The news of the new disclosures-iCottonwood and Bullion canyons on the Marysvale side of the hills is more than gratifying to every resident of this section. If these strikes are as great as reports indicate, it means a new era for Piute county. The Clyde strike is said to consist of the discovery of an immense copper carrying high metallic values. While it is known that there is more or less copper in these hills, yet the red metal has been subordinated in the search for gold. In every instance gold has predominated. There float and have been discove:-iei.-othat seemed to indicate that the Baldy belt was one immense deposit of the yellow metal. Miners and prospectors, accordingly, have concentrated their efforts looking for that metal. With the discoveries in Cottonwood a new impetus will be given. It means looking for mineral wealth in another direction, and it may prove that in whiling away time looking for gold the Baldy belt has been neglected in that copper has, after all, been the dominant metal. It all goes to show that the Baldy belt is the greatest in Utah. This is not said as an assumption, but is based on facts. In every instance where there has been careful, systematic work, the results have been more than gratifying. But the trouble is that the work generally done has It has been not been systematic. "gophering here and gouging there until tfie mountains looked as if millions of gophers or badgers had been at work. The newest disclosures should teach those interested in this section that they should keep their eyes open, also that they should work systematically. They should not let their fancies run riot, either. If the disclosures made are permanent and true, it will be time to begin shouting. Premature jubilation and publishing facts to the world that cannot be substantiated will have a greater tendency to hold back this section than anything else. Conservatism is by far the better course. It were much better to be assured that the new finds are capable of being exploited: that they will bear Investigation, before whooping things up too much. Capital does not like immature cries; it wants to be fully satisfied that everything emanating fiom this section can be relied this on. When that time comes, country down here can stand the fullest investigation: when the owner of .every little, tacky prospect is not led astray by false hopes, thus falsely luring the investigator on, when every claim can be made good, then this section will move right along to the front, and nothing in the world can hold it back. n ore-zon- e, t S' f THE PANAMA Remarkable CANAL. progress is being made in the eicavation of the Panama canal and the reports for August show that of the entire amount of excavation has been completed, and in some respects it has been the most difficult tenth. So great was the excavation for that month, exceeding that of any previous month, that the president cabled congratulations to Goethals, the engineer officer in charge, and his coprs of assistants. There was a total rainfall of 11.89 inches along the line of the canal in August, and yet the great force employed managed to take out 1,274.404 cubic yards of material, as against one-tent- h Col-n- cubic yards in July.

The Stockton Sentinel." , That the mail order business must be one of the most successful enterprises of the day is indicated in the figures given in relation to the money mall order houses spend for advertising alone. Experts estimate that more than one hundred millions of dollars was spent in general and mail order advertising last year. Heres the way they figure: Twenty millions of dollars worth of business was placed by the seven leading and largest agencies. .The remaining eighty millions were placed by the other five hundred and forty agencies (or an aver- age of one hundred and forty thousand dollars each agency) and certain large advertisers who place their advertising direct. Altogether some five thousand advertisers signed the checks for this one hundred millions of dollars. The present population of this country Is In the neighborhood of eighty-fiv- e millions. Therefore on this basis of population $1.16 was spent on each individual in this country in general and mail order advertising (known as foreign advertising) in the last year. Such figures are staggering. But it indicates one thing clearly: that if the mail order houses and general advertisers spend one hundred million dollars a year in printers ink, they must do so because they get results. In other words, the advertiser realizes the value of advertising else he would not invest his money. But it also indicates that the mail order house must consider advertising a good investment. Through lurid and attractive ads he attracts the buyer, and of the millions spent for advertising not one dollar will probably go to the town of the people sending out the sums that these figures call for. Advertising is simply a part of the expenses of the mail order house. Therefore It must get back, not alone the money spent in advertising, catalogues and the like, but it must pay .for help, license, where the place J.O NO. 11)07. 41). who aie marled in their employ, thusi the single men will be discharged. Now many of these men belong to the lawless element, and that the west may have more or less of a menace to confront is no idle speculation. Ot course many of them will find employment in this and other states; some will come down to go prospecting, while others will no doubt seek employment in other lines. , Every mine owner who needs men will thus have an opportunity of getting helix It wif give the coal mines a chance to get a great many more miners. Taking it altogether this reduction of force in Butte may result to the advantage of Utah in many ways. We have a large state and many people, and there is always room for many more. It is to be hoped that the lawless element will shun Utah and that only the best will come.
