HOW TO INCREASE BUSINESS.

You cannot look about you on the street without seeing people who have money in their pockets which ought to be in your cash drawer, or to your credit in bank. You cannot look about you in your store or shop without see. ing goods that these same people should owu-should now be using.
 These facts hold good-eyen if you have been doing good business late ly. They are the sort of facts which make store-keeping the most interest. ing business in the world-the most tantalizing one, too.
 You cant go out on the streets per sonally and take these people by the hands and lead them into your store. But you can go to them yicariously You can make your newspaper adver. Using your proxy You can make it say Co them all that is in your mind all that you could possibly say if you had their undivided attention for all hour. And you can make what you say to them interesting-so fraught with purse-importance to them-thal they will read eagerly.
 Your advertising does this. to som, great or small extent. of course. IL falls short of it's fullest appeal if it is not as full of enthusiasm as you are. It is only half good enough if it is only half big euough.or if it appears only half often enough. And. in adyertis ing, as in the matter of coat or a dlnner-it it is only half big enough, or half frequent enough. it leaves a good deal to be desired.
 This newspaper can cooperate with you to the fullest in realizing the tan. talizing possibilities of store-keeping only if you take the completest advan- tage of 1t as a means of influencing fits people" in your store.

A MODERN SCHOOL

My little boy is s years old, He roes to school each day; He doesn't mind the tasks they SC They seem to him but play He heads his class at raflia work, And also takes the lead At making dinky paper boats But wish that he could read They teach him physiology.
 And, oh. it chills our hearts To hear our prattIing innocent Mix up his inward parts. He also learns astronomy.
 And names the stars by night Of course he's very up to date But I wish that he could write They teach him things botanical They teach him how To draw. He babbles of mythology,
 And gravitations law. The discoveries of science
 To him are quite a fad; They tell me he's a clever boy  But I wish that he could add

TENS; there being contacts OF rhyohte

rhyolite and basalt, and quartzite, por-
phyry and basalt. 1t has been the ex-
perience of the News representative,
after months careful work and study
of the district, extensive sampling anu
testing, that the formations on the
main vein system around the district
are practically identical, and that al
most everywhere that samples are taken
from the brecciated rhyolire outcrops In
place, small values in gold are found.
This statement is borne out by men who
have been working over the district for
the past four years, this very fact being
what held them to their claims, and
finally resulting in new bonanza
camp in the desert. The volcanic origin
of the district is indisputable, and that
Pioneer was central eruptive point IS
evidenced by the abundant proof Oh
enormous eruptive and hydro-thermal
action throughout the entire district.

Wherever there are big, paying mines,
there will be a strong permanent MN
ing camp. or town. One mine some
times makes town. That mine is at
Pioneer Mayhower. Two mines
make bigger town. In the properties
of the Pioneer Mining company another
big mine has been proved. More than
two big mines will make a big camp,
and in this connection we believe that
big mines will be developed on the
Savage group, on the Valley View
group, on the Puritan group, ON the
Mayfiower North Extension group, on
the Pioneer Extension group, on the
Aurora Bullfrog properties, on the Sier-
ra Oro properties, on the Los Angeles

summer comes those who live IN Pio-
neer may have water piped into their
homes. Three miles away is the val
lev of the Amargosa river, from the
ranches of which come fresh meats,
vegetables, poultry, butter and eggs
Fuel, alone, is not close-but there is
the railway, which brings wood, coal,
oil. Bearing all these facts in mind, We
do not hesitate in expressing the belief
that Pioneer today offers the most
promising and safest field for remunera-
tive investment of any section of Ne
vada-the investor has a chance to be
in at the making of a big, rich, mining
camp. And such has been the financial
stringency; so close run have been many
of these men who have held onto their
holdings here through the long, lean
years, that the man who comes in right
now, with ready money, and invests IT
will find his faith met with due ap-
probation by the men who are working
to develop real mines 1t is working

be placed from the pioneer section, but
as means to enable mining operations
to proceed-Dot as source OF revenue
which will obviate the necessity MOI
, destroy the desire for real mining.
