1t is difficult matter for the owner Of
a prospect to fix proper valuation on
his prospect, for the reason that il it is a
prospect and not developed mine. his
property has a speculative value only.
As matter of course the possible invest

ment to get the lowest possible price.
and often his offer is SO far below what
the claim owner had set his mind upon
that they cannot arrive at a mutually
agreeable understanding. The claim
owner often loses sight OF the risk the
investor must take in equipping even a
promising prospect, and fixes his price at
sum which he thinks will meet his
present requirements and leave a small
fortune as We'll for the future. In the
case of mines having considerable de-
velopment it is somewhat different; the
deal resolves itself into commercial
transaction, the element OF uncertainty
not being so prominent. But when this
condition of affairs is reached the pros
pector usually places his price proportion
ately high.-Mining aud Scientific Press.

There must be something radically
wrong with the mail service on the trans
continental lines to the westward. Last
summer the LANCE commenced receiving
frequent complaints from subscribers on
the Pacific coast who had experienced
difficulty in receiving the paper regular
ly. Since that time the name Of the
state has been spelled out In full! on all
California addresses, securely wrapped
yet copies have frequently gone astray
which were directed to Wheatland. Gill
roy and Cloverdale. In the past four
months no less than a half dozen letters
addressed to Wheatland, two OF which
contained post Office money orders. SO
it will be seen the trouble is not confined
to paper mail alone. Whatever the cause
we hope the department will soon find a
remedy. which is devoutly desired by tho
postmasters here and at the various
California towns.
