MAKING
The Profession Is Rarely Understood
By Those Outside of the Field

-
There is no other profession than
journalism and newspaper making
about which persons outside of it
know so little" says Robert S. Double
day, publisher of the Peekskill IN. "
Evening News.
"'The man who has at one time or
another sent "a piece to the papers, or
owned a share of stock in a newspaper,
is to be met on every corner, and
n~inety-nine persons out of a hundred
are quite sure they know better how to
edit. TO write for, to prepare generally,
and to publish a newspaper than any
editor OF journalist or publisher who
ever lived.
"And so they do, each of them, know
how to put out just the right sort of
newspaper for them. 1t would not be
for anyone else. If they We're willing
to pay the price, they could, any OF
them, publish a newspaper that would
exactly please each N of them, IN
dividually. The perfection OF their
product would not be apparent to an
other mortal on earth. To the rest of
the world, their newspapers would be
uninteresting, silly, useless botches.
Newspapers deal in ideas and the
ideas of no two persons in the world
are identical.
Not all, by any means, of those
engaged in journalism or newspaper
making understand what might be
called the science of it. Those who
have dabbcd in it know little about it.,
and those outside of it know nothing
at all.
An Exclusive Field
ats shades and facets, its pyschol-
ogy, and its relations to political, So
Geological and commercial conditions
comprise a world into which men out
side the profession have never peeked,
though most of them are quite con-
WINGED that they have seen it all. They
are quite sure, at least, that common
rules, applicable elsewhere, with
which they are more or less familiar,
may be applied here as well.
"The really competent newspaper
man realizes he does not know it all,
and that is ) great part of his wisdom.
He is not a quidnunc. That is one of the
dynamic forces behind the real jour
nalist that impels ever onward, to
learn and to do. He does not know
that those outside know nothing of it.
"There are degrees in the qualitica-
lions even of men in the profession, of
course. Nearly every one of them has
limitations that are obvious enough,
though he be talented within a certain
scope.
"The story is told, and it is quite
true, of a newspapers man, well up on

letting the Club % the Work.


The secret of the golf stroke is in
letting the club do the work. We have
watched many golfers. some Of them
champion buck passers. They have
been letting other fellows do their
work for years; whenever there has
been anything to do SO far as they
were concerned. someone else could
attend to it. But out on the golf
course they are different. Then they
persist in trying to do. themselves, the
work which the particular club In
hand was designed to do. In other
words. the only time they should let
something else do the work they
stubbornIy refuse, thinking they
themselves can do it better. 1t is
strange but 1t is hard to get into the
average golfers head that if the Lord
had intended his shoulders to loft a
ball into the air He'd have shaped
them like q mashie. - Detroit Free

MAGIC AWAKENING OF
AMERICAN FLAT

AS by magic, a transformation is
taking place on American Flat, and
where formerly only a desolute stretch
of sagebrush greeted the eye, is now to
be seen buildings rapidly rising from
the earth.
For the first time in the history of
the district trains are crossing almost
directly across the fiat; countless cars
of lumber, machinery and supplies
are being unloaded at various points
over half a mile; cuts are being run;
sagebrush grubbed out; teams and
scrappers leveling up the uneven sur
face of the ground; men everywhere
busily engaged at their respective
tasks, all part and parcel of a great or
ganization putting into effect mining
project that in all respects will have no
equal in the world.
Engineering skill and genius and
capital is brining the Comstock into
its own again.-Virginia Chronicle.

HoLL-UPS REPORTED

Parties coming in from Genoa last
evening brought report of several
hold-ups on the grades, automobile par
ties being the victims. In one instance,
a man with club tried to hold up a
butcher returning to MInden from
Lake Tahoe over the Kingsbury grade
The butcher was armed and held up
the would-be bandit and brought him
into Minden.
A man named Alderman, it was
stated, had been held up and robbed
on the same grade. Another hold-up
was reported on the Carter Summit
grade, where it was stated, two drum
mers were the victims. They saw a
car apparently in distress and stopped
to see il they could extend aid, when
the hold-up stunt was pulled.
No definite word of such work has
been received at the sheriffs office
here and Investigations have started to
round up the rumors. Nevada has a
habit of dealing with such work and
there is a chance for some of it to be
put into action.

GAMBLING DEBTS
UNCOLLECTABLE Z

Emphasizing the settled law of Ne
vada that money loaned for gambling
purposes cannot be recovered III its
courts, Judge Mark R. Averill hand
ed down a decision yesterday in a
case appealed from the justice court.
The case is entitled John Vukivich VS..
Chris Melich, ard despite the small
amount at stake the court enters
very flhly nto the circumstances OF
the alleged loan, evidently with the
view of impressing the law on all
persons involved in similar transac-
tons.
On the evening OF January 5th,, 1921
the plaintiff loaned the defendant
money, the plaintiff claiming the
amount to be $sS, and the witnesses
merely testifying that they saw mon
ey pass in the form of greenbacks to
the defendant.
The defense is that the money was
loaned on the night of January 10th
payday, while the defendant was gam6
ling in the place OF business of the
plaintiff and lost in the game, says the
Tonopah Times.

ORE AT LUCKNOW

Working single handed. O'Bokyle
and Watson, discoveries of gold ore
at Lucknow, nine miles north OF Lun-
ing, have sunk prospect shaft "a feet
and plan to start lateral work at 80
feet From the surface for Is feet the
shaft was in quartz breccia which car
ried good values. At Is feet fissures
were cut that contained soft ore, one
of which continues in the shaft. which
is now in silicified porphyry. The ore
has been saved and sacked and aver
ages about $50 per ton according to
samples taken.
The shaft was started SO feet from
the badger hole where gold was first
found on the strike of the ore zone and
between two faults, one running north
west and the other east-west. AS a
restlt of this faulting the formation is
broken. At 80 feet a drift will be
driven towards the badger hole and a
cross-cut to the north to cut the east
west fault. Both OF the owners are
well-pleased with the showing SO far
and their many visitors, including sew
eral engineers, likewise express salts
faction with the showing in the shaft.
As the owners are not financially
able to employ assistance they pur-
pose to continue development alone
as fast as possible. They say: 'It is
up to us to prove this thing and we are
going to do So"

SIMON SILVER LEAD
HAS SMELLING PLANT

Negotiations that have been in pro-
gress for some time past have result
ed in the acquisition by the Simon Sil-
yer Lead Mines Company OF control Of
the Kirk Simon Smelling Company,
which owns a smelling plant at Har-
Dor City, Cal, Is miles from Los An-
geles and near the harbor. This gives
the company direct outlet by water
for its product The smelter was con-
strrcted during the war at large cost
and is said to have been acquired at a
bargain price by the Simon Company.
1t will be used to manufacture zinc
oxide, insuring to the Simon Company
a stable market and certain profit for
its zinc concentrate. The plant is
being remodeled, and the first unit will
be ready for operation within sixty
days The process involves roas ing
at high temperature and precipitation
from the fume, by method embody-
ing features OF the playhouse and Cot
trell processes.
The $50 ton floatdtion mill of the
company is more than 90 per cent
pleted requiring only the installation
of the flotation machines. which are
being built at the mine. Extraction
of the metals will be effected by select
i've floatation
The mill can be completed and
placed i'll operation at short notice
and will be ready to treat ore when the
eleceric power line is compeleted to
the camp. Recent work in the mine
has resulted in opening the main ore
body on the sixth level and proving
the supposed main fault to be nearly
a horizontal slip that does not affect
the character or continuity of the ore
bodies.

purpose of manufacturing zinc oxide
and the first unit will be ready for
operation in about sixty days, the bull
etin states. and at that time the Ne
vada mine is expected to deliver zinc
concentrates from the mine flotation
concentration plant.
Our zinc smelter at Harbor City is
located about eighteen miles from the
center of the city of Los Angeles the

from Los Angeles harbor, which gives
US the Pacific coast, the Eastern and
exporting markets by water. With our
reasonable cost Of production of zinc
concentrates at our mine plant and our
up-to-date process of manufacturing
zinc oxide in our Harbor City plant,
