ters were SO shaping around that he telt
a few months more would witness a 1000
of money for investment in mining ana
other western enterprises. A little pa
thence and a wait of q short time longer
is all that in mis- judgment. IS going to
be necessary to see this country start on
another boom period. The wild-catter,
however. will find poor picking. as the
country is now better educated in the
mining game than it has ever been

which the National Development company

Mines and Mining Stocks
CAUSE OF DROP
IN IRON BLOSSOM
Investigation Makes 1t Plain
That Overlooking Is Large
Iy Responsible.

Uncle Jesse Knight was quoted yester-
day as saying that he was sorry for ever
having listed any Of his mining stocks on
the exchange, and adding that he would
never list another stock, inferring that
the stock exchange members had not
treated his stocks fairly. No one who
knows Uncle Jesse Knight for an in
slant doubts his sincerity, his truthful
ness or his honesty; but his judgment in
blaming the stock exchange for the ac-
ton Of his stocks viii be questioned.
The chief trouble with Iron Blossom
has not been the treatment the stock has
received at the hands of the brokers, by
any means. w. Lester Mansum more
nearly explained the difficulty yesterday
afternoon when he said that whole col
Onies Of people had loaded up with the
stock. most Of which had been purchased
on the partial payment plan at unjustlfi-
able prices. in the belief that il would go
to IS or 80 share and make multi-mil
liOnaires OF them. Most of these people
flew in the face of calm counsel. and
many OF them mOrtgaged their belongings
to get the stock. When their options COM
menced to fail due and the brokers who
made the purchases for them asked them
to discharge their obligations they were
unable TO do so, and il became necessary
to throw at least a portion of their hold
ings on weak market. And that is I'M
questiOnably what mas knocked the props
out from under the price of the stock; at
least. that has been the chief contributing
cause.
Il know positively" declared Mr.. Man
gum, that the inside Knight interests.
So-Called have not sold during the last
sixty days to exceed 5000 shares Of Iron
Blossom and Colorado stock combined.
Uncle Jesse has not sold share of either,
you can depend on that
There is little consolation in recalling
the past in a case like the one affecting
Iron Blossom, but it will be remembered
by at least some readers Of this depart
ment that on more than one occasion
when Iron Blossom was soaring and the
public was clamoTing to get in. Uncle
Jesse Knight himself while expressing
every confidence in the future Of Iron
Blossom. unhesitatingly declared that the
prices prevailing were not justified But
the price kept climbing and the public
kept on buying. Just the same. The same
thing happened with Sioux Consolidated.
and many people got stung there but the
brokers were not to blame in either case
As a matter of fact. many Of them were
T0undly abused for failing to execute or
ders. There have been wonderful ODpOr-
tunities for making money in these
stocks during the past SIX months TO
year. Those who failed to grasp the Op-
portunity and those who undertook TO
carry more than they were able to pay
for should. in the opinion of the brokers,
who simply execute orders as they are
given, blame no one but themselves.

Mining Notes.

Six carloads Of ore from the mines Of
Utah were released from the Pioneer sam
pier at Sandy yesterday.
There was released from the Taylor &
Brunton Ssmpling works yesterday eleven
carloads of ore from Utah mines.
Silver jumped TO DISC per ounce yester-
day. The prospect of the tariff bill
being passed without the tariff on lead
being molested is causing feeling that
the price of that metal is going to move
ND soon considerably above its present
selling price.

SALT LAKERS TO
MINE IN IDAHO
Organize a Company to Handle
Likely Gold Proposition
in Lemhi County.

The MusgrOve Mining company filed ar
ticles Of incorporation yesterday. The
authorized capital stock is 100000, in
shares OF the par value of 10 cents each,
with 499 100 shares TO remain in the treas
ury as working capital. r. I. Edwards
is president; Arthur H Brown. vice
president; Fred G. Dern. secretary and
treasurer. and these, with Arthur Thorn
as and A. Reeves, constitute the direc-
torate- Edwards and Dern own 2509e0
shares each and the others 100 shares
each. The Major MUsgrove claims. one
30 four inclusive, on MusgrOve creek,
Blackbird mining district Lemhi county,
Idaho, are to be exploited.
The property described was formerly
owned by the firm Of Brown q Edwards,
mining engineers, who have been Oper-
aung a lease and two other properties in
Lemhi county. On the property turned in
10 the company force OF dozen miners,
working two shifts. has been prospecting
and developing a ledge Of high-grade cy-
aniding gold ore. The last sample taken
on the 150-fOOt level was an average OF
four and one-half feet of the vein in the
face of the drift now running on the vein.
It gave returns of So in gold and little
silver, the gold being the only metal
counted as valuable.
A wire from Mr. Edwards yesterday.
who has Just arrived a. the mine, states
that the ledge mas just been encountered
in the crOss-Cut tunnel that connects with
sage did not say that ore was encoun-
tered and Mr. Brown said that il would
require about ninety feet Of drifting to
reach a point directly under where the
values were struck on the 1j0-fOOt level
The latter has been pretty well prospect
ed and at the present time shows SO. 900
worth of gold ore between the level and
the surface. No estimate has been made
Of the ore below the 150-fOOt level, the
owners having determined not to count
any ore in sight until IL should be pos
sible to have three sides exposed and av-
erage values determined through the tax
ing of large samples. An average Of
only S23 IS claimed for the ore blocked
out though the developed portion Of the
ledge discloses much higher values The
ore in the bottom of the drift on the 100
foot level is Just as strong and as rich
as anything shown above the level. so
the work on the 800 will be followed with
a great deal of interest
I'm cutting the vein on the 300 level at
this time" said Mr.. Brown we have
demonstrated its strength and regular
dip Ii is now up to the new company TO
find and show ore of good value on that
level before claiming "A mine. The next
ditional depth Of 200 feet. and If the ore
is still in evidence there, a SOo-foOt cross
cut tunnel will be driven TO open the
mine at a depth of GOO feet
Engineers are now at work surveying
for water power on the creek at the mouth
of the proposed O00-fOOt level cross-cut.
Power will here be DEVELOPED for COM
pressor plant and a mill The latter
hovever will not be built until more has
been developed. when the size of the plant
will be made to fit the mine.

In company with George \. Lawrence,
one of the officers Of the company. NJ. NJ.
Johnson. chief of the Newhouse engi-
neering and expert staff. has been max
ing an inspection OF the Beaver Carbon
ate Mining company's property in Beaver
county.
The property looks good to me- said
Mt. johnson yesterday. "and the pros
poets of making a fine producer of it are
strongly in evidence. Work is being con-
fined to the development of the 700-foOt
level OF the present time. Two good
shoots Of ore have been opened up and.
while the ore is largely lowgrade. so
far as shown up. there is every chance
for large bodies Of rich ore to make in
the mine. There is considerable ore
mixed with the low-grade that can now
be sorted for shipment. and everything
looks so we'll that I should not be sur
prised TO hear of a big strike Of high
Eradc ore at any time"
