Sale Day. Music and Medicine-Debt.
Ors and CreditOrs-MOvinS from
the Farm 10 the Mills.

Last Monday. was Sale Day: But little
occurred 10 mark the event or distinguish IT
from any other day. Quite number OF rep
reseptatives from various sections OF The
country were present. The assem- blage was
orderly and economical. They neither broke
the peace by their conduct, nor impoverieh
ed their purses by their investments, though
the tsade was:fairly good. Some men who
bad no better wayof disposing Of their cash,
paid their debts.
The medicine man was largely In evidence.
In the absence OF other attractions he drew
great crowd about him. His medicines. he
said, were good. The people said that the
singng.and the string music was good; the
original jokes which were offered between
acts amused the crowd. The people were
hungry for an entertain ment and eagerly ac-
cepted anything that might come Ia sight.
AS far as we know the transactions at ar
Bone Yard were nominal. The season fos
business In that theatre OF speculation does
not properly commence until Sale Day In
November.
The banks and the merchants are receiving
considerable collections despite the fact Of
the low price of cotton.
The debts on the crops are not large and
the people are showing an earnest disposi.
tion to pay off their obligations. There has
as yet developed no evidence Of any disposi
tion to evade the meeting OF every. demand
oftbe creditors.
1t Is always a source of great regret To learn
Of any one injuring his good name by the
missappropriation OF a bale of cotton or
ia rather 10 be chosen than great riches" No
man living can afford to sacrifice his name
at whatever price. A rich man with plenty
OF money may do so at great pecuniary los..
but but no man who needs credit can afford
to do anything that will iDjure his repu,a-
tion as a debt payer. A poor man, If he has
good name, can generally get all the money
he needs. but poor man With poor credit Is
poor indeed.
There is considerable disposition on the
part OF renters 10 find profitable employ
ment for themselves and their families in
the cotton mills as soon as their crops are
gathered. That employment in the cotton
mill is better and more profitable to the aver
age citizen than farming rented land. we pre-
sumo no one acquainted with the facts will
deny. Families have already appli for
situations In the Abbevile Cotton Mills. and
Others may be inclined to go elsewhere. Only
about twenty looms at the Abbeville Cot on
Mil remain 10 he started. All the other
machinery is now in good running order.
About one fourth Of the floor space Is still
vacant. After the preferred stock has been sold
1t Is probable tha4 efforts will be made TO fill
the mill 10 Its eyebrows.

MINING INVESTMENTS.

In considering mining inv stments, the investor should carefully disting uish between mines proper and prospects" While this seems sIite, there is no point more commonly lost sight of by those who purchase shares in the various mining ventures pro posed to tEe public.
 All mines begin as "prospec S." tu. it does not follow that all prospect" will deelop into paying mines. I S To- cation does not necessarily imply that mine is valuable; being in the well known mining district" does not give it value, since a portion of the territory of any mining dis rica is worthless for mining purposes. Being the extension of the celebrated mine" or located on the "sama vein as the rich - mine" doas TO, insure value, since the ''ext tensioa" may be in the wrong direction, and veins" are by no means equally min eralzed in all portions of e ther their length or depth; being adjacent to- or alongside of' some good paying mine in effect may mean that it is worthless as far as the work done in the mine that may be cited proves anything, since it may be on the side away from the dip of the vein.''
 And yet all of the instances gwen when properly undars,o ood, ac ually form a legitimate basis upon which to found expectations of a profitable buslness to the owners of a piece of mining property or prospect. Veirs are rarely vertical, ore seldom occurs in pay quantities equally along all portions of their length. and where ch1mneys do occur, they freuuen ly do not run straight down on the vein Dut incline along it, SO that the work ID one mine may show that two pieces Of property, one on one side Of it, towards which the vein dirs. and another on one end of it towards which the pay ore dips or trends, may be valuable although the owners of the adjacent ground have spent no money beyond that needed to protect or se- cure their titles. A prospect" is a legitimate subject for investment. It's value IS Of course, largely specu a i've. Slnce the clement of risk ent,rs in O 1t, under any rcumstances. but that IS also the case in any other invest ment, and is hardly more than that attending the purchase of the stock in neW railway enterprises, town sites, trolley lines, building and loan associations, or even new banks, or other financial institutions; the e1e- ment of uncertainty is perhaps great CT, but on the other hand the actual ready capital called for at the start is small and returns in many cas: S are longer than those of any other line and, on the average will compare favorably with any.
 A "mine," that is, a piece of min eral territory, originally a prospect, which has been opened up by shafts or tunnels, various working levels, etc, is hardly speculation at all, but is as much an investment as a house and lot in any town or city. By ex- posing blocks of actual ore its work

THE NEI4LIS GROUP.
A Big Deal in Grand Canyou Cope,
 Property

Parties interested have waited 1Cng and patiently for the consumnacio1 of khe deal long ago commenced, which occurred Tuesday of this week, when what is known as the Nel,is group of mines passed from the pcs session of the first and original own- CTS into the hands of Lombard, Goode & Co., of Chicago.
 This in connection win t-.e t1ans- fer of five other claims tor the sum York parties, is news wh ,ch should gladden. the heart of every Coconino resident.
 The Grand canyon c cppar distr ct is destined to be one of the greatest mineral producers of the world in tf e near future. The genuineress of he proposition has been Fnown to only a few and both the men intere.t d and the proposition they have advo- cated, have had to fight the discour- agements Of the always uninfcrmed majority, but they are men total strangers to discouragements, great or small, and the result of their per- sistent effort is seen in the beneficial and happy termination of affairs.
 The magnitude and wcr,h of sha mineral deposits of the Gra. d canyon district have been the more difficult to handle iby reasoD of their great distance from the raj road, which makes the trip one of time, hard physically and financially, but before spring time comes again, the shrill shriek of the iron horse will break she stiffness of the abysmal silence, ald cause the echoes to reverberate in natures grandest solitude, for the Santa Fe and Grand Canyon railroad is entirely beyond an imaginative fancy, while plans are being d1a1 n and purchases being made for the erection of immense sme te1s,. whose smoke in Ehe near future will bar heavenward the peaens of praise of the mighty hosts of toil and industry.
