We heard, recently, of a big invest
ment syndicate, in the market for min.
ing properties, which, through its en-
gineers, examined ffty-four PROPOSE
tions during a period of twelve
months. Forty of these were reported
upon as being nothing more Than pros
poets. Ten were possessed Of some
value, and but four came up to any.
thing like the representations made for
them. One, and one only, was pur-
chased, but not at the price originally
asked, which was $1,OOO,00O.
After making an exhaustive examin-
alton it was demonstrated that this
mine had a million in sight, in its
workings; but, it was not worth a
million to the syndicate, as it stood,
and for the following reasons:
First, it would cost 100000 to mine
and market this lode, no matter wheth-
err it was done by the original owner,
or the purchasing syndicate.
Second, interest upon the investment
must be provided for, and
Third, there should be some profit on
the investment, as well.
These conditions were presented
clearly to the owner. He had not
thought of them before. But, he con-
sidered that they were reasonable, and
reduced his price to $4,000, which
was accepted by the syndicate.
One other property was found to
have a million in ore in sight, but the
owner stood out for a price of a mil
lion. He still has the property, and is
more than likely to keep on owning it
for some time to come. Now and then
a man will be found who would be will
ing to swap a dollar for a dollar; but,
he would hesitate and side-step when
asked to give a dollar for eighty-fve
cents. The syndicate might have been
willing to have given a million in cash
for a mine showing a million, net, in
ore in sight, trusting to the probability
that more ore would be developed in
taking out the million; but, in all
cases, when a certain tonnage and
value is claimed, allowance must be
made for the expense of mining and
marketing, for interest ON the invest
ment, and for a reasonable profit.
If mine owners were a little more
consistent, if their demands were not

Henry Paige Comstock to Peter ORR

his fellow prospectors in a search for
gold in Six Mile canyon, near the pres
ent Virginia City, then capital or Ne
yada. The date was June 10. 1909
In that remote spot in the American
wilderness by these three obscure men
was made on that day discovery des-
tined to affect the current OF Amerl-
can politics for a score of years and
to have for long a disturbing influence
on the worlds finances.
The thing which was "str1ck" on
that June day Of 1859 was the vein
covering what came to be known as
the Comstock lode, in which were ND

THE EARTH'S CHANGES.
What the Fossil Remains of Plants
and Animals Tell Us.

What the Fossil Remains of Plants
and Animals Tell Us.
There was a time when even the
polar regions bloomed with many OF
the splendid and varied forms OF lie
that now adorn the tropics.
The fossil remains of these ancient
forms preserved in the bosom OF the
rocks carry us back perhaps mllllohs
Of years in the earths history ana
show clearly what wonderful rcvolu-
lions the surface Of the globe has I'M
dergone since the first plants and the
first animals appeared upon 1t.
Who would think Of meeting a rhl-
noceros nowadays on the prairies OF
northwestern Canada unless perhaps a
travelling menagerie should pass that
way? Yet at one time, as discoveries
Of recent years prove, creature close
" resembling the rhinoceros OF INDIA
and Africa dwelt in that now compar-
atively cold, snowy and barren region.
Remains Of these extinct ancestors
Of an animal that in our day thrlyes
only in the tangled tropical forests ana
under the hot equatorial. sun have been
found buried in the Canadian rocks,
where now the cold blasts OF winter
blow over treeless plains and sweep
the TANKS Of ice incrusted mountains.
The rhinoceros of that remote age
was no less formidable beast than
IFS descendants, for the skull OF one OF
the skeletons discovered is three feet
long. while some Of its teeth are four
inches across.
The fossil remains of many other
forms of animals have been found IN
the same region within recent years.
