THE COUNTRY WEEKLY
IS GROWING BETTER

The latest newspaper statistics
show that there are 14S publications
less in the United States today thar
there were last year at this time
These statistics also claim that
the greatest mortality among publ
cations has been in the field Of
the weeklies.
Some may construe this as an II
omen and assert that the day OF
the country weekly has passed. Oh
course such statement is absurd
on the face Of it, as the number
Of healthy and wealthy country
weeklies now fiourishing will testify
without further argument.
What the figures do show, how
ever, is that the newspaper which
is conducted without good business
methods cannot thrive. Methods
and adherence to strict business
principles are the foundation stones
upon which success is built in every
business nowadays, and this applies
to the newspaper business more than
to any other.
Furthermore, the decrease in the
quantity of weeklies published
means that "any old thing" won't
do. Quality is what is desired, no
quantity. And if there are fewer
weeklies Of the kind that are slip
shod so much the better for those
that are conducted in the right way.
The country weekly will never
die. 1t has its well appointed place
in the affairs Of the American
people. On the contrary, the coun-
try weekly, particularly the all
home print country weekly, is grow
ing greater in the estimation OF
newspaper readers from day to day.
It is the chaff that is falling by the
wayside. American Press.

OF course we are all subject to
certain lapses of memory, but
that is one subject close to hearts
which should never be lost sight Of
for one single moment. That is
good roads-better roads for this
community. Think it over-talk it
over-push it along with every
breath of life; We want better
country roads.

COPPER BASIN MINE IS
 MAKING GOOD
ARIZONA PORTLAND HAS HIT 30-INCH ORE BODY IN NEW SHAFT, CARRY ING GRAY COPPER.

Shaft sinking by the Arizona-Port- land Mines Co.,, in Copper Basin, has proven an attractive ore condition at depth of 70 feet, and sample; brought to the city yesterday by Man ager O. w. Blickenstaff substantiate reports made by him of determina- tions being out of the ordinary. The product carries gray copper, as well is copper glance shown, the full 21A- foot ore body averaging at least 10 per cent in the red metal. Mir. Blck- enstaff states tha. this discovery was made in a central claim of the group, and not in the zones where churr drilling had been given, the new loca ton being selected from surface indi- cations, which are now verified as warranting practical mining.
 The shaft will be continued to depth, and from the initial showing 1t is his belief the vein will continue to widen as sinking continues. There is rot the slightest indication of chal- co-pyrite ore coming in, as his pre- vailed at other properties, and the unusual geological condition deter mined is naturally occasioning very much comment among those who own properties in that belt, as freak oc- ourrence, but nevertheless of very much importance. The above hold- ings are situated to the south of and adioin the Commercial, on which de- velopment was started in an earnest manner only a short time ago.
