Lead Mines in Demand.

The price of lead, now about 500 a
ton in New York, is expected to go to
$3.50 within a year.
The reasons for this rise are mainly
that no new lead mines have been dis
covered in long time, while those still
working cannot supply the ever in
creasing demand. The consumption is
greater than the supply, and even the
smelters are unable to secure enough
lead ore to tiux the enormous output
Of dry or silicious ores. In conse-
quence of this the output of the latter
class of ores is greatly curtailed, only
the richest of that class being taken 10y
the smelters.
This condition of affairs, however, is
very advantageous to the lead miners
and the demand for lead mines is, in
consequence, SO great that every pro
.ducing lode is sought after.
Our prosp spectors should take advan
tage of these fortuitous circumstances
and apply their best efforts to the
opening up of their claims-Ex.

Money in Developing Prospects

Money in Developing Prospects.
The Scientific Press gives mining in
vestors good advice in the following
The Press states the exact truth:
Until recently the eastern investor
wanted only going mines. To this day
the foreign investor discards the prof
fer of a prospect aud looks for de-
veloped property paying present profit
Both eastern and foreign investors
looked at the matter just as they would
in buying Industrial stocks and bonds
for Immediate dividends. A pros
pect or a partially developed property
was not worth considering. The Cali
fornia, Colorado or other western in-
vestors, on the contrary, have always
shown a desire to get hold of good
prospects aud develop them. Frankly
that is where the profit lies.
Almost without exception every big
mining operator has made most of bis
money by developing good prosp ct
The great fortunes of the great miners
living or dead. we're not made by buy
ing developed mines, but by develop
ing prospects iuto mines. 1t is in thai
way millions are made in mining, an6

Dr. r. 7. Clemmens, manager of the

the property for the winter and came
over here last Saturday, on his way to
his home in Denver. The doctor car
ried with him some of the finest speci-
mems of cirussibe it has ever been our
pleasure to see. Nothing at Leadville
can surpass it. He also showed US a
letter from the president of the com
pauy, who was recently at the property
and sampled it, in which he stated that
he had had an assay of the ore made
and it ran SO gold, 80 oz. silver and
1715per cent lead. DR.. Clemmens stated
that the ledge is 80 feet wide Of this
character. This will sound almost in
credulous to a Leadvile miner, but DR..
@. siys his samples are convincing aud
his statements can be verified. He has
been a Leadville operator himself, with
20 years experience. The Standard
company's group of claims is not

George Rasner, who for ten years has
been caretaker and miner on the Son
nemann properties at South Mountain,
came in from that camp, last Saturday,
to spend fortnight among his friends
here. 1t is curious to know that Ras-
ner has developed splendid showings of
copper in that ancient camp. Thirty
years ago, the Golcouda and other
mines over there, we're profitable sill
ver-lead produce S. But when they
were worked down to the water level,
where oxidization had not affected the
ores, they we're found to carry such a
percentage of zinc that they could no
longer be made to pay, and the camp
was practically abandoned. Several
years ago, Sonnemann & Branscome
acquired nearly ali the then known
leading claims, prospected, and located
others and patented an extensive
group They have done but little work
on them since, but have kept Rasner
there in charge. He has kept on dig
ging and has gone below the water
level only a short distance to discover
that the character of the ore again
changed, the zinc being replaced by
copper
Mr.. Rasner brought over with him
several fine specimens of copper ore
and is firm in the belief that his EN-
ployers have copper bonanza.

carries high percentage of copper
and that the claims belonging to Nam
pa parties, located in the same vicinity
J are also copper. This and the grea
width of the veins-the Rawhide Ledge
