CALIFORNIA TUNGSTEN PLACERS1
YIELD RICH RETURNS
J. A. Tompkins has one of the best
equipped tungsten placer mines In this
entire district - He has a lease on the
stringer gravel claims belonging to D.
A. Blue, and his mine Is on the right
batik of the Nugget gulch near the San
ta.-Pc track.
He struck a good thick streak of puy
dirt at a depth of fifty feet and era
ploys four men under ground. He brings
the dirt to the top with a whim and
runs it Into a hopper built above .l e
bank. From the hopper the dirt feeds
into a water sluice run by a small gas
oline engine. The upper end of i lie
sluices Is fitted with amalgam plates to
catch gold and the lower port is fitted
with ripples to catch the tungsten. From
the sluices the waste dirt is carried
Into an ore car the water overflowing
Into a vat from which it is pumped
back into the reservoir tank. The ore
car when full of muck is run oti a
track to the end of the dump and emp
tied.
The slulcer is run by one man and
handles about a ton ol’ dirt an hour.
The pay dirt averages about 6 pounds
of tungsten and V, in gold to the ton.
Mr. Tompkins ruined for several years
in the state of Slnoloa In Mexico and
la a good mechanic as well as an ex
pert miner. Hc-hus also mined In Col
orado and other western states.—Atolin

Advertising
Not An Expense
Advertising Is An
INVESTM NT
Not an Expense, and Should be
Treated as Such
Because it haa been the habit
of some merchants to look upon
it as an expense, A WRONG
VIEW HAS BEEN GAINED.
Perhaps the misconception arose
from the fact that in bookkeep
ing it has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.
ADVERTISING PRODUCES
NEW BUSINESS.IT SWELLS
THE VOLUME OF BUSI
NESS AND PROFIT, THERE
FORE fT IS AN INVEST
MENT.
Only the man who looks upon
advertising as an expense, who
is afraid of it, prejudiced against j
it, loses money in advertising.
The man who treats advertis
ing as an investment and gives it
the attention an investment re
quires—knows that every dollar
rightly invested in this direc
tion yields compound interest—
and more
