To Stock Holders Silver
Pick Consolidate d
Mining and Leasing
Co.

(From Moere's Market Letter Of No
vember 7th9
At the time I took up this lease
everybody regarded Silver Pick as an
other Mohawk and leases were selling
at a premium Since then eighteen
shafts have been put down on the
property and not one has found ship
ping ore in quantity, and while We
had as good as any. or better show
ing than many Of the others. and after
spending over $4,000 in development,
would not advise the spending of an
other cent on the property, and there
fore abandoned the lease. 1 have had TO.
await time and opportunity before do
ing anything for the company. How
ever, the time has come and / have
done 1T. BY giving a large block of
my own stock 1 have, secured and
there has been decided to the COM
pany eight claims located in the Gold
field district. In addition to this 1
have taken up lease on the Silver
King mine, located at Hornsilver. This
lease runs for two years, beginning De-
cember 1st and already has a shaft
over one hundred feet deep, and over
one hundred feet of drifting done. from
which several tons of shipping ore has
already been taken out-the former
leasers left off in shipping ore. The
people who had this lease failed to
comply with the terms of the lease and
was fortunate enough to get it. and
have turned it over to Silver Pick Con-
solidated NJ & l.. Co. WHAT YOU
-LOST was a lease which proved of
doubtful value on Silver Pick. WHAT
YOU GAINED is a lease on Silver King
on which considerable work has al
ready been done. and from which ship
ping ore has been taken: also eight
claims in Goldfeld. Now have done
the fair thing by you. 1t Is no more
than right that you should help me out.
In order to continue the work i
have got to sell some stock, which
am now offering you at TEN CENTS
A SHARE. This gives you a chance
to average up your stock and a
mighty good chance for big profit APP
plication will be made for the listing
of the stock just as soon as we are
In shape to make showing in the
way of ore production. 1T is greatly
to your advantage to help in this mat
ter. You may depend upon 1T that L
will use my best efforts to make It a.
success. The new president OF the
company. John T. Murphy. is one
sixth owner in the Great Western
mine, the big shipper OF Hornsilver
If every officer of a mining company
would do as much to protect the stock
holders of his company as l have for
Silver Pick Consolidated NJ & L. Co.
there would be less failures in the min
ing business and many more success

UNDULY ALARMED

Democrats in various parts of the
state just now appear to be very much
worried over the fight which is now
going on between Tom l.. Johnson, of
Cleveland, and Chairman Harvey
CARRIER, of Columbus The cause for
fear lies in their view that nothing
should be allowed to come between
the party and the victory which
seems most certain next fall. They
'argue that the Democratic party was
never more united than 1t Is at the
present time and the Republicans
were never so hopelessly divided.
Taking these two well known facts
as basis it is argued that nothing
should be allowed to disrupt the party
and bring about that discord which
will terminate in the defeat of Demo-
cratic principles and Democratic can
didates.
This contest between Johnson and
CARRIER has been going on for some
weeks and as yet no serious rent has
occurred in the Democratic garment.
The fight has been largely between
the two men and a few of their most
intimate friends. Mayor Johnson has
made the accusations against CARRIER,
CARRIER has answered them and a few
friends have taken the matter up.
The fight IS not one in which the
rank and file of the party is inter-
ested to the extent that there is SER
ious danger of the party being split.
Democratic principles have become
so firm and the people have become
SO thoroughly grounded in them that
they are sure to be uppermost
Neither Harvey CARRIER nor Mayor
johnson Is large enough to disrupt
the party with a fight which involves
only their personal matters and per-
sonal political ambitions.
AS nearly as we are given to see
the situation, the present organization
sought to unseat Mayor Johnson from
the national committee and in doing
this II stirred up a hornets nest and
woGld now be very much pleased TO
see compromise. Mayor Tom John
son has proven a very valuable man
upon the National committee. He
comes nearer than any other being
Mark Hanna for the Democracy of the
nation. He has done much for the
Democracy Of Ohio in holding the fort
in Cleveland, it being well recognized
that had it not been for Mayor John
son, Theodore Burton would today be
mayor of the Forest City. He has
done much for the people of Ohio, Ohio
cities and cities of other states. He
was the father OF the two-cent fare
law and the three cent street car fare
He started the crusade
against the acceptance of passes by
the legislators and other state and
county officials. For these and many
other things the people have Tom
Johnson TO thank.
He comes asking for no office at
the hands of the people. All he seeks
is membership on the National COM
mittee. and in order to accomplish
his desire he finds 1t necessary to un-
horse the chairman of the present ex-
ecutive committee. Johnson and
CARRIER are trying their steel. 1t is
their fight. The rank and file in the
Democratic party does not need 10
become involved TO the point of dis

THE MAN AND HIS JOB
(By Herbert j. Hapgood.)


Recently the Chicago Assoeia-
ton of Commerce set out letters
to 6lG business firms with
view of obtaining the exact state
of the employment market. A year
ago these business houses employ
ed $500 persons, but the statistics
thus gathered show that today they
are employing only $4,000 persons.
This is a decrease of less than IL
per cent.
These figures are important in
that they dispel the idea, which
stubbomly sticks in the minds of
a few pessimlstic ones. Strange to
say, in spite of reassuring state
ments and efforts to restore confid-
ence there are still some calamity
hOwlers who will not believe in the
bright side. These people persist
In spreading rumors that over 50
per cent, Of the working popula-
ton are unemployed. The Chicago
statistics certainly ought to drive
such statements to the wall.
Furthermore the GIG firms state
that they would take on 1920
additional hands inside of sixty
days and President Fargon of the
Association says that data col
lected from all branches OF indus
try indicates that by the first Of
March only 7 per cent of the resi-
dent working population of Chi
caIgo viii be Idle.
ms Is good news indeed and
IS sure to put the panic takers to
route,
