We have been lead to believe that
recently organized mining companies,
operating In the jerome conntry, had
large bodies of copper ore to work on,
but fnd that they are simply working
on the credulity Of large NUM- Der OF
sucker investors to be found through
ont the United States and Europe.
One of these concerns publishes in a
Los Angeles mining paper what pur.
ports to be the report of mining en-
gineer who recently investigated the
property. The report states that the
company has an excellent tunnel site,
good water, possibility If being on
the line OF prospective railroad, and
Is within mile or two of the great
United Verde mine, and has splendid
climatic conditions, but never one
word about there being one pound of
ore within ten miles of the location
This company Is selling shares ia

President Mckinley has made pos

For this we honor him. There is no
reason why the sacred traditions of

ruthlessly trampled upon to satisfy
the clamor Of certain politicians for

Washington state will gain strip Of

100 miles in length, containing some of
the richest mines Ia the northwest,

missioner, Robert Macarthur. He will
co operate with the American surveyor,
Sinclair, In making an accurate survey
through the Mount Baker, Midway aud
Republic districts, as far east as the
Rocky mountains. Last season much
difficulty arose over the absence of the
line, the landmarks Of what was sup
posed to be the boundary being un.
doubtedly two or three miles too ia,
south. Now Macarthur makes the
statement that the line originally sur.
veyed was but trial and was never
put through properly. He says the
definite line will give the Americans
all the rich mines and other valuable
property. The surveys Of 1859 and
1861 were never completed. A very
complete geodetic survey Is now to bt
made, the work Oh which will last al

tunnel site and II the shareholders
want quick returns they can get it in
climate. Another report from the
same expert on another mining claim
in the same district, gives the fact of
having splendid townsite, water
right, plenty of wood on the claim aud
good climatic conditions the place of
prominence, but neglects the impor-
tant thing in the making of mine
ore. II these companies have ore why
do they not so state and not mislead
people into the belief that they have
the ore, but need more money for the
purpose of putting the mine on pay
ing basis. or course the jerome COM
panies are not the only concerns of he
kind that are working suckers, but
there are few no further away than
this county'of Mohave. These sharks
are a deterrent to legitimate mining
and the sooner they are suppressed the
better it will be for those who are
working on legitimate basis. OF
course it would appear to be the duty
of newspaper to denounce them in
the severest terms, but there the stick
or comes. The other day we heard a
prominent man say, in extenu ton of
this mans course: "Why, what Is the
use of kicking at him; he is only work
ing few brokerage sharks in the east,
and this cannot ia any way injure us
But it does injure Us, just the sane.
These stocks are Arizona stocks aud

their friends to remem bar it also, and
when some one from Arizona goes east
with meritorions scheme on hand

these illegitimate schemes. IL man
was working off green goods on the
people you would consider it your duty
to denonnce him, aud these green
goods mining takers ought to be de-
nOunced in the hardest terms. They
are leech on the community aud eau
not in any way bsuetit 1t. There are
hundreds of good mines in this coun

basis and we cannot see why these

What Is certainly "A phenomenal
strike, If true, has been made, Ia.
coma, (Wa,h.) dispatch states, In the
Meteor camp, on the Colville Re,erva-
ton, twenty miles northeast OF Neller,
Wash The dispatch states that assays
of picked samples run a high A. l40,
COOS and loos silver per ton. The dis
patch also states: "The pay streak.
eighteen inches wide, l. literally filled
with wire silver, native silver. ruby
silver, wire gold aud telluride of gold
The shaft has been sunk seventy five
feet and machinery ordered"
A. ton OF gold of average value l.
only worth about $50, 05. the rock in
the Meteor must be more than Que
third gold--which il somewhat difficult
to believe. The fact of the strike hav.
ing been made on the Meteor CLAIM
gives the report of it a slightly lu-
minous aspect.
The above, coming as it does, from
the Los Angeles Mining Review. a
journal Published in the interest OF
the mining industry, is remarkable
exposition of ignorance of the value OF
gold. The fact is that ton of gold is
worth over six hundred thousand dol.
lars, and that there is no such thing a.
''average value" in connection with it.
As the statement is an editorial utter.
ance it certainly shows a dense lack Of
technical knowledge necessary ia the
conduct of journal of the class in
which the Review is entered.

What of the State Mine Inspector.

\
There are about thirty days of the
hardest kind of work in this camp for
the state mine inspector.
He rarely gets down this way, and
perhaps does not know that his serv-
ices are needed in the camp.
The law is violated in Cripple Greek
every day.
The lives of miners are placed in
jeopardy on ever shift in many of the
mines of the camp.
Life is held cheaply down here, be
cause the state mine inspector cannot
find ime to go through the mines of
the camp.
If be should come down, pitch his
tent and stop month, his eyes would
stick ont so far that one could hang a
dinner pail OH them. He would see
some things that would astoni,h him.
OF course he would have to insist upon
his right to descend into the shaft, a
right which the law gives him. Ii he
will take the ladderways he will dis.
cover in many cases that there are no
ladders. In others, that the ladders
do not reach the top of the shaft, aud
in still others that there are no ladders
reaching the bottom
This lack of ladder facility is a most
serious and fragrant violation of the
law. Men toll for hours underground,
load the holes with powder, and If the
bucket or cage l. at fault or the ma.
chinery does not work, they are left
standing on the shots, to be blown TO
atoms, simply because there is no lad.
der. Sometimes the ladders do not
reach within fifty feet of the bottom of
the shaft.
In other cases, shafts are not tim
bered properly, or are not timbered at
all. Small pieces of rock become
loosened and fall. A piece the size of
a pecan nut, after a drop of one hun
bred feet, will kill man.
Ladders are rotten, stulls are not
heavy enough, aud, most common of
all dangers, shafts are left uncovered,
on the hills, beside roadways, down
which horse or a man may plunge in
the dark Some of them have been
open for months and months, and are
still open.
We do not mean TO say that all the
mines are at fault, but many of them
are, and, If the state mine inspector
will pay visit Cripple Creek, stay
a month, commence at the beginning,
and go through to the end, he will fluid
m oh to occupy his time aud keep him
basy-but he must go underground to
d. IL, for he cannot see the faults from
the surface, or by glanciDg down the
shafts. The law gives him the right,
and the law should be enforced.
1t Is better that the state should
keep man here permauen ly than that
one life should be lost through the
carelessness Of mine managements, or
the negligence of any public servant.
It's up to the state mine Inspector
Cripple Greek Times. Citizen.
careful survey of the mineral en-
pire of the west cannot fail to impress
the impartial observer with the fact
that Denver is the great center around
which mining interests revolye, and
from which great enterprises emanate
Not only has it become the recognized
headquarters for mining deals--a sort
of mineral clearing house-but Il has
taken front rank as supply depot for
mining machinery and today Is the
greatest distributing point in that line
in the world. The entire country feels
a Justifiable pride in Denver--the Lon
don of the great west.--Western Min.

LOCALLY

A good deal of conjecture ia being
INDUCED in ms To- the building opera
tons which will take place here the
coming summer and fall. Besides the
two brick business houses which will
be built on the corner north Of the
+. Il M. bank building, To q "a up a
tree IL looks like several more would
be added. The little remarks which
this paper has made In regard to the
advocacy Of building bricks have Ia.
ken root and we will soon have the
satisfaction Of seeing them bear fruit.
The fallacy Of doing business in old
frame buildings, which without the lot
on which they are situated would not
sell for more than $3.50, and for which
the n receive a yearly rental OF
from $500 to $500 has become apparent.
The scales have fallen from the eyes of
some Of the renters and they have be.
gun to see what the real value to be
gained by being in n brick building lie.
Among the different things is better
fire protection, lower insurance, greater
volume of business, comfortable and
clearly quarters, saving Of fuel, etc.
Take the matter Of fire protection and
insurance and the man who Is In a
frame building is up against a hard
proposition. He cannot afford TO In.
sure his goods at anything like their
real value and IL a fire comes he Is at
its mercy. A man who may have
thousands invested in a stock Of goods
may see the hard work and saving of
years 20 up in smoke. This is no fairy
tale. The business man who has been
seeing a big portion OF his profits go.
ing in rentals will wonder why he does
not secure u lot and build for himself
so that in the years to come he will
have something for what he has paid
out. Now is the accepted time, money
is plenty and cheap and the value OF
lots with frame shacks low. Stand M
for Red Cloud and build n brick.
