All Mines Were One Time Ah Re- instance of "easy coine, easy go the following story will be rend with interest. Kvery mini, almost, who halt had much to do with : i ii in mining, milling can tell one or more of a similar character. It is pleasant to note, however, that they are not so plentiful now as they have been In the days gone by. The story is as follows: Many years ago, in Lander county, Nevada, an old prospector had the good luck to strike some very rich pockets of gold ore in the surface workings of his mine, and. after shipping a few carloads from his find, he found that he had something like 0 to his credit. Klated with hi good fortune, he decided to make a visit to e his home In Missouri. He spent money freely on his trip and he gave the farmers of old Missouri some idea of what is meant by the term, a 'highflyer. Upon his return he brought with him u lot of Missouri cornhuskers" nnd employed them as miners, as he could get them to work This was his first great mis"cheap. as take, cheapness and inexperience in the wrecking of n go He realized this mining enterprise. fact after It was too late to profit by his experience; but. meanwhile, poor success attended his efforts, ns no more rich pockets were found, and before long he hnd expended, in fruitless labor and search, all that was left of the nice little fortune he hnd previously made. He then decided to build a mill for the treatment of the ores of his mine, nnd borrowed $20,000 for this purpose, payment of the debt hi full to be made within twelve months. Instead, however, of putting an adequate force at work on the installation of the plant, so that it could go into commission within a month or two, he employed only one man, and It took this man one full year to complete the works; and, during this period. Instead of opening up the ore measures of the mine so that the mill could be run to its full capacity when completed, he had only about 100 tons on the dump ready for treatment and but very little more in sight in the mine. By the time the mill was ready to go into commission, payment was due on the Not being $20,000 he had borrowed. able to pay even the Interest on the $20,000, suit was commenced, judgment was given and the property was sold to the mortgagee at sheriff's sale, and the mine owner lost all. For years the mine, which Is really a good one, has been closed down, with no one but a watchman in charge. Not so very long ago a passer-bstopping at the mine, which is in an Isolated locality, found the watchman dead ln the cabin, and In the stable were his two horses, which had perished through starvation. This Is not a very cheerful story, but it fully illustrates a condition that Invariably follows bad management It Had the original Is true, nevertheless. owner of this mine been a man of good judgment, he would have been more careful of his small fortune, even though It came to him easily when It did come. Instead of bringing to the mine a lot of men who knew nothing at all about mining, he should have given employment to two or three really good, experienced miners. He made a mistake when he decided to build a mill when he had no ore reserves In sight. He also made a mistake In not thoroughly prospecting his property durinf ihe period of mill building, and he disclosed gross ignorance in business affairs when he employed only one man in the building of hla mill when he should have rushed the work with the greatest possible speed. His first good fortune probably turned his head, and the wheels thus set In motion buzzed and buzzed until at last he found himself bankrupt, without a cent and without a foot of own. ground which he could rail his $40,-00- old-tim- hand-ln-ha- nd low-gra- de y, S management of the Journal t a favor if subscribers P'mpt,jr tny non -- deliver!

The United Steel may have been an exception, and it might lie here added that the amount of plunder taken n hy these premotor would have developed and equipped many thousand mini's and given employment to many thousands of men. Simply because a mining company is young and offers its shares on the start at a little less titan iur, is no reason why it should lie passed up.

In other words, they investigate thoroughly before l uttiug lit their money, tint afterwards.
