PACIFIC COAST NEWS
Grcas Mistakes Of Eastern Capitalists
In Neglecting to Hunt Up Desir-
able Mining Investments.

One of the great mistakes made By
Eastern capitalists is to seek only for
developed mines to purchase, says the
Mining World. As general thing.
owners of mines which can be worked
at a substantial profit have no need to
look for purchasers, and are not apt to
look for them. 1t is for this reason
that those who came to the West for
mines are disappointed; that. while
they are offered partly developed or
opened properties, the paying or going
mines are not then for sale, except at
what they consider high prices. After
man or company has prospected,
opened and brought to producing
point good mine, it is worth as much
to them as any one. and the owners are
unwilling to sell except at good profit.
in fact, such properties are seldom
offered for sale. People have to hunt
them up. and then have hard work to
get bond on them, the owners gen.
orally preferring to keep on working.
There are great numbers OF going
mines, with the necessary machinery,
in the West. but the owners do not let
them be "peddled" around for pro-
motels to bargain with.
Shelter Changes Hands.
The Tacoma smelter is to be the
largest on the Pacific coast. Three
hundred thousand dollars will be ex.
pended at once in increasing it's capa-
city and the rcorganized company which
now owns the smelter has unlimited
capital at its command. The smelter
is to be controlled by the Bunker Hill
Sullivan mine at Wardner, Idaho, the
largest and richest mine in the Occur
d'Alene district: the Alaska-Tread-
we'll, aska-Mexican, and Alaska
United States at Douglas island, three
of the largest mines in the North.
Back Of these properties is the wealth
of D. O. Mills and other New York
capitalists. and the Exploration Com
pany, of London, dominated by the
Rothschilds. Henry Bratnober, the
Rothschilds' confidential agent and one
Of the shrewdest mining men in the
country, is a stakeholder in the new
company. W. R. Rust, Of Tacoma,
continues as Its manager.

It looked this morning as though the
blizzard would continue all day, but at
10 O'Clock there was breaking away
in the west, and finally the storm
ceased altogether, and the severest
blizzard since the memorable blizzard
of March, 1888, came to an end. The
wind blew at the rate of 50 to 60 miles

storm.
