A Central City, Colo, dispatch says:
All the mine property of the Fifty
Gold Mining syndicate at Black Hawk
is being advertised for sale by the
trustee in bankruptcy, the sale to take
place on Nov. "A. This property is one
of the largest groups of mining claims
in the country and includes among its
patented claims the Gregord, Bobtail,
Fiske, Cook and other mines that have
produced millions since this discovery.
The properties were promoted sew
-eral years ago by the issuing of an
elaborate and a glowing prospectus.
Toe present dilemma is the outcome of
spending too much time to sell stock
and not enough time operating the
property.
The Gregory, Bobtail and the Fiske
veins were among the first discovered
in Gilpin county. They have been
worked for so years.

Changing Management.

1t is Just as important, in carrying
on successful mining operations, to
have a capable manager as it is to
have a good mine. In this western
country the career of hundreds of
promising mining enterprises are
blighted because of poor and inefficient
management, and many cases are on
record where absolute failures have
been recorded because of the employ
ment of mine managers who are in
competent to manage the development
of prospect, let alone a mine that
had previously reached a point where
it was producing probably, and pay
ing dividends. 1t is an old saying
that sit must be really fine property
that can stand bad management.
This is true; but, why should any min
ing proposition be handicapped by
management that is not capable of get
ting the very best, and the most there
IS in it?
A mine manager may be thoroughly
honest and of good general ability;
but, his judgement may not be good,
and he may be lacking in the training
and experience necessary for him to
make good'' in the position he holds.
A trial of a few months should dem
onstrate his executive ability, his fit
ness for the position; and, if it is found
that he is lacking In these qualificat-
ions, he should be retired, no matter,
if he is in charge of a big mining en-
terprise, or only a mere prospect; for
the prospect, with intelligent and sys-
tematic operation and development,
may come to the front, in time, as
big mine, and why should it be given
a black eye, by miss management, any
more than producing mine that has
long ago passed the virgin stage?
No feeling of friendship, nor fear of
offending relatives and friends, should
stand in the way of making a change
in mine management when it is clearly
evident that change should be made.
To hesitate in this matter often means
the absolute failure of the enterprise.
Under unsuccessful management in
terest lags, stocks decrease IN market
value, and the money loss is sometimes
so great that previous profits are
turned into losses, and work is aban-
doned on lwhat might and should be a
regular dividend payer.
An instance of where a change of
management resulted beneficially is
illustrated in the Utah Consolidated
mine at Bingham. For years this
mine paid regular and heavy dividends.
A change was made in the manage
ment, and soon earnings began to de-
cline and Acknowledgements were en-
tirely suspended. The shares of the
company declined in value and when
examinations of the mine were made
by experts its life, under conditions
then existing, was placed at but a year
or two. Less than a year ago another
change of management was made.
Since then shipments have increased,
extensive developments have disclosed
new and valuable ore zones, a dividend
has been paid, another is expected
within six months, and now it is claim
ed the life OF the property has been ex-
tended to an indefinite period.
This gratifying condition was
brought about by change in manage
ment when it looked as if the propos-
ition was lost beyond redemption, and
illustrates the fact that, under certain
circumstances, a change should be
made in mine management.-Salt
