that Bryan our months agrf propoaed
to support Mr. Hearst four years hence
in return for Mr. Hearst's support in
this campaign, Mr. Hearst made a state-
ment in which he said:
"I do not see whv Mr. Brvnn ia al

: "When Mr. Bryan came to New York

He did call on me, aa apparently .he had
someinmg to see me aoout.
"I kept his visit secret, but Mr.

'Shortly after I received an Invita
tion from "a friend to' dinner. When I
went to the dinner I found Mr. Bryan
there. After the dinner Mr. Bryan
atepped aside with me in the hall and
said exactly what I said he said.
I wisn ha
surprised and humiliated by the prop
osition. It showpd that Mr. Bryan had
no appreciation or conception of the
work I had done for him or of the
reason I had worked so hard and mailo
ao many sacrifices In the cause. It
showed that he considered ma merely
a trader working for aome personal
advantage or promotion In politics,

IS safe to assume that you get your share of trou
bles, worries, etc., out of life, but are you getting your
full share of pleasure?
f You certainly are not unless you, have a more or less
ready access to. music.
No one questions that music can give pleasureis, in
fact, closely associated with most things we enjoy.
Why don't you take up music then, and add a new
pleasure to your life?
, The Pianola wilJ enable you to do this. It doesn't mat
ter how little you may now know of music, this instru
ment will make a real musician of you. It will bridge
the years ordinarily spent in learning how to play and
usher you at once into the full enjoyment of playing.
It will give you greater technical ability and an in
finitely greater repertory than' any pianist possesses.
And it will show you how to use this skill and this
repertory, so that your playing will give pleasure not
only to yourself, but to all who hear you.

PROSPECT VALUES. This is one of the most promising: prop
erties in the district. Rich ore has been taken out f the adjoining1"
properties on three sides, and for the amount of work done the produc
tion has been wonderful. The vein shows from the surface workings
that the chutes of ore are very close together along the strike of the .
vein. With cheap power at hand and the amount of high grade ore
in sight and indicated by the old workings, together with the fact
that the veins of this mountain have been opened for a depth of 2,180
feet, wherein each instance the surface showings were no better, with
vein structure and geological conditions the ame, has proven beyond
a doubt .that all true fissure veins of this district carry their values to
great depth. v..
The following assays were taken during the last few months, which
will give an idea of the rich ore this vein carries. From the samples
I have taken, and the tests made, it is my opinion that the average
grade of the ore will be over $100 per ton with every indication1 that
it will increase with depth.

CLAIMS AND SITUATION The Village Blacksmith group of
mines are located on the west slope of War Eagle Mountain, H mile
southeast of Silver City, Idaho, and is composed of the following
mining claims: "Village Blacksmith," "New Year," "Village Black
smith Extension' "Vale," "May Day" and "Malheur," covtring 4,000
feet on the old "Mary Blaine" vein, with parallel vein on the west side
about 70 feet distant.
This property is reached from the Oregon Short Line railway by
the Nampa & Owyhee railway to Murphy, thence by wagon road, 20
miles to Silver City, which is centrally located among the mines of the
district.
The Village Blacksmith Mining Company wasorganized February,
1907, and the first meeting of the stockholders was held on March 23,
1907, and directors elected. The production from this property has
been about $200,000 from surface workings. The New Year claim was
known in early days as the Mary Blaine, and from the data that can
be obtained through the express companies and parties who worked
the property the production was over $75,000, with the deepest work
ings less than 100 feet. The Village Blacksmith produced even more
than the New Year claim from surface workings, but owing to the
water, which required pumping machinery to handle, and the high
milling charges at the custom mills, no deep mining was done, and
the property was held by the Prudy estate and OJhers until Mr. Curtis
purchased it in 1898. Before the company was organized Mr. Curtis
had carried on the development in a small way, cleaning out the old
workings in places and opened some of the ore bodies about 70 feet
deeper, which shows one of the rich ore chutes worked on the surface.
DEVELOPMENT. There has been about 400 feet of tunnel run
on the vein in the Village Blacksmith claim that has cut the first
chute of ore about 70 feet deeper than the old workings, and the
tunnel has now reached another chute of ore that is improving in
value as the tunnel is extended.
A 50-foot raise is being made from the old workings to the surface
on the New Year claim that will be used for a shaft through which
exploration of the vein below the old workings will be made. The
vein has been opened along the surface for about 2,000 feet with drifts,
open cuts and shafts, and all these waste dumps contain rich ore scat
tered through them, which show that high grade ore had been ex
tracted from this work.
The general method of ores where depth has increased the silver
values is in concentration and pan amalgamation, making a saving of
over 90 per cent with cost of milling from $2 to $2.50 per ton. In a vein
of this character the cost of mining would not exceed $5 per ton, mak
ing a total cost for production of .$7 JO per ton. Nearly all mining
machinery in the district is run by electric power generated on Snake
river, and owned by the Trade Dl!ar Co- which has reduced the
expenses of production over one-half.
There being a law in the atate of Idaho makin it a felonv for anv nerson who knowintrhr makes or nubliahn in anr wav whatever anr state.
ment which ia false or wilfully exaggerated, we are incorporated under a Jaw which especially protects the Investor.
We have capitalized this company at only 1.500.000 shares, par value $1. There s no preferred stock; all is common aiock and Bon-asse-able.
The small stockholder will be amply protected, and their interest will be watched and ruarded aa ieaVttistv as those of the larire stock

we have only 100,000 shares to go a 25 cents. . i

WHY STOCK IS SOLD. The object in selling stock is for the
purpose of sinking a working shaft 200 feet deeper than the present
level, and in order to do this work it is necessary to put in electric
hoist, air compressor and compressed air drills that this work may be
done at the least possible expense.
When the shaft is completed it is the plan bf the company to install
a stamp mill to treat the ore, and from the amount of rich ere in sight
(with the deeper levela in ore bodies from this new shaft), it is esti
mated that the development will be sufficient to install the mill
The directors hope to-place the company on a. self-supporting" and
dividend paying basis with the proceeds from the sale of 200,000 ;
fharea of treasury stock. This would leave a final capitalization of
1.300.000 shares of stock issued, leaving 200,000 shares in the treasury ;
not issued, as a reserve with no dividend earning power. . -
Ail treasury stock not soM on the day when this property becomes
self-supporting will be at once withdrawn from the market, with a
view to keep the capitalization of the company at as low a figure aa
possible. " " , -
