Ii is stated that much capital
has been driven from the La Plata
district daring the past sixty days by
exorbitant prices asked for mining
properties, This policy will not give
the district much progress and cannot
result in many desired sales.
Among the people who are coming
to the La Plata district to operate, the
most desirable are men with money
who are willing to help make mines
out OF prospects, for this has to be
done in all districts when there are
no longer any mines on the market.
A few hundred dollars expended in
developed property of merit is surer of
returns than the same amount spent
in prospecting from grass roots, A
ten-foot hole on a good looking vein
is cheaper at five hundred dollars than
nothing is shown.

The Denver Post had story from
Telluride the other day under Tellu-
ride date. stating that cowboys at
Vance Junction had been held up by
the Sargent train robbers and making
a sensational story out of same 1t now
transpires that the story was pipe

the Post. This shows the extent of
yellow journalism and the unreliable
ty of such stun appearing in red ink
papers. The Post is u newsy sheet
but it should keep within bounds.
Charles Fleck returned last evening
from the Oro Fino district, where he
spent the past ten days developing
claims in which he is interested Mr.
Fleck is one of the firm believers in
the value of the La Plata mining dis
trict. and is backing up faith with
his spare change and hard work on the
side. Others could profit by doing the
same thing, as a section that furnishes
