DEVELOPMENT OF MINES.
Claim Owners should Not Depend on
Eastern Capital.


Eastern Capital.
There are class of men who are
eminently satisfied and apparently not
at all affected by the adverse condi-
lions of business affairs. These. says
the Western Mining World, are the
miners and prospectOrs who have
passed through the seige of knocking
Unsuccessfully at the door of eastern
capital, and amid hardships, were
forced 70 utilize their own resources
selves when We're industriously
hawked about the country, and scorned
by those who could well have afforded
any possible less that might accrue
from an attempt TO demonstrate their
failure or success. The scorned miner
IS now in many cases the fortunate
possessOr Of dividend payer and is
enjoying the fruits OF his numerous
personal sacrifices cloaked in the garb
of regular dividends. Al times we are
g. the opinion that if every mine was
forced 10 depend upon Itself, and the
enterprise Of lOcai capitalists. it would
De far better in the end. both for the
owner and The community ct large.
What little money we secure from the
east is at an enormous sacrifice, and
the profits are quickly absorbed and
nothing said of them. But whenever a
mining proposition fails and there is
any eastern capital identified with it.
there is great adoo about the loss
and the dishonesty of the enterprise,
and in fact, every thing that can be
invented 20 cry down mining. y great
many thousand dollars are wasted in
the pursuit of eastern capital, and in
80 cases out Of 100 are without results.
The NEST fortunate operators have
brought about their success through
their own efforts, or with the assist
ance of local capital. Eastern people

eat stocks. something on which shrewd
manipu!ators promise 100 per cent, but

ness and they will frown it down. Its
too legitimate. 1t is safe to say that
they know but little about mining.

CHAMBERs IN BUTTE.
Speaks EncouragingIy of Utah's Min
ing Outlook.

r. c. Chambers. the Utah millionaire
mine owner who has been stopping at
the Montana hotel Anaconda. for the
past week, says the Butte Miner. left for
home in Salt Lake on Thursday. Mr..
Chambers business here was in con-
nect:on with severa! mining ard business
affairs in which he is Interested He IS
a member of the banking firm of Hoge.
Brownlee & Co, and owns heavily in
some of the copper properties of the dis
tr:cr.
In Utah Mr. Chambers occupies d posi-
ton at the head of the prominent min
ing operations of that state. His great
wealth was accumulated mainly from
the enormous output OF the celebrated
DAILY and Ontario mines at Park City, and
he is responsible for the opening up or
many new mineral districts of his state
Besides controlling some valuable min
ing properties at Mercur the new gold
camp. Mr. Chambers has extensive realty
holdings in Salt Lake City. He also
owns the controlling interest in The Her
aid plant, until recently the plaything OF
varied ownership.
No man has a more prophetic faith in
Utah's resources both in mineral and
tempted to demonstrate this idea by CIV
ing his almost undivided attention TO per-
sonal business affairs there Mr.. Cham
bers believes that Mercur is destined -
outiive the Wanted gold fields Of Cripple
Creek. but there are other gold bearing
sections in the state that are just now
attracting him. and which he has reason
70 expect viii return amply, more than
has been expended in development. Il
reports all of the mineral districts Q.
Utah as looking SO promising, that the
inter-garden state will not feel any BAD
effects from the recent election. but on
the contrary the output of its wealth in
ore should be greater than ever before.

the meantime the impression has gone
forth that the company viii resume
operations on a small scale in the near
future. and il Is 10 be sincerely hoped
that the authorizations viii materiaiize

would not be surprised if the company
decided 70 resume with a small force,
though he has no knowledge whatever
of any such intention.
The vein recently encountered IL the
Alice IS more than holding its OWE in
appearance. and looks better today
than ii did two weeks ago when il was
first cut. The shaft is now nearly 200
feet deep and has gone through two
separate veins, both OF which are most
encouraging. for besides showing
very fine matrix, they are capped with
lively-looking gray-bue lime. one OF
the characteristics of the WOodSide
canyon properties. The football of the
lower vein is hard quartzite. the same
as is found in the Woodside. Maylower
and other properties in that section.
DR.. Kios and associates feel that the
Alice is vet lab to add laureis to
the fame of Woodside canyon and
Treasure hill. The dump of the prop
erty attracts the attention OF the many
miners who pass and repass il, and
all are pleased with the material com
ing from the vein.
Operations in the deep shaft AZ the
Lucky Bill have been suspended for
the present. and the company is devot-
ing all its energy 70 sinking the Wine
on the new ore body found recently
The showing and value OF the ore IS

great mill of the Florida Mcuntain Min
ing company IS pounding away night and
day, giving entire satisfaction 10 the
management. The mill. he says. is IN
doubtedly the finest in this portion of The
state, and is probably not elualed any
where in Idaho. The hotel erected by the
company is a model IN every respect IL
is handsomely furnished and provides
travellers with as good accommodations
as can be found at any place in this
region.
Mr. Babbi.t Is engineer for the Florida
