NEW BUSINESS R

The b. d O. store has been pur-
chased by III. E. Pilon, who took
charge of that place on Thursday
last. The store will be conducted
under the name b. & O.. as for
merly.
Mr.. Pelon left here Friday for
Denver, Omaha, Chicago and st.
Louis, to purchase a stock of dry
goods with which to supply the
trade. He will be absent until
about the first of June, when he
will return to push business.
During his absence the store will
be in charge of his son, w. A.
Pilon.
Mr.. Pilon is an old travelling
man, having been with the Brown
Shoe Co., of st. Louis, for the
past twelve years. Mr.. Pilon
lives in Lincoln at present, but
will move his family to this place
and put his shoulder to the wheel,
along with the rest of us, and help
to make Saratoga the town of the
valley. The people of Saratoga
will give the new firm a fair share
of patronage and Mr.. Pilon will
endeavor to please all who favor
him with their trade.

MINES AND
DEVELOPMENT
lis I~mpracticable and it's
Practical Application
to Upper Platte
District.
FACTS VERY ABLY EXPRESSED
Giving Some Reasons for the Slow De.
%velopment in Mines-seientife
Work From This On.

The development of prospects
into mines-mines in the accepted
sense of the term-calls for the
investment of a greater amount Of
money than any one not having a
practical experience in the bust
ness can realize.
A study of the history of the
mining industry as gathered from
the reports of actual expenditures
found in the reports of mining
engineers, managers and superin-
tendents of the worlds most ia
nous producers, Develops the fact
that it requires at least, on an
average, of five years of intel!i-
gently directed work to develop
into a dividend paying mine a
mineral prospect having the most
promising surface showing. This
means that investors in an enter
prise of this character should
place themselves in a position
commanding the road to success,
from which every element of the
chance possible may be elimina-
ted. The first, and the one thing
necessary, is the employment of
capable, economical management.
The compensation equal to servi-
ces of this character strikes the
average layman as rather high,
but the many whose experience
has led them to look upon mining
with suspicion is convincing evi.
dence that adequate compensation
for skilled labor is true economy.
Available funds to the amount of
S250,OOO is the next requisite to
u successful issue in the develop
lnent of a mineral prospect of
merit into a mine. This is a very
conservative estimate and it is
only under the most favorable
conditions that the expenditure of
this amount that dividends can be
made possible.
If my readers will take the pains
to look up the amount expended
upon Montana's great copper pro-
Queer before dividends were forth
coming, they will find that it was
a little short of five million. The
history of the development of
mines in the great gold producing
section of South Africa, known as
the Rand, is replete in facts, prov.
ing that one and one-quarter mil
lions is the average expenditure
on the development of a mine be-
fore dividends begin to reimburse
investors.
Enormous as these amounts
may appear to others than exper-
fenced mining men, it takes but a
comparatively short time for a
dividend paying mine, properly
managed, to clear itself of all in
debtedness to investors and pile
up the profits that add to their
wealth until they become million
aires.
The writer has been repeatedly
called upon to explain why, with
its claimed extensive, phenomena
surface showing, SO little progress
has been made in the develop
ment of the mineral IL o

A', "h' u cSSh ohS oiiiy
means thus far made available to
investors in this otherwise favored
section. Otherwise the history of
mining in this section is but the
repetition of all new nGning dis
tricts.
Development of the mineral
resources of southern Carbon
county, Wyoming, during the
years 1903 and 1904, constitute
two eras in the history of the de-
velopment of the Upper Platte
mining district.
Nineteen hundred and two as
the close of that period of fever
ish excitement, incidental to the
boom consequent to an unpre-
cendented mineral showing at the
grass roots through mere surface
Something's; flushed by irrespon-
sible promoters of wildcat invest
ments and rattle headed tender
foot spectators. Through the
representations of the first, the
impossible was assured; through
the operations OF the second, the
results possible m%iscarried by I'M
experienced management, stuffed
with an utter but complacent and
invincible ignorance of even a
r~udimentary knowledge of practi-
cal mining.
The victims of wildcat invest
ments are legion. They increase
and multiply apparently With the
fecundity of the Belgian hare.
They are of that numerous class
that sink judgment in the dark
pool of greed, and rush blindly
along the avenues of financial
destruction in their desire to Sc
cure the impossible, something for
nothing. The class is so numer-
GUS and their undoing so common
an occurrence, that they no longer
excite ever passing pity. The
conditions wrought through in
vestnents of this character are
not in any marked degree respon-
sible for lack of progress in devel-
opment, as there may have been a
promise, but surely no pretense of
investment in the real direction
of the real thing by the knights
of kingly millions-in the air.
The real mischief has been
wrought by inexperienced mama
gers and superintendent, who, in
the main, have been good and
capable men in their several places
the farm, the Office or rostrom in
a school room. In their appoint
ment to the management or super
intendency of the development of
mineral prospects, nc consideration
had been given to the time they
should have worked at the bust
ness in order to attain anything
in the nature of practical prof
cheney. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been expended by
men of this class in misdirected
efforts at development. In most
Instances the men behind the
funds have become discouraged,
refusing to further contribute to
monuments of their own folly;
they sulk and curse the country
when they ought to employ some
husky hobo with hob nails in his
boots to kick them through their
cross-cut tunnels and other min
ing monstrosities excavated by
them and their ilk, thus marring
the face of bounteous nature.
The new era in development
opened up with the season of 1903.
While heavy development is not
the order of the day, yet very
much is being done upon such a
scale as transportation conditions
admit of. The wildcat accompa.
niment is practically eliminated,
remedial methods are being ap.
piled in many instances; in Others

tainment- of desired results has

cut for s feet.
In speaking of the lead Mr..
Lobdell stated it was unquestion-
ably the same body of ore cut at
the l2O foot level.
Something over 275 tons of ore
have been taken from the cross
cuts at the 100 and ITO foot levels.
IT'S tons of which are in the ore
house. Altogether there are be-
tween 400 and 500 tons of ore in
bins and on dumps taken from the
Wolverine that could be shipped
We're the company SO disposed.
In speaking of the operations
Mr.. Lobdell said: at is not our
intention or wish to withhold the
facts regarding the mine from the
public. However, there are a
great many exaggerated statements
and misstatements go out that in
the end react to the detriment of
the property, and in order hat
such reports should not go out, it
is necessary to keep everything as
quiet as possible. We have no
secrets concerning Che mine, and
are willing to give any person the
facts, providing he is sincere and
not prompted by idle curiosity.
"There is a grea: deal of work
to be done before the Wolverine
can be classed as a mine, or before
we can think of taking out ore.
The future for the property looks
well, and justifies the confidence
of the stockholders forming this
company. l believe the facts con-
corning the Wolverine are sufi-
silent, and we shall give nothing
but facts for publication"
The work done by Mr.. Lobdell
since taking charge of the work
speaks for itself, The general
appearance of everything in and
around the mine shows care and
judgment. Quiet and unassuming,
but thoroughly capable of super
intending the operations of the
mine, which is evidenced by the
result of his work, Mr.. Lobdell
has worked untiringly for the de-
velopment of the property, and
deserves the hearty support and
cooperation of every stakeholder
in the company.
The selection of Joe Montague
for superintendent was certainly
a Just recognition of the ability of
that gentlemgn. Mr.. Montague
is practically responsible-for max
ing a success of the Wolverine. 1t
was through his management the
present working shaft was started,
which resulted in the location of
the lead.
While there has been no doubt
as to the Wolverine ultimately
developing into a mine, the cut
ting of the ore body in that prop
erty at a depth of 10 feet is a
ource of much qualification to
the people here, as there is now
very little question as to the per-
manency of the ore body.
The foregoing statements in
this article concerning the VOL
VERNE, are cold facts, and may be
verified by any one in doubt, and
it is upon Mr.. Lobdells authority
and with his permission this arti-
Gle is published.-Pearl Mining
Times.
The history of the above des-
cribed property points to a moral
involving the fatal parallel empha-
sising the difference between the
honest, practical workman of ex-
perience, and the charlatan. The
Coldwater company, upon acquir-
ing the Wolverine, through fatu-
GUS advice turned its development
over to a management lacking
both experience and other attri-
butes, considered by some old
