THE PROSPECT.
The Opportunities 1t Offers for
Legitimate Investment.


There is all the difference in the
world between a mine and a prospect,
the difference being that even the
most promising prospect usually re-
quires several years of intelligent
work and an expenditure of consider.
able money before it can take rank
as a producer.
There are many people who know
little about mining affairs, who think
that if they have a prospect they are
in possession of a mine. They NAV
be right in their conclusions, but it
will be an undeveloped mine, and of
no more present value, as far as pro.
duction of precious metals is con
eerned, than as if it were so much
vacant ground. A good prospect
has a certain intrinsic value. bat it is
not until the claim has been devel-
oped by shafts, tunnels, drifts and
crosscuts, and the ore bodies exposed
and blocked out for measurement.
that a prospect can properly be
classed as a mine and its &C tual value
estimated.
Although good ground has value.
1t can not have any mine value until
1t has been thus developed. AS a
result Of this, a prospect is one of
the very best avenues for legitimate
investment; good management can
develop il into a regular producer,
when it can be sold to a big mining
syndicate at a large profit.
1t is to be remembered, saws the
Journal for Investors, that every
mine, no matter how great it is, was
once a prospect, and that its devel-
opment into a paying proposition has
IN every cas- been attended by many
hardships and set backs. During its
developing stage it may have changed
hands several times, and many Of its
owners may have lost money, but
this should not be charged up against
the mine, but rather to bad manage.
ment and lack Of ability.
The great number of promising
prospects in the west is a remark
able feature of our country. Many
of them are only awaiting the assist
ance OF capital to develop them into
bonanza propositions. The noun
tains are teeming with them, and
thousands more are still to be dis
covered. Well managed companies,
operating in the gold fields, are de-
veloplng new prospects every month.
Many of them will probably make
rich returns for the investor.

The statement that the American
Smelling 4 Refining company at Salt
Lake are increasing their capacity
by two furnaces is correct and en-.
tirely due to the estimated future
output from this district. Plans are
also now formulating for the i~nstalla-
ton OF a big sampling plant at Mound
House which will facilitate the hand
ling Of ore, and also benefit shippers
as many will be able to ship in bulk
and thus AVOID the expense Of sack
ing.
