IS
The
Time
To advertise. If^ business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money Is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

Superintendent King and Crew of
Men Begin Development of
Claims Near Qlaoier
Krnest King returned last ev
ening from the Pinochle group ol
claims near the glacier, where he
has been for the past two weeks
engaged in preparing to open the
property on a large scale.
With the assistance of a crew
of men Mr. King has packed
large quantity of supplies to the
property, has blasted out a place
for a blacksmtih shop, sacked 15C
sacks of high grade ore taken out
during the previous work,
straightened up the tunnel, and
has extended the tunnel about ten
feet.
The tunnel will be extended
about ten feet further, at which
point it'Will have'reached a dis
tance of 40 feet and attained a
depth of about 30 feet. At this
point a winze will be sunk to a
depth of about 100 feet to deter
mine if the ore continues to that
depth and still carries its values.
The development work so far
has been very encouraging, the
vein steadily widening as the tun
nel progresses, and now shows
fully three feet of ore in the
breast, with values greater than
in the outcropping.
Mr. King brought to town with
him a number of handsome speci
mens of the ore, which will be
shipped out on the Northwestern
to the oflire of the company in
Seattle.

BIG ASSAY FROM
SHIM ORE
Specimen Taken at Random From
Samples From Bessie Group
Runs $1,000 Per Ton
One thousand dollars per ton in
the assay return received Satur
day from a sample of quartz from
the Bessie group of claims in the
Shoup bay district adjoining the
Mayfleld property.
The sample frmn which the
assay was made was taken from
a lead averaging about 14 inches
in width, and was not a picked
specimen, but was taken at ran
dom from a number of specimens
brought to town by Peter Black,
who located the property early
last summer. The ore shows lit
tle gold to the naked eye, but pans
(well and, as the returns show, is
j extremely rich. The greater part
I of the values are in free gold.
"The Bessie property consists of
four claims, tin' Bessie and Bes
Jsie 1, 2 and and were located
Iearly last summer by Peter Black,
who was prospceling under a
; grubstake from Halph Williams
