w tulCSudN llSll iaSt at "ShNNh, "' 9 o'clock, the healthiest infant that Mineral valley has ever proudly call ed its own. Name, Mineral Valley Commercial Club; weight about 200 English pounds or the equivalent of nearly Sl GOO dollars in United States l money. with a healthy growth assur- ed as time goes by.
 Nearly hundred representative citizens of Wendcn and Salome and the nearby tributary mining districts, mining men, mine owners and pros pectors, business men and ra1chers are the foster parents and claim an interest in the offspring. The object of the club is the advertisement of the mining. farming and other resources of Mineral valley, the Harqua Hala, Harcuvar and other adjacent noun tain ranges containing a wealth ot gold, silver, copper and other useful and valuable minerals and metals, To- cally famous but little known as yet to the outside world, except through
 the occasional advertisement given the district from time to time by the well known Harqua Hala or old Bon anza mine, the famous Glory Hole and the shipping properties of Gun ningham Pass. There are many other partially developed properties and prospects in the neignborhood which are nearly or equally as good, pos sibly better, and all tributary to Wen den or Salome, and it is the intention of the Commercial Club to put Min eral valley on the map" and let the
 outside world know little more about its remarkable resources and the opportunities existing for legiti- mate and profitable investments.
 f An illustrated 24-pagc folder will
 be gotten out immediately, or as soon
 as the necessary data can be arrang-
 ed, the first edition to be 10000 or X more, followed up by newspaper and l other advertising to attract attention
 to the district-and once attention Is
 attracted the mineral showings arc
 depended upon to do the rest.
 The idea of a general publicity
 movement was first brought up some : time ago and received the approval D of everyone from the start. A large
