though it had been planed.
The company expects in the near
future to fully equip both properties
with steam hoists and the best machin-
cry and air compressors and fully de-
velop and open up the immense ore
bodies known to exist in the two mines.
Many experienced miners familiar with
lead and silver mines Of Colorado and
Montana say they have never seen a
better mine for the amount of work
done on it than the Spokane, and the
samples brought to the city from time
to time would seem to justify the most
sanguine predictions. When the Spo-
kane mine is fully developed to the
depth of several hundred feet and a
sufficient amount Of lead ore has been
exposed in the workings to justify the
company intends to erect a smelter Of
its own, thus enabling it cheaply to
bring the three classes of ore named by
II together, and make one hux and re-
duce the other which could be done for
four to five dollars per ton and thus
realize handsome profit from its low
grade silicious ores.
When this company once gets fully
under way with its two mines produc-
ing to their full capacity, the one lead,
copper and silver, and other silicious
gold ores, and with its own smeltcr in
full blast reducing the same to bullion,
The Journal predicts for it a most sue

Even then, the chances of taking out o
fortune are about even. But the usual
one might say almost universal, result
of refusing, by busted" prospector, a
fair offer for lucky find is, that he
usually hangs on to his ten foot hole,
refusing all offers, until a sudden and
imperative demand on his empty pock.

at practically moments notice for
what he can get. The price thus OBJ
tanned is usually only a small portion
Of the fair offer once made him for the
property. Another result, almost as
frequent. is that the find is held unde-
yeloped for years, and until the pros
pector crosses the Great Divide for good.
He has lived and died in poverty, ali
the while nursing his pet idea that some
day he would be able to sell ten-foot
hole in the ground for ten times what
it was worth. His heirs very ssnsibly
sell the hole for few housands-often
for less than the offer made to the dead
finder. They enjoy the fruits of his
life labor, his pet idea, and his insane
foolishness. If he had sold out for q
fair offer (at terrible sacrifice in his
estimation). he could have lived longer
and more comfortably, and had means
wherewith to discover or develop other
mines.-Mining Reporter.

the generals warmest friends in life,
wear the blade, and the presentation
was accordingly arranged. But few
witnessed the scene, but those who
were there came away with moist eyes.

attire, received the sword from the
hands Of Judge Bennett, who admonish-
ed him to bring it back from the war
untarnished or to let it come back on
his coffin lid. Captain Bullock at
