will also petition congress to make
them major generals of the regular

vices to the union during the war. The
movement is to be national, engineered

THE principles of cooperation. al
exemplIfed in the homo pools which
have been organized in several mining
camps In Colorado, is believed to be
the one on which futpre mining opera.
tions are destined to be carried in all
of the newer camps where capital Tor
development purposes is not obtainable
and the prospector and locator are
compelled to rely exclusively on in
dividual exertions. The organization
of the home pool is q very inexpensive
affair. Each member of the pool as
sumes q share of the expenses and
makes weekly or monthly contribu-
tions either in work or in cash, thereby
becoming entitled to proportfonate
share in all the benefits which may
arise to the pool. There are home
pools organized on q larger scale for
big undertakings, as, for instance, the
Leadville home pool. which was
started to unweter the mines. 10
do that working capital was required
and SO the pool issued shares to the
amount of $4,000. The shareholders
paid the assessments as the money was
needed and are now receiving the
benefit in the shape of dividends, and
they are coming with such regularity
that the shares are in great demand.
II is this which makes the home pool
preferable to any stock company where
the shares are thrown on the market
and find their way abroad and draw
the dividends after them. The home
pool is home enterprise and carries its
own reward. It Is in such contrast to |
the plan under which mining proper
lies are now developed, as described in
our Hillsboro correspondence today, |
that we invite attention to the Hills
boro letter on another page.
