it will be necessary for the mountain
districts and the county to raise $500
to equal the state bond appropriation.
If the mountain districts and the county
do not raise that amount then Sum

of the state appropriation will remain

Salt Lake Mining News Gives Claim
Owners Few Good Pointers.
A MODEST LITTLE PLANT
One Stamp Mil Pays Expenses While
Developing Property.

When you are fortunate in the
possession Of first-class pros
pect, why not develop it in a
manner that will make it help to
pay the cost of operation and ex-
ploitation? If a certain class of
men were as keen to make pro-
ducers out Of their prospects as
they are to find them or to buy
them, there would be more pro-
ducing and paying mines in the
hills and canyons of this great
western country, says Salt Lake
Mining Review.
1t is often that a. prospector
will spend months in the hills,
endure all manner of hardships
in the discovery and location of a
really valuable prospect, and who
will go almost wild over his dis
covery; but who, seemingly, loses
all interest in his find when it
comes to the expenditure of
little money and considerable
hard work in its exploration and
development. Men of this class
will leave the hills and make
their permanent camp in some
little valley town, where they
will haunt the saloons, pose for
hours in front of the village store,
and spend their evenings, as we'll
as their money, at the card table.
At the same time they are be-
wailing the fact that they are
unable to interest capital in their
: holdings and that their prospects
remain undeveloped and unproft-
able.
This condition PRESENTS a some
D what peculiar phase of the min
ing industry. Still. it is to be
e duplicated in almost every walk
j in life, as the shiftless man is to
be found everywhere, and the
Jack of ambition is as detrimental
to the carrying on of successful
mining enterprises as it is to the
attainment of advancement and
success in any other occupation
or calling.
There are many prospects in
this western country that would
II pay to work in a limited manner,
n At the same time their continued
development would lead to thai

they could be classed as regular
: and even heavy producers. A
! least, little work would ope1

Monday evening, the purpose of which
was to start things moving to raise the
money that is required of the mountain
districts and Idaho county before the
State appropriation made for the road

becomes available. Representative
James Surridge of Harpster, father of
the appropriation bill, was present, and
explained the measure in detail, inform
the meeting on just what is asked of
the districts and the county to secure
the valued assistance in the improve
ment of the mountain road, which the
state stands ready to give. A com
mittee of five was appointed to secure
subscriptions. The committee is com
posed of the following named. gentle
men: Frank Hye, S. w. Smith, w. C.
McNutt, G. L. L. Basket and George
E. Hamilton. Hon.. James .Surridge

tain districts to act with the board Of

Two Ways By Which One Can
Profit from Mining Business.
MINE AND BUY STOCK
Many Cases Where the Latter Has
Made Men Wealthy.

All men can not own mines
from which gigantic fortunes are
made, but almost anyone can own
stock in mining companies own
ing properties of good prospective
value. We say good prospec-
tive value" because this is about
the only kind of a mining propo-
sition that one can buy into these
days, barring fakes and wildcat
Investments, as it is not COM
mon thing in this day and age to
hear of the sale of treasury stock
in mining enterprise which is
already productive and which is
paying the owners big money,
says Salt Lake Mining Review. /,
Therefore, if the mining public
desires an investment in mining
securities, the natural thing to do
would be to purchase treasure
stock in some company which has
ground of undisputed value and
merit which it desires to equip
and develop. If the company is
composed of experienced, reput-
able men, and its property is we'll
located in a good district, the
chances are that the purchaser of
treasury stock will make thous-
ands upon their investment where
they haye put in only hundreds.
Not every investor in mining Sc
curities meets with success, but
we can point out great many
instances where the small invest
ors in treasury stock have made
their fortunes because of their
good judgment in this respect.
All of our great dividend-pay-
ing mines of today, at one time,
were only good prospects. In
many instances, companies form
Ssed for their operation, had diff
Guilty in selling enough treasury
stock to develop them to point
where they could be listed as pro-
sducing mines. We have seer
treasury stock sell at a dollar
which, few years later, readily
brought the owner $40 and 500
share. We have known treasury
stock to go begging at $5 share
and we have known the same
stock, five or six years later, as ;
ready seller at $100 share; and
during four of these years, thiI
stock paid a dollar share ;
month in dividends.
AS general thing, those hav
ing few hundred dollars to ip
vest in mining, can not hope t
become large mineowners. Ever
with ample funds at their com
mand, their business affairs ma.
be such that they can n9t devot
their time to this fascinating pur
suit; but they can buy ,treasur.
stock in a good mining compan,
and thereby become mdirectl.

money. Conflicting stories are told OF
what next happened. Angel was over

and until 6 O'Clock in the evening,
when the officers were called. The
officers in turn summoned DIR. Bice,
who did all he could to relieve the in
jured man, but without avail. An au-
topsy performed by DR.. Tyson yester-
day afternoon showed that Angels
skull had been fractured. In view of
the fact that Angel was apparently I'M
injured when he entered the Walstab
place, the police are inclined to believe
that the injuries he received in there
caused his death and that these in
juries came from being violently
knocked down by Brakeman Walker.

MAN FOR DEATH
OF ANGEL

SPARKS, June 13--The district at
torney was this afternoon asked to
make out a complaint against J. W.
Walker, a brakeman in the employ
of the Oregon Short Line, charging him
with the death of William Angel, the
Swede laborer who died in the Sparks
city Jail yesterday. Walker is the man
who is sad to have knocked down An
gel in the Walstab saloon Monday
morning after the latter had c%oninu-
ously bothered him.
The superstition that a man who
was trying to sell a ring supposed to
belong to the dead man was respon-
sible for Angels death was proven
false this morning when the man in
question was placed under arrest. THIS
man, who gave the name of J.. F. Ne
Fadden, had visited the Blaisdell hotie
yesterday and attempted to dispose Of
a gold ring at So. e was recognized
this morning as he was passing thl
Blaisdell home and the officers were
Immediately notified. A few moments
later they had the mar in custody and

ring, but several dozen. The rings
were plated and a bin of sale showed

discovery was made he was released.
