AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
I>evi !o’ m :nt activities on the
Forty Nine provide a pleasing
r o pert that another produc
ing mine will soon help to
swell the district’s mineral out
p it. That is what we need
j induction. Production is the
only kind of advertising that
will w'th certainty bring capi
tal to develop more mines.
Newspaper advertising and lo
cal propaganda may help
some but the advertising that
is most convincing to the fel
lows with money to develop
mines is smelter returns. That
kind of advertising cannot be
discounted like assay returns
and journalistic effusions an
ent "high grade.” The latter
goog well with the jobbites. It
listens I'ke work; but, like ;
the poor there are alwayr j
plenty of the latter around j
and no more are needed un
til the n'-vroll is large enough
t" a’ norb them as they come
We do need capital and tin
' :o effective w.iv to get i
j-. -i b . bv peeper return
that w: have the goods. Tak< I
Texas Creek fo~ example. £ |
f’no field for canitel indeed ;
Wo ;now it. B it capital doer

of " t. of news stories by
rear « f far journals. But le !

of that section make a few
shipments of ore that stands j
up to commercial grade and !
it wiT not be lo lg before the
1 r n. in? investors will take
‘ e You can be sure of it.
7 here is i:o ia)k so convincing
to the m!ning investor as j
‘mieltor returns.
o
Trcl ided araon? the out-!
standing needs of the district
a e more bona fide prospectors
men who know their business
and are equipped to hunt for
new mineral deposits with
purpose an understanding.
A majority of the mineral
locations so far made in the
Salmon River district were
the work of men who, in- a
majority of instances, were
r,„-e*sful in their prospecting
et'fo-'ts merely because of that
f,vum1ant incidence of mineral
•''r o its peculiar to the dis
trict.
One need not be much of a
prospector to discover mineral
hat was actually protruding
‘rom the ground to such ex
tent that the unwary might
'tub a toe and fall over it. In
deed a large portion of the
present locations were made
by those who had never be
fore devoted even a day to
prospecting and were almost
totally unacquainted with min
eral forms. Furthermore it
may be said in all truth that
properties are being located
at the present time by men
who know so little of the
game that they scarcely know
the business end of a pros
oector’s pick and are only
partially cognizant of the
oroper method of locating a
daim.
With a large part of the dis
trict still practically unexplor
ed, there is ample room for
both the genuine and amatuer
prospector to exercise their
activities. Big sections of the
Texas Creek area have never
beard a prospector’s footfall;
he Chickamin section, a short
listance beyond, has been
visited by but few, in spite of
umerous reports of wide dis
emination of minerals. The
■’humb Creek area, less than a
core of miles from Hyder is
in tierra incognita to local
prospectors, few of whom
have even attempted to visit
hat not unremote section,
’’here are also areas of known
nineral land farther down
he Portland Canal which ap
oear well worth the attention
>f those who are looking for
Tuning ground. The discovery
pf stringers of exceedingly
*ich free milling quartz in the
vicinity of Six Mile last year
also suggests that the suppos
edly barren granitic belts out
side of the recognized min
eral areas might be explored
with possibly remunerative re
sults.
Despite the dictum of local
wisacres that "there is nothing
| in the granite," the Six Mile
' find proves that there is at
! least a prospect that their es
timates of the granitic areas
may ultimately be found to be
like those of certain noted
geological experts respecting
ithe Premier. Intelligent pros
! pecting may some day prove
! “the granite” to contain min
eral values greater than the
! “greenstone.”
However, the grnnite aside,
there are possibilities enough
in the proven mineral fields to
warrant far more investigation
than the district has so far re
ceived.
Just For Fun
No editor is as silly as the
linotype sometimes makes him
feel.
Love intoxicates the old and
sobers the young.
Voice: Mary, what are you
doing down there?
Mary: The best I can, father.
The waiter won’t notice that
you tip your soup plate the
wrong way if you tip him the
right way.
The world’s first family argu
ment took place when Eve ad
mitted she was in love with
Ben Davis. 1
The cost of living is like an
! evening gown. Tt looks like it
was going to come down, but
it doesn’t.
“It’s easy to fall in love,”
says Ben Oien,—“Getting out
chere’s the rub.”
BUTCHER BOY BLUES
(According to Mike Murphy)
I never sausage eyes as thine,
And if you’ll butcher your
in mine,
And liver round me every day,
We’ll seek some ham-let far
away,
We’ll meat life’s frown with
love’s caress
And cleaver road to happi
ness.
“They tell of a man who ran
away from home,” says the
Blueberry Kid;
“Kindly neighbors went in to
help out his wife but sym
pathy took a sudden switch
when’they found fifty-two un
washed milk bottles.”
I The prohibition enforcement
program is likely to knock our
president’s economy program
, into a cocked hat.
Many a man is a hero to him
! self without having to work
j hard at it.
Love is a blending of the
1 foolish and the ridiculous—but
j garlic under any other name
I would be as offensive.
“Picnics,” says Eddie Had-1
don “are the most enjoyable to i
those who can take olives and
get away with it.

1! Isn’t it remarkable how some
1 alleged pure minded people
• i can see so much in an entirely
■ respectable joke.
Too many people take ad
vantage of the fact that it isn’t
human to be perfect.
As the lone bottle of Bevo
put it, “I’ve never been drunk,
though I’ve always been near
beer.,,
Entirely too many girls get
married just to keep from be
i coming old maids, says Merl.
“And what do you think of
all this evolution squabble?’’
they asked the daughter-in
law of Charles Darwin.
“I think men are beginning
to make monkeys of them-1
selves.”
There is nothing that can be
added to that.
“Should a guy cut a steak in
1 to pieces before beginning to
eat it, or should he eat it as he
cuts it?” asks a roughneck
friend.
—We think he should cut it
all up first. Then if anyone
tries to snatch it ho can’t get
the whole steak.
A Florida plumber presented
a wealthy Miami man with a,
plumbing bill for $125. But
the man handed the plumber
a dollar and said sternly:
“Receipt that bill of yours in
full.”
“But—” said the plumber.
‘Receipt it in full,” persisted
the man, “I used to be a
plumber myself.”
The plumber gave a start,
took out his gold fountain pen,
receipted the bill in full, and
gave the man thirty-five cents
in change.
A Seattle bank engages a
number of young men during
the summer, and on their sal
ary receipts is printed a legend
something like this:
“Your salary is your personal
business-a confidential mat
. ter- and should not be disclos
ed to anybody else.”
One of the boys in signing
this receipt added: “I won’t
mention it to anybody. I’m
as ashamed of it as you are.
Good bye.”
