per cent. of what the promoters
say Is true 1t Is the biggest. camp ever.
1t Is evident that the district is going
to enjoy as big stock -jobbing boom az
ever Cripple Creek did In It's palmiest
days.

Cripple Creek Dividends.

largest dividend of the month was that
OF Stratton's Independence, the money
for which was all derived from the

can get a greater revenue from their

How the Hymn was Saved.

Not the technical merit of words or mu-
sic, but the effect produced when wor-
shippers sing with the spirit and the I'M
derstandingn - this Is the justification Of
many useful hymn. The truth was eX-
emplihed as Zion's Herald tells, during
the preparation of the Wesleyan hymnsl
recently published in London.
Sir Frederick Bridge, the orgsnist Of
Westminster Abbey, generously gave his
services as adviser to the committee that
prepared the new book, and frequently It's
meetings were held at his home. As
musician, Sir Frederick found it easy TO
criticise some of the old Methodist tunes.
One in particular ought TO be dropped, he
said.
"You wouldn't think so If you could
hear that hymn sung as the old Wesleyans
used to sing it," some one suggested,
Sir Frederick hesitated
''Mary, my cook, is a Methodist he
said. ''Ill see il she knows it,"
Forthwith he went to the dumb-wa.ter
which led to the basement kitchen, and
when the cook answered, asked her II she
knew the tune.
''Yes, sir" she replied. 'Tye sung 1t
ever since was,s child"
''wnl you sing it for me, just where
you are?r
''I'll try, sir, "iiand the cook lifted up hsr
voice with feryor and soul power, Inc
old hymn, with all the pathos ana rouse
ment OF revival service ringing through
the words and melody, came up through
the "liftn and into the room where tns
distinguished musician and his sness
were assembled.
THANK you, Maryin called sir freq.
erick, when the song was ended. Then hs
turned to the committee, ssNNe cannot
afford to drop that good old MethodH'
tune out of the new book, f" he said.
In it went; and when the new hyill mn
book appeared handsome copy OF u wa ~
sent TO Mary, the cook, in recognition, u ~
the part she had played in preserving on'
of the old-time Wesleyan melodies.
