What 1t Takes to
Make a Mine.

cept those actively engaged IN the
business, who know what it takes
to make a mine or who realize
that, as in any other successful
business, the making of produc-
ing, dividend-paying mine often
requires a considerable length of
time and large outlay of capital.
A very popular idea, especially in
the East, is that it is only neces-
sary to stake out the claim, take
out the gold dollars and immedi-
ately begin to draw dividends.
Such is actually the case in a few
instances, where the ore is excep-
tionally rich on the surface and
conditions are favorable. but IN
the majority of the big paying
mines years have been taken in
development and fortunes expend-
ed before the reward was harvest
ed. Mining is like any other bus
iness. There is always the chance
of failure along with the bigger
chance of success, and even the
most competent men have been
fooled and lost fortunes.
A prospect may be future div
idend payer and still never be
worked or developed into a pro-
Queer. Some of the most promis-
ing properties have long been ne
elected since their discovery, lack
ing sufficient working capital to
prove their worth. The first thing
necessary, then, is to secure am
pie funds for thorough develop
ment. This is not easy, unless
the property is in some new sec
ton where excitement is at the
highest pitch and everything is
taken up regardless of worth. The
stock-buying public seems to pre-
fer the latest sensational camps,
when, in reality, some of the best
propositions are to be found in
districts where wild excitement
and hot air has not penetrated.
The amount of capital required
to put mine on a paying basis
varies according to circumstances.
The facilities for transportation;
the local advantages with regard to
wood, water and supplies; the
character of the ground and lastly,
the nature, amount and richness
of the ore must all be taken into
consideration. The running ex-
penses of a mine are very heavy.
Here are but a few items of gen.
eral expense. Often long tunnels
have to be run before the ledge is
tapped or a shaft sunk below wa
ter level to get values that will
pay. Tunneling costs from eight
to ten and twenty dollars a foot,
and sinking often a great deal
more. Miners wages are from 5;
to S. per day. Foremen and su.
perintendents get from $I25 to
$500 month and it always pays
to have a good man in charge
even though a relatively large sal
airy is given him. Mining ma.
chinery and supplies come high,
and even with the strictest econo.
my. the cash disappears with as
tonishing rapidity. 1t takes money
to make the mare go and it GER
tainly takes lots of it to properly
develop a mine.
With such conditions confront
ing the mine operator and with
the large element of chance enter.
ling into the proposition, it ought
to be readily seen that mine can
not be made in a day and the ex-

That Incorporation
Proposition.

have the town incorporated, nor
any improvements made in the way
of streets. fire-fghting facilities. a
water supply and sewer system.
We have come to this conclusion
from the fact that nothing has
been done by the committee ap-
pointed at a meeting some months
ago to interview the residents of
the district which would be en-
braced in the incorporated town
and see what their opinion of the
project was.
There seems to be dog-in-the-
manger policy existing here among
a few, who will neither make i'm
provements nor let anybody else
make them. 1t is an unfortunate
situation.
While the town is growing
some, it should be going ahead
faster under the excellent busi-
ness conditions that prevail at the
present time. The volume of bus
mess in this valley and town is
not exceeded by any other COM
munity of its size in the State. 1t
is business that is coming of its
own accord, without an effort on
the part of the business men to
secure it. This is a situation that
rarely exists outside of the State
of Nevada, and not frequently in
if these hustling days.
Anybody who tells you that
times are dull in Yerington hand
les the truth with parsimonious
frugality. to say the least. The
hotels are full, there is not va
can't house or room in town, there
is not an idle man in the place
who cannot secure work if he
wants it, and at good wages.
Farmers are paying 81 and g.. so
for haying hands and cannot Sc
cure enough men to get their
crops up in the right time. If
this does not indicate prosperity,
what does,
With all these conditions exist
ing we are living in shiftless
town, where everybody dumps
their garbage on the main street,
which makes it look like an alley
in some half deserted city. We
have no means of protecting our
property from FIRE after we have
created it; we are content to take
the chances of an epidemic of ma
laria because we have no sewer.
age system and no organized way
of building one. Just So long as
these conditions maintain you

A Coal Mine

l have for sale a going coal mine. with present output of about 100 tons. The capacity of the mine is about 300 tones. The smallness of the present output is due to lack of sufficient capital mainly, as well as some differences of opinion be- tween the interested parties. It is a domestic coal proposition, running about 60 per cent of the very highest grade lump coal. The closest investigation and inspection are invited. The product of this mine is in great demand and one retail dealer in Birmingham alone will take the entire output at higher figure than is being obtained for the best Cahaba coal. This retail dealer is now getting 9 cents ton more at retail for this coal than is being asked for the best Cahaba. The analysis of the coal indicates a superior coal to Cahaba or Montevallo. It is a drift proposition. There is claimed to be $35 000 actual cash invested in the con- cern. The financial statement of the company indicates gain of a few thous- and dollars on the investment, in spite of the disadvantages previously indicated. To get the best out of the proposition, there should be at least another s15,O0O invested. Upon agreed conditions, about $l0, 900 of present ownership could be re- tained This would be a matter of mutual agreement. The mine is on the Southern railway and will shortly have the Illinois Central, also. There will not probably be another such opportunity to get right in the coal business while conditions are so favorable. I can deliver this proposi- tion on prompt action.
