A REMARK overheard m'Prescott [

A REMARK overheard in Prescott the past week, says the Prospect, that the speaker did not care for development capital-only wanting a cash bonus put up in deal for his lniaing claims-re- calls the old theories and practice pre-. vailing Tn the transfer of mining inter. ests and the changed conditions that have gradually obtained in this direc. tion in western mining circles. The right of the owner to impose any condition he desires in tying up his mining claim is < perfect and unqueslioned, but it must not bc forgotten that in these latter pro. saic mining days the average purchaser is pretty apt to view his prospective in- vestments Tn matter-of-fact way, fig. uring closely the probable outlay before . profitable product can be expected,
 and he smiles incredulously at the usual enthusiasm of those who have claims.
 The ORB stands right in with every prospect owner to get all he can for hls claims, but if the other fellow "craw- ashes" because of the price or conti- |tiops don't call him names therefor. The point of this paragraph is that the buyer has the same rights and privileges Tn buying that the seller has in selling to look out for self interest as his judg. ment may direct.
