arate estimates of Blake in the tenth census, page 3S0; of Raymond, in the United States mining commissioners report of 1873, and of John J. Valen
 tine, of Wells, Fargo & Co.,, added to- gether, makes total to January l, 1896, of $1 y266, ,O91, ,8S6, while that com
 piled by Yale from the estimates of Garnett and the United States mint re- ports to January 1, 1896, makes total of $1,265 5y217,217 There is, therefore, only difference in the two sets of es- inmates of $S74,669, which is remark ably close.' Ex-Senator Stephen w. Dorsey re- ports that he has succeeded in London in getting enough English capital to develop a group of gold mines on the Colorado river, and twenty eight miles ] from Yuma, California, and that he will at once erect a 100-stamp mill and employ about 800 men. He attributes his success in raising the money to Mo
 Kinley's election, and says that had
 Bryan been elected he would not have
 gotten dollar.-Mining Review.
 1 Mining up to certain point is pure
 gamble that is to say no one can tell
 from surface showing what lies under
 meath, but any one using good judg-
 ment after a certain amount of work
 has been done should be able to decide
 whether it will pay to go further or
 not. If not, then what has been spent is lost, and there is the gamble, be-
 cause the amount lost is not necessar-
 fly large, (say $l, ,OO0) and should it turn
 out O. K. the result is large gain. To work any mine requires large cap ital in order to get the best results; but after a mine has been sufficiently developed to show that there is large
 quantity of ore it is then an easy mat
 ter to form a stock company and sell a certain amount of stock in order to purchase the necessary machinery. Some of the best paying mines in this l district were developed for less than
 $1,0O0, and then company was formed |. for say $1 100000, and 250,000 shares } sold at say ten cents, this would bring $25, 900 into the treasury, so that they could build a tramway, good roads, etc., l and then they could start shipping ore,
 and from the proceeds of this a divi- 5 dend could be paid, or it might be al lowed to accumulate so as to build a
 concentrator, which would cost from $15, ,O00 to $30,000, according to the size 5 required Montreal Mining News.
