No False ModestY.

One of our big assets is our business
reputation and when we make a state
ment regarding the homes we have for
sale we tell everything we know about
them. Absolute integrity never did any
one any harm, and when we tell you
that we have built over $4,000 worth
of homes recently. nice enough for any
one TO live in, in the way they are
built and the number of modern i'm
provements they contain, we mean just
what we say.
The proof OF this lies in the fact that
we are willing to make long time loans
on these houses. We will sell them for
cash. but prefer the time payments,
because that system is mutually bene-
fetal. 1t makes it easy for you if you
have a few hundred dollars, to soon &C
ouire your own home. for every pay
ment you make, which might mean
nothing but rent TO your landlord I'M
der other conditions, applies on the
purchase price. and after you have
completed the payments you have a
home of your WI instead of a moving
day. These new houses are on Ninth
avenue. You can get the keys at ass c
street in order to inspect them. They
are in a superb location, having every
advantage for yourself and your chill
dren. Out of the drainage and out OF
the smoke. and not one of them you
wouldn't be proud to call home.

Mines and Mining Stocks
SNYDER SAYS LEAD
is GOING TO SELL HIGHER

After several weeks in New York, Bos-
ton and other eastern %centers, Willard
F. Snyder, president of the National De-
velopment mpan was at his offices
again yesterday. AS he reads the signs
of the times in the east, the turning point
in inancia affairs was reached about a
week ago and he o for q gradual I'M
provement from now on.
There is one thing which i believe the
lead oduce ought not to grumbie
about said Mr.. Snyder, land that is the
orders they are getting to curtail or cease
production. During my absence was
directly concerned in the manufacture OF
products in which lead plays an important
part and / nave reason to say that what
ever surplus of that metal exists will be
easily absorbed before spring. 1t is con
ceded in we'll posted quarters that the
price can not long remain as low as II Is
today, and if production Is further cur
tailed the price will easily go to &c, as
against 4%c now. in the spring. Pro-
ducers who hold back their ores now Will
then get better prices" =
MI. Snyder said he did not wish to pose
as an expert on national finance and did
not wish to nave his opinions quoted, but
he believed that the situation would be-
gin to clear itself and that the west
would begin to realize that this country
will take some time to restore confidence
and get money loosened up and directed
into trade and investment channel again.
he was ready TO admit; but that 1t would
come around all right he said was just
as sure as il was true that the country S
resources were beyond practical calcula-
ton.

AMERICAN SMELLING CO.
HAS BEEN LOSING MONEY

A Boston message over the Pollock pri-
vate wires quotes the Boston News Blu
reau as follows:
Earnings of the American Smelling G.
Refining company must of necessity have
been greatly reduced since the reduction
in the price of copper from % to L
cents. The treatment of custom ores on
q falling market is always precariOus
and the successful handling of such bust
ness requires great ability as well as
large capital. The company has both,
but stockholders may never be fully in
formed as to the depreciation charges
made necessary by the decline in the
metal market.
1.-The American Smelling & Refining
company, by reason of the money strin-
gency, has largely suspended copper
mining and smelling in both this coun-
try and Mexico. Its copper smelters in
Mexico have been completely shut down.
according to advices from that country.
The reduction at THE FL Paso plant has
been cut to the limit, as is the case
with its Pacific coast plants.
while copper has gone from Is to
u cents, lead has declined from 6 to
AZ cents. and silver has declined from
OA cents to 5S12 cents, and the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company is the
largest producer OF both lead and silver
This reduction in price has seriously af-
fected earnings. not only because of the
losses in smelling operations. but be-
cause mine owners restrict operations on
a low metal market.
"The American Smelling & Refining
company will output nearly 100, 600. OOI
pounds of copper this year. ali of which
is from custom ores. A reduction In
the common stock dividend from s to
6 per cent should therefore not be sur
prising; in fact, unde conditions of the
mining industry and the money market.
a 4 per cent dividend basis. the same as
the Amalgamated, should not be entirely
unexpected"

M'BETH-SWEET STRIKE
IN IDAHO Is PROVING BIG

]. H. Winwood, mining engineer. has
just returned from a two weeks trip into
the Yankee Fork mining district, Idaho,
where he has been examining properties
for clients of his. While in the district ne
took time to inspect the Horse Hill prop
critics of McBeth and Sweet, IN which the
recent sensational gold strikes were made.
There had not been n great deal or
work done when l was at the property"
said Mr.. Wildwood. 1.-The fissure had been
stripped for about forty feet and a hole
had been sunk sixteen feet, this demon
strating beyond question that the ledge
was a fissure and that it was in place.
They were sacking rock that would run
5000 a ton and there was some of it that
would go 10000. if 1t would go a cent.
The gold in this ore is very coarse and
that the ledge from which 1t is being ia
ken is the true source of the placers that
are located on the stream below there is
no longer q doubt For a distance of ten
miles these placers were traced and sam
pied and when the values gave out pros
pecting for the ledge was taken up, and
this work resulted in the discovery of the
lode that is now being operated by Nc
Beth and Sweet. The placers are owned
them extensively, and well they may, for
the sampling of the bars for ten miles
gives an average of thirty cents per cubic
yard for the entire distance.
"Messrs. McBeth and Sweet also w a
cne-third interest in the GROUP of claims
which is an extension Of their Horse Hill
group, and they have a bond on the other
two-thirdS. From the looks of things they
stand TO make a fortune out of this
ground. They are talking Of putting up q
mall stamp mill to separate the coarse
gold from the quartz, after which il will
be retorted and shipped to the mints.
They figure that this will be better than
TO shin the ore TO tie smelters."

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Market Is Unsettled and Prices Are
Gradually Sliding Down.

While there is no question but what ev-
cry good stock listed on the mining ex-
change is now a buy from an investment
standpoint. the fact that prices are grad
ually sagging and that conditions sur
rounding the market are badly unsettled,
it would not be safe to say that low wa
ter mark has been reached. However,
any one that would pick out and buy a
list Of ten or twenty stocks at prevailing
prices and follow il up with additional
purchases if the prices continued down,
mak a barrel of money during the
coming year and, in most instances, he
could draw down big interest in dividends.
Mines that are compelled to educe or
cease production on account OF smelling
exigencies must have the ore or such or
der could not affect them. The ore is
just like gold dollars in the pocket. so the
stocks must, at these prices, be gilt-edged.
During yesterdays two regular and open
board calls a total of $500 shares of
stock. with q selling value of s34. 961

final quotations and record of sales made
