TO FoRESTALL FAILURE.


OF time, it would be pretty ignor-
ant person that could not talk mines.
Mining influence is contagious and
affects people according to their
mentality Some become infatuated.
Others have the safe and sane feel
irg, who are conservative, nay eau
tious to a degree. This class cften
reason the subject and ill it with
butts" ard ifs They put check
on enthusiasm, and look before max
ing the leap. But success never came
to anyone that never MADE one ven
ture. Many have tried and found for
tune tickle. Perhaps they erred in
judgment. They were blind to the
adverse. ignorance is The undcirg Of
most who enter any field of endeav-
or. In mining the little pieoe of cop
per:staired rcsk is con5urad into a
mountain of Gre. 1t does Ece occur
to the tircer of the piece of float
that it may be far from it's source
Many go at minirg without the least
idea as to results. 1t is enough that
they have an ortcrop. Kind fortune
is expected to 60 the rest.
A very gccd plan of procedure Is
to go into partnership with some
one in possession OF promising
showing. Perhaps it is net worth
while to enumerata all possible
chances CT success. They are as var
iOas as the properties. A person 9TH
erwise engaged could contribute to-
ward working lea-a. Mako terms
with man to take over property
CT promise. A dozen people might
pay the expense OF twelve good min
ers Tie twanty-fcur of equal faith
should Dro-uce results. However. as
said, there are numerous ways of
beccming directly interested in min
ing. The leasing syst m Is probably
the cheapest. Ii does not require that
the miEe be purchased. 1t Is wise
to have q bond so with the lease. In
case CT success, the payment for the
prc2en.y would come OF, OF the mine
Beginning with an exposed vein of
mineral Of fair value net much risk
is taken If the district is anything
like that Ct old Gilpin. Many tempt

Many CT ttege advartiscd offerings
are very tempting. How one can re.
sist may be judged by Inability to
proceed.
A Lew district has an attraction
all its own. Eut unless one is or the
ground first there is rot much
chance. TIE tricd and proven, like
this section, may be the better. Things
have shared them elves hare. There
is ne. so mitch chance \ property
might be had that would begin re-
turns in week. Variors as are the

In that case competent mirer
should be placed I'm charge of devel-

this is hardly fer such. rather. fc-
