that was ever shown to the public. It
will couxist of bricks and bars of
real gold, tons of the rich gold quartz,
and many sucks of the richest concen

half a million dollars. This company
will likewise have as part of its ex

gold ore from the Treadwell will be

one of the oldest mines in Alalia,

operation for 25 years and it has pro
duced on an averagi of $2,000,000 in
gold a year, half of which is profit.
The ore In the Treadwell runs very
low In value, not averaging over $2 a
ton and the mine annually takes out
1,000,000 tons of ore. Nowhere in
the world is the economy of mining
practiced so extensive!'. The cost of
mining, milling and operation routs

Diffsrtnc In Lies.
An hngll.Hlimnn who is notorious for
his weird falsehoods returned recently
to his home In Nottingham, England.
from abroad and gave a party In hon
or of the event to his friends. He told
thoiu during the course of the evening
of the wonderful things he had seen
during his travels. Speaking of
rtmrvbes Iu rSpaln, ho said there was
one "a mile and a half long." "Itloss
my heart," said a person present who
knew tietter. "And how broad was
It?" "About ten yards." replied the
traveler. Whereuiioii the questioner
replied iu a whisper to a friend. "Well,
this Is a confounded lie, but It differs
from his other lies, which are general
ly as broad as they are long."
Our Curious Brain.
A wonderful piece of self analysis,
worthy of St. Augustine, which oc
curs In one of John iKmne'B funeral
sermons gives poignant expression to
what must doubtless have been a com
mon condition of so sensitive a brain.

A ormon of tho Curb.
A game of tag waa iu full swing
among half a doxeu little children in
a tenement block east of Second uve
oue. Two at the youngsters were girl
of about aeven. Three were sturdy
boys of about the same age. it was a
remarkable game of tag-renuirkahle
because of the remaining participant.
Thla. too. was a boy. but each leg
from the knee down was Incased iu
Iron bands, and he was absolutely de
pendent upon a pair 01 crutcbea for
locomotion.
No player was more eager than the
little cripple, and not only did he suc
ceed frequently In tagging a sturdy
player,, but It waa surprising to note
bow often he eluded pursuit when an
other was "It.
"Well, you see." saill one of the
little girls In explanation. "If we didn't

A Card Table Romanes.
Speaking of the mania of some so
ciety women for gambling, a story ia
told of an Interesting card playing ro
mance which was enacted some years
ago In Loudon:
A very rich man sat playing ecarte
with a pretty girl whom he Intensely
admired. She went on recklessly stak
ing her money till ruin stared ber in
the face.
"Doubles or quits," said the tempter.
She assented, kuowlng that she could
never pay. She lost.
"Yourself or quits." said her oppo
nent. Again the girl summoned all her wits
and looked blm straight In the fuce.
"Are you proiioslng to marry me?" she
asked.
He nodded.
He won the game, aud the pair made
one of the happiest unions known Iu
England.
Grant and Religion.
Grant's respect for religion was
quite consistent with his high moral
attributes. It has been most truly said
of him that he was never profane or
vulgar. His friends and Intimates inn
bear ample testimony to this commend
able part of his private character. He
had promised his mother never to ut
ter on oath and had faithfully kept bis
word. He could be emphatic enough iu
his conversation, his orders and his
writing to make oaths of any kind en
tirely unnecessary. No one who knew
the man would venture a qnestlounble
story in hla preseuce. On 0110 ocvJon
after a dinner a guest In venturing an
anecdote asked In a furtive way If any
ladles were within hearing. The gen
eral, then president of the United
States, simply replied, "No. but there
are some gentlemen present," and
showed his readiness to leave the
room. Dr. Sbrady In Century.

One day in the spring of 1874 Cap
Smith's freight outfit pulled into Hele

the "mule skinners" to a man re
paired to the combination gambling
house and proceeded to load them
selves. Late In the afternoon Zeb
White, Smith's oldest sk Inner, having
exchanged all of his bard coin for
liquid refreshment, zigzagged Into the
corral, crawled under a wagon aud
went to sleep. After supper Smith,
making his nightly rounds, happened
on the sleeping Zeb.
"Kinder chilly, ain't It?" he asked
after earnestly prodding Zeb with t!
convenient stick.
"I reckon 'tis." Zeb drowsily mum
bled. "Ain't yer 'frald ye'll freeze?"

ADVERTISING MAKES
BUSINESS FOR ALL
Daring the coming year this fact Is
going to be demonstrated once more
in the itoreworld of this town: the
store (no matter bow big or bow lit
tle it is at this moment) that makes
the greatest INCREASE in advertis
ing in efficient advertising ia going
to score the greatest increase in busi
ness, in sales , in profits. There .Is
not a shadow .of doubt about this.
You could tafsly stake all of your
property on the soundness of this
forecast.
Now, io view of the self evident
truth ot the statement, should it not
mean a good deal to you personally?
The logic of the matter will prove
itself for YOU for yenr bnsiuess.
Isn't it a fine thing to aspire to be
the most efficient store advertiser in
town in the next 13 months with the
sure result of GAINING, GROWING
faster, according to present size, than
any other store
To compete iu the lists means that
your advertising no mat'er how good
now must be BETTER, must be
larger, more persistent; must cost
more sometimes "more than yon can
afford" most take its place among
the IMPORTANT things in store
geeplug. The merchant who demonstrates the
truth of this proposition during the
ensuing year will have "learned
things" in that time. He will grow
into an efficient advertiser one who
can take a business enterprise on the
point of his pen and lift it to assured
sncoes". Ex.
