RACE FOR SOCIAL PREsTAGE.

A recent Pittsburg special says:
80 mad has the race for social su-
prcmacy become that many owners
of houses worth from $1,000 to
$40, 900, which they have acquired
after years of toll and saving, are
mortgaging them in order to buy au-
tomobiles. So fearful are they of be-
ing outshone by their neighbors that
they are resorting to the most reckless
extravaganza of wealth on an income
not exceeding $3.50 month"
The above is embodied in the report
of a committee of the New Era Wo'
mans Club, which has been investi-
eating social conditions in this city.
The club women find that women
and girls who have married men re-
ceiving salaries from 500 to $3.50 a
month are gradually driving their
husbands bankrupt, in many instan-
ces, for the sake of possessing some
means of distinguishing themselves.
Homes which have been procured
through years of saving and hard la
Dor are being threatened with the
auctioneer's hammer or the foreclos-
ing of mortgage, because milady has
seen her neighbours big red touring
car and does not wish her to gain the
reputation ofpossessing something she
herself can not have.
Something must be done, and
done quickly" the report says, Ito

NEXT PRESIDENT
NINE IS SOLD
Rich Producer Passes Into Hands Of Sub
staniaI Company.
$4,000 PAID FOR THE VALUABLE PROPERTY

A deal involving $4,000 has been
closed in the sale OF the Next President
and Bledsoe properties, located on Bob
tail hill. The purchasers are the
Stephens Investment & Trust company
OF Denver, represented by the president,
H. J. STEPHENS. Several months ago
the company secured an option on the
mines and at once set to work cleaning
out the various levels and making a
thorough examination OF the workings.
OF high grade ore the company conclud-
ed to buy.
Mr.. Stephens was interviewed this
week by an Observer reporter over
phone and said his company had not
only bought the Next President and
Bledsoe mines but had an option on
several other claims near these proper
ties which he thought they would buy
within short time.
One contract has already been let for
the driving Of drift 200 feet at the AGO.
foot level and negotiations are being
made for contract to drive 400 addi.
tional feet. In the AGO foot level large
body of high grade smelling ore has
been exposed.
Within the past two years the Next
President has been idle and for long
period prior to that time the mine was
only worked in desultory manner.
Some years ago, when worked steadily
some of the most valuable ore ever ship
ped from the county was taken from this
property. This ore gave returns OF "a
ounces gold to the ton.
The Next President is located within
300 or 400 feet of the celebrated Gregory
Bobtail lode, which has a record produc.
ton OF gold aggregating s13,OooO0O.
Several properties in close proximity to
the Next President, including the Next
President. have a total production Of
gold amounting to nearly S40,000,0oO.
Mr.. Stephens says his company in
tends to do all development that is nee.
essary on their properties and will en-
deavor to make the mines rank with the
leading producers of Gilpin county. AL.
ready a good sized force of men is at
work getting the Next President in shape
for heavy operations.

Federal Mine Resumes.

The Federal mine in Russell Gulch,
which adjoins the Old Town on the west,
has been taken over by eastern parties,
represented here by W. E. Campbell, and
Wednesday morning crew of men was
started to work under the new manage
ment, says the Idaho Springs Siftings.
The new operators have long term
bond and lease on the property, the bond
calling for s22,50O it is said, and reason
able royalty. The shaft has been sunk
to depth of over 400 feet, and but little
drifting has been done. In the second
level west the hanging wall was followed
a short distance and when crosscut
was driven to reach the footwall, it was
found that there was split in the vein
at this point. Further development re-
vealed the fact that the main ore body
had followed the foot wall and the work
is now under way of driving from the
shaft into this ore shoot. There is little
doubt but that the Federal is the west.
ern extension of the vein on which is To-
Gated the main productive portion of the
Old Town, as the ore is very similar in
values and appearance. Manager Camp
bell expects to start shipping from the
property within the next thirty days, by
which time he will have enough dead
work done to insure steady production.

SARATOGA ALMe:! RESTORED.
viii Probably Resume Shipment Of Ore Some
time In February.

Mr.. John Owen reports that in spite
Of great discouragements the work Of
restoring the Saratoga mine is progress
ing and within short time it will be
possible to begin shipping. The shaft
will have been drained to the bottom by
the first OF February. The water level
is now go feet below the eighth level and
recedlng at the rate of five feet per day.
The bad air from the eighth level raising
in on the sixth is causing the greatest
trouble and has for several days prevent
ed the workmen from entering the drift.
They are engaged in clearing ths caved
ground in the eighth and expect almost
daily to re.establ circulation between
the eighth and sixth which are connect
ed by upraise. When this is done force
of men will be put at work upon the ore
in the two levels, of which there is
great amount ready for mining. With
the sixth, seventh and eighth levels
opened up and operating there will be
little encouragement at the delay that
will necessarily occur in the work in the
ninth, which is the longest level in the
mine and is supposed to be in bad condi-
tion.
In the Newhouse tunnel contractors
are driving the drift ahead and making
a fair footage, though the place is so
wet that the men work under extremely
adverse conditions.
BY February first the mine will be on
the list of big producers.-Idaho Springs

The Value Of Advertising

There is a lesson for every
merchant in the experience TOLD
by a representative of a Chicago
mail order house to a gathering
of newspaper men in Iowa. He
made a remark that merchant
should heed. He says they take
the local paper and direct their
special efforts to communities
where the merchants are not up
to date advertisers. If the NAL
order man finds that any line OF
business in any town or city is
not we'll advertised, as for in
stance furniture, he said that
they flood that territory with
their literature, and always with
satisfactory result. He believed
it true, he said, that country
merchants could greatly cripple
the mail order houses if they
would advertise freely and in
the right manner. He said that
every advertisement should de-
scribe infinitely the articles to be
sold and quote the prices. Here
is food for thought by mer-
chants who fear the effect of
mail order houses. Topeka State
