WHY DON'T THEY DO TIP
The Secret of Success Is to Take Care
of Small Things.

How often one hears of miners and
prospectors who claim that they have
gold properties from which they can
take out SO or 81 a day with a hand
mortar, and yet these same men will
warm the chairs in our hotel Hobbies all
winter long, and they can be found ON
the shady side of the streets during the
long summer months
IF these men can do what they claim
they can, why don't they do it?" is the
query that naturally presents itself to
a credulous public. 81
1t is either because of two things, one
of which is that the rich gold claims
exist only in their imagination, or else
they Will tell you that they do not wish
to work their claims, but that they are
looking for purchasers who will take
them off their hands at a handsome
sum, although it is more than likely
that these same properties have never
had more than 800 worth of work done
upon them, and vet their owners fiatter
themselves that they will find a sucker
who will pay a mine price for a pros
pect.
If these partially developed properties
exist in reality, and there is every
reason to believe that some of them
do, the claimholder of today has no
reasonable excuse for not working them
he can grubstake himself and take out
enough of the yellow metal to open up
the property as it should be, as there
are numerous small plants now on the
market with which one or two men
could treat a ton or two of ore day
with handsome profits, SO that there is
no excuse for continued idleness, and
the claimholder that can take. out SO or
81 a day even with a hand mortar had
much better put in his time in this way
than to loaf year after year with the
expectation that some day someone will
come along who will give him small
fortune for his ground. a.
The mining men, of this section might
well pattern after the California gold
miners, who, with crude appliances,
managed to make good living and
oftimeS fortunes.
A good motto for the class of claim
holders above alluded to would be:
Less talk and more work"

A LETTER FROM KLoNDYKE.
The Man is Hungry and Pines For
Fruit.

Just now, when every item of news
from Klondyke is eagerly sought for
the following letter from W. W. Cur
ran, written to an old friend at Casper,
Wyo., will be read with interest:
Mahoneyville, Upper Yukon, British
America, June 8, 1897:
Dear Friend-You can surprise the
dear people of Casper by telling them
that 1 am worth $4,000 and that next
summer l will start back TO buy the
town. Some people will want to kiss
me when / get back who wanted to
kick me when I left. 1t is bad trip
up here, but it is worth making if
money is what a man wants. 1t is the
only place l ever saw where there is
so much money that people don't seem
TO care for it, only as il will be good
to take away. We set around and
talk about good things to eat. That
is what everybody is thinking about.
If a man gets to talking about fruit
he is put out of the camp. We can't
stand it to hear it talked of. I have
dreamed of seeing peaches as big as
a carwheel, and they say that when
a man gets the tremens up here he
always sees fruit trees or fancies that
he is pulling radishes or Smelling peas.
This is hard country on man. 1t
will make a young man look old in two
seasons. l have lost all my good looks.
There are lots of Irish UP here, but I
am the only whiteheaded one yet.
You have heard of the golden calf.
Well, 1 have something that beats
that; have a golden dog. A dog of
mine died and l have used mis- hide as
a sack for my dust. l have him as full
of gold as he was of meat. 1 some
times lay my head on his body and
dream of what 1 will do with my
dough" when 1 get back to the states
Maybe 1 will butcher him and give you
and Shelly each leg.
Ny partner has ten one-gallon syrup
cans filled with dust for his share.
would have come home this fall, but
he wants to wait till next summer;
then we will both come together. He
only weighed 1876 pounds when he
came here, so you can know this ell
mate is not as hard on a weak man
as you would think. Pneumonia is
bad and many die from it. The ScurVy
is bad, too, but it don't kill many after
all. If a man could have what he
wanted to eat up here 1t would not be
so bad after all. You can dress warm
and fight off the cold, but it is hard to
be hungry every day and get nothing
TO eat but things you detest.
This is the first mail TO leave here
since last September. An Esquimaux
will take this to Juneau. l hope 1t
won't smell like one when it reaches
you. They are the dirtiest people on
the earth Let me know what is going
on down there. I will get the letter by
next spring anyway. If you want TO
come up here 1 can send you the stuff
and il won't cost me more than what
nav for 100 pounds of flour.
NV paper has run out and there is
no more in camp.

TWO DIVIDENDS.
One of Them Paid, the Other Payable
On the Goth.

The Silver King Mining company
yesterday paid its regular monthly
dividend of ss7,5Oo, making the total
paid to date figure up TO the hand
some sum of 81, 162, 500.
The directors of the Mercur Mining
company yesterday declared the reg
ular monthly dividend of $4,000, pay
able on the 10Th of the present month.
With the payment of this dividend the
Mercur company will have distributed
$775.0OO to its stockholders, and will
round out a full year that it has not
missed dividend. during which time
it has paid 100000, or s1-50 on each
share of it's capital stock.
This speaks well for the company,
and it is expected that with the in
crease to the capacity of the Mercur
mill and the splendid condition of the
mine this record will be improved upon
during the next II months.

assays have been obtained in the yellow
\ metal valued at from 81 to 500 per ton.
AThe group consists of four claims, all
OF which show good surface groupings.
"a vein of asbestos ranging from two
to IA inches in width has been discov-
cred in sinking the shaft. The present
owners of the property being men of
limited means, have done nothing to-
wards developing the group for some
time, but 1t is their intention to begin
operations again some time in Septem-
Der.
Captain De Lamar had bond on this
property few years ago for $4,000,
but 1t was allowed to expire.
THE GALENA.
The Galena mine is working four men
in the development of the property.
An incline shaft is down TO a depth of
"a feet. a vein of silver-lead ore was
followed from the surface. but it is not
sufficiently large enough to pay. It is
the intention Of the company to con-
tinue the shaft to the 100 foot level and
then begin tunneling for the main ore
bodies.
THE WASATCH.
The Wasatcn group is located in the
gulch leading up to the summit Of
Wasatch mountain on the east side.
DOC" Hall is experimenting the de-
velopment work. and is operating with
three men.
The shaft is. down to a depth of 40
feet A fissure vein of ore has been
encountered from which assays have
been obtained showing values of 50
ounces silver, Go per cent lead and 81
in gold. With development, the Wa
satch Will become one of the best mines
in the Beaver Lake district.
THE GENNETTE GROUP.
The Gennette group is a new location
recently made by Walter G. Getchel,
superintendent of the Beaver Lake
mine, and several others. The prop
erty Is located near the True Fissure
property, and has very encouraging
surface showings.
A shaft is being sunk on vein which
appears to show good values. No as
says have yet been taken.
THE TRUE FISSURE.
The True Ffssure is undergoing ac-
tive operations and the work is being
prosecuted under the direction of Dr.
Adams.
DICK BLAND.
The Dick Bland, from which ship
ments have been made, is lying idle
at the present time, owing to its being
in litigation.
IL IS utldtTSlOOu that LII. AudHlS has
secured a lease on the group and it is
his intention to start work on the prop
erty at an early date.
SKYLARK GROUP.
The Skylark group is an extension to
the Wasatch on the west and has very
similar surface showings.
A shaft was sunk on this property by
the original holders to a depth of 16
feet
Several shipments have been made,
and with further development the mine
would no doubt become valuable.

Too Limited.

News, Ely, White Pine County, New;
George Holmes was up from the Gran
lie district this week. He says the
Ben Hur Mining company failed to
come up with the payment due on the
first of the month, and consequently
have forfeited all claim to the property.
TIE company made one payment on the
mines about a year ago, the next hav-
ing fallen due On the LIST of August last,
which they failed to meet; more time
having been asked but was refused. 1t
anpears that the Ben Hur company was
an organization of decidedly too limited
means TO undertake the development of
any mining proposition five-stamp
mill has been erected, and some de-
velopment work was done by the de-
faulting company. The mine is said
to be looking better than ever before.

"On the recommendation Of the
Dredging Committee Of December.
1874, as authorized by resolutions of
the commission Of November 18th, a
contract was made with Linden w.
Bates Of Chicago for the construction
of dredge In accordance with these
general requirements, provided with
six ox5-foot cutters, revolving on verti-
cal shafts, actuated by spur gear and
divided into two batteries. She was

32-inch suction and discharge pipes, all
SO arranged as TO form two separate
units from the heads of the suctions
TO the ends Of the floating discharge
pipes, 600 feet away from the dredge.
The amount of the contract was S172,-
40, provided that a rate of delivery
of 1860 cubic yards of sand per hour
was attained. The bonus was $50

,HEDrLE OF TESTS oF THE BETA.

The dredge was thus proved to be
Of immense capacity, delivering as the
average of tests quite three times the
volume of sand demanded by the con-
tract, and twice that required to earn
the entire bonus"
AS to the general result of its ex-
periments with dredgers, the commits
sion states the following:
TT appears, therefore, from the ex-
perience of the commission with the
dredge Beta, that the capacity which
can be given to such machines for the
purpose of bar removal on the Lower
Mississippi is very great. This goes
far to establish the feasibility of an
Improvement Of navigation by dredg-
ing, since it cannot be doubted that
the resources of constructive science
are sufficient to adjust the parts of
dredge so perfectly and to build them
up so strongly that they will be sub
stantially free from delays from ac-
cident. and to proportion hull so that
il will float it's machinery on a draft
which will allow 1t to navigate the
river at its lowest stages"
Your committee recommend that the

mittee on Dredgers and Jetties, with
instructions to vigorously prosecute its
investigations and to report the re-
suits thereof to the Executive Commit

There are twelve prizes, and to date
there are entries enough to make that
show one of the liveliest ever given in
