PATAGONIA NEEDS PUBLICITY

The Patagonia mining district needs publicity in or

district is handicapped and cannot forge ahead rapidly
In statement to the Nogaes international few days
ago. W. Kelly widely known the Pacific coast as the
man who developed the Kelly mine at Ransburg, Calf,
which produced $ 0O0 declared that the Patagonia
district has very bright future-if "some men with
means" are attracted to the district.
'The Patagonia district he said, sis badly in need OF
capital There's lot of country out there to prospect and
develop the district has great deal better future than
most districts It has combination of minerals that

Mr. Kelly has the view in regard to the need
of publicity and capital possessed by other
inent in the mining world.
Kelly is considering the purchase of several properties
in the district and has already taken group of
claims formerly called the Grngo Nine paying cash for
same.
Patagonia will attract the attention of the mining
world account of the big eadslver showing together
with considerable values of gold, and the substantial
backing of such Mr. Kelly is of inestmable value

ON THE THRESHOLD OF
PUBLIC LIFE

The death or Alton B. Parker
illustrates two things: In the flood
of twenty-five years of political
events, the public often forgets
many Of its noted figures; and
there are good men and great men
at the threshold Of political life
who are turned down by the pub
lie.
OF late it has been said that the
thing this country needs Is men,
great men in high office. Congress
has come under severe condemna-
tion because Of the quality or lack
of quality of congressman. Am
erica has plenty Of great men, hon.
est men and loyal men with high
ideals and stern courage, but Am
ericans, as people, are not apt
in choosing their officials, they
pass the best men by for the poll
tical boss, who makes the loudest
noise or creates the best working
machine.
ot Alton B. Parker, famed as an
attorney, made little noise and
created no machine. He was chos-
en- Democratic presidential candi-
date on a compromise platform by
a convention torn between radi-
calm and conservatism. His nom
ination was handed him while few
knew what his principal ideas
were or what he thought on the
leading questions of the day. He
was known as q capable man well
fitted for the presidency. His
courage was illustrated by the tele-
gram he sent announcing that the
gold standard would be his plat
form-yet he was nominated by
men who were influenced by Bry-
an and his ideas of free silver. His
telegram has been termed the
greatest self-sacrifice a presiden-
