ABOUT PROSPEC1UsES
A Good Enterprise May Bs Ruined by
 Overstatiug It.

The EldOra, Colo, Miner makes some very sensible statements as follows:
 The business of dealing in prospects is as legitimate a part of the mining business as selling a full-1edged mine. But the promoter has no business to at tempt to pass off undeveloped claims as prospects. and prospects as mines.
 The dividing line between the pros pect and the mine is hard to draw in many cases, but it is safe to say in d general sense that possession of an ade- quate hoisting and mining apparatus. and the steady shipment of ore in pay ing quantities, no matter how small the margin of profit or how large, con stitutes mine.
 The prospector must get in his work first before these conditions can exist however. The prospector and his faith full beast of burden, the mountain canary" these two inseparable com panions of mountain pioneering have opened up territory that could never have been reached but for them, and today that territory is teeming with producing mines.
 The prospect must come before the mine, it is true but the scalp we are or the warpath for is that Of the man who puts out literature booming a ten or

even fifty-foot or hundred-foot pros peot hole, shaft or tunnel as a mile. when not a pound of ore, other than the assay samples, has ever been shipped, put on the dump or eveh blocked out
 Equally as bad for a mining camp is the honest but too enthusiastic fei low who believes that because his claim adjoins a rich producer that therefore he has a bonanza and proceeds to boom his property in glowing prospectuses. Of, course contiguity is a faVorcb'e thing, but it is no guarantee that the neighboring ore chute extends into his property, or even if it does of what value is it in many cases under that form of legalized robbery, the apex law?
 We have before us at the present time a sample of this class of literature which will do more harm than good because of it's over-enthusiasm. They speak of their property as famous - mine" yet are selling stock to equip 1t with machinery they state it is within a mile and a half of a mine that has produced s7.OOO,OOO of silver, giving one to infer that they were on an ex- tension of that great property, when the truth is that two mountains with intervening valleys and streams lie be- tween the properties and their geolog ical formations are unlike, one is q gold bearing Assure, the other, one Of the greatest silver mines in the couu- try when in operation. They also hang up a bait of 400 per cent profit on the investment Now the owners of this property and it's chief officers were among the pioneers of this camp and arc men of honor and integrity. but they made the mistake on returning 10 their old home in the east, of having a lawyer who was never west of the Mississippi, and never saw a gold mine, write their prospectus. The result is that the case is overstated.
 Now lest we be misunderstood, let us say we have personally examined the properties referred to and they are splendid prospects, that by the judi cious expenditure of a very reasonable amount of money could be made into producing mine, giving excellent re- turns on the investment.
 The overstatement Of a really gooG property is apt to injure the entire dis trict as well as the property, for the average eastern investor is apt to be quitter when it comes to putting up the money for development that brings no dividends for a long time.
 The man with a prospect should re- ceive all the encouragement that tn 2 mining press can give him in leglti- mate manner. and he should be willing on his side to give true information to the press for accurate and reliable publicity in the mining press will draw more capital to him and his district than all the scareheads of the yellow dailies.

TaE PRODUCER MINE
Frank Browntll Sells to a New Com
 pany for S10,000.

An important mining deal was closed in Tucson Tuesday, says the Citizen. It is important from several stand points. The deal will mean the de- Velopment of one of Pima county's noted mining districts. and the spend ing of thousands of dollars in this city for supplies. The Producer group of mines changed hands yesterday. Frank Brownell, the we'll known mining man, sold the property to the Producer Min ing and Milling company. The pur- chaser was represented by J. w. Me Coy, president of the company, and Judge E. E Johnston, attorney for the company The consideration named in the deed was s10,OOO. The same parties have another big deal pending.
 The Producer group comprises nine full claims. It is located in the Qui- jotoa district, about fifty miles south of Casa Grande. The property was To- cated by MT. Brownell years ago and it has been consistently developed through his efforts. At present there are 5000 feet of work done on the group, in shafts, drifts and open cuts. On the producer claim a shaft has been sunk to depth of 110 feet. This shaft was sunk off the main lead with view to striking the ore when the proper depth should be attained, and at the same time to be in safe ground. A drif: was run off from the 100-foot level for a distance of thirty-seven feet, cross cutting and disclosing a pretty vein of solid ore some eleven feet in width. Tha rock carries gold, silver and copper. There are about 50,000 tons of ore hl sight in the various workings, and at least 5000 tons on the various dumps. This ore will average about s30 to the ton. The Producer, it will be seen, has passed from the prospect stage. It is a proven mine. With proper develop ment and machinery it should prove 2 bonanza.
 The camp will be known as Brownell being named after the original promo ter. The company is satisfied that MT Brownell understands the property better than any one, and has retaine1 him as superintendent. He will leaIs for San Francisco tonight to buy ma chinery to facilitate development. HC will purchase a hoist and pump. Tn, workings have reached water level and the pump will be necessary to pur- sue the work to greater depth. smelter will be installed in the neal future. and Brownell should make . large and prosperous camp. petition for a postof1ice is already in, and sub stantial buildings are being erected.
 The company is a close corporation Sufficient stock has bcen sold already for complete development. The com pany expects to spend S100,00 in th' next couple of years on the property

HosSON's RETIREMENT.
President Recommends on Account In
firnities and Gallant Service.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE President,
today, sent to the Senate message
recommending the retirement of Natal
Constructor Richmond =. Hobson. AND
in accordance with this recommenda>
ton Senator Gallinger Immediately in
troduced bill providing for Hobson's
transfer to the retired list. In his mes
sage the President gives as his reason
that Mr.. Hobson has had since 1900
trouble with his eyes and the history
o. that trouble.
1t appears that in June, 1900. he was
admitted TO the naval hospital at Yoko-
hama, Japan, when, according to the
records. he suffered from weakness of
the eyes and retinitis, which infirmities.
il was stated, had been contracted
while on duty in repairing ships at
Hong Kong. In January. 1902, he was
examined by retiring board, which
declared that his incapacity was such
az to justify retirement.
The message concludes as follows:
I'm consideration of the foregoing, but
especially of the gallant service rem
dered by Mr.. Hobson in the sinking OF
the Merrimack in the harbor at San
tiago, during the recent war with
Spain, recommend the enactment of IL
suitable measure for his retirement

helper or mechanic and the third q
watchman.
At about go this morning. the
watchman. Edward Winn, was making
his rounds and was approaching the
office when he was seized around the
neck from behind by a man. While he
was firmly held in this position an
other man pinioned his arms, brought
them down behind him and tied them.
Then gag was forced into his mouth
previous utterance being prevented by
the pressure upon his throat. The other
two men employed by the company, be-
ing in different parts Of the establish
nient. knew nothing Of what was 60
ing on.
Winn. threatened with death at the
D,uZZle of revolverS, was forced into
the office. where he found himself in
the presence of five men. One was left
10 guard him. The others began to
work on the safe. After boring hole
in the door they inserted an explosive.
When all was ready they dragged the
Waterman out Of the room and IA mo-
ment later the charge in the safe door
was exploded. Then all the men went
back into the office, taking the watch
man with them. Immediately they be-
gan work on the second door and in a
short time that was ready for an ex-
plosion. Again the Waterman was
pulled out Of the office and the dis
charge followed.
AS he was kept without the door the
Waterman heard the rattle of silver
coins and knew that the robbers had
secured money. a few moments later
the men We're ready 10 leave. and di-
recting one of the number to bring up
the team" the others paused by the
captive Waterman. Just then the ma
chinist. who had heard the sound of
the explosion, came running up, but
his advance was checked by the sight
Of levelled revolvers and a remark from
one of the men, Now go back and
don't be foolish"
Then the sound Of wheels was heard
and one of the four robbers said:
Come on, hurry up. let's get out"
They climbed into the team and drove
rapidly away. Immediately Waterman
Winn began a violent struggle to free
himself and he succeeded just as the
nachiniSt. who had been driven back
by the robbers, appeared on the scene.
The story was quickly told and while
one man went to alarm the police the
other sounded an alarm on the whistle
of the railway company which called
together a gang of employees. Mean
while the superintendent, who lives not
far from the barn and who had been
awakened by the sound of explosions,
arrived and systematic search for the
robbers was begun. The police as soon
as possible sent the alarm into adjoin-
ing towns. The robbers We're seen
going through Florence, going in the
direction of Williamsburg.
From the systematic and daring way
in which the work was conducted, as
well as the celebrity with which the
men operated, it is believed they were
professionals.
