CHARMING ANNA HELD
 AT ARIZONA TODAY

Anna Held's long heralded motion picture debut becomes an actuality in
 Madame La Presidente," a sumptuous production inrwhich the world famous star is to be presented by the Oliver Morosco Photoplay company on the Paramount Program. A score of noted French actresses have had their in nings at impersonating the volative Madamoiselle GoGette in Paris produc- tions of the three-act Hennequin- Ve- Der classic, but none have ever brought to it quite the same prettiness of faco and figure, or the same adorable never crack smile drollery as the magnetic Anna Held. To see her cooly take pos- session of Judge Galipaux's house, and donning the night-cap of the old-fash- toned wife, waltz around making Imaginable moves of mockery and amusement is to be convinced that Go- bette requires not art, not intelligence not practice-it requires nothing shor,
 of the phenomenal Anna Held per
 sonality. This photoplay will be seer
 at the Arizona theater for days be-
 ginning today.

PREPARING TO RESUME ON
CAPITOL COMPONY'S GROUND

Advertisements have lately appear
ed in some of the mining journals of
the country asking for bids on min
ing machinery for the Capr,Sl Min
ing company, the grouno or which ad-
joins that of the Hidden Treasure on
Deadwood gulch. This would indi-
cate that work is soon to be resumed
on the property, which is in of the
most heavily mineraliZed districts of
the Black Hills, and one from which
a lot of rich ore has been taken. This
property is owned by Lincoln, Neb.,
and Omaha people, and has had
great deal OF development work al
ready done on it. II Is on the phon-
olite belt. and some of the ore taken
from former workings of the proper
ty have proved to carry very good
commercial values. The property is
we'll known to mining men of this
section of the Hills who entertain a
nign opinion or IL ana DelleVe tnat IL
can be developed into a producing
and a paying proposition. 1t is un-
derstood that when work is again re-
sumed on It the mine will be given
good development, for there is
plenty Of money behind those who
will have charge of the new work. and
1t will be in the hands Of experienced
mining men. The Capitol at one time
attracted considerable attention, but
the work of development, for some
reason, was allowed to lapse. How
ever. II is said that when work starts
on the ground this time 1t will be
started to stay.

HE'S BORN AGAIN

The Old World writhes in cruel pain,
With world-old war is tempest
tossed;
The New World strives to turn to
gain
And seize the vantage ground that's
lost
For ages long this seething strife
Has cursed the globe, and men have
sought
Redeemers who might free from life
The hate and greed that stop at
naught
And one who came so long ago,
with Peace on earth, good will
to men"
Cave up mis- life that men might know
In lives OF love He lives again.
o. how the world had need of Him!
And though His light has scatter
ed wide
The world still gropes, but cen so
dim
That light shall still mems foot
steps guide.
And He shall reign and Danish woe
And hate from out the hearts Of
men;
For Christ was born, and this we
know;
In deeds of love He's born again.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT
In ALASKA MINING

The large mining developments
near Juneau, Alaska, have attracted
attention to the northern extension OF
the Juneau gold belt. Though rel
atively little productive mining has
yet been done in that area. some de-
velopments are under way. The re-
gion is heavily timbered and there
fore difficult to prospect. In spite
of the difficulties detailed topograp-
hic and geologic maps of this region
have been made. The maps OF the
geology and mineral resources, In a
report entitled THE Eagle River Re
gion, Southeastern Alaska" by the
United States geological survey.
The recent discovery Of gold plac-
ers on Dime creek, Seward Peninsula.
Alaska, has again attracted attention
to the southeastern part OF the pen
insula. Dime creek is tributary to
Koyuk river, about 40 miles north OF
Norton Bay. 1t lies about $50 miles
east of Nome. The mines of this dis
trict, though operated only in q
small way, produced gold to the value
of over 100000 in 1916.
The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail
road. now under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks Though the
coal of this field is Ignite and hence
of low grade, yet 1t has great value
as a source of fuel and power for
Fairbanks and other Yukon placer
camps. The field is about so miles
south Of Fairbanks. 1t is estimated
by the United States geological sur
vey, department of the interior, that
the Nenana field contains some ten
billion tons of Ignite. The Nenana
coal field lies In what is known as
he Bonnifield region, which also con-
tains some gold placers that have
been mined in a small way for the
last ten years.
An important source of placer gold
IN Alaska is in the Solomon and
region. about 80 miles
east of Nome. In this region dredge
mining has yielded good returns. The
region is part of the great tundra
belt of northern Alaska and is there
tore without timber. In most places
he bedrock is masked by thick mat
of moss or other vegetation which
1as made it difficult to decipher its
intricate geology.

The UNKNOWN

The years have grown as they always
do,
Making a wide twixt me and you;
Though they widen and deepen
dreams
Bring us in reality that which just
seems.
Out OF a strange and unknown land,
from Gods almighty hand;
Whence they come, from what they
are made
Angels only know-then they fade.
out of a land mortals call sleep,
Out of sunderland deep and sweet,
There in this shadowy, misty re-
treat
Can you and l, again, dear, meet.

Dickens and Christmas

To the genius of Charles Dickens
was due the familiar type of Christ
mas story. The pioneer of all Christ
mas numbers was "A Christmas
Carol" Thackeray called that tale
Vt Old Scrooge and Tiny Tim "na-
iional benefit" More than that, "A
christmas Carol" was an information
al benefit, carrying its burden of hap
niness across the Atlantic and dis
'eminating its cheerfulness in every
community in the United States.
Millions of readers have smiled
through their tears in the seventy
hree years that the world has been
the richer and better for having "A
Christmas Carol"
Dickens wrote the story at the end
OF 1S43 to relieve himself OF the
financial embarrassments produced
by his rather lavish Housekeeping.
He was disappointed in the pecuniary
returns. He received less than s4,-
900 from the sale in its original edi-
ton. This is attributed to the very
expensive form in which II was pub
lished. Four other Christmas books
which followed, beginning with THE
Chimes" were much more profitable.
Then in later years the Christmas
numbers OF Household Words, to
which the Christmas Stories" were
contributed. sometimes reached
sale OF 500, 900 copies.
In the end Dickens had little rea-
son to complain of the rewards OF his
efforts in opening up the rich vein OF
Christmas fiction. He was acknowl-
edged the supreme master In that
field. Thackeray published Christ
mas books. but wisely refrained from
attempting anything similar to "A
Christmas Carol" or "The Chimes"
In their own way, however. RE

WITH REGARD TO
"WILDCAT" INVESTORS

A Colorado promoter once publish
ed an article entitled wildcat In
vestors," in response to an experience
which he had had with one OF his
clients. Without regard to the mer-
its of that matter, 1t may be said that
human dispositions average the same
anywhere you go and in all lines of
business. Investing is a business the
same as promoting, and there Is no
reason why the investor should not
study his own disposition, If he ex-
pects the promoter to study his. Pro-
moters may be wrong often enough,
but it hardly seems plausible that,
in controversies with clients, they are
always wrong.
Once upon a time, The Record re-
ceived a letter from preacher In a
small country town. This divine was
loaded UP with lot of mining stock
that he knew to be worthless. He
admitted that his holdings were of
no account. but he wrote to The Rec
ord for advice as to how to realize
upon them. The Record replied that
| If he wished to unload lot of worth
less paper upon anyone less acquaint-
ed with it's worthlessness than him
self, he might meet with success In
offering his stocks to the members
| of his own flock. We do not know
whether he caught the irony of the
suggestion or not
The wildcat investor may be one
who expects something for nothing
makes no effort to determine the
character of his commitment in ad-
vance. and assumes that 1t is wrong
for him to pocket a loss that he is
really entitled to. Much so-called In
dustrial investment is really indus
trial speculation. and prospect mining
does not set itself up as anything
else. A wild cat investor may also be
one who knowingly enters a specu-
lative mining venture, his commit
mems being made In the light of that
notion. If he Is genuine to the core,
he will not accuse the promoter OF
robbing him when the enterprise
turns out according to the assumed
chance of failure. unless he knows
that the promoter took unworthy ad-
vantage of the speculative PROPOSE
ton.
These are things that must not be
forgotten in new mining ventures.
The more disposed the stock buyer is
to assume the responsibilities Of his
corporation. the less disposed will he
be to discover beam In the eye OF
his associates. First cast out the
mote from your own eye. Then you
will see more clearly what troubles
the other fellows optics.-Mining

JOKE ON ATTORNEY GENERAL

Pierre Dakotan: The Winters case
which has been on trial in Yankton
for some days came to an end Mon
day when the jury brought in YER
dict against the state and in favor of
Mr.. Winters. 1t was a case where an
estate was claimed by a resident of
Minnesota, claiming to be half
brother of the man who died in the
Black Hills. The state authorities
contested the case and attempted to
show that hte claimant was not
half-brother of the deceased. The
Press and Dakotan, in speaking of
the termination of the case, said:
"The joke of the winters trial, by
common consent, was when Attorney
General C. c. Caldwell was called to
the stand by Attorney Orvis. and af-
ter a had fifteen minutes he moved
all his own testimony be stricken out
as irrelevant and foreign to the case.
Then with q gracious smile he re-
quested two dollars witness fees"

Lack of Faith


II is difficult to have patience with
those who assume that the prosp ~rily
of this great country is dependent
upon a continuation of the war which
has been devastating Europe and has
spread to a large part of the rest of
the world. Even il 1t be allowed that
the war served as the occasion and to
an extent as the direct cause Of the
prosperity which the country has en-
loved the last two years, 1t belirtles
the country's advantages and oppor-
tunities as well as the spirit OF It's
people TO assume that the country
is dependent upon the war for tts fu-
ture material welfare. There are
many things for the United States 10
do in the world as 1t will be when
peace returns and many things which
II should be done now were IT not
that the demands which the war Gre
ates stand in the way
There are things which need to be
done to tide over the period of change
from war to peace and which the
country should be prepared to do,
but with those things done there is
no reason to fear an end of prosper
ity. Those who fear the end OF the
war must have little faith In Ameri-
ca. and still less faith in a Demo-
cratic administration.

Whatever useful function the
profits on war orders may perform
by way of stimulating production of
needed military supplies there is no
real satisfaction to be had from
profits derived from the production
of agencies of human slaughter. One
may argue that on this occasion the
war supplies are helping the cause
of justice, but that fails to satisfy,
for that is largely matter of acci-
dent. There have been pro-Germans
in this country who, believing Ger
many to be right, strange as that
may seem to any one thoroughly i'm
bued with the American spirit, have
refused to manufacture war supplies
for the Allies. For that they are to
be honored. Also there have been
pro-Germans who have manufactured
munitions to be used against Ger
many, and that shows war trade in
all its sordidness. We have been
glad that the United States has sup
piled to so great an extent the needs
of the Allies. but only because the
cause of the Allies has seemed In
this struggle the cause of humanity.
One may take refuge in the argu-
ment that the individual cannot de-
eide which party to a war is right
and so Is free to arm each against
the other. That is an argument
which may well be left to those who
are satisfied with 1t.

Mines 0n0 Mining
WAS HERE LOOKING UP
A TUNGSTEN PROPOSITION


1. M. Lawrence, one of the old time
mining men and prospectors of the
Black Hills, who has been in the
country since the first of the month,
left for his home at Goldfield. Ne
vada, on the Burlington yesterday.
He left Deadwood and the Hills about
eleven years ago for the purpose of
prospecting in Nevada. and shortly
after his arrival In that state became
interested in property in the vicinity
of Goldfield, where he has resided
ever since. Part of the time he has
been devoting much attention to
mining tungsten ores near the Cali
fornia line and has been very sue
cessful in that direction. While min
ing In the Hills he located bunch
OF ground In the linton district,
which he still owns, and on which
he has kept up the yearly assessment
work. He remembered that on the
ground were evidences of tungsten
bearing ores, and a few months ago
determined to pay visit to his Tin
ton property and do a little prospect
ing. He came, as stated, about the
first OF the month, and since then
he has devoted most of his time in
looking for the deposit of the bright
metal which he knew was on his
ground, and succeeded in finding II.
He has done work enough on 1t to
convince him that il is as good as
anything in Nevada, so In about two
months he will return to the Hills
and give 1t further attention. He
says that he has a splendid showing
OF the bright metal In his linton
ground, and that IL Is his purpose to
give II a good development and to
arrange to ship ore from IT, While
here he met a few OF his old time
friends, but as his stay In the city
was short, there are many that he has
overlooked, and who he intends to
hunt up on his return. He says that
times are good in his section OF Ne
vada, and that there Is much doing in
the mining line and many people are
growing rich there. but believes there
are just as many opportunities in the
Black Hills. and that the country is
as good as Nevada, and that all 1t !
needs is the right kind of advertis-
ing to attract capital for the develop
men OF some of the proposition which
will prove as good as anything that
has been opened up in the sage brush |
state.
