Why Does lie.

Why is it when a merchant
gives a piece of job work or
advertising 10 country news
paper, he wants and thinks it a
hard ship if the Editor or the
Devil does not take it out in
trade"
In a town the Ze of the
Queen It the Pa ries, the ma
Jority I'll ~ C.st customers a
merchant has, are from the
country and when they come to
tine city and have stuff TO sell,
jus, like the editors space, the
In, reliant does not expect him
or her to take it out in trade.
Or, for instance, a grocer or
dry goods man has fifty labor
ers or mechanics for customers,
what if those men say: See
here, | have traded with you,
row suppose you fix me with
work so l, instead of paying
you anything Tor the goods you
had to pay dollars for, you Will
still be in my debt and will have
to find dollars to pay me a bal
ance.
The goods a country news
paper has to sci. is: ADVER.
TISING SPACE and it is a
class of goods that always gives
the advertiser better returns
than it does the press and not
only that, but the biggest mer-
chants, the ones who have made
fortunes, are the ones who have,
done Observation-Disclosures
advertising and they never
think of asking the metropoli-
tan newspaper man why don't
you trade more with me than
you do?
The advertiser loses sight of
this vital fact: 1t is the trade
of the public generally and not
a specific individuals trade
which is sought.

ALSACIA TO RESUME
 ON FIRST Of MONTH
WARMING FACTIONS GET TO
 CIPHER FOR BUSINESS.
Development Will Be From 45o Foot Level of Shaft, Where Nine Feet of High Grade Gold-Siiver Ore Were When Work Stopped.

The Alsacia mine, 2S miles from Cananea in the Ajos mountains, is to resume development work on the first of the month, according to arrange ments that have recently been made.
 The Alsacia reached what is believ- ed to be an important ore body last year. Unfortunately, just at the time the workings got to the ore, discord broke out in the ranks of the direc- tors and stockholders of the cCmpa- ny. As a result matters of develop ment came to a standstill, n order that those interested in the property and having direction of it's destiny might devote some valuable time 70 wrangling among themselves without being disturbed by the amassing of riches from the ground
 A couple of months ago a reconcili- ation was brought about between the warning factions, and arrangements made 10 once more do business at the mine. It is under this arrangement that development resumes at the property on the first of the month. Among other important features of the reconciliation is a repleted treas ury carrying sufficient money to do a large amount of work. The latter viii commence from the 45O-fOot level of the incline shaft that was put down before the company went into the ca- pulling business. When the shaft stopped there were nine feet of high grade ore showing in the breast of the incline.
 The Alsacia is a copper-silveT prop erty, and assays of the ore it has shows values that if maintained will make it one of the richest mines in Sonora. The formation is right for continuance and the outlook exceed ingly good for the next few months of work to show up a large body of ore. St. Joe capitalists hold the principal interest in the company. They are men of large means and sbundantly able to make a mine at the property c. F. Wrenn, of this city, has a consi1- erable interest with the St. Joe peo- pie.
