near what is termed the
Buckeye exploration. -Four holes have
been drilled counting the ono now in
work. The two frat holes were started
from the same place, one dipping toward
the north going down $40 feet, ledge
being forty-live feet from the surface.
No ore was encountered IN this hole.
The second drill hole dips towards the
south and was run down 575 feet.
About 800 feet OF good and mixed ore
was passed through here, ledge being
fifty feet below the surfnce. The third
hole dips towards the southwest and is
situated $50 feet west from the first two,
and was run down $50 Icet but NO ore
found. The last hole Is situated l25
Feet east from the first and second holes;
drill dips southwest; ledge forty-iivr feet
from surface. One hundred and twenty
Gve feet Of states were passed through
when ore was encountered, in which the
drill has been working ever since. Up TO
present date the drill has passed through
Ito feet OF good ore, some samples going
as high ms sixty-ilyc per cent. IN metallic

Pluck and Capital Required.

1t is characteristic of American in
vestors that they are ready enough to
risk small amounts in mining ventures;
in hopes of acquiring large and speedy
returns; they like to spend few thou
sands in scratching the soil here and
there, trusting sooner or later to make
elucky strike" but they can seldom
be induced to invest large sums in &C
quiring extensive territory, and doing
heavy development work prior to Sc
curing returns.
In fact, the Cripple Creek district
owes almost its entire existence to the
operations of the numerous small home
companies and syndicates, which has
secured the high-grade shipping mines
and leave alone the the low-grade prop
ositions, apparently ignoring the fact
that low-grade mines afford the same if
not even better opportunities for lu-
crative investment, when worked on
the proper scale with efficient and sys-
tematic management. But there is
this difference. The American is more
timid, and has less the courage of his
convictions than the average English
investor, who backs his opinion with all
his resources generally speaking, when
the occasi on demands.
It is such inducements as these that
the Cripple Greek gold fields offer to
hN 70 icIr
large amounts for investment rather
than small amounts for speculate on.
There are scores of American mining
men whose views will probably differ
widely from mine on this subject, but
the fact remains that wo-thirds of the
gold taken from our mines lies on the
dump pile neglected, because the Am
erican capitalists do not care to under
take, with the expense that is first in
volved, the job of increasing the an
nual Colorado production of gold by
two-thirds. This condition exists, not
only in the Cripple Creek where it is
very much in evidence-but in every
mining region of Western America.
1t is no more than fair, however, to
ascribe these conditions, not alone to
the timidity of the American mine in
weston, but to the fact, as well, that
there are so many high-grade gold min
ing propositions available that the To-
cal capitalists care not to bother with
the low-grade gold mines. Neverthe-
less, the two-thirds portion of the gold
are taken from our mines to-day, and
allowed to go to the waste pile un-
touched, can be saved, to increase some
day "the yellow hoard of the common
wealth." just as soon as the right men
take hold who are ready to advance the
large capital required, as well as furnish
the careful management that is essen
tial to the success of any enterprise of
that description.-Ext from let
ter to English capitalists.

Poor Indeed i,

The contortions of the gold bug

column will be an owl-like assertion,
that the Republican party has always
stood for sound money, meaning gold
and gold only, and that with sound
money and highE protective tariff we
can continue our career of granduer;
and in another column will be an edi-
toriaI article on the rapid increase of
manufactures in Japan and other silver
using countries. The writer's in these
