CAPITAL MAKES PROFIT
 ON LOW GRADE ORE

Running a 24O-stamp mill for 80 l-4 days, and a SOO-stamp mill tor l9 days, the Alaska-Treadwell Company iu March crushed 64,l2O tons Of ore. The total yield of gold was Sl6O,O00. or less than S2.50 per ton. The net profit was S64,0O0 practically Sl per ton. How many false hopes have been nurtured, and how many glittering prospectuses based upon the Alaska-Treadwell'
 Several correspondents have asked us questions about this famous mine To satisfy their legitimate curiosity. and to refresh the mem ury Of others. We may repeat that AIaska-Treadwell mine is situated on Douglas Island, opposite Juneau, Alaska. The present company, whose capitalization is S5,OOO,OOO, was organized in 1890, since when regular dividends have been paid.
 The ore bodies are irregular and enormous The average gold con- tent runs from about $2.15 to SS.15 per ton. and the total cost Of eN- traction rarely exceeds S1.55 per ton About 775,OOO tons are milled during the year. The ore reserves in 1911 exceeded $500, 900 tons.

DIRECTORS FAIL TO
SELECT SECRETARY
Three Applications For Sec
rotary of Chamber of
Commerce Considered.

A successor to Charles Kline, who
resigned two weeks ago as secretary of
the chamber of commerce, was dis
cussed at the meeting of the board Of
directors Friday afternoon, but they
did not come to any decision on the
matter, other than to meet Aug. 81,
when they will either name a new sec
rotary in Mr.. Kinne's place or else
take over and run the office themselves
until a secretary is named Three ap-
pl1catiOns were received for the place
and were those of Robert Page, @.
Sadler, of the FL Paso & Southwestern
railroad, and J. E. Surratt of Okla
homa- President Walter Clayton took
the applications in charge.
W. 7. HiXSOn, one of the directors,
put forth the name Of traffic manager
A Reeves as a successor to Mr.. Kline
and the plan of the consolidation of
the offices of secretary of the chamber
of commerce and that of traffic man
ager- The directors, mainly because
OF not having quorum present, decid-
ed to lay the matter over until Aug.
81, when they will take over the office,
when Mr.. Kinne's resignation goes
into effect, or perhaps appoint Mr..
Reeves as temporary secretary.
H c. Lockwood, formerly known in
FL Paso, has communicated with the
chamber of commerce asking to be al
lowed to assist in the formation Of the
Southwestern Jubilee entertainment.
The directors ordered that he be
thanked but will not accept his assist
ance.
President Walter Clayton, W. T.
Hixson, julius Krakaurer, Crawford
Harvey were present at the meeting.

and weather necessary for bleaching.
Our winters are short and mild and the
expense of heating the building would
be slight. Then, too. one of the most
important things of all. we have all
the labor required, and could soon sup
ply the labor necessary for several
mills
Some Pointed Reasoning.
If New England and the southeastern
states can ship cotton to themselves
manufacture il and ship it over our
railroads, through FL Paso, to the PACT
ftc coast to be loaded aboard ships for
the Oriental markets, where the great
er part If not. all, Of that exported
manufactured products go, why could
not mill be located in FL Paso and be
made to pay?
There is no question but what the
business is a profitable one. South
Carolina, my former home. one of the
smallest Of the southern states. is now
the third cotton manufacturing state
in the United States. She does not, by
long odds. raise as much cotton as she
manufactures and has to look to other
states for cotton. She has no coal
fields and has to ship her coal from
Virginia and Alabama In and around
one city in that state. a city OF less
than $4,000 population. there is now in
vested in cotton mills more than 20
million Of dollars. and more mills in

that with the improvements noted,
calls for railroad connections that are
sure TO come. The immense amount
of products from the opposite side of
the river taken in with this side will
make a road a paying proposition from
the start, not taking into considera-
ton the cattle and other interests.
A splendid opportunity is believed
open here for a waterworks system.
Excellent water can be obtained by
drilling or digging less than
100 feet only three miles from
town. There is not resi-
dent or land owner who would not be
a patron. Also it is believed a splendid
opening exists for an alfalfa mill or
feed grinding mill, as the alfalfa,
maize and cotton seed are all here on
the ground and many cattle, nearby
to feed it to. Opportunities to invest
in lands, either virgin or in cultiva-
ton, were never so good as now. No
losses can be incurred at present
prices and probably no better lands
lie out doors.
Sunshine, water and good land,
coupled with good health, ambition
and industry are the elements that
make success on the farm; Grandfalls
has the first four.
