Buy a. Prospect,
Denver MINING Renorter. !

AOShNNi -AlIduS INepOfl6f.b
1t is often the case that the develop
ment of a prospect is more profitable
than the working of a producing mine
To the experienced miner this is a self
evident proposition, SO palpable that its
repetition is superfluous. However
there are many of the uninitiated who
are anxious, more than ever at this
time, to become practically interested
in the industry, and who are unable to
properly value the distinction or meas
ure the various degrees Of difference
between a prospect and a mine A
prospect may be a hole Of six feet or a
shaft or a tunnel of 100 feet in the
ground. Either may be located upon a
rich but undeveloped mineral vein.
Tie discovery thus far may, as it often
does, establish the fact that it is a val
liable property. But owing to the fact
that the expenditure of money and Ia
Dor has been but a trifie, the property
is offered for sale or it may be secured
under bond and lease at a nominal
price regardless of its possibilities of
abundant treasure. 1t is this phase of
the mining industry in Colorado. as
which is especially presented
at this time, when there is inquiry and
search on every hand for opportunities
OF mining investment and all Cescrip-
tons of property are in demand. For
the man of small money the prospect
offers the safest investment: the op-
portu mites are numerous and the field
is widespread and inviting

The Bear Raid On Copper.
"copper" Situation)

A systematic and persistent, though
Unavailing. attempt to bear" the price
of copper has been made in New York
and Boston during the past month
About the only effect it had was to
brighten some timid holders of stock,
in new companies, into parting with
their property at a loss and intimidat-
ing, for the time being, some of those
who intended to buy copper stocks
from so doing.
The statement made by the promoters
of this bear movement would be ri
diculouS were il not for their perni-
ciousnesS. Some of them were gar
nished with just enough of fact TO make
them acceptable to the public, while
others were falsehoods of the most
glaring character They were framed
with intent to deceive.
The bears claim that the increase in
the production of copper greatly ex-
ceeds the demand for it. This claim is
at variance with the facts in the case.
The demand for copper and the supply
of it are about equal. If the copper
mines of America were to cease produc-
ton for a fortnight there would be
something akin to a copper famine in
the land
But for the fact that the architectural
iron and steel manufacturers of the
country are unable to fill promptly all
the orders they have been rendered,
hundreds more new buildings would
have been erected this year These
buildings would have required large
quantities OF copper and brass in their
equipment and adornment. They will
be built in the near future. Had they
been erected this year it is highly prob
able that the demand for copper would
have exceeded its supply
The bears claim. that copper can be
sold at a profit in New York or Bos-
ton at 10 cents per pound. That is true,
but as long as it is eagerly snapped up
at nearly twice that price no one but a
fool will sell his copper for dime a
pound
Ccppersmiths. brass and bronze man
ufacturers cannot be blamed for desir-
ing cheap copper. They need it in their
business, but they will be foolish if they
place any faith in bear predictions
Such predictions may cost them dearly
Copper is in demand. Copper will in
crease in demand. and unless all pres
ent and prospective conditions change
most radically present prices are likely
TO be maintained for many months to
come.

Robert c. Lund, who is associated
with A. w. McCane and others in the
Development of several very promising
propositions in the Deer Lodge and
Stateline districts. came up from St.
George yesterday
That a new cyanide mill will be built
at the Horseshoe is considered almost
certainty MIR. Lund, when ques-
tioned about the matter. said that it
had not been finally decided upon as
Yet, but it is known that a well known
mill builder sought an audience with
him yesterday. 1t is reported that sue
cessful experiments have been made on
the ores of the Horseshoe, which were
found TO be adapted to the cyanide
treatment. The new mill, it is under
stood, viii have a capacity of 100 tons
at the start.
Mr.. Lund stated that good progress
is being made at the Horseshoe, where
a large force Of men is engaged in ex-
pioratory work.
The Horseshoe property is a fairly
Wen developed mine. A depth of 200
1eet has been attained with drifts run
from the 100 and 200 Levels. in which
a good showing Of ore has been made
\ new hoist is to be put up at the
HORSESHOE powerful enough to go to

are IN the course of erection at the
Horseshoe, the intention being to make
conditions as comfortable as possible
for the employees.
VIII Terhune is doing some success
fui work at the Dixie copper mine with
The clay furnace smeGter. Mr. Lund
says he has been extracting about ten
tons OF copper bullion from fifty tons of
ore.
Several parties are developing some
promising copper claims in Bull val
Uvada.

Silver City, Oct LIT surely

the Picnic group ''as if we are some
thing like the Ancient Mariner when
he said, Water, water everywhere, nor
any drop to drink We have ore on
all sides of us in abundance, yet we
don't seem to be able to encounter any
of the big lodges which we know to
an absolute certainty exist in our ter
ritory. Did you ever stop TO think
what a peculiar situation ours is?
Here we are with five claims, literally
henlmed in by the two Swanseas. Four
Aces, Silver Park, Rabbits Foot and
Cleopatra, all of them in ore-every
last one-and yet none of them has
worked more diligently than we have.
A great many of our friends think we
should have continued on the -Four
Aces vein, which we cut on the 500, but
with the Swansea and Park veins cross
ing. as everyone in the whole camp cal
culated. within a stones throw of our
shaft, it seemed wiser to open up the
possibilities; and then. too, the ore in
the 600 will stay there. and if we feel
the necessity we can drift on it any
time. But just as sure as you are alive
we will encounter the Swansea and
Park veins. in our ground. Our case is
similar to the English -Boer fight; the
result is eertain-it's only a question

Wells (Nev) Herald: There is some

platform from the Fordham- Hartley
mine. at Spruce Mountain, and both
Johnson's and Johnny Williams teams
are out after more. At this rate this
mine will soon be shipping two cars a
month to the Vallejo smelters.
The heavy SHOWS which have fallen
in the mountains during the past few
days have driven the prospectors out of
the mountains in many places. Quite a.
crowd of men who have spent several
months in the vicinity of Willard HILL,
near the Ogden Hot springs, came down
yesterday and state that nearly every
property in that section has been aban-
doned until next spring.
Louis Janin, the we'll known mining
engineer of San Francisco, came down
from Butte yesterday morning and
spent the day at the Knutsford, where
he met his son, Louis janin, jr., who is

Australia He is going to New York to

Janin. jr., was at one time the assayer
at the Ontario mill, at Park City.
Wells (Nev.) Herald: A nice bit of
machinery was the twenty-fve-hcrse
power gasoline engine received at this
station for the Brooklyn mine, at Con-,
tact. and which was hauled out to camp
by Frank Smith. The weight Of the
engine was 1900 pounds, and it is by far
the largest and finest piece of machine
ry that has gone into the Salmon river
country in a long time. Superintendent
English was in town over last Sunday,
and he reports work progressing rapid
ly at the mine. The shafthouse, board
ing house, shop and other buildings are
nearly completed, and when this new
engine is all set and ready for work
they will have one of the best equipped
mines, for it's SIZE in the state. A tank
of 600 pounds of gasoline went out with
the engine.

the present year that corporation has
expended at its Bingham mines in the
way Of improvements. such as the cree
ton of new buildings and other con-
veniences, considerably above 100000.

modern conveniences, far better than
the first-class hotels Of the general run
of mining camps. has Just been conn
pleted at the Old Jordan mine at cost
Of at least $4,000. The new building
has nicely fitted apartments for 100
men, who will have the advantages of
electric lights, steam heat, baths, etc.
This building is to be occupied by en-
ployees without families. The company
has not been fergetful of its married
employees and has built a great many
cottages for their comfort, and in a
locality near the company'S works,
where children can get the advantages
of good schools.
Since the Boston syndicate took up its
Bingham propositions it has done an
immense amount of exploratory work
under the immediate direction of Gen
eral Superintendent James W. Neil. In
the development of the Old Jordan
mine, five important ore bodies have
been disclosed on the No. level The
most important one is stated to be at
the intersection of the No. west drift
and the Della tunnel. At this point
the ore bodies show a width of forty
feet. A shaft has been sunk on the
vein all in ore of an exceptionally good
quality.
Since Aug. 20 an air compressor has
been in operation at the mines, oper'-
ating seven drills at the Old Jordan,
and Niagara. with several others at the
Old Telegraph.
The company has in its employ at
Bingham a total Of 159 men.
