TONOPAH BONANZA
SATURDAY. JULY 80, 1904
Holm the Prospector.

III
People with no knowledge Of the
subject sometimes wonder why a state
like Nevada with SO many gold and
silver mines, should need outside cap
ital for mine development. They
think that a man who owns a gold
mine ought to be in a position to lend
money instead of borrowing it. Ii
the gold is in the mine, they argue,
why all the man has to do is to dig 1T
out ana pay as he digs. That, how
ever, is all very well in theory, but
the fact is that in gold mining; as IN
other branches of business into which
men enter, much more can be done
with capital than without it. Aman
may have a very good claim indeed,
and yet need financial help to bring
it to a productive stage. In quartz
mining the usual process is for a
prospector to find a claim, locate 1t
and sink a small shaft. II he has
good indications of permanency and
paving ore he sinks as far as ne can
to "make a showing" gets out what
he can and then wants to sell or get
somebody to help him out. Very few
properties pay for their own devel-
opment and equipment. II the pros
pector gets down a hundred feet or
more he is doing very well. Then he
needs pumps to take out the water;
a hoist for ore and waste; timber to
hold up his ground; men to do the
drifting; powder, tools, etc; and
boiler and engine for his machinery.
These things are all expensive and a
little claim or prospect can seldom
pay for them. So at a certain stage
of development Of these claims some
one must put capital in to carry on
the work and furnish machinery and
appliances.
This is why the every day miner OF
prospector is always looking for
somebody to invest money in his en-.
terprise, in which he usually has th6
greater faith. 1t is for the otheI
man to prove whether or no the faitI
is well founded. If the %prospecto
does not get this money he must sim
ply do his annual assessment wor
and hold on as long as he can, wit
hopes for the future. Were it nc
for this abiding faith in what he ha
found, more than half the mines dl'
covered would be given up at thei
initial stages. The prospeetor ear
not put up muscle and money at tt
same time. Hundreds and hundred
of excellent claims are for sale q
over this state and for the reason
cited. The claim may be among I'll
best in the country, but the own,
can not prove it without inanci
assistance. So the thoughtless pu
lie who suppose because a mar offe

worries AND SPICE

Heart shrinking, do pause at brink or arid waste
We needs must cross to reach the glowing land
That certain heth radiant beyond
And holds longings waiting but hand.
Mirageke that doth desert traveller beckon on,
Her canvas hath our hope hung cross the mist.
To tell to aintng heart of gems of fruit and bloom
That fervent hath into being kissed.
But just before doth lie the stretch of arid sand.
And Scorching winds reluctant flesh doth scar;
SO. weakly do make our meanings at the brink
While crouches at feet the form of fear.
With envy do gaze traveller returned
And Covet we his ivores and spice;
But what he wished came not unto his idle hand;
He braved the desert waste, and paid the price.
