How To Attract and Inspire
Mining Investors.

The STATE MINERS mission in
this field is to give publicity to
efforts of local endeavor in min
ing and industrial enterprises. It
makes nor exacts any fixed price
for this work, but stipulates that
stories" of mining discoveries
and development must be truth
full and not misleading. All stock
ventures are encouraged so long
as we know the funds therefrom
are spent in honest development
of this states resources and the
corporation laws of Arizona are
complied with. Our endeavors
at all times will be to encourage
the investors whose money is be-
ing used to develop the resources
of this section and to inspire 9TH
ers to come in and help. Every
week brings inquiries about GER
tain properties, which are truth
fully answered and if the man
agement is carrying out a fixed
policy of development, even tho
it be but a prospect, our assist
ance is on tap in any capacity
that long experience has fitted
us for, for the asking. We don't
believe in indiscriminate boosting
of ventures that have no merit to
the ultimate discontinue of the
investors who get no returns on
their money and whose repetition
of disaster only serves to give
the country a black eye" /" All
operators are invited to send in
copies of their reports which will
gladly be given prominence and
reaches the stockholders by SIM
ply mailing them a marked copy
of the paper containing it.

Let's Stop Quibbling.

From present indication Wick
enburg's recent efforts to provide
a new school for this district are
liable to be hindered and work
of construction, which would be
a source of activity and profit to
the community, may be indefi-
nitely postponed. It is barely
possible that the report that ap-
peared in previous issue to the
effect that a protest was to be
filed against the erection on the
old school site may be a mistake.
There is a growing sentiment, in
view of this matter, which has
now cropped out, to cease all op-
position and let the school trus-
tees go ahead with the work so
vital to the futnre welfare of
this community. The only real
profit to be derived from hind
rance and further delay will ac-
crue to the bankers in the shape
of interest. by giving them, like
it is with the road bonds lon
ger use of that money.

lors advertise near and 2.75 beer
and the patrons add the kick if
they desire from the hip pocket.
No longer is the plate, automo-
bile, or bank account a sure sign
of prosperity. The private Gel
lar, in the 400 districts of Los
Angeles, Pasadena. and Long
Beach, is now the true evidence,
and the key to those cellars is the
one beyond price possession of
the lucky owner. This picture
of actual conditions in the new
down to date Los Angeles is not
over drawn, but is actual fact
briefly told.
An intimate friend in the Sc
cret-Service, told me. that never
in his twenty odd years service
in Los Angeles, was the city so
overrun with grafters of high
and low degree, and high fliers
of the Wallingford and Blackie
Daw variety.
Despite these openly fragrant
conditions, the outside world, is
told, via Chief of Police. and the
Ministerial Unions, that Los An
geles is the only truly, and only
clean, moral, not to say Holy City
in this land of sunshine and cli-
mate. There is no disputing the
fact that it is a great and grow
ing metropolis, but like all big
cities, it has it's shady, not to say
vicious side. While / was in Los
Angeles, three gambling (0
joints were raided, bond money
paid in as fines, and police given
newspapaper credit for making q
cleanup. The initiated under
stood the "set tup' game, and the
reform (?) mayor is hailed as a
wonder; and he Sin the gen
tie art of side-stepping, and keep
ing his word to the workers"
on the inside and uuieting the
suspicious of the 'goody-goods, "
who are on the outside. Mayor
Snyder is even wiser with clean
shave, than he was when known
from Shasta to San Diego, and
the Sierras to the sea, as Pink
Whiskers. If you do not believe
this statement, ask Champ"

Randsburg Oct. 20 Special to
the STATE MINER.
Despite the fact that | have
lived the life of a Bohemian for
above forty years, three weeks
in the. metropolis of the South
land, to wit: Los Angeles, has
convinced me that the desert is
good enough for me, as a per-
manent residence.
Forty years residence in Los
Angeles as newspaper man, peace
off Ger, international Revenue
Collector and Bohemian, qualities
me to speak of the old town, and
four years residence on the des-
ert warrants me in drawing a
word picture of the new Los
Angeles as | found it during
three weeks of wandering, in
search of old landmarks and fa-
miliar faces. Few and far be-
tween are the landmarks, but
alas the familiar faces, were with
few exceptions, missing.
In the old days, man was
judged by his true value, and his
worth was not figured in dollars
and cents. His word was his
bond and so long as he lived up
to it, he stood ace high. Today
every man is figured on a cent
per cent basis, and the credit of
the man who endorses his note
of hand, be it for $5. 90 or 81, 900.
Commercialism rules the whole
works, from the banker down
the line to the Senegambian who
blacks your boots in the wash
room in the hotel and care takes
the toilets, WHICH NOW COST sc
PER, under patented lock and
key.
Prohibition which is presumed
to regulate thirst and Danish
crime is working in the opposite
direction, if the police court rec
ords as made since July 1st are
to be depended upon.
Whiskey at from $7.00 to $1,000
per quart, can be had for the
asking and essence of Jamaica
Ginger is bringing in a harvest
of dollars to the druggists.
In one thirst parlor on Spring
Street the back bar is decorated
with a double festoon of empty
Jamaica ginger bottles hung on
strings the full length of the bar.
These empties are picked up un-
der the tables aud in the toilets
after the contents have been
added to the 2.75 beer to give it
a kick. A druggist friend east
of Main st. assured me that on
Saturdays he sells from 3 to 5
gallons of essence of ginger, and
most of the stuff in 4 ounce bot
ties, at ten cents per ounce. The
family liquor stores which under
the old order, closed at nine
O'Clock week days, and all day
Sunday, now keep open until IL
p. m. and are open all day Sun
day, 2.75 beer and a full line of
bladder and kidney destroyers

A petition should be circulated
at once for signers to pledge fl
assistance in the drilling
of a hole in search of oil. The
Home Oil company has a dozen
or more sections of oil land that
could be hypothecated to the
signers as security for their fin
ancial pledges. If only artesian
water were encountered it would
justify the expense, from a stand
point of remuneration.
There is to be a Roosevelt Me-
mortal dance at Baxter's hall on
tomorrow night, to which are to
be added features of intrinsic
value designed to make the oc-
casion enjoyable and memorable.
"Bucky" Lambert and the Prin-

you may be of a different politi-
cal faith.
