GOOD ADVERTISING CHEAP
The News believes thoroughly
in advertising — and in every
method of good advertising. While
those who have given the subject
intelligent thought acknowledge,
almost without exception, that the
best method is through the med
ium of printers’ ink, still there are
other ways that are very effective.
For a mining camp one of the best
means of advertising is the plac
ing of attractive specimens of ore
where they can be seen by out
side mining men and investors.
This is a feature which Goldfield
has so far practically overlooked
and steps should be taken at the
earliest possible moment to see
that it is attended to. A recent
arrival in camp stated that, before
coming here, he went to the Reno
Chamber of Commerce and found
but one little measly specimen of
ore, in their whole collection,
which came from this great dis
trict. Specimens of our best ore,
labeled with the name of the mine
from which it came and its value
per ton, would be gladly received
by the Reno Chamber of Com
merce and other public institutions
in mining centers and would re
sult in hundreds of dollars’ worth
of advertising at practically no
cost. _
Governor Sparks, in an open
letter addressed “to the people ot
Nevada,” announces that he will
not be a candidate for the United
States'senatorship.
United States Senator New lands
has forwarded his check for $100
in aid of the fund for an eight
hour day in Colorado, wrhich causes
the Miners’ Magazine to remark
that “the public officials of the
State of Nevada seem to be a little
different from Colorado’s brand.”
The Reno Chamber of Com
merce has sent Col. Hopkins to
New York and other Kastern cit
ies to lecture ou the resources of
Nevada and try and induce immi
gration to this State. Nevada is
a state of wonderful possibilities
in its undeveloped resources and
if her citizens will get a wiggle on
and let the outside world know of
them, a bright and glorious future
is a certainty.
An Associated Press dispatch,
dated May ioth, says: “If current
report is true, Charles M. Schwab
will soon sever all official connec
tion with the United States Steel
Corporation and devote himself to
mining and other of his private
enterprises.” Mr. Schwab is a
heavy stockholder in the Tonopah
Extension, at Tonopah; the Has
brouck, at Gold Mountain, and
other mining properties which
promise to become bonanzas. His
recent visit to this section of Ne
vada convinced him, as he ac
knowledged in his speech at the
Mizpah club, that in mining would
be made the bonanza fortunes of
the future.
In a controversy between May
or Turritin of Reno, and the Neva
da State Journal the former charges
Editor Bingham with the author
ship of a sensatioal dispatch to the
San Francisco Examiner. Mr.
Bingham gets back by calling the
Mayor “a cowardly liar who lies
from the very lust of lying.” As to
who was the author of the dispatch
« ‘
referred to, he adds that he does not
know nor does he “care a conti
nental mill dam or even a tinker’s
profanity. ” In winding up his
comments on the matter, the edit
or says: “When the present pro
prietors of the State Journal per
mit themselves to be bulldozed by
any man or set of men into dere
liciion of their journalistic duty
they will make over their print
shop to some person or persons
who have the courage and princi
ple to faithfully perform the duties
incumbent upon men engaged in
the field of journalistic labor.”
At this distance it looks like the
mayor of Reno, smarting under
criticism which was probably de
served, attempted to run a bluff at
a time when bluffs were not work
ing. It is becoming altogether too
common for public officials to im
agine that they are the masters,
not the servants of the people, and
above criticism. They seek to
withhold information regarding
their official actions until it suits
their own pleasure to give it out,
if at all. This stand is untenable
and it istlieduty of the newspaper
to criticise it. The live newspa
perman has a weapon, which, if
rightly used, is practically invinci
ble. Wrongly used, it will fail, as
it should.
Last week Wednesday L C.
Branson launched the third paper
in Tonopah under the title of the
Tonopab Sun. In answer to the
question as to whether or not
there is room for a third paper in
Tonopah, the editor says he will
“try and make room.” Mr. Bran
son is a capable writer and the
Sun is neat typographically.
According to Bradstreet’s, of the
annual failures in the nation 86
per cent, of them are of the men
who do not advertise.
NEVADA AT ST. LOUIS
- .
L. L. Patrick Back From Exposition '
with Cheering Story
(From the Nevada State Journal,)
L. L. Patrick, one of the leasers
of the Combination and January
mines in Goldfield returned yester
day from a trip through the east
where he has been in connection
with the Goldfield and Tonopah
properties. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Patrick, who continued to
Tonopah yesterday morning.
Mr. Patrick in a statement last
evening concerning the Goldfield
properties said that the force of
men working in tne Combination
mine would be imcreased as soon
as he reached the camp and that
the company would immediately
begin the erection of a fifty ton
mill. When the mill is completed
the ore will be extracted and work
ed as quickly as possible.
The large mine owner visited the
St. Louis exposition on the day of
theopening and said that the crowd
present on that day was nearly
twice as large as the crowd at the
opening of the Chicago fair. He
visited at the fair for several days
and took in all of the exhibits that
were prepared, but he said that
few of them were in shape on the
opening day. He visited the Ne
vada buiding, w'hicb was the only
state building completed at the
time. Mr. Patrick gives much
praise to Senator Hardin and
World’s Fair Commissioner James
Yerington for the work they have
accomplished for Nevada at the
Exposition. He spoke very high
ly of Nevada’s exhibit and says it
will be a beauty and thoroughly
advertise the state when complet
ed.
The Tonopah and Goldfield
mining man will remain in Reno
for a couple of days and then con
tinue on to his home in Goldfield.

Be a Booster
No matter where you live, old man,
Or whether up or down,
The best and wisest thing to do
Is boost’er—boost the town.
Other men may jeer and joke. They
May swear you are a clown—
The wisest thing to do, old man,
Is boost’er—boost the town.
Unhappy souls there are, of course.
Long faces and a frown;
But smile, no matter how it goes,
And boost’er—boost the town.
Boost’er when the knockers knock,
Just fight them up and down—
The wisest thing to do, old man.
Is boost’er—boost the town.
