ard are Considering an Option on
thu Bird Property.

Jerry Morrow. manager for tae Zim-
norman interests was in Crystal Falls
last Tuesday and spent The day looking
around and over the various properties
which have been offered TO his COM
pany in this district He was accom-
panied by Isaac Williams. Sr. who has
charge of the active exploratory work
which the concern is carrying on in
this county.
Together they drove to the Dalpra
property across the river, the fee OF
which is owned by the Carpenter Cook
people. A shaft was sunk close TO Mr..
Dalpra's house several years ago by
Mr.. Dalpra and others and some ore
was shown up but not enough work
was done to base any intelligent opin.
ion of the property upon. Samples
were taken of the dirt on the dump
and 1t Is probable that the property
will be thoroughly tested the coming
summer.
CAN'T GET DRILLS.
One OF the greatest drawbacks TO ex-
ploration the coming summer is the
difficulty In getting drills to prosecute
the work with. The big contracting
companies. Cole a. Mcdonald and
Longyear a. Hodge. are contracted to
their capacity and IL Is difficult to get
them TO take on any more work, es-
pecially for new explorers as they feel
more like giving their old customers
attention when there is any drill re-
leased.
Owing to this difficulty there may
be considerable of curtailment In the
original work planned by new con-
Germs, especially in the line Of drilling.
About the only recourse open Is to em
ploy the Sullivan company to do the
work or TO buy outfits and the explorers
do the work themselves. Even when
the latter method Is resorted TO the
difficulties are not eradicated for there

Was Feared.
The lion Trade Review says '.The
opening of the second quarter of the
year finds the iron market thoroughly
sound. The one fear which has been
entertained 20 some extent was that
the railroads might curtail buying.
Cancellations Of contracts by railroad
interests have been few. indications
are that buying viii be resumed on an
extensive scale. The United States
Steel corporation being in need of cars
on a number of its railroads expressed
its willingness 10 have Is name entered
in the places of any companies which
might cancel contracts for rolling
stock, and this action has been an i'm
portant factor in causing more con-
fident feeling and perhaps In checking
cancellations.
while complete returns are not yet
available. IL Is known that in spite Of
the heavy handicap imposed by the
floods in the Pittsburg district. the
steel corporation broke numerous in
dividual records during March. parti-
cularly those plants most fayorably
located. and in all lines the aggregate
output was near the highest existing
figures.
Agricultural implement manufact-
urers have apparently abandoned ali
hope Of obtaining the desired conces-
sion on steel bars and some Of them

for only six months instead Of for the

THE BEST
ADVERTISING

am uncompromisingly opposed
TO billboard advertising for the fol-
lowing established reasons First.
billboard and other forms OF outdoor
advertising constitute a second or
third grade OF profitable publicity.
By many prominent and successful
advertisers they are classed as illegi
innate methods OF advertising. Com
paratively few advertisers consider
them of more than secondary value.
Ninety per cent Of the better class
OF advertisers refuse to use them at
all. The fundamental basis of all
good advertising whether IL be OF
national or local character. is vest
