 Then. too. the scrams give chance to utilize some of the old machinery that | has been lying around Raimund since | PIoreer company days. An old Allison | compressor installed in the regime of l Samuel Thomas still makes good. In | IT ost of the mines on Red mountain the | soft ore is almost all worked out. The | only points where it is now being mined | are at Raimund and at Steinman, where | James Bonneyman is running a good paving little business for the Clinton Ore company
 The boys at Raimund all have an eye for economical management. Nothing goes to waste there. They save, they mend, and they make, and every man of them is worker
 The Forward Outlook

And another thing they aren't working for results lust for today and tomorrow, or next | year, but for 20 years and more ahead. The business of rol]bing the future of for the sake of the present does not go So our men work with the larger view in mind. the forward outlook. They take. pains with what they do. They | keep things ship shape; they are all good around Raimund.
