A lot of i The special song by Mrs. Floyd truth in that statement, friends. We have been told 'Vhite was a real treat for us all. you can’t do it; it won’t work; smarter men than you Our Wednesday night Bible have tried it and failed—Yet no one has fiven us a tudies on Personal Evangelism definite reason why it can’t be done. Just because it re being enjoyed by all who at- hasn’t been done as yet, is no reason why it can’t be end, and we are proud of the at- endance which is usually 15 or done, and this newspaner is going to continue the more. dft _ _____ , fight until IT IS DONE. And now we thoroughly believe that the struggle is over. R. C. Merrill, general manager of the Prec ious Metals Recovery and Smelting Co., of Seattle, and his associate, W. F. Carff, have been in the valley for several days, and we believe what they are telling us—They are going to bring a smelter and locate in the valley, and we believe the smelter will be here for our Jubilee and it will be up and working so they can demonstrate every operation for the benefit of all the miners who attend our great celebration. Seeing is believing—Mr. Merrill wants the miners to bring their concentrates to the Jubilee and shoot them through the mill and see what the result will be —See for yourself. Nothing “hokus-pokus” about that, just a plain business deal, if you like it, keep on using it, if you don’t like it, there is nothing to com pel one to keep on shooting ore through the mill. We are convinced that the results are going to be so stupendous that the miners would almost be will ing to kiss the owners of the mill. For this is going to give them a chance to work and work hard and get paid immediately for their labor, and at the same time, II’’ they have a mine, now they can prove it, for with the smelter in operation, properties can be de veloped, which has been the stumbling block up until now. Transportation and the uncertainties of re sults have made mining, quartz, almost impossible, and has made placer mining only partial successful. But NOW—With a smelter in our own back yard that will save more gold than has been nossible here tofore, with the added advantage of getting your money right now—no delay, right now, just as soon as your stuff goes through the mill, and it won’t take long to run a ton through, your money is given to you immediately. With this sort of a setup, we surely believe the miners of the district will take every advantage of fered them and will start work as they have never done before, especially the placer miners who can throw enough concentrates into this mill to make it operate 21 hours a day if they will. The Athey Brothers came into this valley with the Illinois Valley News with the intention of doing everything in their power to further the develop ment, both mineral and agricultural, of the richest valley in the world. We are proud of the fact that we have had some success in interesting Mr. Merrill and his company to locate here. We have given and offered everything; we have to further and encour age their locating in the valley, fully realizing that a mill was tin* solution, and until we had a mill, we could not hope to develop our mineral resources. Now we not only have the best prospects in the world of gett ng a mill, but a smelter on top of it and with this type of machinery the values in our mineral deposits will be greatly enhanced ami the hard work ing miner can realize more for his efforts. It has never been our desire to create false hopes for anything, and if we did not thoroughly believe that this smelter was an assured fact, we could easily keep our trap shut and say nothing, Init our belief in Mr. Merrill ami his associates is jo strong, that wc are speaking out loud, just as loud as we know how. and are saying that this t ian has “I I',’’ mineralogy speaking, when it comes to saving gold from concen trates, and if then1 are any other prec’otis metals lurking around, we lielieve he is perfectly capable of saving some of them. With this intense belief, we are asking you miners to go along with us and give this smelter every opportunity to demonstrate what it can do. and we are sure you will not be sorry that you played ball with us. 'I'he opportunity is here knocking at the door. Let’s give it the biggest welcome we know how. COMING EVENTS Coining, a Revival meeting, zith a real live Evangelist to do he preaching.

Pastor, “The Little Church with the Big Welcome.” MAMMA BEAR TREES FOREST GUARD I-asi week Paul Fattig, of the Redwood Ranger station, came upon a black bear cub while rid ing up the Bald mountain trail to inspect the lookout. The bear went up a tree. Now Paul is a lover of wild life and thought that a picture of this cub would be well worth while; so he tied his horse and took up the tree after the small black bear of fur. Up went the cub 00 feet and Everything Paul right after it. went fine until he caught up and put u rope on little bear who began to cry for mamma. Paul states that mamma could have heard the cry for a mile and so she did for it wasn’t long be fore down the hillside came a big brown mother followed by anoth er cub—a brown one. Well, it didn’t take mother long to locate her crying baby and she immediately raised the hair on her back, put back her ears, and started up the tree to rescue her black twin. Sixty feet is a long way to jump, and 300 pounds of mad bear is something to be feared, so as the perspiration began to pour out, Paul had to do a lot of quick thinking. He looked down at his horse fighting to get away and wished he had “old Batsy,” bis 44 six gun—but no! and he didn't have wings either. Well, anyway there was still a few feet of tree to go up so he pushed the cub down into its mother’s arms and proceeded on up to the very smallest limbs. Then came long minutes of wait ing for the mother and cub to climb on down the tree. It is said that an old mother bear will give her cub a spanking for associating with such strang ers but Paul didn't wait to see. The bear story was reversed when Lloyd Hayes, forest guard at Cedar Guard station on Gray- back creek, met a wild cat with two kittens on the Lake Moun tain trail. The old mother cat put her kittens up a tree for safe ty ami decided to make her stand. However, she lost her nerve and left the children up the tree. Lloyd climbed up the tree and killed them with the compass staff he was carrying, He is still regretting not having had a cam- era. ------------- o------------- NON-DENOMINATION AL Cave City Sunday School and church ser vices at Legion hall, Cave City ■very Sunday.
