Could the scattered and broken
threads which formed the warp and
woof Of many prospector's history be
gathered together and united, romances
without number could be woven which
would rival the most famous novelist.
Three years ago Mr.. NJ. Dunkin loca-
ted At Leadville the mine which still
bears his name. He was poor, but he
worked faithfully and hard in hopes
that he would strike mineral, but his
money gave out and he sold Lis inter-
est for f2,3oo. The purchasers after
expending quite large sum in sinking
another shaft on the property which
failed to disclose mineral. returned to
that in which Mr.. Dunkin had buried
his hopes, and in sinking seven feet
farther struck pay ore. The mine was
hold I year later for 37s,ooo. Incidents
Of this kind, have also transpued in
the Tin Cup district. We know Of a
miner that sold 4 good-looking pros
pect fora burro, and in less than three
months after $1,000 was refused for q
half interest. Our own self was once
offered = fourth in = claim for Sa5,-
the owner being busted '-and for
which claim $500. 900 was rendered
and refused last summer. We could
cite other instances. -Ts Cxp Retsra.

A great drawback to the sale an(

A great drawback to the sale and
development of many of our valuable
prospects is the fact that large ma
jority Of our miners and prospect ors
mistake prospects for mines, and ask
prices for prospects that ought to buy
well.developed properties. The pros
pector or discoverer, as rule, is un-
able to develop the claim himself and
he asks such a fabulous price for it,
that no intelligent capitals will venture
to invest in it, and by this means many
prospects that only need to be devel.
oped to be good paving mines, are
lying idle and neglected with just
enough work done on them,t TO prevent
them from being jumped. In this way
much of our most valuable mining ter
ritory lies undeveloped and unproduc-
tive.
We know large number of good
claims that are lying idle for this rea.
son alone, and the district in which
these unworked claims lie, must suffer
the consequence by not having its
mines developed. If our prospcctors
could be shown their mistake, they
might profit by it and sell out for a
handsome competence. and the claim
would be developed and the unproduc-
tiveprospect transformed into paying
mine.-Lea1wWt Democrat.
