View on the Value OF a Mine.

The price of mining stock may tluctu.
ate; the price of wheat may fluctuate,
but that value and price necessarily
change together is not true. A mine Is
worth what it will produce above cost Of
its operation. Some will contend that a
mine is worth what il is expected to pro.
duce, but this amount should b. decreased
by charge sufficient to cover the risk OF
failure to meet expectations. A business
property which may be rented for 5000
per year is worth $4,000. A mine which
will earn profit of 5000 year is worth
$50, 200, provided its promise Of continu.
ously producing this sum Is as good as
the business property. II the promise of
larger or richer ore bodies justifies faith
in larger returns, then the mine is worth
more than its present capacity would in
dicale. A mine has larger prospective
value than other real property. The
value Of a mining prospect Is all prospec'

tive-conservative men pay $4,000 per
acre for the land in the Cripple Creek
district, the value of which is entirely
prospective. The prospective value Of
every prospect incr eases as development
work proves that the hope which led to
this development work was well founded.
A well located prospect in the Cripple
Creek district Is worth $4,000 per acre.

SMELTER READY
FOR BUSINESS
Official Announcement Made
by the Management.

In another column the management Of
the smelter here announces that that In.
stitution is now completed, Is ready for
business and solicits ore consignmentS.
It will not be blown IN until enough ore Is
secured and delivered at the smelter to
keep it running at least two months.
Secretary Meinhard says that considerable
has already been contracted for, but none
has yet been hauled in.
This gentleman will have charge Of the
company's finances and business affairs,
while Charles Laughlin, who built the
plant and has been with the Union Smelt.
ing Manufacturing company Of st. Louis,
the makers, for fifteen years as construct
ing engineer, will remain IN charge as
superintendent. K. 5. Townsend, re-
Gently from Montana, is the assayer and
chemist. The product of the smelter will
be handled by the First Bank Of Sumpter,
which will also pay for accepted ores.
Sulphide, oxide and carbonate ores are
desired, and owners Of mines producing
such are requested to send In lots of 100
to so pounds for analysis, free Of charge.
Two ore buyers will be placed in the
field, one working to the east of Baker
City as far as the Seven Devils country;
the other taking the western territory.
The Sumpter Valley railroad finished
Friday building spur to the smelter, and
the wagon road is being put In excellent
condition. The assay and business Office
has also recently been completed.
No event in the history of the eastern
Oregon gold fields has been OF more bene.
.iltial Importance to this entire region than
will be the starting up of this reduction
plant. Without going into any extended
treatise TO prove this assertion true, the
situation is concisely summed up when II
is said that it will encourage development
of the scores of promising prospects.
Most of these are owred by men who
have not the means to carry on extensive
development. With this home market
for their ores, their mines will pay for de.
veloping themselves. This being the con.
iiton of affairs, il would seem that this
district cannot fail to become great pro.
ducer at no distant date, and what Is still
better, this great aggregate production
will be sum Of many small producers.
And don't let ii be forgotten that this
institution is located in Sumpter, which
will act as magnet to draw miners and
mining business here, where values are
extratted and paid for. This is also go-
ing to revolutionze the banking business
of this section, making Sumpter also the
financial center, as well as the distributing

GRANTEES Registration 40s-Predietion.
GRANTEES registration books were closed
with 400 names on the list. As the vote
at the last general election was only I7o,
this shows considerable Of an increase In
the voting population Of this district.
With this increase In population, largely
due to the development Of the mines of
this vicinity, Granite becomes the pivotal
precinct Of the county. This fact Is re.
allied by the candidates for office, who
are doing their most effective work right
here. As goes Granite, so goes the elec.
ton, they say. While Granite has here.
tofore been close precinct, politically, the
majorities being small either way, II is
believed that the republicans will be able
to carry It by handsome majority this
year. Contrary to the general belief, all
miners and mining men in this section are
not silver men, the fact that a decisive re.
publican majority Is probable, shows that
sound money has as many disciples In a
mining camp as in an agricultural district,
the population OF this section being com.
posed largely Of miners and mining men.

The Aberdeen News thus takes TO task
the retail merchants in their opposition
to the parcels post: The officers of the
South Dakota Retail Merchants associa-
ton, In opposing the establishment of
the parcel post system, are not working
half as much for the benefit of the
merchants as for the benefit of tbs trans
portation companies. Such, of course. is
not their intention, but the If act is the
same. The progressive retail merchant
hes no fear OF the parcel post. or Of the
supply house either. Admitting that
people are sufficiently intelligent to
judge the quality Of goods, the retailer
who can't compete with supply houses,
when the cost OF carriage and exchange
is considered, is not doiog business on
business principles aud will not get rich
anyway. As far as this city is concerned

OF goods. The parcel post would be a
great convenience, but it is not likely to
