A CAUTIOUS investor says mining is gamble. It must be amitted that this is true in a measure. What business is not? Mining, however, may be conducted it such manner as to largely remove the speculative element. The prospector stakes chance when he locates his claim in the hope, if not the belief, that it will contain mineral which will pay him to develop. As work progresses, and the value of the mine becomes more apparent, whether it be great or small, the risk diminishes
 If the prospect is poor one the possi- ble investor feels less inclined to invest. gamble. With greater amount of development the prospect becomes a mine with certain absolute value, and this value increases with the ex- tension of development work until the limit of worth is determined by the actual value of the mine. It may be said that developed mine showing certain value, whether being operated or not, has a prospective merit, the extent of which it is difficult to deter mine; but as matter of course, when the investor is willing to pay for that which he cannot see he enters the realm of chance and he measures this risk by the indications of reasonable probability of a continuance of ore deposits only par tially developed.

from the Washington post.l


 1T call Los Angeles home, but my business in connection with mining in other parts of California, Montana, Utah, and Arizona keep me away from that city so much that hardly have time to get acquainted with my family" !" remarked Mir. ". P. Dunham to a Post reporter at the Shoreham. "It is a good thing to live in the west nowadays" he continued. "for it stirs one's blood to note the wonderful development of the entire transmissis- sippi region. Take Cripple Creek. the greatest mining camp in the world where fresh ore bodies of wonderful richness are being found every day, and where, in zone not more than three miles long by two and half miles wide, there is more gold than in any other spot of similar extent in the world. was at Cripple Creek at the start and have seen it reach the pres- ent growth, and I know that it hasn't begun to reach the zenith of it's great ness as gold producing center.
 "The coming field for rich mineral development, however, is in Arizona, where there are enormous possibilities in gold and copper mining. Senator elect W. A. Clark of Montana is under stood, on reliable authority, to have refused $30, 900 900 for his famous cop per mine, the United Verde, in that territory. There are relatively but few people engaged in mining in Ari- zona, but taking nun bers into account, the production of the precious metals Is on par with the output of any other state or territory, and I regard the prospects as brighter there than in any other section of the United States, including the Klondike."

IS buying mines the greatest care should be observed in sampling and assaying the ore. There are unscrupu- lous men who would not hesitate to "salt" the samples; the ways are numerous for accomplishing this. The only safe plan is to clear away the sur face and get your samples from the solid formation. Never allow them to leave your possession for a moment until they are in the hands of re- liable assayer, and keep a check on him by retaining portion of the pulp, which it is always best to have tested by some other assayer. A few dollars spent this way is money well expended. Take no mans assay of ore from his own property-it may be correct and it may not-and, above all things, be- ware of blackmailers (whether preach CTS or laymen) who condemn properties that they know nothing about. A mine or prospect shows for itself, and words do not make it better or worse
 If these plain rules were observed there would be fewer frauds in mining.

The Georgia Lynchina
From Harper's Weelxiy.l

Whatever any Northern reader may feel about the burning of the negro Sam Hose and the lynching of the negro preacher Strickland, in Georgia, one thing he should always bear in mind, that there is no vital difference between the white man in the South what white men do in Georgia white men from New York, or Massachusetts, or Minnesota would probably do in Georgia under similar circumstances. A county in Georgia went stark crazy over Sam Hose. Northern readers can mot understand it. A letter has come to the Weekly from d Georgia woman which tells story of Sam Hoses crime as Georgia understands it. It is hard ly letter that the Weekly may print, but it may all be believed, aud it helps to an understanding of what has hap pened. No man who believes what this woman believes ann has written about Hose and Strickland and negroes of their class in the South wonld be sur prised at anything that might follow such crime as Hose committed. It may be that nothing can justify such an orgy as was held over Hose, but there is plenty that can explain it. The men and women of the South be- lieye that certain unruly negroes can only be restrained from horrible crimes against white women by swift and terrible punishment. We of the North have little experience of these crimes, but our blood circulates, and we know what sort of dispositions such crimes arouse. To read the story of Sam Hoses crime as our Georgia correspondent has written it begets absolute indiffer- enee to that negro's sufferiugs or fate. It fills the mind with horror, and makes one feel that any means that is etfectual to prevent such crimes is justified. One forgets the monstrous- ness of the Sam Hose lynching, and only wonders whether it was expedient

K THE Phoenix Daily Enterprise has the following in regard to the arid lands "Every honest effort possible should be put forth to secure compile tion of the Buttes reservoir near Flor ence, as the government has already taken hold at that place. Let one of these enterprises be made a success and there will be little trouble ex- perienced in extending the good work throughout the entire arid region. A mighty empire will then grace the spot that in years gone by has been designated as the Great American Desert as the soil only awaits the abduction of water from the streams and artificial lakes to produce fruits, cereals and vegetables in any desired quantities"

WITH one hundred thousand men like himself and Colonel Funston, General Lawton could conquer the world, provided they were not fed on enbalmed beef and had Dewey to do the sea fighting. The only trouble with Lawt0n is that he is so modest. While only plain Captain of cavalry, he ran down Geronimo's cut-throat band of Apaches, following them hundreds of miles across burning plains and over the highest mountains in Ari- zona and Sonora, and then gave the credit to his superior officers. He should have claimed all the honors, like Admiral Sampson, and Mckinley would have put him in command of the North Atlantic squadron. Lawton knows more in minute about any sort of fighting than Sampson ever dreamed of.
