TESTS WHICH PROVE NOTHING.

According to our Silver Crown cor
respondent the mill run of Silver Crown
ores recently made at Denver was In no
real sense a complete or even fair test OF
the ores of that camp. With the ex-
oeption of one or two small patches the
lot did not contain even average samples.
Some of it was surface ore which the eye
Of a prospector could decide contained
no mineral. JUDGING from the result as
well as what our correspondent says the
work Of selecting the ores was heedlessly
done with the natural consequence that
the outcome was in no sense satisfactory.
In cases of this kind some individual
should assume the responsibility. The
money contributed by the citizens OF
Cheyenne for this enterprise was little
less than wasted all because the requisite
amount of attention was not paid in the
selection of ores. The money was all
expended but we are now no wiser than
before with respect to the capabilities Of
the camp.
About $500 has been raised to develop
one of the Horse creek iron claims. This
money should be intelli0ently spent. Ii
is amply sufficient to demonstrate and
develop the ore vein and unless this is
accomplished by the expenditure it will
discourage and disgust many whose
purses are always open to encourage
public enterprises.
