an example of the profits of develop
ment.
Now comes the question: How is
this inactivity Of mine development
to be met?
l feel quite sure that the following
plan would be quite acceptable to all
thinking miners and prospectors, as
well as the business men of the coun-
ty. IL have a fine mine, but no mon
ey to develop it" is too often exp ress-
ed, and too often distressing fact,
and this condition of affairs is what
should be met.
The plan which seems most feasible
and likely to have the very best re-
suits, is for Elko County to have her
own development company, made up
OF merchants, m .ners and may say
farmers and ranchers, of this section
OF the state, and that they enlist their
friends elsewhere to take interest in
working and finding mines.
Were the matter taken up by some
active public spirited citizens, there
can be no doubt that fully 200 per-
sons, and more, may be enrolled who
would subscribe 30, SO, $50, or $50
each, per month for say six or eight
months, to the stock of such a com
pany, according to his means, which
would be quite ample to ensure a
successful beginning.
Let this local company appoint a
competent and reliable mining in
spector, having for his qualifications
sufficient practical experience, backed
with scientific knowledge Of geo.
logical formations, to be able to per-
form his duties with Judgment and
intelligence as well as to do all assay
ing, surveying, and other such neces
sary labors. He, by the sanction and
approval Of the Board of Directors, TO
select the best of such prospects as
may be offered for development, on
terms deemed just to boGh parties
the owner, or owners on the one side.
and the development company on the
other. To keep up this spirit of de-
velopment, one of the conditions of
the contracting parties should be that
after The completion Of a certain
amount OF work, or the expenditure
OF given amount Of money, presum
ably enough to open the mine, then
both should agree upon value, and
have the mine disposed Of.
Then more and greater capital
would be brought into the county
for erecting machinery, and, in turn,
for the output of developed mine.
A few such deals as this would give
great activity and movement to all
classes Of pursuits.
This local development company
would not be subject to the same
feeling Of distrust as outside, or
foreign companies, from the fact that
they would be "liome folks" as il
we're, or acquaintance, at least. To
my notion, and abundant proof is OBJ.
tainable, by this expenditure OF
money in honest and legitimate min
ing development, there is probably
more certainty Of vast profit than by
any other first clas business, provided
the affairs Of the company are con.
Quoted with that prudence, judgment
and economy, resulting from practi.
cal experience and knowledge Of min
ing administration. The sale Of one
developed property by the company
would no doubt admit Of splendid

accepted, would enable@the association TO
