REPRINT ON HOW
 TO SELL A MINE

The following is reprinted from the Engineering and Mining Journal of August 29, 1908. The intense activity in the mining business at present, with the attendant feverish offering of min ing properties, makes the article par ticularly apropos; although written eight years ago, there is nothing new to be said on the subject and this arti- cle tells the whole story now as it did then:
 'We might perhaps entitle this arti- cle How to Sell a Mine, and How to Finance Development Expense We receive many inquiries of this charac- ter, which we are obliged to answer, as we feel, in an unsatisfactory man ner, but we do our best to aid our cor respondents. The man who tries to sell mine or to secure money to con- tinue the development of one is not necessarily aiming to fleece the un- wary investor. On the contrary, we prefer to believe that most men are honest and are endeavoring to do legitimate business. What then can be done to assist the honest owner of mining property who is seeking cap ital?
 Here is a letter recently received, which is a type of many: "Please give me the names of two or three brokers in New York who make a speciality of handling mining stocks and bonds; also names of promoters of mining property
 Another correspondent, whose let ter was received in the same mail, de sired to have the names of half a dozen good bond salesmen, who might be able to market the stock of a min ing company Both of these core spondents little knew what they were asking. There is an enormous i'm pression that there is in eastern cities, particularly in New York, a market for mines wherein they may be sold as real estate is sold among the board of real estate brokers. If there be any such market, we do not know of it.
 Nevertheless, there is an active market for mines among the houses that make a business of the develop ment of mineral property, such as the Guggenheim Exploration company (since this was originally published the cooperative existence of some of these companies has changed), the General Development company, the Mines Selection company, the Venture syndicate and several others. These companies are constantly on the watch for good mining property; indeed they do not wait passively for such to be brught to them, but they send out agents to find them. Any property presented to their attention receives careful consideration if it shows merit However, when we refer to these companies, the man who asks us how he can finance his mine is apt to draw a long face, and remark: It is useless to go to them; they will not consider my property unless l give them the whole of it, and they will : not be willing to pay me what it ii
 worth Now, in this respect we d'

G. H. Gaylord, one of the principal owners of the Dixie Queen property, was in Chloride a few hours Wednes- day on his way to the mine It is un- derstOOd that a New York engineer recently made examination of the property and reported favorable to his clients.

LOOK IT OVER

Sydney J. Jennings of Boston, Mass, who is interested in the Ten nessee mine, arrived in Chloride Thursday. He is one of the most prom. inent geologists in the United States. He was much surprised at the rapid development of the camp since his last visit here and predicts great future for this district.

After the game we went to the
Id mill. Homer Myers and Harold

CITY GOVERNMENT

Each city needs different laws.
his is because every city is inter-
sted in different things. For in
lance Richmond needs new

The way they go about it is that

he city is divided up into wards.
each ward has head man which
IS called the councilman. Just the
seople in one ward vote for their
ouncilman. These men meet about
nee every other week and make
avs for their city. The council
mans duty is to find out what the
neople of his ward want. Then
hen they meet they discuss the
natter and so make the laws of the

Notes About "Y"

The Bible classes at the Y. M. c..
A. are going along with the same
kind spirit as they have had in the
past. On Tuesday night the boys
have a "get together" supper. All
the boys are urged to come, at six
forty. At seven the classes are
formed On Thursday night four
more classes meet at seven O'Clock.
On Saturday morning two classes
meet at nine-thirty and at ten-forty
five two more classes meet. Boys
who are not attending these classes
are missing great opportunity for
learning, and good pleasure. So
come out, boys, and join us in the
study of the Bible.

Hon. Happy Hunt, Jr., the billiard

Why We Have Thanksgiving

The Puritans landed in 1920.
When they got off their boat, the
Mayflower. they were thinking of
some way to thank God for being
so good to them. They all knelt
down in the snow and thanked the
Lord, when they got up one Puritan
said, Let us all have a day Of
Thanksgiving" So they proclaimed
a day of Thanksgiving and they
were to have it on the last Thurs
day in November, 1921. They in
vited the Indians to eat with them.
They had a nice feast of roasted
wild turkey, corn bread, nuts and
several nice things go eat. And
that is why we have Thanksgiving
on the last Thursday of November.

PURITANS HAD FEAST

Once upon time there was a
man and a woman. They went out
hunting, it was the day before
Thanksgiving, the man saw a tur-
key on a tree, so he shot at it and
down it fell.
The man picked it up and they
washed it for Thanksgiving When
Thanksgiving came, Oh, what a
feast! Turkey, chicken, candy,
oranges, apple sauce, peanut but
ter, cake, peanuts, bread and but
,er.
After the feast was done. they
washed the dishes, swept the floor
and then went for a walk. When
they came home the wife set the
table and they ate their supper
and thanked God for his goodness
for giving them such feast-Vera

GOOD FRIENDS

The sun was setting in the west,
1t had been lovely day,
Witheverything looking its very
best,
And the birds singing their
grandest lay.
Out in the field was a little girl:
And near her weak, little lamb.
The little girls name was Murrel',
The little lambs was Fan.
The little lamb did love its maid,
The water it wanted was never
delayed.
Soon her head upon her lap she
pressed,
AS if she was hunting a place
to rest.
Murell stroked the little lambs
back,
Thinking never anything had it
lacked
Later. her father came to take her
home,
But she had to be coaxed with
an ice cream cone.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

The Pilgrims were so thankful
that God had helped them through
the winter and had given them food
that they decided to have day to
thank God for His kindness.
They invited the Indians and
their neighbors to spend a day in
feasting and thanking God for what
he had done for them.
The Pilgrim children and their
mothers were very busy days be-
fore, preparing for the great feast,
Sometimes the children would get
impatient waiting.
At last the great day was at
hand. Such excitement there was
in the homes of the Pilgrims.
They didn't have food as we dc
now. The fathers had to hunt for
wild animals for their food. One
of their foods they thought so much
of was the corn the Indians taught
them to plant, which we call Indian
corn.
When the feasting was over the
Indians and the white men played
games, and closed the day with
prayers.
Doesn't it all seem strange COM
pared with our present Thanks
giving?-Alice Smith, Starr school.

mashed potatoes and turkey and

TOM AND THE TURKEY

One day when Tom was walking
in the barnyard a turkey came up
to him and said, "Gobble, gobble,

WHATEVER YOU DO, WALK NECESSITY, SAYS

BY MABEL NORMAND
Famous Movie Actress
Next to a strong, healthy mind,
nothing is so important to a woman
as is strong, healthy body. 1t is a
noteworthy fact, also, that the lat
ter develops the former. Nothing
changes the perspective of life to the
same degree as perfect health, and it
can be obtained and kept only by
proper outdoor exercise.
Before the developing of the cleo
trio street car systems, the telephone
and the coming of the automobile, it
was necessary to do a great deal
more walking than is required to-
day.
Walking is a splendid natural tonic
and it is regrettable that it is no
longer INDUCED in to the same ex-
tent as Of yoTe. While autOmObiling

the country, which is healthful and

passes that does not see me in the

the opportunity presents itself, play

1t is true that there are many
young women who have little or no
opportunity to battle in the surf or
indulge in other outdoor sports. But
few, if any, live so remote from the

the winding trails of the mountains
that they cannot frequently go on
hikes.
In many cities, department store
