HOW MINES ARE SAILED
To Make An Examination of a Mine
 Is n Risky Proposition

The purchase and sale of gold mines has been associated with more fraud -outSide of patents and inventions than any other commercial operation. The mining capitalist no longer re
 gardS as sufficient the mere word oi the seller that he has fine property which yields ore uniformly like the specimen he has shown. II the capit- aliSt be interested enough, he sends an expert Co view the proposition not one Of these experts with a cloth cap corduroy coat and leather leggings. but real expert. who dresses plainly and does his work quietly, and when he has gone the camp does not miss him. The business of the expert is to ob tam for hiS client as much information as he can by examining the quality and fabulous wealth of the mine to it's lowest terms. It is not within thc province of him to decide the validity Oi the title but he must examine lOca- ton certificates at the recorders office. where they should have been duly re corded. for it must be understood that the iniormalitieS m the recording of ciais,,- y, iu tt,st uv t,firtatSu. tt~ ss'at must see to it that the one hundred dollars worth oi assessment work re- quired for the year has been done on the claim. In accordance with liberal mining laws of this country, by doine work 10 amount of five hundred dol lars in five years on the claim he has located. any citizen may perfect his title Co a part of the earth'S crust where he may dig out wealth exceeding the treasures of CroeSuS. But sometimes the discoverer is careless andnegleetS the work. and ii the property IS worth the trouble another jumps the claim. In land SO lax that a man IS content Co pace of his property instead vi measuring it with a tape line, it IS well for the expert Co observe details. and as we'll as examining these points he should also make dill%nt inquiries in- Co the family relations of the intending seller. Ha, he wife or wives: This may seem too intimate question for mining expert. but there IS such a thing in law as a dover right. ltiS well | known thiS point has been oNerlooNeu in some cases and the purchaser lost A chance to become rich.
 A certain mine m Montana was once bought on time at low price. Ot the purchase money SIsooo was paid down, and the deed made out and left in eS- cro until the remainder was paid. The capital thus furnished developed the mine into a veritable bonanza worth the option ten times over. About the time the final payment was due 1t was discovered that the wife had not signed the escro deed. She had not and would not and did not That settled Inc. The purchaser got his money back but he experienced the chagrin of see ing great fortune slip from his hng' CTS because he had neglected to ask
 'are you a married man?'

the hour At a recent wedding in St.
Georges, Hanover Square, London, the
brides train was borne by three little
girls in Empire gowns of ivory and
white chine silk yelled in white chiffon,
with 1chus OF the chiffon and high
mauve sashes. They carried baskets
of mauve sweet peas and wore the close
little lace caps At another wedding
there were two train bearers who wore
quaint long-Wzisted Stewart frocks of
white satin and had white chiffon fichus
caught together with white roses The
