tempting, those holding these small

to part with it. Some of them have held
it since 1878, and during all the years
which have elapsed since then it has been

You may think me foolish, but for
twenty-three years I have owned thi.
stock and it has always been to me a
source of income. l bought it just after
the first and only assessment was made
upon the capitalization. 1t was worth
something like 81 per share then. My
buy was 500 shares. and since then never
month has passed but what I get my
dig In on the cleanups I got tangled
up in jack pot a few years ago and
sold 500 shares for S47 per share; like the
fool that l was. l needed the money. but
could have raised it in other ways had l
tried: but Homestake was the quickest.
and the way in which my Offering of
those $500 shares at $47 was snapped up
made me sorry the moment after made
the transfer. 1t may be matter Of SEN
timent with me, but should some bloated
individual, with money to burn, come to
me and offer me $4,000 per share for my
300 shares I would tell him to seek
cline where it is usual Of the thermome-
ter to register higher degree of heat
than it has in Deadwood for the past
week. No; Homestake has made me alt
that possess-and it is now considerable
and l would be willing to pay years of
assessment on the 300 shares which
now own rather than part with them.
My Homestake stock is not for SALE"
Many of these small owners can sell
their stock for much above the quoted
price 500, but all of them, like the gen.
tleman above cited, will do so, content
with the monthly returns which their
stock brings, and supreme in their conf
dence of the company's management TO
always do them justice.

FERGUS COUNTY PROSPECTS

Falls-Spotted Horse Ore
Shipments.

A special correspondent writing from
I.ewistown, Fergus county, this state.
to the Great Falls Leader says that
John L. Westerngreen has bonded the
Consolidation and Saratoga claims on
Plum creek in the North MOccasin
mountains to L. S. Woodbury. of Great
Falls. These properties are located on
the west side of the mouth OF Plum creek
gulch at the extreme north end Of the
range and while but little development
work has been accomplished upon them
they show ore on the surface much
similar to that seen in the mines In the
vicinity of Kendall The bond extends
over a period Of ninety days, but the
consideration is not known. as the terms
are private.
The shipments Of high grade ore from
the Spotted Horse mine at Maiden for
this month will reach $1,000, but 1t is
likely that these shipments will be dis
continued as soon as the mill at the
mine is ready to resume operations.

GOING AFTER THINGS.

Two very important things
should be receiving consideration
in Grand Junction right now
which would fill in an outline oi
work bound to bring large returns.
One of these is hotel and the
other proposition is boring for oil
1t would simply be waste ol
words to set forth our need of a
commodious hotel. The trade OF
the city demands new hotel.
For some reason or another we
have not been able to interest cap>
ital in building hotel. or course
we know it will be built in the nat
ural course OF events. but it is right
now that we need it worse than we
will few years hence. Every
possible proposition has been can
vassed and not withstanding that it
has been demonstrated that hotel
property could be made to earn
good per cent, capital holds aloof.
1t is our judgement that, just as
soon as we abandon hope for out>
side help and organize home
company for the promotion Of the
enterprise ourselves, that soon will
it be built.
Money can readily enough be
borrowed once the ground is secur-
ed and beginning made.
Leadville, Ouiay and Telluride
adopted this system in mine devel-
opment with splendid results. 1t
can be done here and the problem
solved.
Oil unlike gold, does not follow
the rule that it is where you find it.
1t is found usually following cer>
tain geologic formation and Mesa
county has these indications set
forth strongly by the hand Of ma
ture. Those who study such for
nation say every condition is most
promising to discover oil.
1t does seem almost incredible
that with such remarkable indica-
tions of petroleum, that some one
has not had abounding faith to bore
for it.
We cannot suggest, in this case,
means to secure sufficient capital to
undertake careful exploration for
oil, but we have faith if the matter
is kept alive by newspaper agitation,
that some one will eventually work
to discover whether oil does exist
in the Grand Valley.
With a new and commodious
hotel and carefully prepared and
we'll organized plan for petroleum
exploitation we'll on its feet, we feel
that Grand Junction was really
trotting in the class to which it
was originally intended it should
belong.
