ually by long effort and arduous labor.
There seems to be disposition in Ger.
tain quarters hereabouts to look with sus.
picion on those who seek to sell stock in
an undeveloped mine. Such should not
be the case; it is an entirely equitable ar.
rangement. The owner of the claim vir.
tually says to the public: 81 have a
promising prospect, which cost me time
and labor and what little money had.
endured some hardships in searching for
this. havn't the capital to develop it;
but am willing to give an interest In the
property to any one who will put up the
money with which to drive a tunnl or
sink shaft, to ascertain whether or not
the claim Is a valuable one."
This interest which the owner gives to
have the property developed Is, In the case
OF a stock company, very conveniently
arranged, by placing certain portion of
the capital stock In the treasury, which Is
sold to the public. II the treasury stock
Is honestly handled and the proceeds from
the sale thereof are intellgently expended,
there can be nothing shady or illegitimate
about the transaction. No one with any
sense at all expects to get stock In a
proven mine for few cents a share, and
when one buys cheap stock II is with
full knowledge that he is speculating,
with the chances more or less In favor of
losing; but with the possibility Of enor.
nous returns from a comparatively small
investment.
This is the quick, modern, honest way
TO develop, not only single prospect, but
an entire district, and the sooner the work
is started here the sooner will individual
hopes be realized and the district become
what II is destined to be, the greatest
gold producer on the continent.

As paradoxical as II may appear the
"knowgood" mine at Cornucopia Is one
Of the best In that leading camp Of the
Northwest. The owners, Thomas
Turner and Joseph Jackley, are now at
work reducing ore from this mine with
the little Huntington mill built several
years ago by W. r. Davis, Of Union, and
il is automatically reported that sioo In
gold is being taken daily from the plates,
besides the concentrates, which are very
rich. There are hundreds Of locations In
the Cornucopia district that ere long will
be producing large quantities of bullion.-

On Plume street, near CRANKY, n
crowd of negroes congregate and shoot
crap whenever they feel so disposed,
apparently without the least fear of be-
ing molested. The Virginan- Pilot has
called attention to this on several occa-
sions, and for awhile it seemed as
though the gang had been broken uD.
ftsToTday about I:30 O'clock, as a rep
resentatlve of this paper was passing
along Plume street he saw at least ten
fun grown negroes in front of the West
End boarding house. colored, shooting
crap. while a guard was on the lookout
