CHAMBER MAY Be
RECEPTION HALL
PLACE FOR BRYAN FESTIVITIES
NOT SELECTED
Great Commoner Will Lecture for the
Benefit of the Newsboys' Home
and Visit Places of
interest

There is a possibility that the public
reception in honor of William Jennings
Bryan will take place at the chamber
of commerce.
Within the next few da. it will be
decided whether the proposed reception
shall occur i'm the chamber of commerce
or in Temple auditorium.
In either event, it is the intention of
the committee having the affair IN
charge to make the reception public
affair, i'm which all citizens of Los An
geles. irrespective of party, will have
an opportunity of participating.
The proposed banquet will be under
the auspices of the Los Angeles Demo-
cratic club. Eugene Germain. who was
recently elected president of the club,
will have full charge of the arrange
ments for the banquet, and it is his
announced intention to make it the
most successful affair of the kind ever
held in Los Angeles.
Within few days Mr.. German will
appoint his various committees who
will have charge of the details of the
arrangements, but all the essential
work will be under his personal super
vision.
Mr. Bryan. who will be accompanied
by Mrs. Bryan, has earnestly requested
in a letter Just received from him that
no plans will be made for his entertain
ment that in any manner will interfere
with his lecture to be delivered at
Simpson auditorium on the night of
January 2S.
Lectures for Newsboys
Mr.. Bryans lecture, which will be on
1.-The Value of an IDEAL" is for the
benefit of the Newsboys' home, and be-
cause of the fact that the proceeds
will go to such an institution Mr.. Bry
an is anxious that the affair shall be a
success.
This will be Mrs. Bryan's first visit
to Los Angeles, and it is her desire. as
well as that of Mr.. Bryan, to visit sew
eral points of interest, including Cata-
lima island, during their stay, which is
rather indefinite. Aside from the re-
ception and banquet, Mr.. Bryans COM
ing and going and his entertainment
other than the two public events, will
be in charge of individual friends.
The banquet will be held on the even
Ing of Tuesday, January 90. and if it
Is possible for Mr.. Bryan to return in
time for the banquet he and Mrs. Bry-
IN, accompanied by several personal
friends, will make the trip to Catalina
island during the day. In this event
The public reception will be held We'd
nesday afternoon.
The trip to Catalina island and to
other points will be arranged after it is
learned definitely how long the distin-
guished visitor will remain in Los An
geles.

New Copper Districts

The new copper districts winch nave
been discovered at Ely, New, Green
water Cal, and in Arizona are attract
ing prospectors and investors alike.
Greenwater now has a camp with from
1900 to 2OOO population. A bank and
a newspaper have been founded. Mill
lions of dollars have already been in
vested in this district by the copper
kings, and a gigantic combination OF
copper properties, with a capitalization
of S25, 900 900, is now under way. Green
water will soon have railroad transpor-
tation and a smelter is to be built at
Ash Meadows.
At Ely the railroad is already built
into the copper district, and $10,OOO,-
600 smelter now being erected by the
Guggenheims is nearing completion.
This copper district is much farther
advanced than Greenwater, for the
reason that it had been developed as a
gold and silver district years ago. the
presence of copper was then unsus-
pected. There is no trace of copper on
the surface, but it has been found IN
prodigious quantities at depths vary
ing from 100 to 450 feet. In the opinion
of experts the underlying deposit of
copper at Ely is practically ineXhausti-
BILE. Besides the Guggenheims' great
property a number of other heavy pro-
ducers have been developed. and the
list of favorable prospects is a large
and growing one.
GreenWater on the Map
In the east they still deny Ely and
Greenwater a place upon their maps,
and the eastern papers insist that an
investor in mining stocks is a fool.
The investors of the west know that
mining propositions which are legiti-
mate are better profit-makers than real
estate or money lending. The man
who invests in mining stocks may lose
more often than he wins, but some one
mining investment out of a number is
sure to pay and when profits do come
they wipe out long list of failures.
one of the best mining investments
which can be recommended to an in
Vestor is company which owns more
than one property-preferabl bly, proper
ties in separate camps. The one propo-
sition reinforces the other. There is a
reserve line TO fall back upon.
The Greenwater Ely Consolidated
! Copper company, which is owned in
Los Angeles and vicinity, has just let
contract for the development of its
Rockefeller group at Ely by the sink
ing Of a shaft 100 feet deep. The presi-
| dent of the company, S. NJ. Mingus, is
! personally superintending the work.
| The Old Camp group, owned by this
! company at Greenwater, is next to be
developed. 1t is situated on Willow
| creek. about eight miles southwest of
/ Greenwater camp. Another property
on Willow creek has just changed
| hands for $25,000. The Los Angeles
stockholders in the Greenwater Ely
| Consolidated Copper company believe
| they have fully as valuable prospect
as that ana assert that they could sell
out their holdings today for more than
they paid, but they prefer to hold it
and develop 1t themselves.

INTEREST CROWS
IN RED METAL
Quotations Closely Watched-copper
Shares on the Coast and in
the East in Steady
Demand

The present boom in mining stocks,
it is claimed by many persons, is the
logical result of period of continued
financial prosperity and the advent of
January profit takings. Men have more
money to invest and more men have
money to invest than usual. Copper
stocks attract the most attention be-
cause that metal is steadily advancing
in price, the quotations now being
higher than they have been in forty
years. Last week copper was quoted
at 231a cents a pound. 1t is estimated
that it costs 10 or IL cents a pound to
produce copper. The profits now in
copper mining are ten times what they
were four wears ago,

Homemade Treatment to
Overcome Rheumatism.

When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scranton (Pa.)
Times that he had found a new
way to treat that dread American
disease, Rheum atism, with just
common, everyday drugs found in
any drug store, the physicians
were slow indeed to attach much
Importance to his claims. This
was only few months ago. To-
day nearly every newspaper in the
country, even the metropolitan
dallies, is announcing it and the
splendid results achieved. 1t is so
simple that any one can prepare it
at home at small cost. 1t is made
up as follows: Get from any good
prescription pharmacy Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Mix by shaking in
bottle and take in teaspoonful
doses after each meal and at bed
time. These are all simple in
gradients, making an absolutely
harmless home remedy at little
cost.
Rheumatism, as every one
knows, is n symptom of deranged
kidneys. 1t Is condition pro-
duced by the failure of the kid
neys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and
other matter which, if not eradi-
Gated either in the urine or
through the skin pores, remains in
the blood, decomposes and forms
about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and
deformity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be
splendid healing, cleansing and
invIgorating tonic to the kidneys,
and gives almost immediate relief
in all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles and backache. He also
warns people in leading New
York paper against the discrimi-
nate use of many patent medi-
cines.

Well, about three weeks, or
more, ago l started out on route

Hooking county. l left Logan at
8:25 a. M, for Union Furnace,
thence up the hollow and over the
hill, striking the route st Andy
Reinschell's, his daughter, not
only handsome but pleasingly ac-
complished, at once saw the won
derful newspaper bargain that the
DEMooRAT-SENTINEL presented, and
as matter Of course they are on
our list, with the Times Star,
Hartman's Stockbreeder' Guide
and the beautiful maps, at the
very ruinous price of 50 so in ad-
vance. This being the first house
on the route, from where / started
in, and securing sale, |, of
course, felt pretty gay. Continu-
ing on the route, as the carrier
goes, / reached N. w. Woodard's 9
at about the regular dinner hour

a good hearty dinner | continued

nearly everyone had gone to Mel

strange that l should return 80

matter she very kindly took me in !.
Mr.. Woodland and his brother were
at the circus but got home at o p.

was very agreeable. Good grub
and plenty of it properly cooked.

Haydenville, which brought

men work on a different plan from
other stock dealers in the county
Instead of travelling over the
county gathering up stock, they
go direct to Chicago, buy at fair
figures, stock that fills the re-
quirements of our home farmers.
"The stock we buy" said Mr..
Woodland, "gives better satisfac-
tion than the stock raised at home,
and besides, we have thousands
to select from. We pick out the
cattle we want, cattle adapted to
this range, and pay the price, -
and we select the very best. So
far we are more than satisfied with
the results" These gentlemen
are at present in the Chicago
markets.
