IT'S TIME TO SWEAR OFF
P&lronlxln Every Fake
Comes Along.
Thai
An artist iu the fake line apisared
at the comer of Front aud Sixth
streets last Thursday and by a series
of jokes and fool nonsense gathered a
((liable crowd around hiui and pro
ceeded to give his views of advertis
ing iu which bo stated that it was
only necessary to make people talk
about you to advertisa your buisuess
aud tint newspaper advertising did
him no good. Judging from the
newspaper comment all bIouk the
lino regarding this fellow, nF ; aper
advertising would not help hint. He
produced what purported to bo an
electric licit, with wonderful powers,
and told of Its healing qaulities. It
was the same old story of hoping to
get something' for nothing, and wind
ing up with getting nothing for some
thing. He did a brisk business hand
ing out belts and taking iu dollars
ai d now belts aru cheap, iuoso who
were gulled, probably sworo off the
uext day.
Another fakir tried to work the
crowd but with small success.
This incident reminds us of the way
soma of our business men will iiurt
with their coin when they are ap
proached by un out-of-town ad ma'i
with any kind of an advertising
scheme.

creek is nearly ready to launch, andl1 ' ' '
when launched the work of installing
the machinery will be commenced.
It is expected that the work will be
completed and' the dredger rlrdy for
operation about March 1.
The firm of Champliu & Co.
posed of F. L. Champlin,
Christian and M. M. Mc
formerly of Chicago, but for the past
seven or eight j'ears they have boon
actively engaged in dredger mining
at Rnnnock, Montana, operating two
dredgets, one of 2000 yards capacity
operated by electricity and the other
a 2300 yard machine operated by
steam.
These pentlemen became interested
in Foots creek last spring aud bought
the Lance property, paying IM.IKK)
for 1 00 acres. They have also purchas
ed about 600 acres besides, which
makes them the exclusive owners of
proiicrty along both sides of Foots
creek from its mouth to the Ruble
mine.
Thorough prospect work was done
and 30 or more prospects holes sank
hy a keyhole drilling machine aiross
the old channel which is 1000 feet
wide. This is virgin soil as far as
mining operations are concerned as
heretofore only ground sluicing lias
been done and no bed reck has been
exposed.
Tho company commenced its opera
tions by tho bnilding of a dam across
the lower end of the natural basin.
This dam is 20x800 feet and is intend
ed to form a reservoir to float the
dredge when It is completed.
The dredge itself is 1 12,' feet long
and feet wide aud will be equipped
with two boilers each weighing 12
tons, engines and other necessary
machinery. The -jlovator will be
equipped with 40 buckets each bucket
and link weighing one ton and with
a capacity of eight cubic fuel. Willi
this elevator they will be able to dig
to a depth of 80 feet although the es
timated depth necessary to go is DO
feet. The engines will be powerful
enough to dig up the bedrock itself,
which is a blue porphyry.
At present, there aro 60 men work
ing, a large number being engaged in
cutting wood. Already 1500 coids of
wood have been cut When the
dredge is in opcratiou, it will require
from 13 to 15 cords of wood every 24
hours.
It is estimated that th company
has enough ground to keep the dredge
in oixratiou from 10 to 15 years.
The machinery is being shipped
from Chicago aud already two car
loads have arrived. There will be iu
all about 12 carloads of machinery.
M. A. Wertz has been engaged to
huirl the machinery from Gold Hill to
tho mine and left Mouday with three
four horse teams. SKicial trucks with
12-ilich tire ! 4 inch steel aalrs are
provided for hauling the heavy pieces.
