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.

er and threo from the latter with
a corresponding number of alter
nates from each precinct.

Mr. Lang's motion that, the

WILL DEVELOP
THE MAYFIELD
Mill Will Not be Put on the Prop
erty Before Next Novem
ber
Mr. M. M. Reese, president and
manager of the Mayfleld Mining
company, returned on the North
western yesterday. He spent a
portion of the winter in Chicago
and has placed sufficient of the
treasury stock of the company to
carry on extensive development
work on Ihe properly this .sum
mer.
He stales Ihal the published re
ports to the effect I hat a mill will
be put on the property this sum
mer is previous. II is the inten
tion of the company lo develop
Ihe mine and block out the ore
before installing any machinery.
The work which will be done this
summer will tell the story of lb?
mine. II was Ihe wish of some
of Ih«' stockholders thai a small
mill might be placed 011 Ihe prop
erly Ibis spring, but as the pro
posed mill site is distant from
Ihe tunnel about 11,300 f«*<»| the
Irani could not be installed in
lime lo lake advantage of Ihe full
season.
Mr. Reese is of the opinion thai
it would have been a mistake lo
put in a small mill as develop
ment work has shown thai il will
require at least a battery of 100
stamps lo handle Ihe ore. The
eompany will have the ground
surveyed Ibis summer and secure
a patent. The foundation for
Ihe mill will also be prepared for
ils erection next fall.

piii1 of Ih«• big gold mint's of
America if judical inns prove I rue
and (lie rerenl slrike on the
properly would indicate llial such
will he I he case. Mr. llcese re
ports that the pay shoot broken
into last week is on a ledge which
does not outcrop on the surface.
The slrike was in No. 2 tunnel and
was encountered at a distance of
180 feel. The survey of the prop
erty indicated that the ledge ap
pearing in No. I tunnel and out
cropping would not he tapped at
less than 230 feet. The tunnel
will be extended and he hopes to
pick tip I he main ledge accord
ing lo the survey. The ledge in
No. 2 tunnel shows ten feel of
ore carrying commercial values
and the recent strike was made
by drifting on the ledge a dis
tance of 10 feel. No assays of
the ore from the strike have been
made, hut Messrs. Dale and Ho
gan, who are driving the tunnel,
report it as identical with that
found in tunnel No. I and on the
surface. Assays from Hie up
per tunnel showed a payslreak
four and one-half feel wide which
averaged $05.00 per ton, and a
general average of $30 per Ion
across the 10-fool face.
If Mr. Heese is correct in his
deductions that the main ledge
has not yet been lapped in the
low»T tunnel the Maytleld will
have a body of ore in sight suf
ficient lo k »ep 100 stamps grind
ing for years. lie feels thai he
has much reason lo be grateful
Io Messrs Dale and lloKan for Ihc
! manner in which Ihey have kept
nt the development of the prop
erly. They have done good work
and Mr. llecse appreciates Iheir
efforts.
