THE MANAGEMENT OF MINES
Men Who Have Charge Of Properties
Usually Exhibit Good
Judgment.

The incidence Of explanation for many
mining operations which are discon-
tinued before they become proflt-earn-
ing is put on that ancient scapegoat
bad management" says the Mining
and Scientific Press. 1t is easily APP
Piled as an excuse, is not readily con-
troverted by facts, and contributes
best to the chance of passing the scost
of failure on to others. 1t is always
the most satisfactory to the local in
tcrests where the mine is situated, on
the ground that it does not operate to
prevent the revival of the mining
operation.
That good mines always make good
mine managers is a proposition not
usually questioned. Nevertheless it is
disputable. Very good mines do pay
under very bad and wasteful manage
ment. In fact, such mines are the ones
everyone wants. To the suggestion
that certain mine would pay with
scod management, one of the old mine
operators is quoted as saying: THAT
the kind of a mine he wanted was one
that did not have to have good man.
agement. but would pay with bad man.
agement.'
In fairness to mine managers and
superintendent, who are as class.
men of exceptional ability and special
qualification for thier business. the
charge of bad management should be
used far more discriminatory than it
is. Mineral deposits must be explored
and tested before 1t can be known If
they are commercially exploitabIe.
Mine managers and superintendent
have to be in charge of such work
1t is safe to say that they use the best
judgment that can be made on facts
a.: they appear, and plan intelligently
for the ultimate end. The critic swho
condemns the result, or manner Of
operating toward it, without being as
advised at the beginning as was the
mine manager, is illogical and unjust
All mining work. even exploratory,
must be accomplished as part of a
plan. The avoidance of waste is
consideration of the first Importance
Other conditions being equal. the plans
OF exploration or prospecting should be
such that the work performed and ex-
pendlture made, can, subsequently,, if
the prospecting be satisfactory, be-
ccme part of the ultimate scheme of
expectation. Yet it is just this kind
OF Intelligent planning that meets with
the most severe criticism of the unin-
formed and unthinking as being bad
management, in case the operation is
abandoned. Actually, however, such
planned work, seemingly a waste. is
III reality an economy. It demonstrates
that the particular mineral deposit is
not mine the more concIusiye1y and ar,
a minimum cost.
1t is always safe to question the
charge of bad management of mine
as the cause of it stature. The mere
assertion should not be accepted as it's
own proof If the question is material.
examine the real facts from the be-
ginning and from conclusions from,
them. Bad mine management is more
often scapegoat than a cause.

4 LONG AERIEL TRAMWAY
It Will Connect the Peacock Property
With the Railroad in the
Seven Devils

Almost every day important move
nents the taking place looking to the
advancement of the famous Seven Dew
| lis district, SAYS the Seven Devils STAN
dard Aside from the welcome news
| that the p. I. & n. railroad will i'm
mediately begin building it's line to
this camp, nothing has created great
Ell interest than the fact that the Boston
4 Seven Devils Copper company will
begin constructing the big aeriel tram
way from their famous Peacock proper
ties to the railway in Landore The rail-
way terminus for the line will be i'm
mediately north of Hotel Landore. near
the bins just completed at the DEBORAH
!, mine. The location is a splendid one as
very great saving will be made in
the construction of the big bins.
Mr.. William Dusedau, of Denver rep
re senting the wellknown Dusedau
Wire Ropeway and other systems of
aerial transportation, has been here
several days looking over the ground
and making full investigations. His
work was very thorough and his re-
ports will be submitted to his COM
panies, the outcome Of which are
enxiously watched.
The line will be about three and
half miles in length and will have three
stations, one at each end and the third
somewhere near the center. To COM
plete this very important project it will
require from so to IS men, about 400,-
00C feet of lumber, besides the immense
amount of other material needed. A
very great saving will be made in its
construction from the fact that the lum-
ber ETC., can be manufactured on the
ground. 1t is expected to have the
line in operation within ninety days.
The capacity at first will be 200 tons per
Gay, but will be increased as require
ments demand.
The completion of this tramway will
mean a tremendous saving to the Boston
& Seven Devils company. as the ore can
then be transported from the mines to
the railway at Landrone at the estimat-
ed cost of 10 cents per ton.
