Women to get on car in tight
skirts generally need help. However.
some of them boost their skirts to
their knees and scramble on without

THE PRESENT DAY
VALUE OF PROSPECTS

The fact that in the boom days of
hundred thousand dollars forms no basis
for fixing the asking price of d mine or
prospect.
Mines are sold today only after care
full investigation. To sell mine today
it must not only have ore in sight but
that ore must be such that modern
metallurgical means can recover the
metal therefrom and at profit.
In the buying of a prospect, however,
different considerations govern.
How then, shall the price of pros
pect be figured? 1t cannot be actually
figured. The vein may be opened more
or less; it may outcrop the length of the
claim; it may have considerable or less
width; it may be we'll mineralized or only
in part, but there is nothing upon which
to base actual figures-o rough
estimate or guess. Then what shall fix
the price? Only the degree of the desire
of the owner to sell and the willingness
of the purchaser to buy.
Many prospectors, who experienced
the boom days of Leadville, Cripple
Greek and other camps, still hold their
properties at the prices of the cid boom
days, when it was not uncommon to sell
prospect located in favorable locality
for fabulous sum, the purchaser being
usually man who knew little of mining
or promoter who planned to sell the
prospect to the people through stock
scheme. These prospectors do not real
ize that "times" have changed; that the
tende rfoot is not buying; that the gov
ernment sleuths have driven the wildcat
promoter from the field, and that it is
only the imam from Missouri" that is
buying prospects these days, and that
he will not buy unless he is given run
for his money" He will buy under
bond and lease, but he will not make
payment down. He will agree to do a
certain amount of work within given
time, say six months, or year or two,
when if the prospects "show up" well,
he will make payment on the price, etc.
In other words he will take the owners
place and agree to spend hve or ten
thousand dollars in development against
the chance of making mine, and the
owner must share with the purchaser in
this chance by giving him the time re-
quired without payment. The price is
agreed upon in advance, and that price
simply shows the faith the purchaser
has in his ability to make mine of the
prospect and the conditions that causes
the owner to sell it.
While there is capital ready for in
vestment in mines there is little, if any
seeking investment in prospects. One
reason for this is the prevailing opinion
that all the good prospects have been
taken over and developed into miEes or
abandoned. But there are many good
prospects in the hills today, prospects
that have as good promise of becoming

The following item is taken from the
files of the Rocky Mountain Herald of
Janu ary 8, 1869:
Since Bro. Collier of the Central City
Register became Benedict, he's rather
ambiguous on the "boys." Speaking of
how the New Year was spent in Central,
he says: "ln the Afternoon the young
men formed themselves into little knots
and made calls on their lady friends. +"
Now, for the life of Us, hadn't the boys
to be pretty timber before they could
form" themselves into "knots?"

mines as many of those that have been
developed; but the high prices asked for
them prevent their being even consider
ed by those who might be interested.
Owners of prospects can no longer
look to the public for money, through
the sale of stock, to develop their prop
critics. Through the Chamber of Com
merce of Denver, ten thousand dollars
was spent last year in an effort to find
new propects, but stock could not be
sold to develop one of these new pros
poets with the high standing of the men
in the enterprise back of the effort, and
the whole scheme was abandoned. This
is sad comment, but it indicates the
attitude of the public towards invest
ment in stocks in prospect. How shall
we be able to develop our prospects then,
you ask? Only by selling them at low
prices and favorable terms to syndicates
or small coteries of men who are willing
to take the risk.
High prices of prospects and idle mines
today prevent the revival Of camps; keep
men from employment; retard all busi-
ness connected with mining and causes,
in part, the prevailing hard times in the
mining states.
1t is hard to make the old miner and
prospector understand that mining to-
day is based upon science and system;
that the element of chance has no more
place in mining business of today than
in merchandising, and that capital will
not consider speculative prices.
Modern mining embraces the highest
achievements in mechanical and chemi-
cal science united with that great fac
tor in successful business called system.
Through the entire operation from the
first blow of the hammer on the drill
until the last trace of metal is recovered
at the refinery-is correlated an harmon
ious and synchronous system.
The owners of idle mines and pros
poets must offer very favorable terms
if they expect to sell their properties. =

ance and certainly the ba1dheaded
man is not handsome at his best.
But all these personal attentions will
be futile unless one uses the greatest
precautions in wearing the hat. Ev-
cry few minutes, when outside, the
hat should be lifted from the head
and gently replaced The hat has a
tendency to settle down on the head
very snugly, and the indentatiOn from
the pressure Of the hat band is quite
noticeable on the forehead. Hats like
the stiff straw, which are easily blown
from the head, should never be worn
at all, for, in spite of ones self, such
hat will be damned down on the
head actually tight enough to seri-
ousIy impede the scalp circulation.
Tie a string around your finger ever
so lightly, and watch the effect on
the circulation in the end OF that fin
ger; in a like manner demonstrate in
your own case the surprising amount
of pressure exerted on your scalp by
the careless manner of wearing your
hat.
And to repeat:
Dandruff does not cause badness.
Badness is not caused by a germ.
Badness is caused almost solely by
the tight hat band.
The finer and thinner the hair, the
more care one must give it.
Do not be alarmed when the hair
falls out. Brisk massage of the scalp,
and pulling the scalp back and forth,
vigorously, will stop it.
Wash the hair frequently.
Brush the hair often-the sitter the
brush the better.
Do not have the hair singed
Do not have the hair cut short, even
in summer.
Pull out the loosened hairs every
day, and at the same time pull the
scalp back and forth. Pulling the hair
strengthens the hair roots
Avoid bad soaps. and special prep

best and safest soap is plain CASTLE.
Avoid all hair tonics and hair restor-

And last of all pad the hat band SO
it will be soft, and remember to never
pull the hat down tight on the head.
