Leadville correspondent of the Chica-
60 Tribune: 'What Is this grub-stake
that hear so much about?r anxiously
writes kentuckian 10 one of the Lead
vile papers. "Where can this instru-
ment be obtained, and what is the cost
Of it?--an inquiry that has sent of the
whole camp in roar Of delight. And
vet 1t is not surprising that the simple
Kentucky person fell into this error, as
the ''grub stake" is essentially an insti-
tuition of the Far West, and is indisso-
lubly associated with mining. There
are not less than 500 men in Leadville
who make living out Of the above
named ssinstrument. All he old min
ers are grub-stakers, except those who
have made lucky strike and can buy
their own grub. To be more definite,
the grub-stake is the result of q union
between capital and labor. Capital
says: II want TO find a good nine at as
little expense as possible;" and Labor
replies: "Furnish me with living, and
i viii undertake TO prospect for you
and TO dig n shaft for You on shares"
1t is fair bargain. The poo, miner
puts in his experience and his muscle,
and receives therefor his board and an
interest in the mine If IL should prove
to be valuable claim. There Is no
rule as to the extent OF that interest; 1t
may be large or small, according to the
contract that Is agreed upon. In gen.
eral, however, Il may be said that the
finder or locator OF q claim Is entitled
to third interest without working. II
he puts his own labor, while another
person furnishes the cash for expenses,
he expects to own half interest. A
miner who Is extremely anxious 10 sink
. shaft on his claim viii sometimes give
two-thirds VI 1t to man who will grub
stake him, and, per contra, there are
many instances where newcomers to
the camp have furnished backing to
miner in consideration Of third or even
Of q quarter interest. But the general
rule Is 10 halve the work and the ex-
pense.
