ore is found in stringers but the case
is very rare that stringers make
mines.
The mines of this section are at
the stage where it requires capital
and practical men. 1t is at the point
where capital can invest and reap from
20 to 500 per cent on their invest
ment any year. 1t is a well known
fact that many have reaped reward
for their investments in mining.
Shallow minded people will say min
ing is gamble. So it is; but any
industry will come under the same
heading. Life itself is a gamble. |
have not gone into the geological fea-
lures of this country as it would re-
quire very lengthy article, varying
in character in a miles travel. /
will give a few facts that can be sub
stantiated in regard to few among
thousands that have reaped their re-
ward from small investments.
500 invested in stock of the Calu-
met and Hecla in 1871 is now worth
$65,O0O.
800 invested in Isabelle has re-
ceived in ten years $3.50 in dividends
and is now worth $1,24O.
800 invested in Wolverine in 1898
is now worth $4,000.
500 invested in Homestake is now
worth $4,000.
500 invested in the Twentieth Cen
tury advanced i'm four years to $25,.
600.
800 invested in the Bassic ad-
vanced in thirty days to $1,000.
800 invested in Ell Paso reached
value of $1,000.
500 invested in Portland mine
reached value of $4,000.
800 invested in the independence,
Cripple Creek, 100000.
800 invested in Gold Coin, Cripple
Greek reached $4,000. -,
500 invested in the Granite Noun
tain reached value of 100000.
800 invested in the Utica is worth
over 100000.
There are over 300 mining compa-
MES in the United States today in
any one Of which if you had purchased
900 shares (and they were offered
TO the public at from 5 cents to $15
per share), you would now be in re-
ceirC of an income from dividends of
fion 800 to $4,000 per year
Does mining pay? The richest men
of the world today made their money
in mines. 1t is the cleanest money
on earth as no one has been defrauded
or wronged. According to Poor's Man
ual the railroads of the United States
paid in divedends on stock and bonds
3 per cent; the national bank stock
but per cent; insurance stock 10
per cent; lumber industries, but Ia
per cent; manufacturing industries
less than 20 per cent, while mining
paid 200 per cent Which do you
prefer? would be very glad to
outline to our home people how to pro-
ceed to increase the population of
Durango and will go in detail how it
can be done with any one. If you
can't boost don't knock.

TO the FARMERS and Business
Men of louisiana:
Are you going to raise cotton or
boil weevile Are you going to gam
bic OH the making of 1913 cotton
CROP Or are you going to put forth
every effort to make good and
profitable yield? Get to work and
save the crop. Delay means dis
aster.
The boil weevil infestation is
general all over the State and
heavier than since 1910. The degree
of the infestation varies from
field to field and from parish to
parish. bnt is heavy enough to be
serious in every cotton community
in the State.
The only safe and sure way to
make cotton crop under boil
wcevil conditions is TO make per
sistent fight on the wecvil. A
faithful fight made on the weevil
will guarantee a good crop with
good weather for the next SIX
weeks; and with a wet July, fair
crop can be made. But, it no ct
fort is made to keep down the
weevil infestation now, a rainy
| Julv means disaster to the cotton
crop.
The weevil fight is simple and
inexpensive. Most of the cotton
:, is too late now to pick the adult
I weevil from the stalks.
The fight from now on must bt
concentrated OH the punctured
SQUARES. To be successful, this
must be commenced when the cot
f ton begins to square. Every field
c that has weevil should be gon'
& over carefully once a week, an'
every punctured square picked III
T and burned. Heavily infested
C spots should be marked and picke'
a over twice week. The who'll
). fight hinges on this point: Il
:, keep the short lived over wintere'
weevil from raising brood. Tr
e to keep every punctured squar
/ from Matching a young weevil
st Farmers who have failed have III
~ varibly started the fight too late
This method of fighting the weev
has been proved successful beyon
;s the shadow of doubt by thou'
ts sands of the best farmers i'll tn
!. State.
-, If the fight is started when til
i first squares are punctured, 1t
i, fast and inexpensive work as thei
;s are few squares to pick up. tt
!, labor that hoes the crop can kee
~ the squares picked up if this
- done from the start.
~ The punctured squares shou
n. be kept picked up for five or s.
70 weeks or longer according to CO..
r. ditions. In rainy spells, it

Louisiana has enough cote
planted and growing this year
x make 500, 900 bales. With a nc

AMAZONS FIGHT
FOR EMMELINE

LONDON, Nov. 29.-In a fighting
speech delivered at the weekly meet
ing today of the Woman's Social and
Political Union, Mrs. Dacre-Fox warn
ed the government that if the police
attempt to arrest Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst when she lands in Eng
land on her arrival from the United
States they will have their hands
full" The arrest of the militant
leader, the speaker declared, would
not be allowed.
"a bodyguard has already been
formed for Mrs Pankhurst,' she said,
with General Mrs. Flora Drummond
at it's head. Its force will be suffi-
cient to oppose effectively any physi-
cal violence attempted by the police.
If bludgeons are used, the bodyguard
will have means to defeat itself"
