What this country needs it
not a job for every man, but a
real man for every job.
“Bunk,” observes the Atlanta ’
Georgian, “is always plenti-!
ful.” How true! The public
loves bunk. He who would
completely debunk the present
generation would probably be
mobbed to death and his
estate confiscated by the indi
rect process of boycott; but
posterity would build a monu
ment to his memor \ The
trouble is most of us do not
care to wait on posterity for
our applause.

Show us a place in which the
merchants advertise 100 per
cent and we’ll show you a
good town. A newspaper is the
best index in the world as to
the sort of people that make
up the community in which it
is published. If you see a news
paper well filled with adver
tising, you can bet your life
it’s published in a live town
where the business men and
women are awake and getting
the business. The sign never
fails.

Quite a numl>er of individuu; J
miners are planning to ship i
small batches of ore to outside i
smelters during the fall, j
Others have already dispatch- j
ed shipments ranging from!
five to ten or twelve tons. This j
is one of the most significant
evidences of progress develop
ing in the past year; for it
means that the miners are at
last perceiving the futility of
waiting year after year for
outside capital to develop their
properties and are going ahead
for themselves. This is.a spirit
that deserves the utmost en
couragement and support, for
it spells advancement for the
district.
It has taken local prospectors
a long time to realize that
their opportunities for inter
esting outside capital are mea
ger at best. In the first place
capital for mining develop
ment is none to plentiful; sec
ondly, capital no longer takes
more than cursory interest in
undeveloped properties unless
they display some unusual
merit that sets them apart
from the ordinary run of
prospects. "A million dollars
for a mine, not a dollar for
a prospect,” to quote that
famous old western min
ing veteran, the late Charles
D. Lane, is fast becoming the
motto of the big mining men
of today. The prospector now
adays must be able to show
something more than mere
outcrops with a few pot holes
in them if he hopes to attract
the attention of the class oi
men who are financially able
to develop mines. Many of tht
local prospectors have seem
ingly failed to realize this fact
and beyond scratching around
' a bit on the surface have done
but little real development
work. Their failure has appar
ently been due in many cases
to a belief that the wide ex
tent of their surface showings
i would be a sufficient incent
| ive to the investor, to risk his
| money. Time has proven the
fallacy of this view and it has
| now become plainly apparent
; to at least the more intelligent
miners that they must buckle
down to the business of show
I ing the world that we really
i have the high grade ores we
! have been talking about so
| long by getting some of them
out of the ground. Production
is the kind of advertising the
district needs and must have
to make real progress. A doz
en profitable shipments of ore
from as many properties will
’ do more to convince capital
j that we have the goods than
| anything w«- can do. It is ad
! mittedly a difficult matter for
the average, prospector to un
dertake ore shipments and
those whp. attempt it are en
titled to all the encourage^
ment and assistance we can
; give, even to the extent of
digging down into our jeans
to help them get their ore to
the market. We have talked
for years of our wonderful
mineral riches with little ef
I feet in so far as capital is con
cerned, but we opine that
} smelter returns showing a
{commercial profltwill provide
j an argument that capital will
quickly heed. 4

odd that we usually criticize
