FIND MINE WORTHLESS.
Revelation for Investors in Copper
Company.

Letters have been mailed to 400
stockholders of the Amador Mining
& Development Co. OF Montana, in
forming them that the copper mine
in which they have sunk $4,000 is
worthless as it now stands.
The crash OF the concern, which has
done a thriving business in Chicago,
for five years. was precipitated by an
investigation by the stockholders fol-
lowing an offer by d. +. Mackinnon.
manager, to sell his half interest in
the mine for $15O,0OO,. They sent +.
c. Moore, mining engineer. to Wal
lace. Ida, to investigate, and he re-
ported that the property, is absolute
ly worthless and any further develop
ment would only increase the already
gigantic sum standing on the debit
side of the Amador account" Moor
reported furtherf that 100000 had
been "squandered in the property.
d. E. Mackinnon. the manager, is
believed to be in Maine
The records show that in five years
only five cars of ore have been ship
ped from the mine These FIVE cars
served to boost the price of the
stock, however, from 10 cents TO $3.50.
George A. LII, vice-president and a
heavy loser, says he still believes the
property is good, but that the heavy
expenditures were wasteful and pre-
mature.

AGAINST THE AMERICAN TIP.
Bright Frenchman Take Novel Means
to Overcome Baleful Effect.

Taking its cue from London, the
Paris press has begun campaign
against the American tip, its reckless
ness, its foolishness and its immoral
effect upon servants, both public and
private In counteracting the latter,
however, the Frenchman shows GER
tain ingenuity which the Englishman
lacks
French hosts, instead of calling
their American guests quietly aside
and requesting them not to corrupt
their servants by overlapping, just as
quietly buttonhole their French
guests and say: Remember, you are
to give nothing to my servants. My
American friends. who are privileged
to meet you, will attend to all that
The servants are also informed oil
the new rule and will quietly submit
to it rather than lose their situations
Thus, in France, the problem of the
American tip seems to be solved, un

PRAISE INDIANA FLOUR.
Millers Will Ask Consumers to Use
1t in Preference to Others.

Indiana millers wish 10 join hands
with Indiana housewives in an effort
10 boost Indiana wheat This was de-
cided at the closing session Wednes-
day afternoon, of the Indiana Millers'
Association held at Indianapolis. Sta
tistics were produced which showed
that sc per cent OF the wheat used in
Indiana is used by housewives. The
rest is used by bakers. Therefore the
millers decided that their hope lies
in the support the Indiana housewives
will give flour made from Indiana
wheat.
The millers adopted resolution
extolling the virtues of the native
grain and praising the flour that is
made from it by them. The resolu-
ton follows: There is no flour made
of finer quality than that made from
Indiana wheat 1t is Unsurpassed for
bread-making in It's delicate, bright
color and rich nutritive properties
Wheat is a very large factor in Indi-
ana's prosperity Therefore, we be-
lieve the housewives and bakers OF
Indiana should supply their wants
with Indiana flour. which ministers
abundantly to- their physical well-be-
ing and add to their financial profit
A publicity committee composed oil
T. b. Blish, Seymour; Edgar II
Evans, indianapolis, and David And
erson. Noblesville, was created TO ad-
vertise the merits OF flour made from
Indiana wheat. William Stratton, o.
Indianapolis, was re-elected president
and John Nicholson. also of Indian
apolis, was re-elected secretary.
