now TO BUY A MINE.

Tho Rulc Observed by the Heaviest
Operators.
Ono of the most frequent questions askeo
by persons seeking to make investments IN
mining il what kind of a mine would you
advise US to buy? Such u question ia dlitl-
emit to answer, says the Denver Mining
Industry. They expect to find good mines
ut fair prices, when almost always the own
era want Two or three times the actu"'
value of the property offered, and TINS taet
prevents the beginning OF negos'"'1ons'
The great foolishness of investors 10 20 al
WAYS ask for paying mines, and expect TO
cst them at their value. The mon who
know it's worth a little better thah
anyone else, and don't care to sell for
its actual value. A good income II very apps
to make ito recipient quite ndeDenoent
and give him a rather exaggerated luea OF
the value of the business that proVloes H.
estimating it. Then. too. it is SO dlfhcult
to arrive n the actual worth Of a mime
and mon are so likely to be optlrnlsts about
mines-that tie owner has every tempta-
ton to put the price very hiRh In the nope
or expectation that the purchaser ana ms
experts will not rate 1t lower. Al! me IN,
fuences are pretty certain to put the price
100 high, and the rule 10 that the buyer OF
a developed, paying mine, pays too dearly
for his whistle.
W. ask such people whether they can do
better than to follow the example of the
worlds most successful and experienced
mining men. Are you a 'tendsrtoot'
ignorant of mining, visor than such men as
Hapein, Tsvis, Senator Jonee, DAILY. Mofat,
tho late Senator Hurst and others? These
men have all made millions in mining, and
can You improve upon their plan OF opera
tions? They do not buy dsvelo9ed mines.
They buy prospects or partially developed
mines, and by expanding money IN their
development make them divldend-payers.
n tremendously increase the value OF
their investments. In such properties as
they buy one can find an occasional good
bargain. They are not plentiful, however,
but there ara some to be obtained. .
Every prospect does not have an equal
chance to make q good or big mine. any
more than every colt has All equal chance
to be a Maud S. Nor is the ability to de-
eide upon the probabilities of a prospect
making a great mine, or a colt making a
record breaker, possessed in an equat
degree by svery person. In every mining
camp one can find practical miners who
will declare that any chosen prospect Will
make a good mine whom developed; and so,
too, everv stable boy and farm laborer on
the stock farm has favorites among the
colts that he is sure will make record
breakers, though events prove them only
fit for work. But a purchase of either a
prospect or colt, which is wisely selected
and wisely handled after selection, is Ger
tain to be very profitable. In following
this rule in making investments one can be
sure he ia following in q track that is good.
1t has the sanction Of experience and az
proven BY success.

The popular comedians Hallen and Hart
appeared at the Marquam last evening in
II. Grattan Donnelly's musical farce
comedy, Later On" says ths Portland
OreRonian. The piece is a genuine farce
comedy of tho most approved order. and rs
its aim is simply to divert and please for
the passing moment, from that standpoint
it cettainly scores an emphatic and 90 NJ
plete success. The play has been so con-
structed as to admit of no end OF bright
speciality features, interspersed in several
instances with some good character-draw-
ing, while there are plenty OF witticisnas,
absurdities and humorous sayings which
were received with great applause
and gusto By the large audience
present. The musical features, Of which
there are many, naturally add to the enjoy
znent OF the evenings entertainment. The
whole performance goes with great snap
and life, and there is plenty of dash and
sparkle in it. The company is strong, nu-
merically. vooally and artistioslly. Hallen
and Hart make a very clever team and do
their utmost to amuse and please. They
are both good dancers, and while neither
of them can boat of any great vocal at
tainments, they succeed, however, in render
ing some dozen duets in splendid style.
Their topical songs are now and fresh, and
their work il marked py much originality.
They are excellent comedians. and their
sayings and doipgs a,e humorous in tina OK
trsme, while they appear in any nlmhel of
