To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by outtyig
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.

An interest inji feature about
I In* coal mini'd al Cambria, Wyo.,
j.s (hat il is claimed I<» he piM
hearing Some oT tli«* coal has
contained as much as per l< n
in gold, and the mal wa> sold for
only $1.50 per Ion. When rokr
made at <'.amhria was selling for
$3.50 per Ion, samples were laken
from HI cars during a period «»I"
throo weeks and assayed. The
samples showed an average «»f
•is2.1 (1 in gold and SO.JH in sil\er.
The explanalion offered for the
presence of gold in I his coal is
that sands which submerged I he
old peal bog and now form the
roof of the coal bed were derived
in pari from the gold-bearing al
luvium. While |1ii> sand was be
ing deposited 'the gold worked
down into the underlying bog
and is now found in the coal.
This is one of the interesting
statements made in a report to be
