CAPITAL WANTS RUN
FOR ITS MONEY
(From The Alaska Weekly)
What concessions should be
made by the prospector to the
capitalist for furnishing funds
has long been a topic of fre- i
quent and heated debate. This
question was discussed recent
ly and squarely answered by
the head of one of the largest
smelting companies, an organ
ization that has encouraged
aggressive development in
many mining camps.
“Smelting companies, finan
cing development w’ork,” ex
plains this operator, “ are in
terested in any hole being put
in the ground by a prospector. !
Every prospect is a potential
mine. If a tunnel, or a shaft i
does not find an ore body, the
work is not wasted because ,
knowledge may be secured
that may be helpful in discov
ering mines in other places.
Before a major smelting
company will undertake the i
development of any property,!
four qualifications must be
met, namely: First, the format
ion must be right. That is, there
must be a horizon that in other
camps has been largely pro
ductive. Secondly, the ground
must lie in a mineralized area.
A chance to prospect in a reg
ion where there is no mineral-;
ization indicated would be no
inducement at all. Third,
structural conditions must be
right. That is, the formation
must be cut by well defined
fissures that would be conduct
ors for mineral solutions; and
fourth, and equally if not more
important, preparation of the
formation by faulting, or strat
ification, thrusting or other
conditions must be adequate in
order that solutions can ac
complish the maximum amount
of mineralization.
“Now, as to financial require
ments: No level-headed busi
ness man will go into a district
and pay the holders of land,
who may have done but little
to prospect their ground, for
the privilege of spending his
money, and tak6 the chance of.
getting nothing but experience !
in return. He must have a run
for his money, or the proposit
ion will be neither a business
or a sporting risk.
“If we can get the ideal geo
logical set-up and an acreage
covering the heart of the min
eralized area, we must first be
guaranteed that all of the mon
ey goes into the ground for de
velopment; second, that the
first money made from the
shipment of ore goes to pay off
the investment, and third, that
the remaining gain will be di
vided so as to pay a fair prem
ium for the risk of the under
taking.”
KNOW THEIR BUSINESS
“We have a bureau whose
duty it is to read each week
tho country newspapers from
all over the country. There is ;
not a paper of any consequence
in our trade territory that our
bureau does not get. This bu
ieau looks over ttyese papers
and when we find a town j
where the merchants are not (
advertising in the local paper ]
we immediately flood that ter
ritory with our literature. It al
ways brings results far in ex
cess of the same effort put
forth in territory where the lo
ral merchants use their local
papers,” said the advertising!
manager of a large mail order
house recently.
With tjiis sort of testimony
taring country merchants in
the face all the time, who can
blame newspaper men for get
ting a bit impatient at them
when they fail to take advan
tage of their opportunities?
And yet, country merchants
continue to sidestep it, and
try some “schemes” of some
sort, and generally finish with
a declaration that “advertise
ing doesn’t pay,” and blame all
of their misfortunes on the
mail order houses.
Country merchants should
make advertising a real part of
their business and give it real
1 i
ittention, as the mail order
louses do.
Just for Fun
People generally save a few
cuss words for a rainy day.
People who won’t stop at any-;
thing should never drive autos.
Habitual silence isn’t proof of
wisdom, however, unless he is
a married man.
As life draws to a close some
men take up religion; and
some take up golf.
You can be an idealist, how
ever, without slipping the other
fellow all the aces.
The first essential for becom
ing a young intellectual is an
allowance from dad.
The “charming naturalness”
we like in a girl often costs her
many weary hours of practice.
It is estimated that 98.7 per
cent of the critics of Christian
ity never have tried it.
In Italy they are digging for
a buried village. We know
where they can find a dead
one without digging.
Rastus: “Ain’t you-all ’tendin’
de revival meetin’s? Sambo:
“Not till Ah done back-slid
some mo.’
Another economy effected by
matrimony is the saving on
novels dealing with red-hot
love.
When a woman goes in and
asks for powder these days the
clerk says, “Face, baking 01
gun?”
It develops that there are not
near so many bow-legged girls
in the world as was at one
time popularly supposed.
A single wire, say the radio
experts, makes the best aerial.
And a single gossip, we say,
makes the best broadcaster.
The train came to a stop. A
traveler stuck his head out ol
the window, called to a boy
standing or. the platform:
“Here, boy, bring me a sand
wich. And here’s another dime
get one for yourself.’’
Just as the train started, the
boy returned, munching a
sandwich, handed the man a
! dime and shouted: “Here’s
PARADISE .
Oh I’d like to be a hermit on
a tiny tropic isle, where the
soothing breezes murmur and a
tan’s the only style; where you
feast upon bananas, when they
ripen near at hand, and the to
1 tal population is the bushes,
j you, and sand. Where the only
occupation is to sit beneath a
tree and to count the bound
ing billows as they form upon
the sea, or to watch the clouds
adrifting and to make a rough
surmise on the number, shape
and color of the ones in other
I skies. If the place is in exist
ence I am sure beyond a doubt
some dynamic real estater has
the whole thing plotted out,
and he’s covered it with bill
boards saying “Live in Para
dise,” “All Arranged for
Monthly Payments;,” “Come
and See About the Price.”

love. We will try to find the
depth of love at this service.
