 The maxim of the worlds greatest mining aggregation, as quoted by MT. Haddon, acc curately presents the attitude of practically all present-day mining investors who know their business. They are quite willing to pay "a million for a mine" wherein they know they are practically sure to get a fair return for their money, but consider an unproven pros pect not worth the investment of even one dollar, owing to the certainty that they must spend a large amount in prov ing the value of the property, without the slightest assurance of receiving one penny in re- turn.
 The folly of expecting that the people who develop mines can be induced to pay small fortunes as initial payments on raw prospects must be realized by our property owners if the district is to make progress In the opinion of all who poss- esS a clear view of the local mining situation, the main drawback to development has been the difficult terms and frequently wholly unwarrant- ed price s demanded in the past. And this condition will probably continue until our claim owners appreciate the fact that no one can be expect ed to hand them large sums fol the privilege of developing property and then proceed tc spend a small fortune to find out if the first expenditure was justified.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

The suggestions offered last week by Mir. E. D. Haddon of the Bank of Hyder in his com ments on the Cantu deal, are distinctly timely and deserve the close consideration of not only the prospectors of this region but of all who are inter. ested in local mining develop ment and the welfare of the district.
 AS pointed out by Mir. Had don, the first requisite to early development of the numerous local prospects" or undevel- oped mining claims is closer appreciation of the difficulties of local mining and more CO., operation between claim own CTS and those who seek to de- velop mines.
 MT. IIaddon did not in any degree overshoot the mark in declaring that the terms de manded by local property own- CTS are not such as to attract mining investors or induce in- terest in local development.
 To put it plainly in our own language, the local claim own CTS display too little willing ness to give the prospective de- veloper just and fair bargain in return for his efforts and expenditures and in many in- stances that have come under observation have shown no willingness whatever to take and equal chance with the op- orator on the future of the property. To the casual observ- CT it seems that their attitude is one that savers too much of whole hog or none" policy to incline capital to take an inter- est in their properties.
 Without financial assistance, the prospector, as a rule, can do but little toward developing or opening up his ground. Save in unusual instances, his devel- opment activities must be con- fined to a mere, superficial scratching of the surface and tells little or nothing respect ing the true extent of the ore bodies. The characteristics of the ores below the surface, their underlying dimensions and the depths to which they
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-12-07

go--all matters of supreme im-
 portance to the prospective in-
 vestor-- are seldom resolved
 by the prospector alone and their resolution must depend upon the acquisition of outside capital. In view of this ultimate contingency, it is to the interest of the prospector and claim owner to make every possible effort to induce some one with means to open up their proper ty and determine its value as speedily as possible. But, as in- dicated by MT. Haddon, this is not at all likely to occur if the claim owner insists on large initial payments and exorbitant terms.
 It is indeed, as he succinctly declared, ''unsound business" on the part of mining investors to place themselves in the po- sition of having to make large payments on an undeveloped property before the ground can be opened up sufficiently to determine whether or not the purchaser can reasonably expect a fair return from his investment.
 We do not mean to suggest that the claim owner is not en- titled to good price for his property. He is assuredly entit- led to fair price for his efforts n discovering and locating it. But so also is the purchaser or developer equally entitled to know whether the ground is worth the price asked for it and whether he can expect fair return for his efforts and expenditures in it's develop ment and exploitation. And by no method of reasoning can it be called fair to ask him to pay unjustified prices or to make heavy initial payments while spending large sums to deter mine whether it is worth a for tune or nothing at all.
 The sooner local prospectors realize this and see the wisdom of making their leasing and option terms more in keeping with good business practice, in- stead of attempting to squeeze all they can out of the develop CT at the very start of negoti- ations, that much sooner will they and the country make and achieve prosper

When You Buy
New Stockings

The mere fact that you have paid
a high price for a stocking does not
always mean that it is going to prove
satisfactory. You should be sure that
it exactly suits your type of foot, and
is appropriate for the sort Of wear
that you are going to give it.
+ The woman who is stout or tall uSu-
ally has more trouble with runs in her
stockings than from holes in the toes
or heels. She probably does not meas
ure her stockings when she buys them.
She takes the saleswoman's word for it
that the stockings are of good size.
What might prove to be an excellent
type Of stocking for small woman
would be quite unsuitable for the wom-
an who is large. And certain" excellent
brands of stockings always run smaller
than others. When you find brand
that nils your requirements stick to it..
1t is a good plan always to ask the
saleswoman to examine the stocking
you buy. She does this by putting her
hand through the stocking, looking for
defects in the weave. H. you always
did this you would not have to face the
later embarrassment of finding that
your stockings had runs the first time
you put them on.
/ If you have narrow feet take the pains
to find stockings that are narrow. Often
seamless stockings are wider In the feet
| than those that have seams and for
this reason should not be selected in
advisely by the woman with narrow
feet.
Always examine personally the size
marks on each pair of the, stockings
you buy to make sure that you are get
ting what you ask for.

for light-colored coats with black
dresses.
In the formal afternoon dresses of
net, lace, satin and crepe, which are
not necessarily a partner OF the en-
semble, women like to assert their in
dividuality and select bottle green,
chocolate brown, one of the dahlia
tones. deep plum, which has almost the
density Of black; brilliant red violet or
lighter NATIVE, and vivid cherry.
The dress of the ensemble may be
made up of skirt and long tunic blouse
or the one-piece dress of princess
rnolding. Even the tunic will curve in
at the waistline and may even take on
q flare similar to that of the skirt, of
which 1t will only show a few inches.
A long tunic blouse of white faconne
satin striped in black at the border
dips in back over a black broadcloth
skirt. giving the black-and- white COM
bination of true Partisan chic. An
other long tunic of delicately patterned
metal lame is restrained at the normal
waistline by vertical tuckings and
weighted at the hem by band OF fur.
The treatment Of tunics. as well as
dresses. at the neck is simple. Scarf
and draped collars ending. in the in
evitable bow are often seen. The re-
turn of the feminine is noted here in
the lingerie touches, for If white chit
fon or crepe de chine is not used fol-
these collars. bows, jabots or frill de-
tails. soft tones of pink, pale green
or azure blue are noted.

Benefit Bridge Entertaining

to entertain a table or two even more
than be merely q guest. You may flnd
that you can make quite a lot Of money
for your organization by selling tickets.
But If you are going to ask your
friends to buy tickets be sure that you
ask those to whom an afternoon of
bridge is worth q dollar. Some women
feel that q paid-for party is worse
than no party at all.
At Q benefit bridge it is possible, too,
to repay indebtedness to a wider circle
OF your friends than by perhaps any
other type Of entertainment.
Women who belong to various church
and neighborhood clubs and have pom
dered the problem Of entertaining
friends unacQuainted with each other
will find the spirit of q party for charity
admirably suited to their needs. Con-
geniality breeds swiftly at a large gath
ering of this kind
Think of the advantages Of entertain
ing your friends by this method-no
wild shopping after prizes, no hurrying
about getting refreshments, no serving
refreshments, no scramble to borrow
enough card tables, no last-minute rush
to get dressed, no getting the house
ready. no dishes to wash, no straighten-
ing up!
The disadvantage is mostly the lack
OF the personal touch that one feels in
being entertained in a home-the lack
Of feeling that care has been taken and
time spent In getting the party ready
and in seeing that you have had O good
time. But for certain times when you
are busy and certain friends who like
big parties, nothing is easier and pleas
anter than to do your entertaining a., =

Shoes and Stockings
Link With Dresses

The shoes should match the hat, the
handbag, or the dominant tone of
the costume. With black, black footgear
is always worn. With brown. green, red
and blue, shoes in the very dark shades
Of these colors, may be chosen, or you
may wear black shoes If black can be
linked in the ensemble, as it generally
can. For the street, the four-eyelet
oxford with the one and three quarter
to two and one-half inch built-up
leather heel is the newest in combina-
tons Of kid or suede and reptile.
The one-strap shoe is q popular
choice for daytime wear, but for after
noon the pump Is smarter. The gown
will determine the choice of evening
slippers which may be Of tinted lame
of MORE, which is newer than crepe de
chine, or of a combination of MORE and
crepe de chine, and they will be dyed
to match the frock.
Daytime stockings should be fairly
dark, ranging from a medium brown or
neutral beige through the darker tones
to dark gunmetal, which is excellent
with black or a dark taupe. which is
recommended for blue. green, brown
and red costumes. With evening slip
pers the skin tones are preferred. or
the very dark tones, such as taupe or
Runmetal.

blue color combinations, and sometimes
green may be combined with blue. II
you choose beige for your coat 1t may
be used with almost any other color
save gray.
It Is an interesting fact that while
silks and satinS were once looked upon
as materials for women of wealth and
leisure, the great majority OF women
working in stores and offices now wear
silk for every day and satin crepe is
one of the most practical Of all ma
terials that can be chosen for ONCE
wear. This Winter we shall doubtless
see more wooden ONCE dresses. because
fine wool Jersey and wool crepe have
come into fashionable prominence, and
many Of these light wool materials are
not excessively warm.
" n
Tor the woman who works in store
or shop where black apparel is
prescribed there is nothing smarter
than black satin crepe dress made to
be worn with detachable lingerie collar
and cuffs or vestee of lace, fine null or
georgette. The longer skirt Of the sea-
son adds elegance and grace to this
one-piece black dress. The careful adj
iustment Of sleeves and shoulders and
the trim draping of the material at the
waistline and over the hips lift dress
of this sort out Of the realm Of the
ordinary.
For Office wear there is much to be
said in favor of the one-piece dress, and
just as much to be said in favor of the
separate skirt and blouse, possibly with
jacket or cardigan.
II the one-piece dress is worn with
detachable. washable collars and cuffs
it can be kept fresh in fact as in ap-
pearance-but there is no Office outflt
that gives one quite the sense of per-
petual freshness as that consisting of
skirt and jacket to be worn with wash
able light silk or linen blouse.
Separate' blouSes may be bought for
little or may be made for even less, and
this season it is possible to buy attrac-
tive jacket suits for a most reasonable
price. Those Of jersey in a tweedlike
mixture of brown and beige. blue and
gray, black and white or gray, or wood
violet and buff are especially good at
the present time.

Hostess Has Many Ways
in Which She Can
Make Use of Such
Events with Pleasing
Results.

A benefit bridge is one of the easiest
ways to make money for an organ1za-
ton and it Is also one OF the easiest
ways Of entertaining your friends.
So 10 your college is planning a
bridge affair, you can Immediately lay
plans to have a three or four table
bridge party In q space large enough
TO hold YOU and without having any
thought for the refreshments, prizes
and all that sort of thing. II you
arrange to buy" four tables. you will
probably be able to pay back" a lot
of parties at one time and you can
arrange the rotation at your own
tables to please yourself.
OF course you will have to pay from
two to five dollars a table and that
may be more than you had planned to
spend. In that case you could buy Just
one table or two. Then do the same at
the next benefit at which you are ex-
pected to be present. If you have a
small apartment and no maid to help
you serve, you will find such a plan an
excellent way Of doing some Of your
entertaining.
But suppose you would like to help
your college or your club and are .
may still arrange to I'LL several tables
with your friends, but you should ask
people who love parties and who would
just as soon as not pay q dollar to play
bridge with a lot of congenial people.
II this is your plan be sure that the
women you ask understand that they
are helping in the benefit and are not
guests of yours. If you mention the
club that is arranging the benefit and
say that 1t wants to raise so much
money and the tickets are 4 dollar
and you'd just love to have this par
ticular friend II she'd care to help, she
will know that she Is expected to leave
dollar some time before she comes
back. You might even ask her II she'd
care to buy q whole table and bring
three friends. Perhaps she would like

~ RESS problems of the business
woman differ radically from
those Of the woman at home,
- just as those of the girl at
college differ from the prob
lens of the debutante whose date book
Is crowded with social engagements.
Yet the same fashions hold good for all
classes, and nowadays there is little to
indicate in q woman'S appearance TO
the casual observer whether she works
at home or IN an office or doesn't actu-
ally work at all.
The busy housewife likes to feel that
when she dresses for shopping or lunch
con in town she looks as smart and trim
as the business women Of her acquaint-
ance, and the business woman f1atters
herself that she can be appropriately
dressed for business and still look as
feminine and individual as her married,
'' For the majority Of business women
the dress problem is simpler than for
most married women, and for the
younger girls who work the problem OF
buying clothes Is a simpler one than 1t
Is for the majority Of girls at home or
in college, for the reason that girls and
women who work usually have rela-
lively more to spend on dress than those
who do not. 1t frequently happens that

ing girl, but now we have cause to
marvel at the good appearance of the
poor little girl who doesn't work. There
are, however, numerous business Wom-
en- whose home obligations are such that
they must strictly limit the amount to
be spent on dress. There are older
women in every office, school and store
whose positions require well groomeo,
smart appearance, yet who as q matter
Of fact are free to spend considerably
less on their own dress than younger
women whose actual income Is much
less.
For the business woman 1t is an ex-
cellent plan to settle on some one pre-
dominant color scheme for the entire
season and this color should be deter
mined at this time of year by the VIM
ter coat. If your coat is brown the
| possible color for dresses is best limited
to browns, beige, green with brown or
beige and black with brown, which is
very good this season. If your coat is
dark blue your possible color schemes
are various blending blues, blue and
beige. blue and gray, blue and black,
gray or beige alone. Red or orange are
often effectively used With these various
