Crop Prospects.

Barring bad need of rain, the crop
prospects over the country, especially
cotton, are said to be the best for
years. Seven weeks have passed with
out generahrain, and except in some
localities, no rain has fallen in that
time. The old corn is suffering and
the cotton and young corn need rain
very much.
Gardens have suffered too, and the
prize vegetables shown in such profu-
sion last year are sadly missed this.

MAKING MINES.

Buyers of prospect stocks are to
some extent like the small child who
plants seeds and in two days digs
them up to see if they have sprout.
ed. They are in too great a hurry for
visible results. Time and money
alike are required to bring a pros.
pect of any class into a producing
mine.
Natures storehouse," "earth's
treasure vault" and similar express
sions, have unfortunately had a ten
dency to create the idea that min
ing is nothing more than a search
for buried treasure. In the story
books, after the weather-beaten parch
ment has been deciphered and the
right spot located. it is only neces-
sary to dig few feet through the
sand, pry the lid off the old oak
chest, and plunge the arms up to
the elbows in pieces-of-eight or rare
ard costly gems. 1t very likely Is
this idea which deceives the mex
perienced mining investor when he
hears Of high assays on the proper
ty in which he is interested. He Is
too prone to imagine that gold exists
in tn vein in the form of double
eagles needing only to be picked like
plums from Jack Horner's pie and
counted out pro rata among the
stockholders. Sometimes he is even
impatient over the necessity of the
preliminary shovelirg away of the
sand. He wants results from the start
and he wants what he wants when he
wants it.
There may occasionally be found
instances of mining property which
has paid practically from the grass
roots" Such instances are rare and
do not in general characterize the
history Of permanent, paying proper
ties. Ir the animal kingdom 1t is
said that the length of life is pro-
portioned to the length of time re-
quired to reach maturity. It can al
most be said that somewhat sim
liar rule prevails In the mineral king
dom In respect to producing mines.

ment is necessary to assure long life

INVESTIGATION or
MINING PROPERTIES.

The condition confronting the field
engineer today in his quest for de-
sirable mining property, is usually
one of high prices and unreasonable
terms. In addition to this the value
OF the ore and the tonnage as sci
forth in preliminary reports and
statements, are generally over-esti
mated, not to say purposely exagger
ated. A prominent mining engineer
in speaking OF conditions as at pres
ent existing in the camp OF Porcup
inc, facetiously states that mere
prospects are held at $4,000 each
and that for each speck Of visible
gold an additional"$5 900 per speck
Is asked.
A developed property with a meas
urable tonnage Of positive ore dem
onstrated, may command a reason
able cash down" payment. but the
owner of the prospect must realize
that, in order to get his property de-
veloped at somebody else's expense
he must allow the greater portion,
if not all of the purchase price, to
come out of the ground, and not out
of the pocket of the purchaser.
1t is apropos right here, to men
tion the proverbial sucker CROP
brt, fortunately, this is growing small
er each year, due to the active cam.
paign against wild cats" which is
being carried on by the reputable
mining press.
The average owner Of mining prop
erty expects the prospective pur-
chaser to take long chance" and
assume the burden of proving up his
property for him. The most equitable
way is to allow him to take it over
on a lease with bond to purchase
at the end Of a given time, say from
2 to years. with reasonable pay
ments at long intervals. Unless an
appreciable amount of shipping ore is
Gin sight," no cash payment down
should be exacted. Development
should be allowed to proceed until
a reasonable time has elapsed, when
the first payment might be made.
This should be as small as consis-
tent with the showing on the prop
erty when operations began, and the
subsequent installments could be in
creased gradually until the entire
amount of the bond had been taken
up, within the life Of the lease.
Many complaints are heard about
the difficulty of inducing capitalists
to invest in mining schemes; that
the times are not as they used to
be. when it was only necessary to
state what was ''in sight," when
money woud be forthcoming lat once,
etc. Times have changed. The
capitalist has been "stung" too Of
ten. He is beginning to employ tech
nical help to advise him in his min
ing ventures. There is plenty of mon
ey seeking investment in legitimate
mining propositions today. - Mining

REVIVAL OF GOLD MINING.

Indications all point to a healthy
revival of gold mining; not that
there has been a cessation of work
at the prominent producers. but the
cause SO many old mines are start
ing up throughout the west.
At this writing there is not SC
SO great need of cautioning investors
against the wiles OF fake promoters.
owing to several states exposing and
the Federal government prosecuting
them, nevertheless there are a num-
ber of important matters which in
vestors in gold mines should under
stand. There are few gold deposits
discovered at long intervals which
make poor men rich. and when they
| are found the owners do not ask out
side assistance. The majority of de-
posits are low grade and require
large SUNS of money in order to
work them successfully because large
+ mills must be erected to concentrate
or treat the ore. Since there must be
a large tonnage worked to make such
mines pay, the proposition is insult
ed to companies of small real cash
investments. TIE Homestake, The
! Alaska -Treadwell, and the South AT
rican gold mines belong to this class.
Those gold mines which are a
mean between the small bonanza and
the large low-grade deposits usually
contain partly high grade and partly
milling ore, such as some of Gilpin's
! mines are working to advantage.
Nearly every patriot and some who
are not patriots take dip in gold
mining during their career, mostly.
however, in a speculative way after
consulting the man with the big dia-
mond in his tie, who whets their
cupidity with tales of Blue Birds. In
dependencies, ect.
No one should invest in a strang-
er's mine without verifying the tale
told by an engineer who is either
personally known, or vouched for by
another well-known mining engineer.
During the early days of mining in
this country many good gold and sill
yer properties were located where
800 and 5000 ore could not be made
to pay. Many other good prospects
became failures through insufficient
capital and lack Of knowledge regard
ing the recovery of gold and silver.
These properties are being picked up
and worked in an intelligent manner;
and, owing to better transportation
facilities and modern metallurgical
methods, are paying. The investor
should also understand that gold
veins and coal beds are as dissim-
liar in formation as the two minerals
themselves, and therefore II he can
not invest in prospects on the vein
it is policy not to invest at all in
that particular district. Before a man
can apply for a claim he must un-
cover a vein, If he does not and
tries to raise money to work the
claim, he is fraud.-Mines and Min
erals.

4 cHEERrvL VIEW.

1t is too soon to have expected SEN
sational returns from the grubstake
people sent out by public spirited
Denver citizens. New fields only,
these to be developed by an organ
ization to take them over. Recognize
ing the lapse of time required to de-
velop a prospect into a paying mine,
the promoters have broadened their
view of the subject and may come
to the aid of districts known to pos
sess properties that would pay well
should they be worked. There are
a number of reputed good mining
men on the grub stake committee.
These should be well posted or have
a general knowledge of every min
ing district in the state. Their word
of commentator of a section should
be sufficient to throw aid in that di
rection. In all their experience they
should have become possessed OF
special knowledge of particular
mining quarter Of the state. Now
capital merely wants the assurance
of success and it will readily embark
in most any enterprise. 1t might hes'-
tate about mining, but with compe-
tent authority recommending a prop
erty should procure the aid necessary
to further exploitation. This is what
is hoped through the latter organ
ization soon to materialize.
It is a most encouraging outlook
and should the committee meet with
success in its first attempt at reviv-
ing the mining industry, is to call
out unlimited capital to develop 9TH
er properties under the approval of
the men competent to judge Of con-
dition.
1t would not surpries the most con-
servative mine owner in the state
were the Denver people to infuse
greater interest than ever in min
ing with results never anticipated
though many will say that Colorado
has not yet reached the point where
it must begin to recede. Many enter
tain this view. Possibly few new dis
tricts may be discovered, but those
already on the map hold much in
store for those caring to embark in
the enterprise.
AS business proposition the back
ing of the business men lends a
great deal of encouragement 1t
should have an influence on indivi-
duals, who were always doubtful of
mining. Recognizing the people back
of the enterprise as men not likely
to embark in anything chemical, they
would not hesitate to join with
these, recognizing that they could
not afford to go into something like
ly to prove failure.
Knowing Gilpin county's position in
the mining world, naturally the cap
italists in the enterprise would first
cast their eyes in this direction. They
could not fail to gain returns were
a judicious view of the situation TAX
en-. 1t would not surprise were con-
siderable capital to come in this di-
rection from the source stated.
