GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.

siderable space and attention to
the subject of opportunities for
the profitable investment of capi-
tai in prospects and afterwards
developing them into mines, and
the EAGLE has often thought
that it would certainly prove ad-
vantageous to this mining district
if more money were expended in
prospecting and exploiting the
ore deposits before so much ex-
pensive machinery is purchased,
for the reason that such purchas-
es often prove valueless, the ma
chinery not being fitted for ores
developed. Experimenting is
probably cheaper in the propect-
ing stage of mining property
than when machinery is to be put
in for treating the product.
Despite the the fact that there
is a tendency to syndicate every
thing in the shape of a mine or
prospect at this time, yet there is
in this intermountain region, op-
portunities left for the profita bic
investment of limited capital.
There has never been greater op-
in this district for the converting
at little cost, a prospect into a
mine. The famous COMPROMISE
was discovered by the investment
of small amount of cash in the
hands of an intelligent prospector
on a prospect which had been idle
and neglected for several years.
There are other oppor rtunities as
promising, waiting for the ex-
penditure of a small amount of
cash by some such intelligent
prospector ASH. c. Crary, who
located the ore bodies of the Com.
promise, and made that property
one of the most valuable in this
part of New Mexico. Some ot
the richest specimens of GOLD
ever exhibited here since the frs
opening of the Old Abe, were tax.

to $40 in gold to the ton. 1t i;
probably one of the most valuable
mines in South New Mexico, ant
, was opened up to its present con
: dition by an expenditure of abou
5000.
There are many other prospect
here that promise just as mucl
7 as the Compromise did when H
c. Crary took it. And the same
opportunities for a small amour
of capital to turn prospect int
mine exist now that existed
then. The prospector or mine

f has little money behind him
may find ample chances here ye

SOMETHING ABOUT
ORIGIN OF MINERALS.
Theory Advanced That rlinerals
Grow Like Vegetables.
The Process Said To Be Slow


River in California by Scientists,
Said to Practically Demonstrate the
Correctness of the Theory.
A theory is now advanced that
minerals grow and mature just as
do vegetables and other things,
and that natures processes,
though much slower, are in con-
slant action.
Prof. J. Nj. Taylor, Pacific
Coast expert, is quoted as fol-
lows:
"Specimens of minerals of re-
cent growth were taken from the
bed of an old river channel near
Forest Hill, California. On the
bark of tree which had been de-
posted there before the channel
had been filled up, some 200 feet
below the surface. These speci-
were found, varying in size from
pea to a hens egg; in places the
bark had decayed and the metal
had taken its place, showing the
grain of the bark perfectly.
When these specimens were pull
verized they failed to show trace
of free gold, but a chemical anal
ysis showed that they contained
S17 per ton in gold, with a trace
of silver and zinc blend, combined
with iron, sulphur and other ele-
mentary substances, usually found
in what are termed rebelliOuS gold
ores.
Crossing the bed of the chan.
mel, in the rocks in place, were
numerous small veins. The con.
Centrated ore from these veins
showed about the same cOmbina.
of base metals and elementary
substances, the only difference
being that the concentrated ore
showed more silica and about
three times as much gold and sill
yer. 1t is evident that these
minerals were formed from the
decomposition of these veins ir
place, or a portion of them thai
had become disintegrated by The
action of water. and deposited il
the channel. 1t is a we'll estab
lished fact that everything per
tanning to terrestrial physics il

and quadruple his money, by
looking up a promising prospect
and putting a few dollars into
it's development.
Again the EAGLE would like to
emphasize the fact that prospect
ors and investors should be en-
couraged, and when the tenden-
dy to take hold of an undevloped
property is manifested, and some
individual or company is ready
to take hold and do something,
and invest capital, no matter
what may be the amount, in the
development of mines and pros
poets in this district, the
rights of the investor should be
srupulously protected. A min
ing country is not developed by
one producing mine, however
magnificent it's yield, but by
transforming prospects into
mines. 1t is infinitely better for
the mining district for investors
to literally share the ups and
downs of embryonic mines, and
uncover the hidden wealth of our
great mineral fields rather than
limit the expenditure of capital
to the production of wealth al
ready in sight. But capital is
entitled to honest treatment, and
the people of this community
/ should see to it, that when in
vestments are made that are cal
culated to yield results, that un-
called-for litigation and criminal
persecution, such as has been
, witnessed here should stop. This
town and this mining camp is
to a great extent what the people
t have made it, and their future
, depend greatly on the course of
= events as effected by the inhabi-
? tants hereafter. 1t is a law of
, the inevitable that nothing can
f remain at a standstlll. A town,
a mining camp, must either move
t forward or GO backward. It is
= time this community was taking
: tumble to itself, and instead of
e Tom antagonizing Dick and both
0 of them trying to quash Harry,
S all had better stand together for
e mutual interets and pull together
d for the general welfare of the
: community.
t 1t is true that White Oaks has
had hard knocks during the last
:, year or two. This is unfortu-
b nate. But these conditions may
:. be avoided, partially, if not en-.
e tirely in the future, and oppor.
t tunities made if they do not come,
O for better conditions. Organiza.
d ton and a union of sympathy
r and a pull all together for the
! investment of capital in our min
u es and prospects would bring
/, good results. Don't condemn il
It unless you first try it.

ORES, MINES AND MINING.

1t is also true that electricity is
generated by friction and decom-
position, and that it is the only
element or substance over which
we have any control which ena-
bles us to transmit metals from a
solvent and redeposit them in a
crystalline state. 1t is natural for
us to believe that electromagnetic
tism is the force in nature which
works this change in metals, re-
depositing them at the nearest
point of attraction.
Intelligent mining men believe
that some process will yet be dis
covered whereby electricity will
enable them to extract the pre-
CiOuS metals from their mblna-
ton with baSer metals at a less
cost than has heretofore been
done"
The Daily Mining Record has
this to say regarding the forego-
ing proposition:
1T is proper to state that in
this connection that for a long
time past experiments have been
carried on by skilled electricians
whereby in the present state OF
progress it has been distinctly
determined that ores containing
precious metals can be rapidly
segregated by electrical applian.

OWNERS WANT ASPHALT
SOUTH wABAsHA STREET. DELE
CATION WAITS ON BOARD
Their Request May Receive Favor
able Attention if Il Signed
Petition is Sub
mitted.

through the efforts of several of the
members of the council South Wabasha
has been saved from the general wreck
incident to the resembling and rejection
OF the. many paving orders which failed
to comply with the council injunction, or
called for some material other than
brick, but even this one thoroughfare
now seems doomed to go the way of the
rest
Yesterday delegation of property
owners along that street called on the
board OF public works and asked that
asphalt be substituted for brick as the
material for paving. The demand seem
ed to be general, and the delegation was
instructed by the board to obtain sign
ed petition, and it would receive the con-
sheraton desired
Assemblyman Dix was mainly instru-
mental in saving the final order which
called for brick but he has been com
PEELED to recognize the demand for as
phalt and says he will not stand in IT'S
way This will necessitate the creation
of new order
That for Lafayette avenue is
now the only order outstand-
ing in which brick is specified
and it is expected that a petition viii
shortly be received asking for the sub
stitution of asphalt. This will delay the
work and prevent its completion until
next year. Bids, however, can be called
for this year. s.,
