pity for the wretchedness of this world

the world at large, which, in pausing

that such an example as hers will not

THEIR
PROPERTY
Olinghouse Miners Develop
ing Properties Meet En-
couraging Results.

We hear men saying they cannot
develop because of lack of means
credit or cash.-and this is why they
are compelled to dig out the ore and
"gouge' their prospect for all ore in
sight. But the truth is that If you
desire, either credit or cash to develop
your property, you must get on your
ore and stay on It until you have
mine. or demonstrate the prospects
true value. If it is mine, then you
need not beg buyer. and perhaps
It would be we'll to remember, that the
fellow with the money seldom begs a
bargain. If your bonanza proves to
be only prospect, work 1t out or sell
1t and 60 on to the next, but don't
hang on forever and injure your calling
by being too hopeful. Above all things,
develop. lease. bond or sell, rather
than be barnacls TO a claim OF un-
known merit.
The manager who fails to develop
ore equal to maintaining daily output
necessary to continue operation Of
mill or reduction plant. is IN bad way
TO guarantee dividends.
Fortunately for the camp. Ira Miller,
general manager for the S. N. M. Co.,
has begun the sinking Of a 4x6 pros
pecting shaft upon the the right hand
lead of the Cabin No. Q. This shows
that Mr.. Miller has not only great
faith in the mines. but is re-handed,
and doing all he can to further the
interests Of his company. This work
will be prosecuted diligently and other
work Is contemplated which will,
without doubt. establish the value Of
the company's mines. Some changes
have been made with respect to man
agement Of mines and mills, but II
appears to have been mutual and up
to-date all is moving along nicely.
David Washeim is down from
White Horse gulch and reports big
cleanup on the Emma L. Mr.. Wash
elm had some high grade ore that
goes upwards into the thousands.
The Forlorn Hope is making splen-
did progress in the development work
under way and is disclosing more ore
each shift The property has more
ore in sight today than any one claim
in camp. The owners may depend
upon the present expenditure as being
guilt-edge investment.
Among the small mines in camp.
Mr.. J. H. Sheehan & Co.. have in the
Crown Point an excellent property.
They. like others. have now begun
developing ore bodies to learn the real
merit Of the mine. This Is what we
all wish to know and what the investor
must know, ere he takes to the in
discriminate buying of undevel-
oped mines.
