AN UP-TO-DATE
PUBLICITY FIRM

Does advertising pay? This is a ques-
ton which has some time or another
come to nearly every business man in
the country. That advertising does
pay and the money so invested brings
lasting results has many times been
proven. and this applies to every line
of business. The most important ques
ton to solve is just what kind of adj
vertising is most beneficial to the ad-
vertiser. Large advertisers in all parts
of America. many of them spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually to exploit the merit of their pro-
duct. are unanimous in their indOrse-
ment of outdoor advertising.
Billboard advertising is different to-
day than it was twenty or. even ten
years ago. Like other industries, it has
advanced rapidly, and where once they
We're unattractive. unpleasing to the
eye, the billboards one now sees in diff
ferent parts of the country are works
of art which attract the careful atten-
ton of the public.
Salt Lake City billboards and bulle-
tin signs are just as artistic and at
tractive as any in the United States.

tins in Salt Lake, Ogden, Provo. Spring

sure of 200 pounds. Three hydrant
houses are scattered back of the mill
and in the mill are eight plugs and
LOO feet of hose. The building exclu-
sive Of the dryer addition, is 100 feet
wide and 1874 feet deep. while from the
lower floor to the highest point is 1870
feet. The ore is run by means of mule
train from the shaft to the top Of the
mill. Here is an immense ore bin
with capacity of $500 tons and TWEEN
ty-one ore gates to drop the ore from
the bin to the cars below.
The mine also has its own sampling
mill, and all the shipping ore and con-
centrates- are sampled before being
sent to the station. This mill has been
the means of saving those operating
the mine thousands of dollars. It's
saving the first year of its operation
more than paid for its construction.
The sampler is of very modern type
and handles the ore with the least
possible labor. 1t has four large stOr-
age bins from which the ore is con-
veyed TO the crushed by means of a
Robin belt conveyor. From the crush
er the ore is elevated to the top of
the mill and discharged through the
first sampler. This sampler cuts out
one-fourth and the balance goes to the
shipping bins. The sample thus cut
out is again raised to the top of the
mill by means of a bucket elevator and
discharged through a second sampler.
which cuts out one fourth. And so on
until the ore has passed through the
last sampler. The sample is then dis
charged in a small bin from which it
is quartered down, crushed to fine pow
der and made ready in the shape of a
hand sample for the assayeT. But very
little labor is required to operate the
sampler. and with il the cost of sam
ping has been reduced to a minimum.
From the ore bin at the lower floor
of the sampler runs the aerial tram
way. This tramway is over 1000 feet
in length and serves to handle the out
put of the mine as well as to haul all
the coal used at the plant. 1t works
automatically and only three men are
required to operate it. Before it's in
stallation it cost 81 per ton for the
hauling of ores to the sampler and 50
per ton for coal.
The cost of transporting the ore has
been reduced to less than one-fifth of
this figure. while the cost of hauling
the coal is practically nothing. 9th
er improvements are constantly being
added to increase the production of
the mine. the comfort of the miners
and the prosperity of the sharehold-
ers.

p. Jones of Nevada was once a part own
err. Mark Twain so well-known writer
recently declared also at one time owned
a portion of the territory now embraced
in the original Nevada Douglas group. But
in those days, copper mining was I'M
profitable and little did they realize that
the day would come when the ground they
then possessed would form the basis for
one of the great copper mines of the
world.
The Ludwig mine has distinguished it
self by being the producer of nearly. every
known character of copper ore, including
the beautiful cuprite or malachite. which
when polished, has been used extensively
in the manufacture of ornamental jewelry,
it being more valuable for that purpose
Notwithstanding it carries from 20 to 80
per cent copper At water level in the
Ludwig. which is $50 feet, the water car
ries from l to 112 per cent copper which
can be made to pay by precipitation upon
tin or iron.
The Nevada Douglas company has
planned a system of development which,
when its object is accomplished, will en-
able the production of copper at a cost,
it is claimed by engineers who have
looked into the subject as low as any 9TH
er mine in the country.
While the property is being developed at
numerous points of attack and where most
satisfactory results are being obtained
in every instance, a tunnel is being dTiv-
en- into the heart of Douglas hill and will
become the main artery through which
ores viii be taken in the future,
A little later in the year the matter of
smelter construction will be given con
sideration, and the showing in the com
bined properties already justifies the cree
ton of plant of large capacity.
The Nevada Douglas Copper company
has been solidly financed and credit for
this is due largely to the efforts put forth
