ANTHONY MINE
DISCOVERED At
PORT WELLS

Our former townsman, Capt. c. l..
Peabody, has traced a vein ledge OF
anthony at Port Wells for distance
of three thousand feet, the vein vary
ing from there to twelve inches with
the ore body gradually gaining in size
with depth. Numerous open cuts
have been made to demonstrate that
the ledge is in place and miners will
be kept developing the property with
view of putting mill on the ground
for the reduction of the ore.

BIG STRIKE OF
ANTHONY IN
THE N|z|NA

NJ. F. Rowland the original discov-
erer of the Nizina placer gold fields,
has just returned from that section
where he staked large ledge of anti
mony. This metal was discovered fif-
teen years ago, but its commercial
value was not known at that time,
but since market has been establish
ed for anthony the uncovering of a
body of this ore is of considerable
Importance.
Mr.. Rowland brought samples of the
anthony to Cordova and will leave on
the steamer Northwestern for the
states where he expects to interest
capial in his latest find. He thinks
that he has one of the largest de-
posits of anthony to be found any
where. There is a four foot solid
ledge of anthony and also forty feet
containing a stringer of from two to
four inches wide in a zone of porphy.
This ore runs so per cent in anti
mony and Mr.. Rowland, who is a
practical miner and thoroughly un.
derstands the game, is taking to the
states a large quantity of samples and
If the assay value is anything near
what he thinks it is he has one of the
biggest and best propositions in this
section.

Checking Up
Advertising

No firm thinks of buying gross OF
lead pencils without having clerk
check up to see that IL dozen lead
pencils have been received and IL
dozen lead pencils of ordinary quail
ty cost about s.; but that same firm
may spend s100, 900 in advertising and
never actually know whether it re-
ceived the circulation it bargained
for or not, because it does not have
it checked up or verified by reliable
auditing concern.
There is another point about lead pencil
buying and advertising buying that de-
serves equal attention, and that is prob
ably Just as much neglected. Assuming
that the buyer gets as much as he pays
for it? Lead pencils that break as fast
as they are sharpened would be dear at
dollar a gross; advertising that doesn't
reach the right people and induce them
to buy costs too much at next to nothing
per thousand Of circulation.
