OF a future lucky strike. " He
is, therefore, often hampered in
his search for a mine by not be-
ing financially able to give assays
made OF samples of rock which
he gathers. 1t no doubt often
happens that prospectors have
the evidence of good mines in
their hands, but pass them by
thinking that the samples are
worthless because their value is
not visible to the eye. An assay
would have revealed their pres

assays made compromising rock
the sample is rejected.
Efforts have been made in the
Black Hills OF South Dakota to
afford some relief to prospectors
in that region from rhe handicap

auspices OF the Deadwood Bust

has been put into operation.
Arrangements we're made with
the principal mining companies
to handle the assays and each
prospector without means is per-

JARBIDGE MINE SOLD

Sixty-fve per cent Of the CAPT
tai stock of$1, 800 900, in shares
Of a par value Of ST. each, Of the
Buster Mining company Of Jar
bidge, New, has been taken on
option and bond BY Patrick
Clark, Of Spokane, at so cents a
share, thus placing a valuation
OF $750,000 on the property.
Development work will continue
under the preaent management
until Mr., Clark takes charge OF
the property. The company has
$4,000 and 100000 shares Of
stock in its treasury.
Mr. Clark, who recently inspect
ed the propertyio Jointly with John
Bresnahan, is planning to do
some independent development
work, beginning within thirty
days, and meanwhile the com
pany will continue driving two
crosscut tunnels to tap the ledge.
$50 far as development has
proceeded uhe workings show a
15-foot ledge between two perfect
walls with every Indication Of
permanence," said Mr.. Clark.
"These workings, to date, are
not very expensive, the principal
opening being a 60-foot shaft
with short drift from it's bot
tom in both directions. The
average value Of the ore thus ex-
posed is $50 the ton, most OF the
value being in gold, butsuf1cient
in silver to be Of Importance.
The ore is free milling and cyan
iding and capable OF being cheap
ly mined and treated.
"The ledge runs with the noun
tain and can be tapped by cross
cut tunnels to a depth of 1000
feet or more, at the rate of foot
for foot. A depth OF more than
1000 feet can be gained in the
same way at slightly greater
cost. The country is ideal for

addition to the theoretical know
ledge, have had years Impractical
experience in the various branch
es mining and metallurgy, so
that the subjects are presented
from both the theoretical and
practical points OF view.
The youngest student taking
the course last year was 26 years
OF age and the Oldest IS. One
