MAN ADAMS FAMILY.

Monday evening the regular ses-
sion of the city council was held,
with Mayor Hitchcock in the chair
and Aldermen Hardy, Michels,
Reeves, Walfath, Winsor and Nc
Cartney present.
The reading of the minutes of the
previous sessions occupied considera-
BILE time, as they were voluminous.
They stood approved.
The resolution which was adopted
recently extending a fifteen year
franchise to the Western Union
Company, and requiring the comany
to remove it's wires and poles from
Main street and place them in the al
ley, was r%escinded. This action was
taken for the purpose of placing a
definite time when the poles should
be removed. The former resolution
did not contain a definite time, and
the amendment which was present
ed by City Attorney Miller limited
the time to sixty days for the Main
street to be cleared and the wires and
poles placed in the alley west of Main
street.
The usual bills we're allowed, and
for the month they went up to quite
a high figure. Warrants were order.
ed drawn for their payment.
Alderman Michels stated that he
had continued the contract with II.
]. Parrot for crawling. the boule-
ward put to G%raaceland cemetery, at
a cost of $3.50. The alderman stated
that the work was progressing nice.

+. Maguire was present with a re-
monstrance from lot owners living on
Seventh Avenue east against the
construction Of a sanitary sewer,
along that thoroughfare. A petit
tion had already been filed with a
majority Of the lot owners asking
for the improvement. Mr.. Mcguire
had a petition presented. which con-
tanned, as he declared, a majority
of the lot owners on the same street
who were opposed to it. He asserted
that two parties had signed the pc
tition for the sewer who were not
owners OF real estate on that street,
in that the property was held in the
name Of their wives, and he succeed
ed in getting the signatures of the

that the people have come to believe
they can make a better job of it than

so frequently ensue, of the assumption
Of some vulgar boss of the right to be-

They can hardly realize the good for
tune that has come to them. They rub
their eyes in bewilderment, and, al
though they have worked steadily to
bring about this pleasing condition; al
though they have hoped almost against
hope, their success, now that it is
reality, seems more of dream to them
than does the dreary days when they
.labored in the tunnel and shaft; the
days when they worked and toiled in
the confident belief that in due time
their prospect would open up into
mine, into a producer that would bring
them many thousands for every dollar
they had expended.
We yearly see such marvellous changes
in almost every mining camp through
out this intermountain region. We see
the prospect, in it's evolution of devel
opment. bud and blossom until it takes
rank as producer and dividend-payer,
making it's poor owners rich and Great
ing a desirable avenue for investment
for the wealthy and for the syndicates
of our monied centers; and yet there
are those who affect to dispise the
prospect, and who will give the pres
pector no more of hearing then they
would beggar at their kitchen door.
Many opportunities for desirable in
vestment are offered in mining in its
various branches, but there are none
which should appeal to the man of
limited means more strongly than
should the meritorious prospect. Salt

Make Money in Prospects.

A good many prospectors have made
the complaint that it is difficult to in
terest capital In meritorious and prom
Using prospects, and they assert that
many big mining operators who have
made fortunes in mining operations,
are inclined to ignor and neglect at
tractiye prospects to which their at
tention has been directed.
There is something peculiar about
this condition of affairs, and particu-
larly so when it is remembered that all
big and productive mines were at one
time nothing but mere prospects, and,
when one considers the fact that many
of our successful mining men, now at
the head of bonanza dividend payers,
owe their success to the prospect which
they developed into paying mine, it
is matter of wonder that they should
so soon forget the primary source of
their present wealth and aff1uence.
If it were not for the prospects
yearly discovered in the mining camps
and districts of the west; were it not
for the fact that many of these are
able to interest capital in their develop
ment, and were it not also fact that
of these prospects so developed GER
tain number are annually transformed
into producing and paying mines, it
would not be many years before the
metallic wealth-producers of the coun-
t,.xr would hooO,,oo E,,oifaJ o,J tba,,-
number lessened by exhaustion and
abandonment until, finally, the mining
industry would die out entirely.
1t is to the prospect, then, that we
Of the west must look to for future
prosperity and progress. 1t is to the
bonanza in embryo that we must look
to to sustain the life of the mining in
dustry; for, the prospect of today may
he big mine tomorrow. And the
man of limited means who put his
hundred, his five hundred, into it's de-
velopment may suddenly blossom out
into a mining magnate with many
thousands at his command.
More good, big money is made in
prospect development than is the case
in almost any other branch of the min
ing industry. 1t takes a great deal
of money to buy and operate devel-
oped and producing mine, and men OF
almost unlimited means only can en-
gage in mining along these lines. A
few men, however, even though they
be in rather Strengthened circumstances
can join issues with their small capita
in the exploitation of prospect; and
if it is possessed of merit, it will not be
long before they can place it upon {
producing basis. 'Tall oaks from little
acorns grow" The same axiom APP
plies to mining. From small produces
the prospect rapidly grows into big
mine. If it is worth $4,000 when i
begins its initial shipments it is wortl
ten times this much as development
work progresses, and as the working
block out more ore and room is made s.
that more men can work in breakin,
down the ore bodies for shipment an,
the market. A little later miracl
has taken place. The 500, 900 mine i
worth half a million and capital i
tunbling over itself to get possession
of it. The transition from prospec
into a bonanza is so rapid, so to speak
lat the owners are taken by surprise
