REASONS FOR TRADING AT HOME

The Omaha Trade Exhibit recently
compiled the following good reasons
why people should trade with their
home merchants. What applies to
Omaha applies to Hot Springs. but
with greater force.
Here are ten good reasons:
J.. Your home merchants can du-
plicate the prices made by any re-
sponsible concern anywhere on goods
of equal quality, in the same uuanti-
ties and on the same basis of delivery
and payment.
z. You a examine your purchas-
es in the home stores and be assured
of satisfaction before investing your
money.
B. Your home merchants are al
ways willing and ready to make right
any error and any defective articles
purchased.
4. Your home merchants help sup
port, through direct and indirect tax
alton, your schools, churches, libra
ries and other public institutions.
5. Your home merchants help to
make a good local market for every
thing you have to sell, and that mar.
ket-more than any other one factor
gives your land it's present value.
6. Your home merchants are your
good friends, ever ready to extend
a helping hand in time of need.
Z. II this community is good
enough for you o live in and make
your money in, it is good enough to
spend it in.
y. The best citizens in this com.
munity are those who believe in and
practice home patronage. Be one of
the best,
3. The merchants in the distant
city give you nothing valuable that
home merchants cannot give YOU
and the former cannot and will not
do for you many things the latter
do gladly.
10. Every dollar kept in circulation
in this community helps increase
property values. Every dollar sent
out OF this community that could as
well be spent here binders the wheels
of progress and helps build up some
other community at your expense.

the thirty acres the street car com

purpose. On the Aldrich land is a

NEW COMPANY MAY TAKE
OVER MINE NEAR NINA

NINA, New. Nov. 26.-Advices form
Chicago are in effect that people with
extensive financial backing are negot-
ating for the purchase of the control
ling interest in the holdings of the
Silver Summit Mining company. In
the event that the deal is consum-
mated operations win be resumed in
the near future. The estate of the
company is located about seven miles
west of Nina and consists of quite an
acreage of highly mineralized ground.
A great deal of work was done on
the property about three years ago
and valuable ore was uncovered, but
owing to bad management the prop
erty became entangled in debt. Should
the present plans be carried out it will
mean much to the mining industry of
Nina, as the mine is near this place
and sufficient work in the past has
been done and high grade uncovered
to demonstrate that with efficient man
agement and thorough development the
property can be made big producer.

FAMOUS MONTGOMERY
SHOSH0NE PLAYS OUT
Ore Becomes Too Low for Profit
able Handling Manage
ment Shuts Down

Tho Montgomery -Shoshone mine at
Rhyolite, New, sold some five years
ago to interests represented by Charles
M. Schwab, then head of the United
States Steel corporation, for a price
which made "A millionaire of q. a.
Montgomery, president of the Sierra
Madre club and one of the most
widely known mining men of the west,
has been closed down and ii is doubt
full if it will ever be reopened by the
present owners.
DR.. NJ. X. Ward, brother-in-law OF
Mr. Schwab, passed THROUGH Los An
geles enroute to RhyOlite early Tues
day morning. He was met by. John
G. Kirchen, general manager, and after
visiting the mill and mine gave the
orders which conclude a chapter in the
history of one of the most celebrated
mines in the more recent history OF Ne
Vada.
According to DIR. Ward, the mine
showed an actual loss during the sum-
mer months and made but few pal
try hundred dollars in August. AT the
recent stockholders meeting Mr.. XIII
chen presented the actual facts and
expressed the opinion that the ore now
in sight was of tn low grade to be
mined and miled with profit. 1t was
Ioped, however, that the diamond drill
operations would show up better ore
an additional fund of $4,000 in order
that this work might be prosecuted.
After spending $4,000 Of til avail
able SUI, Mr.. I&irchen notified the
management that it would be useless
to spend the balance and again urged
the abandonment of the mine AS
result DR.. Ward was dispatched west
to represent the company and after
confirming the opinion of Mr.. Kirchen
the necessary orders were given.
While the blow is a heavy one to
Rhyolite and the entire southern por-
ton of Nevada, it had been thoroughly
discounted during the past few
months. It was known that things
were not looking particularly bright
and the last annual statement showed
that the company was still indebted to
Mr.. Schwab in a sum considerably
over 100000.
The MONTGOMERY -ShOshone was the
last hope of the Schwab interests in
the mining fields of Nevada Some
years ago many hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars We're lost at Green
water, Just across the line in Califor-
MIA and at the time the boom burst
Mr.. Schwab made some caustic re-
marks concerning associates who had
recommended the purchase of prop
erty in that district
Soon after a clean sweep was made
of those who had previously advised
him and Mr.. Kirchen was placed in
charge of the Montgomery-Sh -Shoshone.
He instituted many needed improve
ments in the mill and is generally be-
lieved to have accomplished more than
was at one time thought possible in
the way of extraction.
The ore bodies did not develop up to
expectations, however. and so nothing
was left but to close down for good.

tension of the Coast Oil Transport

Santa Maria field is being promoted
by the Palmer Oil company 1t is the
cooperation of neghboring operators
in cat canyon TO pool their interests
in securing this extension and thereby

owing to the fact that several Cat
canyon wells have lately joined the
ranks of producers, it looks as if this
proposition would be faVorably re-
ceived.
The Brooks, Union, Dome and New

The Atlanta Oil company, which is

able report upon it by w H. Aubury
Of the California State Mining bureau.
He says in part:
"I am of the opinion that a strip
along the axis of Sulphur Mountain,
of a width of approximately three
fourths of a mile, will be productive.
THAT the oil will be 20 degrees
Beaume or lighter, except near the
edges of the strip.
THAT the wells along the margins
of the strip will produce at from 1900
to 1900 feet, but will be small pro-
ducers,
THAT the best production and the
lightest oil will be found along the
axis of the syncline, at depth of from
2OO0 to 5000 feet.
"That the oil will be produced from
shale rather than from sand"
