HOPES TO WORK THE PINNACLE.

A. E. Williams, Of Seattle, stopped
over in Oroville Monday night on his
way to Loomis where ne will look af-
ter his mining interests. For a num-
ber of years Mr.. Williams has been
the chief owner of the old Pinnacle
mine, situated on the west slope Of
Palmer mountain, few miles north
OF Loomis, and from which in the old
days some OF the richest gold ore
ever seen in the northwest was TAX
en-. Mr.. Williams has religiously per-
formed the annual assessment work
on the property, hoping some time to
be able to interest sufficient capital
in the property to thoroughly exploit
the ground. He now believes that he
has secured the backing with which
the property can be properly opened
up. and IL the development is carried
on by experienced mining men 1t
seems inevitable that paying mine
will result. There are no claims in
this upper country upon which there
Is better showing than on the Pima
Gle. The ledges are strong and in
place, and as has been said, very rich
free gold ore has been taken from the
upper workings. If the Pinnacle could
be made producer mining would be
revived in the Loomis district where
work has been almost totally suspend
ed for the past fifteen years.

ELLISON.WHITE
LYCEUM SERIES
Confined to Three Numbers and Pre-.
sented under the Auspices Of the
OrOville Public Schools.

The first OF series. of Ellison White
Lyceum numbers to be presented here
this winter, will be the lecture by
Arthur Walwyn Evans, on Friday Oct.
~, In the high school auditorium. Mr..
Evans is a Welsh orator of unques-
toned renown, having been one OF the
most popular lecturers in America for
the past ten years.
The other Lyceum numbers will be
Violin-vocale, on November 6, a
Jubilee on January 81, and a nigh
school play to be given in the spring.
The High School students last
spring. pledged their support to the
Lyceum programs and have undertake
en- to raise the money to pay the per-
formers. They voted to pay $3.50 for
their A. s. B., tickets: $100 to be paid
for the Lyceum, 81 90 for athletics and
soc for the A. S. B.. fee.
Season tickets for the series of en-
tertainments will be sold to adults for
$500. The first and last performance
costing soc, the second 75c and tle
third $1.00, this will be saving of 75c.
Season tickets will be sold to chill
dren below the seventh grade for
$1.OO. Students in the seventh and
eighth grades will be charged $500,
but their tickets will admit them to
all high school athletic contests as
we'll as the four Lyceum performances.
The amount to be raised by the
school is $500. 1t is not the wish of
the ttndents to make money on the
proposition but merely to come out
even. The series offers high grade en-
tertainments, that are undoubtedly
worth while.

TREASURY SAVINGS AND
POSTAL SAVINGS CERTIFICATES

One Of the important things that
causes many to hesitate, both in max
ing investments, or depositing small
savings from their accumulations is
the question of absolute safety. This
risk, however, is absolutely disposed
of and the investment made safe in the
purchase of either Treasury Savings
Certificates or Postal Savings Cerifi-
Gates. They are not only safe, but en-
tirely free from taxation of any kind
Except that of the estate or inheri-
tance taxi; and can be realized on at
any time, or at the option of the pur-
chaser.
The Treasury Savings Certificates
bear an attractive interest rate of
about per cent per annum at matur7
ity, compounded semi-annually, and
will be paid at any time at the option
Of the holder at a rate of about 8 per
cent.
The Postal Savings Certificates have
the distinctive advantage Tin addition
to their absolute safety in the con-
venience of immediate payment on
demand at the place of deposit; and
the additional privilege of withdrawal
Of the deposit by mail If necessary or
convenient to the depositor; or in the
case with which one account may be
transferred between postOfifces, as
we'll as the payment of a conservative
rate Of interest.
This class of savings while they ap-
peal. especially to those Of foreign
descent who have been educated to
postal savings banks abroad, they
also appeal or should appeal equally
as strong to others who can save only
in frequent small sums; but who can
also enjoy all of the distinctive ad-
vantages of this splendid but simple
system offered by the government.
These two avenues of safe and prof
liable means Of saving appeal to and
impress many during the present per-
iod of industrial and financial depres-
sion, with the necessity of daily lay
ing aside some small part Of their
accunfulations or earnings to meet
the inevitable need of the future. No
one, either the young, middle age or
old will ever look back to the days
when they were thoughtfully, frugally
and safely accumulating something
for future needs without sense Of
just satisfaction with ones self as we'll
as the comfort and advantages result
ing from the days Of thoughtful saw
ing.
These two means Of saving offered
by the government are not only the
logical places for accumulation but
are placed right here at hand for the
public convenience. at nearly every
post office in the land, except some or
the smaller fourth class offices.
Deposits can be made at the Oroville
post office during any time the office
is open for general business, both for
receiving deposits in the way Of sell
ing and issuing the Treasury Savings
Certificates 2 or the Postal Savings
Certificates in sums from $100 to
5000. or in sum as samll as ten
cents. And payments are made
promptly, especially of the Postal
Savings Certificates which can be paid
at any time with no more delay tlan 1t
takes to cash a money order.
