save what they have already put in,
and henceforth business men will con-
tinue to spend money even after their
judgment bids them stop, in the hope
of retrieving what they have already
expended. 1t is safe rule to follow
from a prospector's standpoint, that
as long as man is willing to spend his
money on your property, let him go on
and do it; the chances are, that the
man who already has money in it will
spend more money in the development
of the property than any new party
will There is the obvious principle of
equity which should dictate the renew
al of an agreement with one who has
expended large sum of money in your
interest with no adequate return.
ain this connection recall the diff
ference between the prospector and
the business man with reference to a
mine; the business man rightly figures
that a mining property which has not
paid is to all intents and purposes a
worthless asset, and consequently he is
ready to make any reasonable conces-
sion to the intending investor. An H.
lustration of this occurred in Madison
county, Mont, where | was operating
recently. A syndicate of eastern cap
italists we're induced to take a bond
aud lease about two years ago on the
| Red Chief, belonging to a Helena busi-
ness man. This syndicate had devel-
oped the property and shown up a
large amount of ore of good grade, of
which l,5OO tons was on the dump.
They had also built ten stamp mill
which is nearly completed. They we're
required under their bond to meet GER
tain payments or the mill and all of
the improvements, including the ore,
were forfeited to the owners of the
property The mill was not completed
as soon as was expected and not being
able to treat the ore the payments we're
not met. Although all of the improve
ments and the mill we're forfeited, the
business man realizing that a large
amount of money had been spent in
his interest, has extended the bond
and allowed the people to proceed
when it was possible to take possession
of the property. Starting up the mill,
milling the ore on the dump, and de-
veloped in the mine, and in that way
set much larger price for the property
than the original agreement provided.
"My advice to prospectors who have
mining properties which they cannot
work themselves to advantage, is to
make any reasonable concession to
those who have the money and show a
disposition to spend it."-Industrial
Record.
Mohave County miner., 1901-03-09

On the surface the general average was
56Ss gold per ton. At twenty feet the
general average had increased in value
to 1898 gold per ton and picked sam
pie assayed 1908 gold per ton. At forty
feet the general average rose to l8.05S
per ton gold and a picked sample
showed l7S.70S gold per ton. At the
bottom of the shaft there is four feet
of ore which gives an average value of
255 per ton gold and picked sample
almost reached the two hundred dollar
mark, giving net value of 1913 per ton
gold. The ore in the shaft is all free
milling. Messrs. McKave and Spring
er have 5000 feet on this vein and
seven other distinct leads pass entirely
through the ground. The claims ad-
join the well known Dandy group of
mines owned by Enoch Williams,
which has been worked for thirteen
years. The general course of the
mines, however, is from east to west,
while the others in this section usually
strike from north to south. There is
plenty of wood and water adjacent and
the owners feel that they have big
prospect. Sinking will be continued
as fast as possible-Prospect.

Dry-BIowing for Gold in Australia.

After the alluvial has been we'll
shaken up, so as to bring to the sur
face the large Jumps, which the "pros.
pector" examines and skins off, dry
blowing, in its most primitive form,
consists of dropping the "dirt" from a
height, from one dish to another, the
dust aud finer PARTICLES being blown
away in falling or ) feet through the
air, whilst the gold and coarser gravel
are caught in second "pan" set on the
ground at the miners feet. He stands
so as to face at right angles to the
wind, placing the lower "pan" on
piece of coarse canvas, so as to catch
any fine gold blown to one side over
the edge of the pan"
The next stage is to toss the dirt up
and down in the pan, holding the pan
in slanting position, away from the
operator, and jerking it back, so as to
throw the dirt from the front to the
back of the dish, thus winnowing it
still further. Then once more shaking
the pan, with vanning movement, he
brings the Jumps to the top and skins
them off. When thus reduced to
small quantity of "fines," the aurifer-
ous residue is still further shaken
down, like the contents of dish, when
panning it in water, and with the pan
tilted forward, the miner raises it to
his mouth and completes the process
by blowing off the remaining light
sand. After this process of concentra-
tion is finished the gold is seen firing
ing the edge of the iron-sand; any mug
gets or pieces coarse enough to "spec"
are picked ont, and the "fine gold" is
either washed out with water in the
usual way or collected with the mois-
tened end of the miners thumb.-A. G..

A Sensible Talk.

A mining man who has made a sue
cess in the business, who was once a
prospector and working miner, discuss
ing the relations between the pros pee
tor and capitalist, said: at is obvious
that the average prospector is no busi-
ness man, because his lack of business
qualifications is the reason why he re-
mains pros pector. If he we're a bus
iness man he would soon rise from the
mine operator. My experience is, that
it is exceedingly difficult to make an
arrangement with a prospector on bus
mess principles, because the prospec-
tor imagines that his property is of
many times its true value. He thinks
that because he has spent long period
of time and much labor on his prop
erty, that he should be paid for this
time and labor regardless of whether
his labor has disclosed anything of
value or not. When approached for
bond or option on his property be
business man can afford to consider
If the intending lessee protests at the
figure set, the prospector will reply:
IF after working the property you find
it not worth the figure, you don't have
to take it, He overlooks the fact that
the party taking the bond is spending
his good money to make the value of
the property, as in most instances
when the bond is made the prospect
has no intrinsic value. AS it is simply
an opportunity for some one to spend
money and labor to make it of value
it is manifestly unfair to ask large
speculative price for thing which has
no present value, and its having value
depends upon the money spent upon
it by the prospective purchaser.
"These extravagant prices put upon
properties are the principal bar to the
rapid development of the mineral re-
sources of our state. The prospector
having lived on hopes for so many
years is ready to grasp at any straw
that will feed his hope. He thinks the
minute a man examines his claim and
shows some interest, that he sees some
thing that the prospector himself has
not discovered. 1t frequently happens
that the prospector who has vainly
urged and implored the capitalists to
go and look at his property, offering as
an inducement all sorts of favorable
terms and the moment the man goes to
see it, he commences to drive hard
bargain.
"There are large number of prop.
critics upon which bonds have been
given and developments made, and
when the time comes to meet the bond
the capitalists. knowing that the show
ing made does not justify him in pay
ing the price, asks for an extension,
which il either refused or such onerous
conditions insisted upon that the cap.
italisG leaves the property in despair.
Hundreds of instances might be cited
of this, but debates are useless. 1t is
of course but natural that when people
have invested considerable sum of
money in the development of a prop
erty that they should wish to continue
and spend more money in the effort to

Academy Goes to Deerfield.

The Norwegian Lutheran academy for
the Chicago Madison district is to be To-
Gated at Deerfield. After balloting all
Friday afternoon the delegates arrived
at this decision by vote of 20 for Deer
field and Ii for Beloit. The principal
argument used in favor of the Dane
county town was the bonus offered,
which included $4,000 and four acres of
land.
AS was the case at the last meeting
Madison made good showing at the
start, having 10 votes on the first ballot,
while Beloit had 13, Albion nine, with
Mcfarland, Deerfeld and Stoughton
four each. After the second ballot the
Stoughton delegates gave up the contest
and divided their votes between Beloit
and Deerfeld. Up to the fourth ballot
Madison was a possibility, but then the
delegation broke, five votes, going to Be-
time on to the tenth ballot it was three
cornered contest between Beloit, Albion
and Deerfeld. On the sixteenth ballot
the academy went to Deerfield with rs
votes, that number exceeding two thirds
of the delegates. Then the vote was
made formal, % declaring for Deerfeld
and ID for Beloit.
The causes which initiated against
Madison and Beloit and in favor of
Deerfeld was the dislike of the moral
influences which the cities might throw
around the students and the desire that
the academy be located in community
where there are a considerable number
of Norwegians so that the institution
might be among friends.
The buildings to be erected will cost
about $4,000, and work will begin upon
them when spring opens. In the mean
time the academy will hold its sessions
in one of the halls of Deerfeld. -Madi-
son Democrat.

Obituary.

At the ripe old age of seventy-six years,
Mr.. Joseph Pollard, one of the early set
tiers of the town of Albion, passed away
at his home in this city Saturday after
noon, March 18th 1901. Mr.. Pollard
was born in Ireland and it was there
that he was united in marriage to Bird
get Thayan, who is left to mourn the
loss of husband who has been devoted
to her for SO many years. Mr.. Pollard
came to this country about forty six
years ago, and most of the time since
has been resident of the town of AL
bion. He retired from active farm life
about six years ago and moved to this
city. He has always been industrious
and honest in his dealings, and as g citi-
zen was highly respected. In religion
he was Catholic and was buried from
that church on Monday forenoon. The
sacred structure was well flled with
those ho gathered topay the last tribute
of love to the departed. Besides the
widow, four children, Mrs. N. j. Casey,
of GAINESVILLE, Joseph Pollard, Jr., Marian
Pollard and James Pollard are left to
mourn the loss of a husband and father.

! Continuation of non-casing weather
keeps matters very unsatisfactory for
growers and packers. 1t is becoming a
serious situation for fear spring work
| will be upon farmers before they have
opportunity to remove from the poles
and deliver the remaining portion of
their holdings. 1t is likewise unfortu-
nate and embarrassing to packers. It
means that they will have difficulty in
securing warehouse help late in the sea-
son. Quite quantity of the weed has
been delivered to local and outside buy
| ers the past week. Every day brings
fresh evidence of dissatisfaction growing
out Of the disagreement between farmers
and buyers. One of the results is suit
in which the buyer a Mr.. Tallard for
eign tradesman, is sued for the full con-
tract price of Richard Ellocott's crop.
Tallard proposed cut in price of rs per
cent, which Mr.. Ellacott refused. He
Immediately sued and attached loaded
car of tobacco then standing on the sid
ing, belonging to Tallard. The hearing
is set for the 10Th. There is little buy
ing going on in the country districts of
crops left unsold and those rejected or
held because of unsatisfactory settle
ments. Everything considered the Cen
sor does not believe farmers have real
lied as much money for their tobacco
crop as they did last winter, notwith-
standing the fact that. the acreage was
twenty pet cent greater in 1900. The
county never produced better crop.
Growers will exercise greater care in the
future.-Viroqua Censor.
