friend" said the broker, 81 will tell
You something that maybe you don't
know yet and no doubt you have spent
some of your good coin to do what you
have done. | am man of much ex-
perience in the mining business. You
are up against mineral trust. Also
| will say this, that money for mining
enterprises in this town, any that is
loose, must go to certain syndicate
of moneyed men who employ me as
many others to see that it does go that
way. | am supposed to discourage
you or any other one having similar
projects to persuade you that it is no
good, and to keep the public screwed
up to point of fear of investing in
any other mining scheme other than
those put out by the Syndicate who
employ me. AS you say you find the
public scared when you talk mines.
That is the way we keep them. Now
you have two jobs on your hands, to
convince capital that you have mine
and the other is to make them believe
that the electric smelter is success,
and back of that there is an invisible
something. | would suggest that you
go to New York or Boston all see
what you can do. Here is a letter to
party in New York. Try them.
Good day."
In the same office in Wall Street
where. the principal mine investors
met and accepted the idea of the
chairman, regarding means to control
mines and money to be invested, sat
this same man who was busy with
some papers. He touched button
and boy in uniform appeared. "You
will notify Mr.. Sonora to step into my
office. The door opened and tall
young man with keen eyes and a Dig
nified bearing stepped in. The man at
the desk looked up ad said Good
morning, sir. Indicating chair, he
babe him sit down. eve have had
meeting and decided to float that
project in Chill, also the new company
: in Mexico. We will get the public in
! now. Crops are good in the west and
we ought to have no trouble to get it
! coming our way. We have the public
pretty we'll scared and that official en-
!, gineer's report on properties certainly
! has worked out to our advantage, as
: we'll as to the public. Ahem! 1t cost
some money for such thing and you
fellows do charge high figure for
: your work. BY the way, Sonora, how
, did that survey come out that we made
into the New World Mining District
! in Montana" "That has been COM
5 pleted and we can get an electric line
5 into Cooke up the Clarks Fork, thru
or around the canyon. How did we
} make out regarding property up
t there? Have we been able to get what
], we want, that is will the owners give
v us control of their properties if we
e promise to build the line in there? 2"
"No, they will not sign up along that
line. We grabbed some loose claims
: as we went but the best claims are
2 owned by the old prospectors and they
} will not give in. We can get all kinds
/. of wild cat property" Cali right Son.
| ora. We can wait. Pince has been up
: there in disguise and knows the lay
r pretty we'll. Those old fellows up there
2 are getting pretty old and won't last
e long, SO we will get it. The government
f should give such land to people who
e can develop it-that means we and
4 the public" "You know, said Sonora,
4 "those old fellows discovered the min
e eral."
"Sure they did but we have the
! money. That man Granzar is still at
4 work on some property he has; also
you know he has power plant on the
' Clarks Fork. Yes, and there is the
Republic mines. They are active again
e Some money gets by us we will have
e to put kink in it somehow. don't
r see how that man Granzer is going to
g make his smelter a success without we
1 put a railroad up there. By the way
! Sonora, received letter from one of
: our confidential agents in Philadelphia
! to look out for a young fellow by the
} name Of Spencer who is interested in
l Cooke who needs capital, and who has
3 perfected an electric smelter. He has
! spent about all his ready cash. You
/, know we must not allow anything like
} that to get started. There is plenty of
: water power up there, so Prince tells
! US, and no doubt the electric furnace
{. will be developed, but not yet, for us.
We don't want anything to upset our
calculations in Butte. We have too
much money invested We 1oo11st hold
