MINE PRICES
FOR PROSPECTS
me Valuable Hints for
Claim Owners.

During the past few years
many mining men have COM
planned of the fact that it has
been difficult to interest capital
in mining enterprises, and it is
generally the case, that such
statements are absolutely true,
says the Salt Lake Mining Re-
view.
But, there must bea reason
for this, for money foft mining
investments is just as ready, just
as eager, for opportunities of the
right kind, as ever before al
though a little more cautious, a
little more sinsistent that the in
vestor gets a run for his money.
gAs a matter of fact, a prospect
a partially, developed mine, or a
bonanza, will now bring just
what it is worth, and no more;
and this is the reason that the
. average mining man finds it diff
ficult to dispose of his holdings,
for he has been wanting a mine
| price for a prospect, as general
thing.
1t is ridiculous to demand 6
selling price of $4,000 or $75,-
4 900 for a prospect that has cost
the owner less than 5000 for its
location and the holding work he
has performed upon it. : The
owner may claim that it is worth
} million. Perhaps it is. The
chances are that it may not b.
worth $4,000. In any event tn,
buyer will have to prove its in
trinsic value; and it is he VIII

a prospect; and, when the mine
owner gets down from the clouds
and is ready to do business on
business principles, he will find
that he will be- met more than
half way by capital and that,
together, hand. in hand, they can
develop hundreds of now idle
mines and prospects, into great
producers, into great dividend
payers.

ing, fire was discovered in the
store building owned by Frank
Hye in which he had a news, con-
fectionery and cigar stand, and
the telephone central office. Att
the time the alarm was given
the building was a mass of flames
consequently none of the con-
tents were saved.
The alarm ~Was first given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Shissler,
who lived next dooH and who
were awakened by the roar and
cracking Of the fire. 1t was
only few minutes before every
body was out, and the two
chemicals brought into play to
save adjoining property. The
fire had gained such headway
that the heat hadr set fire to the
roof and sides of the building
occupied by the Shissler's and
the express. office, and every
effort was now made to get con-
troll of this, for should this build
ing burn the o. G. Lapp Co. S
store would have been the next
to go. How, well the citizens
succeeded is shown by the skele-
ton of the building left standing,
but how it was done is another
question. ~.
1t had fortunately been rain
ing and showing for the proceed
ing "a hours and everything was
saturated with water, and the
fire made very little headway,
and almostl, no wind, but what
wind did blow, was driving the
flames towards the express office
and Lapp's stores which made
the situation extremely danger

RUNAWAY HORSES
TEAM OF FIRE STATION NO.
GOES TWO MILES IN
FEW MINUTES.
Started From Fire at Seventh Street
While Men Were al Work
Found -Four Hours Later at
25th and Park Avenue.

Tho police, Jail and fire committee
had a meeting yesterday morning to
inquire into the matter of early yes
terday morning when the team of fire
station No 2 made another wild run
The Toys were called out to fire
at Seventh street and jefferson ave
nue. about $50 o'clock, the fire being
at a shack occupied by negroes They
had left their team standing at the
curb near by and were busy with the
fire when some one informed them
that the horses had run away. The
firemen state that they had tied the
horses to a post and do not know
how they got loose, although one Of
the halter straps was broken when
they were recovered.
The horses had n long run, going
from fire around the lower end of
the city, coming up behind the IIalli-
day Hotel to Second street, out
Fourth street TO Washington avenue
and up Washington. and where they
turned off could NOT be ascertainod,
but they were found standing in d
elump of brush at Twenty fifth street
and Park avenue, at O'Clock yester.
day morning. They were discovered
by a lady residing in the neighbor-
hood, who notified the flremen by tele-
phone. Capt. Wedding and one of
the men had taken a buggy and
driven up the county road in search
of the team.
The horses ran till tired out and
then stopped where they were found
They were not hurt, and the heavy
wagon was not seriously damaged
aside from bad spring" in the rear
axle. Fire paraphernalia was scat
tered along the lower part of town.
The committee was not able to find
cause for blame; bat is inclined to
feel that the boys did not use all the
precaution necessary to prevent the
affair because they did not obey
themselves of the committees in
struction to engage some one to
watch the team whenever all the mon
are needed to work at a fire, which
order was given after Il previous rum
away by this same team, and has
been carried out at various fires
since
The team is a fine one and spirited;
and is likely to take run any time
.if not watched.
