MININGEXPERTS
Some Of the Mines They
Have Missed In Nevada
and Other Places.

IL Is Interesting W tOSOuht uO
tunes that mining experts have lost for
their employers, or, to speak properly,
that they failed to see were awaiting
them. An exper seldom errs in advis-
ing an investment that the showing
does not justify, but they often fall short
in Sc ing opportunities that present
themselves, says the Lovelock Tribune.
Every mining expert sent TO Tono-
pah in its early history turned the camp
down. One whom the writer knew
personally died with a broken heart
over the mistake he had made. De
Lamar sent his experts to Tonopah and
could have bought the entire property
for a few hundred thousand dollars, but
his experts reported that there was
nothing there. A Humboldt county
man had an option on the main part Of
Tonopah at one time for thirty thousand
dollars. The ore on the dump was
enough to pay for the mine. but the
expert he sent down advised against its
purchase. Now he could not buy the
same property for thirty millions. The
experts also reported against the We'd
ekind. They also turned down Cripple
Greek which is now producing thirty
millions a year. BY a lucky accident
the experts sent to Thunder mountain
did not see the true condition Of things
and recommended the property. The
snow was on the ground and they could
not expert the surface formation. They
afterward went in and condemned it.
But in the meantime Col. Dewey had
made the purchase and it has proven
to be a valuable mine. And through
that the whole district is developing
wonderfully.
There is a moral in all this. The
mining expert seems to be a sort of
necessary evil. His role is to keep
you from losing what you already have,
not to help you find a mine. The ex-
perts rnle is to err on the safe side.
He simply counts up what is in sight.
If you have money on deposit in a
bank the expert can 60 the bank and
tell you how much it is. This is the
same way he reports on a mine. He
never takes any chances. He can
measure up the ore in a mine, assay II
correctly and advise paying Just the
sum this shows, but not a cent more.
The expert never prospects. He
measured up the ore at Tonopah but
a unwilling TO advise Captain De
Lamar 10 pay a cent more than lust
what was in sight, and this lacked afew
cents Of the sum asked for the mine.
The captain who had ten millions lying
idle in the bank wouldn't risk a dollar
on the Tonopah lodges going down.
He missed a chance to make probably
the greatest fortune the world has ever
known. 1t is believed that Tonopah is
greater than the Comstock. The min
ing expert is all right in his place but
his place is a mighty small one.
Of course this sweeping generality IS
not true Of all experts Some are big
enough to risk an opinion. But til, y
give 1t purely as an opinion, They are

Hitchcock, Wilson and Wiley Also
to visit savannah This Fall.
Secretary George B. Cortelyou, OF
the Department of Commerce and
Trade will visit Savannah this fall
and may be accompanied by Secretary
Hitchcock of the Department of the
Interior. Secretary Cortelyou has al
ready accepted an invitation to visit
this city as part of an itinerary of a
Southern tour that he purposes max
ing and which probably will embrace
most of the cities of importance be-
tween Richmond and New Orleans.
The invitation to come to Savannah
was extended through the Board of
Trade some two months ago. This or
ganization will invite the co-opera-
ton of the other trade organizations
in welcoming and entertaining its
guest, and such other persons as may
accompany him, during their stay in
this CITY.
These will not be the only distin-
guished visitors from Washington to
come, however, for a little later a
visit is expected from Secretary James
Wilson of the Department of Agricul-
ture, and DIR. H. w. Wiley, chief
chemist of that department who will
stop in Savannah en- route to visit the
syrup experiment stations established,
at Guyton, Waycross and other places
in Georgia.

SIXTH ORGAN RECITAL
BY Mr.. George BIakeley, Organist
of st. Johns Church.

The sixth and last organ recital OF
the series announced by Mr.. George
Blakeley, organists at st. Johns
Church. was we'll attended last night.
Mr.. Blakeley was assisted by Mrs. ].
]. Gaudry. contralto.
Opening with the overture to 1.-THE
Bohemian Girl" the evening music was
so arranged as to give pleasure to the
whole audience. Variety in style was
furnished, and while all of the num-
bers were strictly within the bounds
of dignity, the majority were not out
of the keen of the average listener and
the most important of the selections
were given full and close attention.
The programme included the Nor
ceau de Concert, on the prayer from
der Frieschuetz," (Weber) the over
ture to Don Giovanni" (Mozart), the
andante movement from Haydn's
Symphony in G., and Claimants Senate,
No. l, in D Minor, Op. AZ. Also two
marches, of more or less interest
Probably the Guilmont Senate, even
though beyond the understanding of
some and not interesting to all, was
most generally pleasing. 1t is claim
ed on the programme to be among the
most remarkable and original organ
works in this form. Certainly it Is
well worthy of the attention given and
played as the audience heard it last
night, won new friends for the Gull
mant school. The largo movement,
with its great depth and breadth of
color, its fine pedal solo and splendid
shading brought music Iovers much
enjoyment The sprightly allegro in
creased interest and the nastoraIe,
proved dainty interlude, bringing out
more forcibly the brilliant finale.
Mrs. Gaudry's numbers, an arose
from 1.-The Death of Joan of Arc, F"
(Bemberg), and Lead Kindly Light"
arranged by Protheroe. were sung in a
most charming manner the first men,
toned being particularly pleasing.

To secure Savannah's fund for par

is in Savannah. and with Secretary
w. ]. Donlan of the Chamber of Com
merce, and Maj. J. Ferris Cam, chair
man of the Committee on Subscrip-
lions, will to-day call on the leading
business men of the city with view
of having them interest themselves in
the movement.
'It is absolutely necessary that Sa-
vannah do at once whatever she is go
ing to do about the matter" said Mr..
Gould yesterday then he explained
that he intends to issue the Greater
Georgia issue of his paper the last of
June and that all matter that is to get
into 1t must be ready by the first of
the month, consequently If Savannah
is to be represented immediate action
must be taken.
Mai. Cam was out of the city yes
terday but he was wired by Mr.. Dom
Ian and stated he would be here this
morning and would take the matter
I'D at once. AS a number Of business
men have already signified their SYM
pathy with the movement IL Is be-
lieved that no trouble will be encoun-
tered in securing such a sum as will
assure this city of the space and place
that her size and commercial impor-
lance entitle her to.

THE COMING OF. SUMMER.
Society Welcomes the Season of
Quiet Pleasure.

Society Welcomes the Season of
Quiet Pleasure.
The close of an unusually quiet win
ter brings with it no promise of sum-
mer excitement more than of that mild
sort that other seasons have made IA
miliar-pienics in the country, trolley
rides to Thunderbolt, with supper at
the Casino or Bannon Lodge, trips to
Tybee for a surf bath in the afternoon
and dance in the evening
There is usually at this time talk of
June weddings to divert society from
dulness, but the engaged girl this year
seems to have forsaken her traditions.
and one hears rumors of few or no
fashionable weddings for next month.
Just at present the business of get
ting ready for the summer jaunt is
occupying womankind, and man wends
his way cheerfully to the office, serene
in the knowledge that frock coat and
dress suit are being packed up in cam
phor by his dutiful spouse, and that,
after a weary season of well-doing, he
has fallen heir to the luxury of linens
and summer fannels. 1t is observable
that no matter how young one may
be, nor how triumphant may have
been the winter this is the hour of
universal contentment.
AS transition period it has it's dis
advantages, for even in the press of
such weighty affairs as summer dress
making there are one or two enter
tainments that must still be given, one
or two last parties that one hates to

Georgia can win the trophy" He
stated that in addition to this trophy
the Hilton Trophy the Soldier of Mara
thon and some five or six other prizes
will be shot for.
Col. Lawton took his seat at the
