 The Passing Of Ornamental Expert.
 Many good mining properties in Cal ffornia and Nevada have been turned down by some expert" sent to exam inc them, for the reason that it was easier to make reputation by report. ing unfavorably than the reverse and the hard work which a careful examination would entail. was avoided
 Some of the mines, which have paid dividends for years, were reported un- favorably on by some famous "eX- pert" whose reputation rested per haps on an accidental stroke of good luck, or the major portion of the tl- phabet as an appendix to his name
 Think heaven that old school of 'ex perts' is passing away and capital is now invested on the judgement of practical mining engineers, men who are not averse to entering a mine per sonally and exploring the workings. men who are capable of judging of the probable value of a mine for no one can assert positively what the actual value may be.
 Hartwig A. Cohn, at the head of an exploration board which cost Captain De La Mar s120,000 per annum, re- ported unfavorably on the big mines of Tonopah, and the millionaire miner was so disgusted that he ceased to maintain board which was so blind as not to be able to discern a fortune under grass roots. But that is only one instance. There are hundreds which might be cited. The mining engineer who possesses, not only thorough knowledge of mining geolo gy, but who is a practical miner, IS the man who will be sought afte. future.
 Even capitalists whose ideal mining engineer has been the kid glove club man who can recite well rehearsed leson on formations and the gnesis of metals, bristling with technical terms, are abandoning their old ideas and getting rid of these costly experts" whose learned reports were so often disproved by the pick and faith of prospector with less tchnical knowl- edge. but more common sense.-Min- ing and Engineering Journal.
