Mines are Made

Once in a great while a surface
deposit of mineral is discovered
from which fortunes are recover
ed almost from the grass roots,
says the Salt Lake Mining Review.
Such cases are exceptional, how
ever, and furnish no logical pre-
cedent which should govern reg
ular mining operations, for it is
a well known fact that "mines are
made" and not found.
1t is true that the groupings
and lodges are discovered, usually
by the tireless and indomitable
prospector, that give promise of
becoming producing and paying
mines with exploitation and de-
velopment; but, it usually takes
years and the expenditure of large
sums of money in development
and equipment before even re-
turn of the outlay is made, if
ever; for it is not every cropping
that covers paying ore body, or
vein or ledge that contains val
liable deposits of the precious
metals or minerals.
This being the case, there is a
vast difference between pros
pect and a mine. A difference
that is not often realized by the
prospector who, upon making a
discovery of promising prospect,
allows his imagination to fly to
such an extent that he often fools
himself into the belief that his
bare location is in reality a rich
and producing mine, and he can
not be induced to part with his
prospect excepting at figures that
would cover the purchase price of
a dividend-paying bonanza; los
ing sight of the fact that thous-
ands must be expended before
profits can be recorded, should the
prospect really be the making of
a mine.
At the present time an enor-
nous amount of capital is seeking
investment in promising mining
property, but is often baked and
discouraged because of the exor-
bitant and ridiculous prices at
which mere prospects are held by
their owners.
The claim-owner must remem-
ber that the buyer of this proper
ty is willing to put up the money
if there is a reasonable chance to
realize on his investment; but, he
must also remember that "mines
are made" and list his undevelop-
ed holdings at prices which will
attract buyers who are willing to
put up the wherewith for extern
sive and systematic development.

State Grange Places
Blame for H. c. of L.

II. Ns
Officials of the New York State
Grange, representing 125,000
farmers, in a statement issued
last week, placing responsible
ity for the high cost of living up
on labor, declared that IAN econ
omic adjustment must be made if
the world is to be fed and agricul-
ture preserved" The indictment
of all workers, except those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits is
made by Sherman ]. lowell and
w. N. Giles, master and secretary,
of the grange, who allege that
strikes have been an important
factor in raising the price of food,
clothing and shelter.
"The first factor in happy life
is three meals every day." says
the statement. "The next is ade-
quate clothing and housing to
keep the body warm. The war has
only fastened what every think
ing agriculturist has seen for
years was surely coming. Rural
workers have not received the
support and encouragement which
the urban workers so easily OBJ
tanned in the form of better
schools, roads, churches, houses,
shorter hours and higher wages
for work under more favorable
conditions. This had the result
of steadily drawing from the
country it's population to an al
arming degree. Now, instead of
going into a study of our situation
and developing a remedy, our lab
oring brothers of the city purpose
to remedy our trouble by arbi-
trary measures without any real
knowledge of the cost of produc-
ing the necessities of life.
"No class of Americans with
red blood in their veins will stand
being told that they must labor
long hours at inadequate pay in
order that another class may have
shorter hours and higher wages.
Even the faithful farmer, who has
always produced sufficient food
for all, feels he has about reach
ed the limit, and that no laboring
man of the city should find fault
if he applies the same rule that
his city brother has taught him.
"Why is it that over half our
farms have mortgages on them,
and that two-thirds are worked by
renters? When class of men de-
mand a higher wage altho their
labor does not earn it, some one
else must pay, and they become
dishonest profiteers.
1--WE here challenge the city lab
orer to cost accounting that all
the world may see who earns his
wage. Let there be an authorita-
tive cost accounting of farm pro-
ducts and a wage scale for labor
the base of which shall be its
earning power.
"When wheat was 81 a bushel
one bushel paid for days work
Wheat, by government fiat, is now
1925 bushel, and it now requir-
es from two to three bushels tc
pay labor for one days work
Again when wool was 80 cents q
pound, allowing four pounds foi
suit of clothes, the farmer re-
ceived $1.20. Figuring the cost
of a suit of clothes at $50, thir-
teen days labor at S1.50 per day
paid for a suit. Today wool is 65
cents pound, four pounds bring,
ing $3.50, the amount received by
the farmer. The same suit oi
clothing is now $40 and the labor
er can obtain a suit by eight days
of labor at SIS per day. These com
parisons will hold good with every
farm product"

True, the effects of the dis
ease are manifested in these
annoying and often painful
symptoms, but you must
treat the disease itself and
not it's symptoms only.
Remember that there are
millions of catarrh germs,
and when these infest the
blood, you cannot hope to be
rid of your Catarrh until
these germs are absolutely
eliminated from the blood.
And this is why S. S. s., the
we'll known old blood puri-
fier, is such an excellent rem
edy for Catarrh. S. s. S. is
the most thorough blood rem
edy known to science. II
thoroughly purifies the blood
and cleanses it of every trace
of disease germs.
So, if you wish to be re-
lieved Of your Catarrh in a
rational way, you should be-
gin taking S. S. S. today, and
you will have the same sat
isfactory experience as the
thousands of other Catarrh
victims have had. This rem
edy will remove from the
blood all disease germs, and
will so build up the general
health, that you will find
your system in splendid dis
ease-resisting condition, your
appetite will improve, and
you will again enjoy the Wig

S. S. S. is sold by druggists
