profit, even though he paid 81 share.
1t is sometimes questioned whether
the treasury stock Of a company when
has hut recently been organized on
group of claims is worth twenty-five
cents a share. Suppose the capitaliza-
ton to be 900, 600 shares, this price
makes the estimated value of the prop.
erty $25O,OOO OF course, the prospects
could not be sold ut this figure, but IT
must be understood that the $2a,OW
represents the price Of the property after
two.thirds of the proceeds from the sale
of the treasury stock have been expend-
ed in developing the mine, which might
then he worth 81 ,OOO,O 600.
The investor is too often anxious to
secure returns almost Immediately.
Sometimes one person may invest in
mining stock at the early price and hold
onto II for year or more: another will
come in at the close Of this time and buy
the stock ut the same figure. A short
time after, an ore body is found and the
mine comes to dividends. Other inves.
tors think that their stock should pro-
duce large returns soon. When such an
investment IL made, the buyer should
wait patiently for the development. OF
the property into mine, and II the in.
vestnent has been carefully made he Is
almost sure to receive large returns.
II il true that often "wild.cats" are
turned loose upon the country. The
western miner, however, Is not more to
blame than the eastern promoter for
setting these animals loose. Companies
are formed by such promoters on pros
poets which may or may not have good
showing. The par value Of the stock Is
put high and then the price is put low.
The investor, himself, il not altogether
blameless, though he may be unaware OF
his part. One Of the first questions he
asks is: "What il the par value OF
mining stock?' II this IL so u share
and he il getting the stock for from
twenty-five cents to 81 u share, he thinks
he is getting from - to 1915 for moth
ing.
Promoters, both eastern and western,
make note Of this and net accordingly.
The questions which should be asked
are: SIS the property well located?"
"What il the number Of shares?" sis
the management capable and honest?'
II the investor would always take
pains to find out where he is putting his
| money, there would be less danger from
"wild.cats." d..
In conclusion, may say that there Is
no form of investment which is 10 con.
venient for the man who has little
means. No other investment offers the
opportunities that a good investment in
well chosen mining stock offers. With
a realization Of the common interests
between the eastern investor and the
western miner. there would be less com.
plant, more profits and greater prosper
ity and happiness.-W. II. Tibbals, Phi.
d., Of salt Lake, in United States Jour
nal for Investors.

must be given up and all that had been
put in lost, but it has not unfrequently
happened that this last shot opened the
door to the great treasury vault. Many
thousands Of dollars were spent in the
development of one Of the mines Of

abandoned, when Il fortunate shot open

nearly $4,000, 900 in dividends have been

There are several forms Of Investments.
The capitalist who has much idle money

prefers to invest his money in this way
rather than to buy for II few hundred
dollars group Of prospects, which may
be developed into good paying mine at
less than II quarter Of the cost of the
investment he il making in the mines.
Only large capitalists or strong syndi-
Gates can handle such Investments.
Another form Of investment il that Of

recently come to dividends and II the
dividends are being earned by the mine,
the stock is II good investment for those
who have money that they wish to put

Der, however, that the average life Of u
mine IL not more than seven to ten
years. Some companies extend their
life and greatly increase their profits by
buying adjacent properties. The Silver
King, the Daly.West and other c'mpan-
les Of this state have done this.
Another class Of investment is found
in the cheap treasury stock Of new

many western miners for securing capi-
tai for development. A company IL or.

LIBERAL WITH THE LANDS.
A Large Amount Has Been Granted to Public Uses by the State
 of Washington

After nearly 13 years of work State Land Commissioner Calvert, of Washington, announces that of the 667,0s0 acres of land granted the state of Washington by the enabling act of 1889 all have been selected with the exception of 3 3,161 acres. These will be selected during the coming summer and the entire grant thus filed, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The granted lands are distributed as follows: State penal reforma tory, eleemosynary and educational institu- tions, 100000 acres; state capitol grant, 132,000; state normal school, 100000; agricultural college, 100, ,000; scientific agricultural college, 100, GOO; scientific schools, 900; state univer- sity, 4,5So. These lands are exclusive of common school lands, which are sections 36-16 in every township in the state. Some of these sections have been lost by inundation and other causes.
 The government permits the state to select indemnity lands for those lost, and of this class the state has about. 100000 acres to select. Owing to the scarcity of remaining government lanGs it is doubtful if the state can re- cover a very large portion of the school lands thus lost

BASEBALL IN EARLY TIMES.
When the Players Were Chosen More Tor Their Vocal Powers Than
 Knowledge of the Game.

It was on those rural fields in the heyday of baseball that the sport. if less refined, was more picturesque. That the game was vocal goes with the saying. Not far away from the truth was the country captain who descrtned his team as linen who can't par much, or field much, but first-rate takers" To dispute the umpire on every close decision was orthodox duty-a fasb1on not yet outlived-and it made Tne-ruIal ball game forensic as well as spectacu- lar, says Outing.
 The country umpire, who was usu- ally selected by the home team merits his specific picture. In the earlier days of the sport he was chosen for Knowl- edge of the rules simply because the opposing bucolic hines had so Itr1le knowledge themselves. Later, recnnltal lore became somewhat secondary as a credential, and in the ideal rural U1n- pire was sought a kind. of Boanerges- Son of Thunder, believing out his decisions until the well1in echoed, and able, on the one hand, either to piacate the crowd by good temper or to daunt 1t with strong speech. That is to say, the umpire of the time and placehad to own no middle terms of personal tenn perament, but be either extremely crisp or superlatively goodnatured and tactful.

HEAD-ON COLLISION
Motorman Killed and Many Passengers
 Injured at Marlboro.

Marlboro, Mass, June 30.-In a head on collision between two heavily loaded cars on the Hudson division of the Marlboro street railway Saturday even ing, Motorman John H. Harris received injuries which caused his death, and about thirty-five passengers and em- ployes were injured several of them to such an extent thar they were re- moved to the hospitals for treatment.
 About twenty-five others were slight ly injured but were able to go to their homes. The accident took place about two miles from Marlboro, at the foot of a steep grade, and the cars came to- gether with such force that they were almost completely demolished. One car left Marlboro at o'clock and was in charge of Conductor Felix Sawyer and Motorman William $. Moore. The other car, loaded with workingmen, left Hudson about the same time. in charge of Conductor Hugh McNiff and Motor man John H. Harris. Both cars were going at good rate of speed and came in sight of each other as they were rounding a curve at the foot of q heavy grade. The motormen were unable to reverse in season to prevent collision and the cars came together with ter rife force, Conductor McNif's car being telescoped and the roof almost com pletely removed
 Motorman Harris was terribly crushed and died while being taken to the Birmingham hospital. Motorman Moore also received severe injuries about the head and body. Several doc tors from neighboring towns were soon on the scene and immediately took steps to look after the wants of the in- Jured. Several of the passengers on both of the cars jumped just before the cars came together, but those remain ing ill their seats were thrown about promiscuously and then crushed by the timbers or received minor injuries from flying glass and splinters.
 Motorman Harris was about 3S years old. Conductor Felix Sawyer. although apparently only slightly injured, went into conyu1sions shortly after the acci dent and was in q serious condition. The attending physicians saTd that Conductor Sawyer and Alex Lord are unconscious and in serious condition. while the condition of M6e0rman Moore is critical. and it is believed he will not survive his injuries.
 All the persons who were taken to the Birmingham hospital are comforta ble and doing well. No more deaths are expected.

A Grewxome Monumenf.

s'In crossing the Colorado desert in Arizona one sees frightful monument to the folly of man who thought he could drive cattle across the desert with such speed that water would be unnecessary" said Mfr. s. T. James, Of San Francisco. More than 2O,00O car- casses lie at The Pools, in that desert. Thirty years ago an extensive cattle man, who was not familiar with the southwest, thought it would be no barrier to his plan of taking cattle across it from the west into the graz ing country. When the cattle reached The Pools, which are small lakes of foul alkali water, they were so crazed by thirst that they killed each other in their attempt to get at the water. The air in that country is so dry and the sun so hot that carcasses dry up in stead of decomposing As one ap- breaches that great herd of dead ami ma1s the carcasses look as though they were poorly fed cattle. The hair has not fallen from the carcasscs and they have maintained their original shape. Cleveland Leader.
