FAKE ADVERTISING.

The Commercial Club will shortly
begin raising money to be used in
legitimate channels for advertising
the city Of Topeka. says the Jour
nal. The plan embraces an icono-
elastic rule against all members of
the Commercial Club spending mon
ey on fake advertising gratis. In
this connection the following. taken
from the monthly magazine called
Advertising" is of interest:
The advertising CRATER is man
who makes his living solely by his
wits, says the editor of a country
weekly. He is the same genius in
the advertising field as the street
corner fakir, who sells worthless
shaving soap, toothache cures, cure
all remedies, etc.
He lands in town, looks up the
president or secretary of some labor
union and offers him $40 for the
union and $40 for himself to get
letter stating that he is authorized
to get up an official union time book
He arranges it so that half the
inside pages and all the covers carry
ads. Say that the printers charge
is $50. Then this privilege costs
him $50. He has sixteen pages of
ads besides the four pages Of cover.
His advertising space then costs him
81 per page.
With this letter of endorsement
he goes out to solicit the support"
Of the business community for the
benefit of the union
Then he looks over the firms in a
certain line and marks various firms
names down as having taken certain
spaces. He puts the screw on an
other firm in the same line by show
ing that the merchants competitors
are all in and he should dislike to
have the union form the opinion that
his house was the only one that re-
fused the union much needed friend
ly help" He gets the ad and gets
s. for a quarter page.
Then he rubs out another name
and applies the same process to that
firm and gets another IS and so on.
The result is that he gets an
average of about 80 or SIS page
for his twenty pages. clearing up
about 500 for himself in a week or
ten days at most. Then he kisses
Jacksonville fond goodbye and
posts fellow CRATER that Jackson
vile merchants are dead easy.
The same game is practiced with
all sorts Of churches. lodges. socie-
ties. unions, philanthropies. chari-
bic organizations, city and rural
mail carriers. etc. as base.
As the worthy charity" gets
only about 5 to 10 per cent of the
total. the merchant can mail the
charity his check for = few dollars
and save himself so per cent Of this
'holdup' expense.
A progressive western town hes
hit upon . rather novel advertising
plan. and il might be adopted else
where to good advantage. On al

DIED FROM EXPOSURE.

Camille Richards, a French
man, was found lying on the
pavement at the south side of
the Vendome hotel Thursday
morning and the early passersby
thought perhaps he was intoxi-
Gated and was only lying there
asleep. But later Investigations
proved that the unfortunate fell
low was dead. DIR. Shirley was
summoned and a hasty examina-
tion showed he had been dead
some little time.
From VIM. Waite and Harry
Seymour, other prospectors and
miners who came with him to
Weiser from Boise the day be-
fore, it was learned that Rich
ards was about "a years of age,
and that he was an old prospec-
tor and owned some valuable
claims in Custer county near
Custer county. His wife, from
whom he has been separated
about Is years, resides with a
son in Butte, Montana, where
she is said to be employed in
McConnell's department store,
From those who know him he is
said to have been a habitual
drunkard. AS a result no in
quest was deemed necessary, fol
he had evidently fallen where
he was found and died from ex
posure. Weiser Signal.

MINING AT SINGISER.

FoRNEY, Ida, Dec. 5th, 1905.
Judging from the present out
look; this section of the State
seems to be on the eve of pros
perity she has not seen for sew
eral years not since the "palmy
days, of Yellow Jacket, and l
believe that in time, with proper
development of her large bodies
of low grade, free-milling ores,
it will make one of the best min
ing sections in Idaho.
At Singiser they are working
a force of II men doing develop
ment work, and getting things
in shape to erect large hoisting
works.
The old hosting works were
destroyed by fire last spring, and
but little has been done during
the past season; but it is an
nouneed that work will be re
newed with a vigor in the spring
and that larger hoisting works
than ever will be erected.a

which will be used in the erec-
ton of their new buildings.
The Rabbit Foot Mining Co.,
who are operating the Ramey
group of mines on the head of
Pine creek, are doing a great
deal of work; yet little is known
to the outside world what an
amount of work is being done
by this company.
The work is being done sys-
tematically and with vim; and
there is no attempt being made
to give the camp a boom, but
everything is to the contrary.
All the work is under the sup
ervision of Jas. r. Moss, who is
practical mining and mill man.
Mr.. Moss is superintendent of
this company, and is also man
ager of the Twentieth Century
Mining company of Thunder
Mountain.
This property consists of 30
claims (both placer and quartz)of
immense bodies of low grade,
free-milling ores. They have
been worked on a small scale for
the past 25 or 30 years, but they
have been too large an under
taking for poor men to work sue
cessfully.
A 10-stamp mill is being erect
ed to treat the ores, and should
the mine come up to the stock
holders expectations a large mill
will be built in the future. The
framework of the mill is prac-
tically finished, and the machin-
cry will be on the grounds in a
very few days. The stamps are
expected to be dropping some
time between Christmas and New
Years.
A 373 foot contract on the new
tunnel has been finished recently
by H. o. Johnson and another
125 foot contract on the same
tunnel was let on Nov. Goth to
Jack Leach. This tunnel will
tap the ledge at depth of $50
feet and will connect with the
old workings by raise. An
Iother crew have been working
lin another tunnel taking out ore
for the mill to make its first run.
The mining claims recently
secured of @. G. Williams at Vel
low Jacket by the Black Eagle
Mining company, has frightened
the outlook for the coming sea-
son at that camp which for so
many years was one of the best
mining camps of Central Idaho.
Like our old friend-"Ka
| Klawson" of the Yankee Fork
Observatory too, can say
there are no 'kickers" over this
: way, and while we cannot boast
of a "Short Air Line" we have
an old "cross-eyed' ''bob-tailed'
sway backed" COW we can al
ways rely on to transport US tc
other climes.
