NINE MILE HAS
RICH STRIKE


Continued from Page -
low and adjacent to the railroad. or
if desired the Marsh mill, a quarter of
mile below, could doubtless be util-
lied either by lease or purchase, with
which connection could be made by
tramway. Altogether, assuming that
the McPhIlips proves to be mine, the
conditions for its development, equip
ment and operation could hardly be
improved.
How the Strike Was Made
Peter McPhnlips, sole owner of the
property, has held the ground for many
years, doing the annual assessment
work and as much more as possible
each year, and in the meantime en-
deavoring to find one with sufficient
confidence and capital to develop the
property It was in this way that he
met w. J. Stratton, of the firm of
Stratton & Stratton, the other member
being Mrs. StrattOn and a very active
member, too. Now Mr. Stratton is not
a capitalist, but he is rich in native
resources which enable him to present
propositions which attract capital from
Others as will appear in the story of
his promotion of the McPhillips prop
erty. Boiled down, Mr.. Stratton took
a bond on the McPhnlips property for
$4,000, payable at stated times con-
ditioned upon finding pay ore, and
which required continuous development
work. To pay for this work, he issued
1900 en-dollar options which he Of
fered to the public and which were
quite extensively subscribed both To-
cally and throughout the country. The
conditions under which these options
were issued are explained in detail on
their face. Briefly the subscriber was
limited to one option for which he
paid SO, with the stipulation that the
entire sum- less 20 per cent to pay
office and other expenses would be
used for the development of the prop
erNg If the efforts to develop a mine
proved successful, then the option
holders would proceed to incorporate
a company for the operation of the
mine. and each holder of ten-dollar
option would be entitled to $50 shares
in the company; also, and here is where
the option came in. each holder of an
option. would also be entitled to re-
ceive $50 additional shares upon the
payment of $40 to be used the same as
the first payment, but it was optional
with him whether he took this addi-
tional stock or not. On the other hand
if the efforts to develop a mine proved
unsuccessful, then the holder Of the
dollar option could enter his in
vestment of $40 on the loss side of
the ledger or forget that he ever had
it. This in brief is the novel plan under
which Stratton & Stratton have carried
on the development of the McPhillips
property, and the best evidence that
it has been successful is the run that
has been made upon them for options
since the strike was made.

MAY CHANGE ELECTION LAW.

If predictions are true there will be
a great change in the election laws
made by the New Jersey Legislature
which began its sessions for 1923 at
Trenton this Tuesday. One important
change which is contemplated is hav-
ing the Primary election in May in
sted of September and combining the
Presidential Primary Election, now
held in April. with the state primaries.
Another law which may be enacted
is to do away with the levying and
collecting Of poll tax in New Jersey.
New York and Connecticut have al
ready abolished the poll tax and in
Pennsylvania the tax is mostly paid
by political organizations and the re-
ceipts given the voters, who, under
that state law, must show their poll
tax receipt when they go to vote.
In many municipalities of New Jer-
sey the poll tax is neYe collected now
and in others the tax officials find it
very difficult to make the collections.
The tax is allowed to stand on the
books for three or more years as a
charge against the citizen and then
wiped out by action of City Council
Commission governing bodies.

Where There Is a Will

NO you read the bank advertising? Some of the most in
- teresting and ingenious bits of reading matter to be
found anywhere are coming from the hands of the advertising
men nowadays, and the bank advertising has come to hold its
own with that of the department stores and the rest of the
selling news that makes newspapers and magazines SO enter
tanning.
They Never Found His W1f' announces a big bank in a
large city, and tells a story of unnecessary difficulties. He had
told his wife about having made a will, but it could not be
found. He died after a short illness, leaving the wife and
three children.
THE real property which, in the absence of a will, belongs
to the children subject to the widows dover, cannot be sold
until the youngest comes of age, 10 years later, unless the
mother goes through complicated court procedure. 1t is going
to be difficult, in the interim, if not impossible, for her to
educate and keep the three children on the insurance and the
income from her third of the property Yet he meant to
leave her in control of the property"
The moral drawn by the bank is-have your will drawn,
with the bank named as executor. It's a good plan.
All sorts of complications are likely to arise in case of
sudden death, and minor children need to be protected.
Wives, also, who have shared in the early struggles, ought
to be assured their just share of the later rewards.
No man wants to leave his affairs in a tang1e for his heirs
to wrestle with, particularly if his means are modest. 1t
might be said that the smaller the fortune, the greater need
of a clear and explicit will.
Wills aren't. for old people in their dotage to make. They
are for young people to help keep their affairs in order.

Go To Church Next Sunday

NOING to church may be a habit. Even SO, we must admit
" that it is a very good habit. Many men and women go
to church who are not church members, and. who never even
expect to become members OF any religious body, but simply
because they appreciate the refining influence Of the service.
We have excellent churches here in this town. We have
eloquent ministers in the pulpits of all denominations. Our
churches have well trained choirs. The music in OUR churches
is exceedingly attractive to those who have adequate notion
OF the good things OF life.
Suppose you decide to go to church next Sunday. 1t will do
you good. You will be fully rewarded in going. Perhaps you
have not beenin years. Perhaps you may think that when you.
take your seat in the pew you will really feel like a stranger
But do not let that disturb you. Go! Forget yourself. Think
OF what the minister says. Consider well and carefully his mes
sage. Enjoy the music.
Regardless of what your religious views may be, and it is
certainly true that in our America of freedom of thought every
citizen has the right to worship his Creator according to the
dctation of his own conscience, you must admit, if you think
at all, that the church has a very important place in the social
scheme of our world. Think about this! Think about your
welfare! Go to church next Sunday!

loved. She had moved from Pitts
burgh ONE years ago to their home

hind to o NJ her loss a beloved hus-
band, James A. Wray. and her son.
James Victor Wray, of Atlantic City.
The funeral service was conducted at
her late home by Rev. J. L. Keith
Macleod, pastor OF the First Baptist
Church, Pleasantyille, on Sunday af-
ternoon. at which a large number of
friends gathered to show their esteem
and respect. The interment will take

Avenue Baptist Church, of which
she was a member for many years.

The Churches Church

THE title of this article ought to
Il convey greater truth than per-
haps the space will permit me to
express.
We are speaking of churches that
have lost their church position,
have become cheap, second rate,
inefficient, and have dropped into
the rut of the cheapness of the
world to get the attention of man.
The church that has to make itself
cheap in any way to induce people
to attend its services has lost it's
churchness and the cheaper it
makes itself the more Disguised
people become and the less they at
tend it.
Take the publicity of some of the
ministers. The very titles of their
sermons are disgusting. They do
not know how to write the adver-
tisement. They do not know how
to put a title to their sermons.
The titles do not convey the SUBJ
ject matter of their would-be dis
courses; consequently, the titles are
frauds, the advertisements are
fakes, and the church becomes
cheap and loses its churchness.
The church constantly bragg
ging, threatening, coaxing, begging,
pleading, advertising, has reached
the low level of the cheap, vulgar
world. The slang and loose lam
guage often heard from the pulpit
as well as seen in the advertise
ments cheaper the church.
The mar who says that the pub
lie would rather sing jazz than
hymns has libeled the public, per-
jured himself for the purpose of
cheapening the church. People
want to hear the hymns. They
want to sing the hymns. They
want a dignihed service. They
want the gospel. They want the
church to come back into her own
and take her dignifed place.
There is no subject on earth that
will hold the people like the doc
trine of the vicarious atonement,
the blood Of Tesus Christ, the only
means Of salvation. God save the
c~hurchless churches of the country.
