DEVELOPMENT STARTS
 ON THE PRINCE JOHN

Work was started Monday on the John group, on the west side of Bear river, which is under bond to c. A. Mackenzie and associates. For the present ten men will be employed though this number will probably be increased as room can be made for them undereroud, and it is the intention to carry on de- velopment all winter. The camp building is 36x80 feet in size, cap- able of comfortably accommodate ing 30 men.
 There are a number of veins op- ened up on the John, and values average around $48, though assays running much higher may be ob- tained from picked specimens. In one opening as high as $36 has been obtained in gold alone.
 It is MT. Mackenzie's intention to build a residence for himself and wife on the property whenever the government road to connect with his trail up the hull is completed. rector Eddie Hambleton and Con- sulting Engineer A.G. Larson went to Vancouver with MT. Wier and Mir. Claus, where a conference with other officials of the company will be held.
 Pat Daly, before leaving, said the mine development was satisfac- tory to the management in every respect. Five big parallel veins, from 5 to 75 feet in width, and from 100 to 400 feet apart, have been proven, four of them since development started this summer. The new crosscut tunnel to tap the upper vein was in 25 feet when he left the camp and had passed through blind vein. seven feet in width, and carrying a good grade of milling ore, but which is not counted into the assets of the property as yet. This tunnel, which is being driven under con- tract by Chas. Land and partners, will need to be driven about 60 feet more to reach the vein for which 1t was started, and another contract will probably be let to continue 1t across the ore body.

THE CROP REPORT

To the resident of big city the
crop reports gotten out by the govern
ment mean little. But to residents of
rural communities and towns like
Julesburg there is no more important
document. Without the crop report
agriculture and the thousands of in
dustries dependent upon it would be
in bad way. The city man feels
that the information does not concern
him. His knowledge of agriculture,
as rule, is established largely thru
the products of the farm he sees on
the dining table. He looks upon them
merely as things that can be bought
with money, giving little thought to
the countless things their production
and distribution involves.
But thousands of US know that
sometimes crop report spells the
difference between prosperity and
rumor, asd We know crop report
is always the arrow which points out
the future course for millions of our
people. The Department of Agricul-
ture, to get these reports each month
has innumerable trained officials in
various sections of the country who
check up on and report the findings
of the 22s,OOO crop reporters who do
the work. These field agents supply
the material with which statistics
make up the final reports. The pre-
liminary information includes acreage,
conditions, yield, total production,
stec KS on farms, progress OF the farm
work, wages, labor supply, fertilizers,
and seeds. And covering these means
covering industries in which hundreds
Of thousands of people are interested
in. In fact, whether he knows it or
not, the city man would find, were
there no crop reports, that a mighty
big change would be made in his liv-
ing conditions.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-01-19
A HARD BLOW

We don't see why the professor
couldn't have kept it to himself about
fifty years longer. Here we are try
ing to be happy and hopeful and he
comes along and tells us-well, just
listen to what this Yale professor tells
US.
He says that either the earth's rate
Of rotation is slowing down or that
the moon is moving faster. The result
is that each year We gain one-thou-
sandeth Of second of daylight, and
that when the world is 360, 900 years
older than it is now. each of our most
precious nights will be one second
shorter.
The year 1921 was full of disap-
pointing and discouraging things. But
1t is tough to have a blow like this
fall at the beginning of a new year.
But be of good cheer-maybe after
all the professor is wrong. Maybe it
will be 366,000 years before We begin
to lose that precious second of time
every night.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-01-19
BUY AT HOME

Did you ever really give the subject
Of the local merchant and you any
serious thought?
Perhaps you are loyal citizen and
patronize the local stores as q matter
Of loyalty, but as this is not lecture
it will do no harm to read it, any
how.
Your local merchant is first a citi-
zen, a resident of your community the
same as you are.
He lives in your community, pays
taxes along with you for the upkeep
and improvement of your community;
he raises his family and sends his
children to school-schools which he
helps, with you, to maintain.
If he is a butcher, he buys clothes
and shoes for his family from fel-
low-merchant. No matter what his
line of business, he spends money with
other business men of the community.
He banks in the local banks; he
takes his family of an evenings to the
local entertainments. Summed up,
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-01-19
EXAGGERATING BUSINESS
CONDITIONS

In times like the present there are
always people who are fifty called
Calamity howlers." They are pessi-
mists on the business situation and
they take delight in dwelling on all
unfavorable features.
The political motive always leads
some to take this point of view. Those
who were defeated in the preceding
election maintain an Il told you 50"
attitude. They seem pleased when
they hear news of failures and un-
employment.
Democratic newspapers and states
men have frequently said during the
past few months, that business con-
ditions are growing no better and
some of them do not seem to want
them to be better.
Such observers not merely show po-
litical prejudice, but they are poor
are too much disposed to compare
such times as the country had the
past year, with the boom period OF
1919 and 1920, and imagine the coun.
try was really prosperous during that
time. As matter of fact conditions
were so abnormal and unhealthy dur
ing those years, that the elements of
disaster were being prepared with the
certainty of fate. from which the
country had slowly to recover during
the year 1921.
In such a year as 1921. conditions
are far better than many people
think. For every idle person there
are many who are fully employed.
Many OF those who are idle could find
work if they were not too fussy. The
great majority of people were earn
ing a living and makisg good, and
savings banks deposits were steadily
increasing. The year 1921 will seem
far more wholesome and helpful than
the inflated but fictitious prosperity
of 1919. And during 1921 under the
guidance of the able business men in
control of this administration, there
was = constant removal of the OBJ
stacles that have tended to retard
complete recovery from the war.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-01-19
THE STOCK MARKET

For some weeks past the stock mar
ket has been advancing. While there
nave been recessions from time to
time. the general trend has been up
ward.
Meanwhile money rates have been
going downward. That indicator
which showed the way at the opening
of the non-buying period has for some
months taken reverse course. These
are ordinarily reliable signs of the
times. The stock market has not
doomed but its steady march has been
encouraging to those who watch its
movements.
The merchant who is content to sit
browsing and toasting his toes by the
fires of used-to-be is going to find it
difficult to keep going from now on,
because competition is again awaken
ing and it takes salesmanship to sell
now to the same people who were say
ing WRAP it up couple of years ago
without asking the price. If the swing
of the pendulum from abnormal boom
times to the opposite direction catch
es any business man mapping now. and
if he doesn't wake up and start un-
loading his shelves he certainly can
have no one to blame but himself
The warning is clear enough.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-01-19
THE INDUSTRIAL CYCLE

Students Of business have realized
for many years that prosperity and
depressions follow each other in GER
tain waves or cycles. When business
