ore went into the tailings. Under
such circumstance it was no wonder
that they came to the conclusion that
mining did not pay and the quicker
they stopped the better OF they would
be. The Congo company, which was
practically Hudson & Desseret, con-
tracted with Hickey & Thompson for
their group ofmines agreeing to put
up mills Of certain capacity and to
give In payment for the mines a pro-
portion Of the stock OF the company.
They put up only one Of the two mills
agreed on before they stopped work.
The LIBERAL Is sorry TO see a pros
pector, who has worked long to get his
property In q marketable shape, and
who has at last gotta customer on an
excellent milling proposition for both
sides, meet with disappointment, It is
sorry tosee a man como out here from
the east, invest money IN a legitimate
enterprise and not meet with success,
but when both the prospector and the
investor Will permit such mistakes as
were made in this case, its sympathy
is really due to the owners Of other
properties in the camp who are hurt
by such a failure.
Miners are often disappointed on
their returns when they send ore to a
smelter. 1t does not, as a general
thing, run nearly.ras high as they
Thought It would. When they get out
and make a kick over the returns Che
smelter men blandy tell them that a
man cannot sample his ore on the
dump nor by loading it into a car, it
must go through a regular sampling
process, and that can only be secured
at a smelter or a sampling works, in
either of which places the work is
done by machinery and there is no
chance for making a mistake. The
miners of this vicinity have been
forced to take this, explanation, for
they had no means Of disproving the
statement, although most of them be-
lieved thereswas a way of handspring
the sampling machine. Some months
ago a miner shipped a carload of ore to
the international smelter at El Paso,
the ore was sampled, by the automatic
sampler of course, and the .smelter
people returned a value Of twenty
three dollars per ton. Before the ore
was either worked or paid for came

pie to get on their feet and at last con.

or course the sampling was correct in
both cases and the only explanation
