Wonderful Value of Mining Stock.

Mrs. f. H. Chase of Bangor IA years
ago invested zoos in copper stock, and
now receives dividends on that amount
ing to l0JS monthly, or l,200s every
year.
Mrs. Chase has cousin, Prof. Tread
well, who in 1885 was visiting in Ban
gor He was interested In the United
Verde mine, in Arizona, and while in
Bangor that year tried to obtain money
for working it by disposing of few
OF his personal shares of the stock of
the company, then new. The mine had
been bonded by Prof. Treadwell and
Governor Tuttle of Arizona for 25,0J0s.
The ore was being hauled AZ miles by
mules, and this cost so much that div.
idends we're out of the question.
Mrs. Chase was one of those who
purchased stock at that time, taking
enough shares at 80 cents each to
make her total contribution l0oS. This
was done expressly in violation Of the
advice of Mrs. Chase's friends. She
was a woman of slender means.
In 1899, w. A. Clark of Montana.
now senator elect from that state, took
an interest in the United Verde, and
seeing its possibilities began buying in
the stock. He succeeded in getting
hold of 80 per cent of the shares, in.
cluding those held by every ybody ex-
cept Mrs. Chase and her cousin, Prof.
Treadwell. Mr.. Clark paid for these
shares anywhere from 50 to 7.50s each.
In 1893 New York stakeholder of.
fered IS, 7s and then l0S share to
Mrs. Chase for her stock, but she re-
fused to sell. The next week after her
refusal she received dividend of Los,
the first return on her money for eight
years. She was joyful and her neigh.
bors looked green.
The stock advanced like lightning.
In 1897 Mrs. Chase received an offer
OF 3,00Os for it, and within two days
second offer of 5,OlOs.
In 1895 offers Increased in number
and price, until in 1898 she refused
l5,OOOs for her stock in the United
Verde.
Mrs. Chase has for many years sup
ported her husband, whose health was
broken by glorious and nearly fatal
service for his country in the civil war.
Thus her new wealth is doubly wei
come. She is now receiving with regu-
larity 8 3 twice monthly as the interest
years ago.-Baltimore American.

The following from the Prescott
Journal Miner will be of interest in
Jerome, as Mr.. Owen is interested in
mines in this district, among which
the News group may be included in
the sale made: Two important docu-
ments we're filed for record yesterday.
One was an instrument from Handle
E. Owen to G. X. Leonard, assigning
agreement, etc, on certain mines in
this county, aud the other was deed
from Mr.. Owen and wife to the same
party, for numerous mining properties
in the county. The consideration
named In each was 25,000s, aud affixed
to each were three revenue stamps of
the value of 25s, or total of sos. Two
each of the stamps were for l0s and
the other for 5s.-Jerome News.

A matter would like to see dis
cussed by this institution Is the work
OF the prospector, and how it can be
made more effective. 1t is self evident
how important it is for mining dis
trict that it be intelligently prospected,
and the prospects iutelligently tested.
That the ordinary prospector is not
always competent to do either of these
of himself is apparent to any mining
engineer who has an opportunity to
look over his work. 1t Is rcgrettable
In every way that the prospector's la
Dor, his time and his money, are 20 of
ten squandered, especially when this
Is largely due to lack of technical
knowledge. The annual asse ssment
work represents far too frequently just
so much time and money put into the
ground; often, in fact, 1t leaves the
property in worse condition than If
nothing had been done. The same time
and money expended on trails or some
other such thing would often prove of
much greater value to the prospector,
as we'll as to the community at large.
This is due in some cases to the
idea that assessment work Is pc
culiar form of tax levied by the gov
ernment, and which must be paid by
the prospector to hold his claim. So
the work is shirked as much as pos
sible, and done not where it will be
most valuable, but where 1t can be ac-
complished most easily. The prospec-
tor who has this idea does not recog-
nize the fact that, properly and syste-
matically done, 1t Is testing his prop
erty and adding directly to its value II
the property is worth holding. An
other cause for this waste of capital is
a failure to realize that the object
should be to show up ore, aud that con-
sequently there is difference in the
proper method of procedure in devel.
oping a prospect and operating mine.
The prospector is not always acquaint-
ed with the rule which should be in.
