WATER GOING DOWN
IN THE KANSAS.

Robert Sayre informs the Observer
that the water in the Kansas Bur-
roughs is going down at the rate of
two feet in every "a hours. Two dia-
mond drill holes were put through to
the workings from lateral in the
Newhouse tunnel and these holes are
draining the mines of Quartz hill.
A group of the big mines on Quartz
hill are connected and taking this i'm
to consideration, when the water re-
cedes two feet day, these proper
ties are being drained with great
speed. At the rate the water is go
ing down It shonld not be more than
three or four months until the big
mines of this territory are entirely
free Of water.
When the mines of Quartz hill are
unwatered work Will be offered to
hundreds Of miners. There are veins
i'm endless number and ground that
can be leased which will put many a
miner in a state Of opulence.

HUBERT WILL BE
WORKED EXTENSIVELY.

The Vendome Mining company, Cd
Grating the Hubert mine, will install
an electric pump. The machinery is
on the ground and will be placed at
once and will be i'm operation by the
nrst OF the month. The capacity OF
the new pump is go gallons a minute.
1t will be placed at the 45O-foot level
at which point rs per cent of the
water in the mine drains in.
1t is the intention of the company
to unwater the mine down to the
l25O-foot level Within the next three
months. When this work is complet-
ed it will undoubtedly give employ
ment to great number of mines. As
soon as the mine is unwatered there
We'll be a large amount of ground that
can be worked to a profit, both by
the leasers and by the company.
1t has been twelve years since the
Hubert workings were entirely free
OF water to the bottom of the shaft
1t will be possible to commence the
the shipment Of ore from the bottom
levels as soon as the mine Is drain
ed. There is am unlimited quantity of
profitable ore that can now be Ship
ped which twelve years ago could
not be mined owing to the big ex-
pense Of handling the water.
Connected with the Hubert mine
is 3O-stamp mill which will be
placed in operation eventually and
the water Will be used for treating
the ore.
The Hubert is one of the banner
mines of the state. Its total produc-
tion to date is nearly $2,0OO,O 900.

is MINING A BUSINESS
OR A GAMBLE?

II this query should be propounded
to one hundred business men, large
majority would probably answer, a
gamble, pure and simple, and, among
this majority, there would be many
who would declare unhesitatingly that
it was worse than a faro bank, as
there was less chance to win. Now,
why is it that these men, men who
are looked upon as persons of sound
business Judgment, and whose opin-
ions en- most questions which enter
Into ufe etonomies of life are valued
arrive at such conclusions? Simply
because they have not given the ques-
ton much thought, and have not ex-
aminedinto the industry as they have
other lines of business. To these men
all mines and all mining companies
are the same No distinction is made
between the legitimate and scientific
mining business of today and the
wild cat" schemes of the past. A

object is not to work" mime, but
to work" the public. The public it.
self. is in measure to blame for this
condition. for the simple reason that
1t has not always looked upon mining
as a legitimate business, but has
bought shares of mining stock as it
has bought lottery tickets.
AS a. matter of fact, an investment
based on actual value in a legiti-
mate mining enterprise that is honor
ably and efficiently managed, is al
most always profitable. and reason
able investment of capital will gem
