HIGH GRADE
SILVER STRIKE
New Find 50 Miles Northeast Of
Vegas Looks Big to Those
Best Informed.

Christmas eve, the news of phe-
nomenal strike of silver ore began to be
noised about Vegas. On account of the
ioIlifcaton incident to the Christmas
season not much Importance was at first
attached to the report. However, the
showing of samples of high grade and
the returns from Salt Lake City OF as
says running very high confirmed this
suspicion that what may prove another
rich mining camp has been discovered.
Discovery was made by Crayton john
son and James McQuaid. They sent
samples to Salt Lake City for assay and
the certificates have been returned by
Carleson showing 1905 ounces, and 1868
ounces of silver respectively.
The formation is said to resemble that
OF the famous Silver Reef property in
Utah. 1t is described as lying between
line of massive sandstone hills on one
side, and range of limestone noun
tains on the other, and being we'll de-
fined (as to formation) for distance of
nearly II miles, all of which distance is
now said to be located. The high grade
ore, from few inches to foot or more
vide where discovered, is said to lie
next to porphyry, and in addition to
silver values, pans free gold.
Among the first locators are CraYton
Johnson and James McQuaid. Tom J.
Main, Joe F. Perkins, Wilford Cox,
formerly OF Searchight, and Col. Greg
ory are also said to be among those
having valuable claims.
Col. Gregory, who is said to be
mining engineer of ripe experience,
gives the following account OF the con-
ditions:
"The formation is sandstone dyke

From all indications it is another Silver

have been no business failures of any

"Cat.' Houses Buy Cheap Goods.

From the Michigan Artisan we quote
an article which shows how mail order
houses are able to buy merchandise
cheaply:
"That is what we are up against all
the time" said one of the old-time man
ufacturers of Indiana to a newspaper
man, as he YEARLY leaned back in his
chair, handing over a letter for him to
read. 1t was from a large catalogue
house, and stated that the company
wanted to make a deal with the manu-
facturer for certain goods. There was
a tabulated statement of the number
of pieces, how many the company could
use to a month, and the amount they
would pay. Remember, no questions
were asked for a bid, or how much the
stuff would cost. Simply a statement
of how much they would pay.
The manufacturer said the concern
had been using "a competitor stuff, but
wanted to make a change. The con-
tract, if made at the price named, would
amount to about $4,000 a month.
With the letter was one of the COM
pany's catalogues, showing Illustrations
of the pieces, or alleged Illustrations
the kind that are chopped out of a
piece of wood with an axe, so that no
customer can absolutely tell whether
he gets what he pays for or not.
81 have figured out three separate
pieces" said the manufacturer when
the writer had read the letter, "and I
find that each of the three would cost
me from rs cents to one dollar more to
make them than the prices offered, with
not one cent for profit. The only way
I could possibly do it would be to lay
off my ~ experienced workmen and
go into the streets and pick up any old
laborer who would work for any old
price; dip these goods in dump varnish
instead of finishing them, and turn out
a class of goods that would ruin my
business forever with reputable dealers.
Yet this is the kind of stuff which other
mail order houses are furnishing their
customers. III not do it," and a reply
was sen accordingly.
The retailer gets an insight here of
the catalogue houses maneuvering in
buying, and the kind of stuff that they
sell. The quality is of less Importance
to them than the price. 1t is certain
that any manufacturer up in his bust
ness will not produce goods for less
than cost, and if the price is low the
goods are made up accordingly. They
may be snowy, but they lack the right
construction and finish.
