GET A NEW
EQUIPMENT
Thunder Mountain Company
Making Big Preparations
For Coming Year.

Chas. E. Skiles, president of the
Thunder Mountain Gold Mining COM
pany, and Directors Casper Howarth
and H. B. Hanford, all of Philadelphia,
Pa, arrived Monday to look over the
cohpany's property on Crooked river.
The party left Wednesday fof Spokane,
accompanied by the company $ 5 manager,
Mr.. S. L. Boyer.
1--WE have decided to carry on some
very Extensive development work in the
mine the rest Of the winter. - said Fresi-
dent Skiles, "and work has already been
started on 60o-foot tunnel which is to
be run into the hill in manner that
will give us ore at considerable depth.
There is now enough good, ore in sight
to warrant running the mill, but the ex-
treme cold and the alterations that will
have to be made in the plant so we can
treat in sufficient quantity preclude op-
Grating until YARN weather comes"
President Stiles was well pleased with
the Improvement in the showing Of the
property that has been made since his
visit here in, the fall.
Several times recently there have
been rumors afoat to the effect that
great changes are to be made in the
Thunder Mountain company's plant in
the spring. It has been reported, and
the report is based on good ground, that
larger boiler and twenty-five stamps
would be added, and heating plant in
stalled to permit operations through the
winter. Mr.. Slkiles was asked the val5
ue of these REPORTS, and while he did
not give definite answer, his reply
conveyed the impression the the i'm
provements are contingent upon the re-
suits of the development work that is
nov being done. This aside, it is the
opinion of men who have worked on the
property that the order for the new
equipment will be placed by President
Skiles and his party while they are ir
Spokane.

Investors in Mining Stocks Ought
to Know the Property.
WHEN TO BUY AND SELL
Buy When Market is Low and Duh and
Sell on the Rise.

Why is it that the public, the
great traders in stocks of all
kinds, never or rarely buys when
the bottom Is knocked out of the
market" that is, when stocks
are low and trading light; asks
Mining and Engineering World,
The average trader waits for the
market to become active and the
stocks to mo9e upward. Then he
buys on a rising market. The
astute operator sizes up the stu
alton and looks ahead. He does
not believe that because any par
ticular stock is low it has no
merit. What are, the chances for
a rise? he asks himself. Then he
begins to find out what kind of a
mine or security is behind the
stock and the cause of its decline.
If satisfied that thera is a good
chance for a future rise he buys
when others, alarmed because
not. informed, are selling. He
bidSs his time and when his stock
is rising he estimates his profits
and. sells when others are buying.
1t is a matter of cool calculation
and patience with him.
AWhe majority of traders in
stocks, and we have reference to
mining stocks in particular, for
we know more about them than
other stocks, are apt to follow
the leader" to watch the big
operators and the quotations, in
stead of calmly estimating the
probable chance for profit in pur-
chasing a stock which is, not
eagerly sought after, but which
has mine Of value behind it
and, therefore, a, future. The
time to buy for profit is when the
market is at its dullest and the
stocks at the lowest points. But
buy intelligently. Buy stocks
with mines behind them of value.
Then wait. Your reward will
come in time.

MOOSE CREEK IMPROVED.
New Pipe Line and Giants Enable Com
pany to Work Extensively.

The Moose Creek placer property, near
Newsome, was extensively developed
during the past year. -Four thousand
feet of pipe was installed, beginning
with diameter of 40 inches and gradu-
ally lessening to IL inches at the giant.
Four giants, two of No. a, one of No. 8
and one of No. size. are part of the
equipment, and are capable of moving
10000 cubic feet of gravel in a season
of four months. Every foot of the
fluming is of new lumber and new race
has been constructed.
Mr.. Parsons, the superintendent,
states the indications are good for
plenty of water the coming season pro-
vided chinook does not drive the snow
away. There is now from three and a
half to fiXe feet of snoy in the camp,
with possibility, of 2 greater volume
of water than for sny season of late
wears.

GOING DOWN ON BUSTER.
p I
Dig Property Improves in Appearance
as the Work Progresses.

The work on the Buster mine, on
which F. w. Bradley of San Francisco
has bond, is progressing very salts
factorily, the property making better
showing as the work goes on. A force
of men are at work in the drift ahead
and the rock now being removed from
the face gives strong indications that q
new ore ishoot will be encountered a
little farther ahead.
The new double compartment shaft is
down about thirty-fi9e feet, and the
average progress being made is two
and half feet every twenty-four hours.
1t is expected that the shaft and the
ledge win come together before the so
foot level is reached.

Just to Keep History Straight,

Mr.. Parsons of Grangeville. il an
interview with representative Of the
Lewiston Tribune, relative to the recent
heavy snoY storm in this district and
the blockade of the roads is made to say
this: q y
"Nate Pettibone, the government
mail carrier, who is practically the only
one using the road, will be obliged to
clear away all of the fallen trees in
order to comply with his government
contract for immediate delivery of
mails" .
The statement that Mr., Pettibone ''is

is not true. Many freight wagons and

NEWS in BRIEF
FROM NEARBY DISTRICTS
BRING IN THE SAMPLES.

AS has been stated in the Mining
News before, it is the desire of the
committee to get the samples of ore
wanted by the Verbeke-DeKeyser
company ready for shipping at an
early date.
The success or failure of the under
taking may depend upon the time
you take to prepare your samples.
Several property owners have
brought in samples, but the number
is small in comparison to the number
of property owners in the district
Prepare two samples, Of the low
est and of the average grade ore. A
description of the property
of claims, amount and character of
work done and statement of location
of property should accompany the
samples.
Leave samples at Office of Mining
News.

Much water is flowing into the shaft,
which necessitates the wearing of rub
Der coats by the men employed. A
pump has been ordered, which Superin-
tendent Smith thinks will reach the
mine in time to be placed in operation
early next week.

THE TREASURY STOCK
How 1t Ought to Be Used In De-
veloping Mining Property.
SUCKERS WILL BITE
But Aim Should Be to Interest Investors
Who Understand Mining.

It is only once in awhile that
company is formed, which within
it's membership, has ample capi-
tai for the exploitation of it's
claim or group of claims, says
Butte Mining Review. AS a
matter of fact, most of our bo-
nanza propositions of today were
once on the ragged edge for the
wherewithal for their develop
ment; and the majority of them,
but for the success attendant
upon the sale of treasury stock,
would now be little more than
prospects. In seeking buyers
for their treasury stock these
mining companies were not ang-
ling for suckers, but were MAX
ing overtures to capitalists and
investors that were based upon
honest and legitimate business
principles. They made this kind
of a proposition: 1--WE own what
we believe to be promising and
valuable mineral ground. We
lack the means to develop the
same as it Should be. Undevel-
oped it is practically worthless.
The indications are that our pros
poets, if intelligently and eco
nomically worked, will eventually
take rank as regular producers
and dividend payers. Will you
join hands with us in this enter
prise? We will put up the prop
erty if you will assist us with the
necessary cash. If we succeed
we will make our thousands
where we have expended hun
dreds. We believe we will sue
ceed. If we fail, we are all in
the same boat. This is purely
business venture"
No one can consistently say
that the PRONUNCIATION of a propo-
sition of this Kind is merely "a
bait for suckers" Many, how
ever, who have gone into mining
ventures indiseriminately, and
who have not met with the sue
cess anticipated, are inclined to
regard every new mining COM
pany as a fraud, paying but little
attention to the many marvellous
successes chronicled yearly in the
annals Of mining history of this
western country; and it is this
class that "pass up" more oppor-
tunities for safe and profitable
investment in mining affairs than
do men with evenly Balanced
: minds who carefully consider all
sides of the quesaion when in
vited to join in with some strictly
: legitimate mining enterprise.
1t is too true that there are
many fake mining enterprises
and companies, but these angle
with such lurid bait that nothing
but sucker would bite; but g
sucker is a sucker. and no sym
pathy need be wasted upon him
Still, because there are fishers
for suckers, and because tht
sucker will also take the bait, this
is no reason why the sensible in
vestor and capitalist should figh
shy of legitimate mining propo
sitions and. Of companies desirini
to dispose of treasury stock TO

At the time of the big storm four four

Thistis mentioned simply for the pur-
pose of keeping history straight.
