 Silent Salesmanship-Advertising- will play a more prominent part in the big successes of 1910 tsan ever be- ! fore.
 Forcible Silent Salesmanship. which i5 advertising in newspapers. backed up by equally forcible personal sales manship. will determine the varying degrees of success aspired to by mar ufacturers in the coming year. Concerns that have products which the people want at a fair price will nave a banner year between now and the beginning of 1917. # the quality of their advertising is such as to com pare with that of Goodrich and Dia- mond tires. Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes, Athena underwear. Royal typewriter>. Welch's, the national drink. Snider's catsup. Keen Kutter tools and hardware, and Haynes. Hud- son. Chalmers, Cadillac. Studebakcr, Overland, Dodge and Hupmobile cars
 The heads of big business organiza- tons are taking advertising more seriously than they nave in the past They are using it in a bigger. better and broader way than formerly to dovetail and support the work of their salesmen.
 Silent Salesmanship is no longer a gamble. It is a part of organized sales effort It stabilizes and stand, ardizes business, and you will find that advertised products will reach the pinnacle in sales during l9l6.
 The newspapers will be the largest gathers in volume of advertising dur ing the coming year. They are rais- ing their standards, and giving better service and cooperation to the adver- tiser and the consumer. Hence they are being rewarded by the receipt of bigger and better patronage from the advertiser.
 Newspaper advertising is by far the most effective. as well as the most in expensive, form of Silent Salesman ship.
 So, with people throughout the country having plenty to do, and with the practical elimination of cheap for eign labor and foreign competition in manufacturing. the year 1916 bios sons forth with fairer promise of good times than any year since 1901.

(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Arriving yesterday from the Prince Albert camp on Groom creek, Mark Bradley. superintendent. gave brief review of development accomplished to date, over which he is decidedly well pleased, and stated that it is practically established the property has a future that will place it in line I as heavy producer.
 During the past two months the main shaft has been driven to a depth of l25 feet, and drifting has started from the 10O-foot level. The vein matter is l2 feet between walls. and the drift is in a solid ore body. with out an ounce Of waste being en- countered. The ore is gold and silver. and assays show a good milling grade. Development will continue along the level. for the present, to es- tablsh the strength of the shoot, and from present indications it is assured a fine property is being determined.
 The belt on which is situated the Prince Albert is virgin, so far as oper- ations are to be considered, and was taken over by an Eastern syndicate last fall, surface conditions being at tractive This mine also is situated i1 zone of that mineral field that had never been operated, and from the large ore body cut into. it is now the belief the mother lode Of the district las been tapped. It is probable that reduction plant will be the next move for this property.
