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 merohant 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.

MIDAS MINE
CLOSES DOWN
Will Confine Work to Develop
ment Awaiting Govern
ment's Action
Tin* miners employed al the Mi
das cropper mine on Solomon
gulch will be discharged for the
present owing to I he order pre
venting the coiupanV from making:
shipments over the military re
serve.
Mr. (irigsby of the company has
taken the matter up with the de
partment at Washington, hut it is
feared that considerable time will
be lost before the. necessary
amount of red tape can be hand
led and permission secured. No
one who is familiar with the sit
uation doubts that the mailer will
be arranged satisfactorily in time
but it may he too late in I he
spring lo permit of much ore be
ing brought down ov<i* the snow
while the trail is gorJl.
The shutdrn\Tr-~Mlj5_ Ihrow fif
teen men out of employment, as
well as making Kdr Wood's teams
idle. The forcjr <of miners em
ployed are sufficient to break all
the ore which the teams could
haul and there is now as much ore
on the dump as can be handled
conveniently. Mr. Devinney is
| much disappointed, as* he has 2ft
| tons of selected ore which he was
anxious to have Irealed as soon
as possible.
The miners will be discharged
with the exception of two or three,
who will be employed in devel
opment work. The tunnel is now
in a distance of 1 2ft feet with com
mercial ore the entire distance. II.
is figured the last 8ft feel of ore
penetrated will average between
15 and 2ft per cent copper in ail- j
dilion to its gold values. The ore
has continued to gain in value
willi the depth of the tunnel and
samples taken from the breasl re
cently show bornile or peacock
copper coming in.
