NEVADA SILVER HORN PROPERTY REVEALS
PROFITABLE TONNAGE OF SILVER ORE

The Nevada Silver Horn proper
". situated 23 miles north west of
Phoebe, has recently been examined
by mining engineers representing
New York capital. T. w. France,
previously on the engineering stat
of the American Smelling and Re-
fining Company, and also identified
with the vogelstein interests, was
in charge of the work.
The results of the samplng have
demonstrated that large sections of
the big cropping carry satisfactory
values in silver.
In the early days, considerable de-
velopmen work was done on these
claims, but work was confined to
prospecting for ore on the porphyry
contacts, which are similar to the
big ore-bearing dykes of the Phoebe
area, which have produced millions
in the past. The big quartz outcrop
upstanulng and weathered was con-
sidered worthless until a strike Of
.ae liver ore made last year
by John l.. Whipple on his adjoin
ing Silverdale claims led to
tbs sampling of the big quartz dyke
Mr.. Whipple shortly afterwards
bonded the main property and later
associated with Champion and
Champion, mining engineers of Santa
Monica, California, formed the Me-
yada Silver Horn mining company
Under the direction of Champion
Champion, sectional samp.inx of I'll
outcrop, which is over 1900 feet in
length and 80 feet in width was un-
dertaken.
The results of this sampling indi-
Gated the desirability Of financing the
property with a view to the erection
of a 40 ION pilot cyanide mill and
with the proceeds from the profitable
treatment of ores from the richest
sectors gradually develop the mine
and enlarge the mill to treat great
er tonnage with correspondingly in
creased profits.
Under the present arrangements
recently made by Frank A. Cramp-
ton in the East, the building OF this
small pilot mill will be deferred anc
an increased amount of development
will be started on the property with

MUSIC IN COST OF LIVING
inhabitants Of Densely Populated
Flats In New York City Begin
to Take Alarm.

Opening windows on the first warm
days Of the year bring warning that
this will probably be the most musical
season New York has ever seen, says
the Evening Star of that city. The
apartment-house court has always
been cosmopolitan in its musical tastes
and prone to prodigality in It's volume
of more or less musical sounds In
summer, and this time 1t appears that
not only are all the young men home
from the army but that the high cost
Of everything has also made the apart
ments more densely inhabited and
more continuously SO than ever before
The magnets are lacking that once
drew folk away from home In the eve
ming. Beer Is negligible as a corner
attraction. The movies are more ex
pensive and more tiresome. Sods
bears war tax paid by the dispenser
and also charged to the consumer
Home has become a rather forcet
haven for all and music Is being over
worked In an attempt to relieve 1t
tedium.
This season we have with US, appar

1t was with this end in view tha,

The big dyke was sampled in 10
foot sections on a larger scale than

the results obtained were exceeding
ly gratifying. Close to the discovery

averaged 40.3 ounces in silver. with
a little gold. An additional area ad
1acent to prospect No. 3 assayed in
excess of 20 ounces over a width OF
20 feet.
The richest sectors were near pros
pect No. 1, where four samples taken
in adjacent squares assayed 34.4
ounces; 1914 ounces; 52.4 ounces
and 1873 ounces in silver, a remark
able continuity of values all tho
more surprising when it is realized
that heretofore the big dyke hat
been considered worthless.
The sampling maps covering th'
dyke are very interesting and demon

NO GAME FOR GUTTER
Wanamaker Advises Faint-Hearted
to Never Start Advertising.

John Wanamaker, the world s
most successful merchant, the owner
of the biggest stores in New York and
Philadelphia, and the largest user of
newspaper advertising space that all
history knows, says: IF there is one
business on earth that a gutter
should severely leave alone it is ad-
vertising; one must be prepared to
stick to it like barnacle on a boats
bottom. He should know before he
begins it that he must spend money
considerable of it. Somebody
should tell him also that he cannot
hope to reap results commensurate
with his expenditures early in the
game. Advertising doesn't jerk; it
begins very gently at first, but the
pull is steady. 1t increases day by
day and year by year until it exerts
an irresistible power. 1t is likened
to team pulling a heavy load A
thousand spasmodiC jerky pulls will
not bulge the load. while one-half
the power, exerted in steady effort,
will start and keep it moving.
There are three ways to make ad-
vertising pay, and these are the only
ways. There are others. First, is
TO KEEP AT IT; second, is TO
KEEP AT IT; third, is TO KEEP AT
