Beware of Mining Rooms.


 A short tune ago the Colorado pa pers reported great new mineral discovery at a Llace known as Mount Pisgah, ln that State. It was "the richest ever heard of" It was exten- slve too, and it was not the vulgar and tabooed silver, but gold in chlo- ride form, and worth thousands per ton, with boundless thousands ot tons in sight, Of course people went after it-they always do. They went ln 1850 by the thousands after Gold Lake, abandoning diggings that paid an ounce 8 day to the hand. They

"Oh, do please, sir; for pity's sake; do try and find ont where my brother is and relieve my poor mothers breaking heart"
 The above IS the closing paragraph of long letter received by commits sioner Spiegelberg yesterday, and written by Mamie McClinchy. of San Jose, Santa Clara county, California She writes that her brother William was a miner in Pena Blanca five years ago, and that Wm. Edwards, former postmaster there, must know something of him. She last heard of him at Silver City, four years ago. He IS 28 years old. The letter is full of simplicity and tender regard for both the mother, who mourns the absence of her son, and her brother. The newspapers of the southwest will do a most humane act of charity m aiding this young woman in learn ing something of her brother. Let the boys of the craft see what they can do.-New Mexican,

The Helena (M. IT.

The snow lay in great masses on the mountain sides until the late warm weather. and now it comes down in the form of an ava lanche, carrying everything before it stripping bare the sides of the noun talns and filling the ravines with mingled masses of snow, rock and broken timber"

 Those who have spent the savings oi
 years in outfits are swindled. A few
 rascals are benefited and g vast
 amount of misery will ensue.
 Of all men in the world, those who
 follow gold and silver mining are the most incorrigibly gullIble; and they do not seem to improve by exper- fence. Some thirty years ago, halt dozen we'll to do miners read in the papers of a rich gold discovery some where on the Amazon, in either Peru or Bolivia. They too had ounce dig gings, and one of them an sccumu- lation of $85,00O. Without sending an agent to look into the new mines and report, these men raised a con pany of 100 and went ont blindly. They never found mine that paid better than $1 day; but most of them followed the old Spanish route taken three centuries ago by that dEshing adventurer Con gales Pizsr- TO, found graves among the snow banks of the Andes or the sandbars of the Miranon, and of the whole lot only three got back to California, and they renniless and with broken consultations. But they were not cured. They went again to Frazer in 1858 and to Mono still later, with like distressing results. and if any one of the three Is still alive, we have no doubt he is now either on the way to Mount Pisgah or the Occur d'Alene.
 A bird in the hand IS worth two in the bush. Any man who is earn1ng $2 day in tais State, or has 8 fair prospect of earning it at any honest business, had better remalR where he IS than to run the chance of finding ounce, or ten dollar, or nve dollar diggings in these new mines. Ounce do not mean an ounce a day regularly for any length of time. It Is an ounce one day and nothing the next, with the prospects of star vation, rheumatism, rags, pneumonia, disappointment and death in the mine. And yet, good and sensible as this advice is, we feel confident that if Stanley should strike 6 gold mine on the Congo, right ID the heart of the sickliest part of the dark California delegations would be the most numerous and 1 the last to leave.-San Francisco

Low Grade Ore.

In the history of mining oper ations, from it's sOrst inception to thu
 present time, there has been probab
 ly no feature which has had more In fuence upon the determination O. men and capital to different points o interest, than the discovery of ricf ores, and yet 1t is more than prob
 able that the result will show beyond
 the fact of inducing 8 current of de
 veloping fcrces toward certain points
 these discoveries have possessed nc
 marked or permanent value. It will
 doubtless be proven beyond the
 question of doubt, that the most
 important results of the development
 of our mineral resources will come. if
 they have not already come, from
 the steady product of low grade ores.
 If these things are true, of which
 there Is at the present time little
 doubt, 1t IS evident that the fact should be recognized, and that in the wiser plans for the future develop
 ment and establishment of the vast interests of mining upon 8 permsn- ent foundation, this point should be taken into consideration, and the basis of future operations be found ed upon the wisdom which has thus been involved from the wide range of experience. When a question has been thoroughly tested and proven by years of experience under every possible vicissitude and circumstance, and the result in every case is the same, it is certainly absurdly foolish for others to persist in gaining the same experience, at the same cost, to secure the same results, instead of accepting a fact which has been dem onstrated at its point of advance ment.
 If the experience of thousands of men from different parts of the min ing country, wide and diverse ss its character is, has shown that the flu ture value of the mining industry Is to be found in the development of large bodies of low grade ores, then this fact which has been so we'll dem onstrated, should be taken as the basis for the best devised plans for future operations. Capital should accept this conclusion and plan its work from this central point of fact, and thus be better prepared to secure the results sought. In view of the conclusion determined, the discover ies of large or susll bodies of high grade ere should not receive the prominence which they have So far demanded, and the neglected and unappreciated fields of low grade bodies should come more prominent Iy to the front.
 Mining has been prosecuted in this country a sufficient length of time to lose its elements of romance ana be established upon 8 perman ent basis, and until it comes to thls point and its true object is under stood, it must continue to be classed among the speculative and uncer- tain lines of enterprise, and wait un- appreciated and practically unknown until it's true merits, its real value and it's permanent character have been revealed by the faithful endeav or of few practical men in differ ent fields. where results have proven the wisdom of their policy. Pro- ductlOn is the end and am of all operations and expenditures in the field of mining. Anything that goes beyond this one point IS false, iniur- ious, and in the end will prove disadvahtageous, hurtful and disastrous.-Chicago Mining Re- view.

his own house by the back door and
stepped on a short ladder resting against
the fence which divided the two gardens.
Mrs. Waring said: ''Keep back, George;
