cry Word of This Article

The men that have maze big money in
Los Angeles real estate are the men
who got in on the ground floor and
bought the acreage that was subdi-
Vided into lots and sold to the public
at immense profits. And so it is in
the mining fields &C cv- Ia and east
ern California, the men who get in
on the ground floor and buy the
claims are the men who will sell the
mines at big juicy profit.
In the Heart
In the very heart of the Manhattan
mining district. the camp that has
never had a failure. are three claims
and three fractions that can be bought
for mere song compared with what
neighboring properties are selling at,
and have an option for one week on
this property at the very low price of
$4,000, payable in three payments.
Plan of Action
What | want to do is to form syn
dicate to take over this property, in
corporate and sell treasury stock
enough to develop the property and
then either sell the mine at an inn
mense profit or keep II and reap the
benefit of the millions of dollars that
it Will eventually pay in dividends
Opportunity for Five
Five men, with $4,000 each, can make
a comfortable fortune out of these
claims If you don't believe it, come
and read the report of the eminent
mining engineer, Lenord l.. Sivyer, and
see what he says about 1t. Last week
the indian Camp property was sold
for $4,000, and Mr.. slvyer says that
they have not one-half the favorable
showing that our group has.
Any Broker VIII Tell You
If you wish to verify my statements
about Manhattan, just step into any
brokers' office and look over the list
OF mining stocks that are on the gilt
edge" list and you will ind Manhat-
tan abundantly represented because
Manhattan is known as the camp with
out failure.

RATES LOWER THAN IN EUROPE
Passenger Rates in America Now Near
Bedrock

1t is claimed that with the recent gen.
eral reductions in passenger fares by
the Hartman lines in the west and the
2-cent fares in effect in thickly popu-
lated states east of the Mississippi
river. the passenger tariffs in the
United States are now below those of
Europe and among the lowest in the
world.
An uninterested statistician has pre-
pared figures showing that the passen-
only far below those of Europe, but
that i'm many instances the combined
sleeping car and railroad rate in the
United States is less than the passen-
ger fare alone in Europe. Here are a
few of the comparisons where dis
tances are similar:

MATERIAL FOR KEYS OF PIANO
Elephant Tusks by the Ton Arrive at
Boston,

When the steamship Philadelphia
among the other things in her cargo
consignment of elephant tusks, or
teeth, as they are called in the ships
manifest.
There are about 300 tusks in the
consignment, and in weight they run
from about seventy-five pounds to the
weight of an ordinary man. Few OF
them are less than yard in length,
and one is fully eight feet long, having
evidently been the property at some
lime of an elephant that would rival
the famed Jumbo in size.
According to those handling the big
lot of ivory on the ship the tusks arc
valued at about SO pound, and as
there are about sixteen tons in the lot
they must be worth close to 100000
or an average of $500 each.
The firm to which the tusks are con.
signed is engaged in the manufacture
Of piano keys, and only the best grade
and whitest Of ivory can be used for
this purpose. The work of transport
ing the tusks from the ship to the
Cambridge factory was begun this af-
ternoon. AS may be supposed such
instrument Of ivory are not infre.
ruent at this port, but the present
shipmen> is an unusually large and
line one. They will be cut up into
s!ivers and then cut into sizes for the
tops of the piano KEYS before being
polished. Boston Globe.

MONOPOLY REBUKED.

Last week the Provo Butchers &
Grocers association removed the Bell
telephones from their business
places, as result of the refusal of
the telephone company to grant them
equal rates made by the Independent
Telephone company. All sorts of
wire pulling by the Bell company
characterized this new effort TO de-
feat the demands of their patrons
for satisfactory service at reasonable
rates.
AS yet the association has made
no attempt at retaliation for the in
fluence eXerted against them by the
would-be local political bosses, but it
is more than possible this will come
about, and will assume form which
will cause them to take notice. This
marks an era in retail business, and
shows the stuff those merchants are
made of, in rebuking those high in
political life for interfering with in
terests with which they were in no
way directly connected
Residents of the intermountain
country now realize that in telephone
matters they are no longer at the
mercy of the greedy Boston monop-
oily. When it is recalled the mag
nificent showing the Independent
company has made in rapid growth,
and the excellent service it main
tains, Utahns are to be congratulate.
ed. The Utah Independent Tele-
phone company has just rounded out
its second year, and in healthy
growth, in number of subscribers and
public favor has accomplished more
in that brief period than the Bel
company showed after a full quarter
of a century.
These are times when obsolete
methods, backed by the tremendous
power of a strongly entrenched mo-
nopoly, are powerless to stay the adj
vance of up-to-date systems and
clean practices exerted in the pub
lie interest. The history of the Bel
monopoly is rife with dark transac-
lions, which in comparison render
Standard Oil a pure and wholesome
feature of our business life.
Right must and shall prevail, and
when these gorged opponents of the
people will have learned the lesson
the Provo merchants so strikingly il
lustrate, then will we see the dawn
of an era of better things.

A Leader Who Benefited Farmers.

j. Walter PancoasJ has probably been
the instigation of a movement that has
been a greater benefit to the dairy farm
ers of South Jersey than any other act.
About eight years ago the dairymen were
greatly imposed npon by Philadelphia
milk dealers, who would return the milk
as spoiled when they had some over and
also by cutting the wholesale price below
pIonO. .noo@.s@. to
the conclusion that as the manufacturer
controls the price of his product so should
tie farmers do SO with their milk instead
of allowing the dealers organization set
the price.
After a conference a well advertised
meeting was largely attended in Camden.
Mr.. Pancoast was chairman of the
meeting and also the committee on con-
stitution and bylaws, and later was chos-
en- president of the organization. He
was one OF the few men who attended
the meetings and kept the organization
going in its infancy.
When the dealers made another ruin
Gus cut in 1901, Mr.. Pancoast wrote the
call for a meeting in Mercantile hall,
Philadelphia, of all dairymen shipping
milk into Philadelphia. With the assis-
lance of c. s. Atkinson. Of Bucks Co., Pa,
the dealers were so aroused that the Phil
adelphia Milk Shippers Union was or
ganized. Mr.. Pancoast was the president
until he resigned and is still a member of
the executive committee.
Thru this organization the dairymen
are receiving &c. a quart more for their
milk which amounts to $500 daily
and S547, 500 more yearly. This sum
benefits the whole community in the
dairy section.
The organization does not claim the
power to fix prices arbitrarily, but do
claim that thru the organization they
can reap the advantages when conditions
justify an advance in price. They point
to the fact that dairymen about Philadel-
phia get more for their milk than the
producers for any other northern city in
the east.

nj. +, Conferrence Appointments,


The New Jersey Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church closed its
annual session at Como on Mon
day, when the appS gere read.
The question OF al women into
full ordination as MINK discuss
ed and voted upon. The was
brought up-because Miss E. Nus has
done. great work in the Peoples Church,
Atlantic City. 1t was acknowledged
that she was fully competent and the
rights to marry and administer the sacra-
ment were given her, but the Conference
voted against ordaining her as a minister
because it would set a precedent for the
application of others not as competent
as Miss Nutter.
The question of the uniting of the M.
P. Church with the United Brethren and
Congregational Methodists was discussed,
but no final action taken. Rev. Charles
r. Jones, superintendent Of the Congre-
gational Mission, addressed the Confer
ence on the subject and brought greetings
from the Pennsylvania Congregational
Union. He thought it was time that the
three denominations were getting better
acquainted; in fact as he put it, 1--WE ought
to get married."
Drs. Clark and Sinkinson and Layman
Peter Watson were appointed a commit
tee to attend the next meeting Of the
Congregationalists' gathering.
The Preachers Aid Society reported
$4,000 invested in good securities. The
interest on this money is used tor the
help of incapacitated preachers.
In the past 20 years salaries of preach
ers have been increased from $4,000 in
80 churches. $22, 900 in 81 churches, and
the valuation of church property has in
creased $3.50, 695 in the anne period.
Rev. DR.. Sinkinson, of Atlantic City,
Sunday night gave a glowing account OF
his Summer in the Holy Lands.
