MONEY FOR DEVELOPMENT
WITHOUT CASH PAYMENT.

Whatever may be the result of fur

property. there is one important fact
that stands out conspicuously: If
reter McPhnips, the owner of the
ground. has stood out for a cash pay
ment as the first condition of the bond.
the property would not have been
bonded and the discovery would not
have been made
There is the point upon which other
owners of uneveloped mining claims
would do well to ponder McPhllips
wisely reasoned that no matter how
much ore was under ground on his
claims. it was doing him no good I'M
developed, and for upwards of twenty
years his efforts to secure capital for
development had proved unsuccessful.
Finally opportunity knocked and he
threw the door wide open He had
faith in his property and he showed
it by giving an option to purchase it
which not only omitted the cash pay
ment provision, but which required
nothing but continuous development
IL this resulted in discovering COM
mercial ore. then he was to receive a
stipulated cash payment and other
payments would follow as provided in
the bond 1t has of course been said,
now that ore has been discovered. that
McPhillips should have required
larger figure for the property To have
done so would have been on par with
demanding a cash payment and would
in all probability have prevented any
deal being made.
1t is a common complaint in this
district as it is in all other mining
districts of the west that it is difficult
to obtain capital for the development
of prospects. The McPhnHps case
suggests that possibly this is a wrong
statement of the cause of complaint,
and that the real trouble is that it is
difficult to obtain prospects for capital
TO develop. The development of mines
is conducted now on a different basis |
from that which prevailed even twenty |
years ago. There are many large COM
panies with unlimited capital con-
stantiy looking for new mines. and /
there are many individuals with more
on less money to invest in mining de-
velopment enterprises. at all are dis
posed to balk at making cash pay
ment before they have an opportunity
to find out what hey are paying for.

ditions surrounding the deposition of
ore, we must stm resort to the tunnel
and shaft to versify conclusions. These
cost money, and unfortunately do not
always result in finding ore But the
element of uncertainty is no barrier
to mining development; rather it is the
lure that lends fascination to it. Men
looking for new mines like to take a
chance when conditions appear favor
