Prospectors - One reason why more mining claims 'Ore not developed in the North Moc- casin district is because the prospectors and owners of prospects want too much cash for property that is nothing more nor less than a gamble. The _modern mining man is not disposed to rush in and pay big prices tor undeveloped because they are located on A rich mineral belt. It would not be good business to do so, and the successful .capitalist nowadays applies modern business methods to the min- ing industry just the same as in any other enterprise. When the prospector gets down to the same business basis, and tries to get capital interested in his claims by making it a fair propo- sition, then will he be able to get his property developed, and if it proves valuable, he ben4t a:c3iding,ly. Any man with common sense will not take a prospect and pay $15,000 or $3o,000 cash for it when there is nothing to show. It is possible that such a claim would, when developed, pay the in- vestor handsome returns on the amount invested, but then he has no assurance that it would do so, and the risk is too great. There' are capitalists who would spend several thousanedollars in de - 4 -eloping a claim of fair prospects for a half interest in the property, or on any plan that would give them a reasonable chance for their money. Take the famous Barnes -King mine for instance; that property was developed upon a one-half interest proposition, but its original owners could not have realized anything like one-half what it is now morth had they held out for a cash sale. 'I'hete are too many prospectors who place the selling price of their claims .tt the amount of money they think they need to keep them in luxury all of their lives, instead of at the actual commercial value of the property. Capitalists ate anxious to conic in and develop this district upon equitable terms. Montana State Fair 'I'he state fair, to be held in Helena the first week in Qctober, will no doubt prove to Be of nitich benefit to Mon- tana. The Helena promotors of the fair are doing lots of good work in visiting the towns and cities of the state and enlisting the support and co- operation of leading citizens in all sec- tions. EVery Montanian should take Pride in contributing whatever lie can to Cie success of the fair . whisk wi:1 brin r ; agricultural, stock and mineral exhibits from every county in the state, and give to ranchers anci miner in different sections, an idea of what each other is producing. • Fergus county should be represented by a full and comprehensive display of its agricul- tural, stock, and mineral resources. It is a rare opportunity to advertise our county, and it may be the means of bringing a large number of desirable settlers here to locate. • Excessive smoking killed William G. Patterson, of Kalamazoo, Mich., at the age of 89 years. During the past twelve years Patterson smoked more than 48,000 cigars, which cost him $4; 800 . Despite the slump in stocks in Wall street the business of the country is in a good healthy condition, and the efforts of the demo a;atic press to secure campaign material from disasters in the speculative market will 1 fall flat in face Of the nation's real prosper - ity. The reform movement in China has been gradually de/eloping for many years: It signifies a recognition that the old conceptions, standards and ways of doing things must give way to . new'ones if the country is to maintain itselt and have a prosperous future This is a consequence of the opening - of Chinese ports to other nations, and conta( t with the peoples of Europe and America. The Chinese reformers themselves say that the reform move\ ment is the direct result .of the teach- ings of Christianity. It is to be dis- tinguished from the secret societies in China - abroad which — gin to °WI: throw the present Manchu dynasty, and plan to do it by force.—Cureent History. It is said that $600,000,000 are spent annually in advertising in the United states. This sum exceeds the yearly gold output Of the country by $290,000,000. Nearly all of the suc- cessful business men of today spend many thousands of dollars in adver- tising their wares. They know from experience that it increases sales many fold to properly present , to f t. public . what they have to sell, the quality of their goods and the prices of same. Advertising has revolutionized trade, it has been the means of increasing small manufactories and businesses to institutions of national prominence ; and it may be said that more million. aires in the United States attribute their successes to judicious advertising than to any other single thing. It has been discovered by the city health officer of Butte, that the smoky city gets part of its ice supply from a pond which receives the sewerage from a slaughter house. This is as had as the marble slabs that were found in use in Spokane confectionery factories and which had done service in the morgue. But everything seems to go in Butte as that city has no law pro- hibiting the sale of such ice. The ice incident brings to the . mind of the writer an occurrence of deception prac- ticed upon the Butte people by one of the venders of sprinoimpiere. It used to be that the cikly water was very bad and there was a good harvest for the man who peddled pure spring water to the residents for five cents a bucket. One of the more unscrupulous dealers in nature's drink gut his supply Ewa) an old abandoned well where all kinds of disease germs thrived, and sold it to his unsuspecting customers for the pure . stuff. The pure spring water had to be carted from a few miles in the country while the impure water was within the city limits and easier cf access. A nugget of gold that weighed 31 ounces was recently found in a placer mine at Barirua, Britith Guiana. This find was so important that it was pub- lished in a number of papers. A find of a 31 -ounce nugget nowadays is an exceptionally large one and well worthy of note. During the palmy days of Australia and California a nugget 0131 ounces did not figure as important, and such a find was not deemed of importance worthy of publication. This 31 -ounce nugget was valued at $600. It would have merely been a fragment if broken frotrf the Great Welcome nugget of Australia, Which weighed about 184 pounds and was valued at $42,000. Australia produced a dozen or more nuggets ranging in size from ten pounds to 145 pounds. Califor- nia never produced a real nugget of gold such as the 1Velcome, of Australia. It, however, has turned out from its 'quartz mines some marvelous masses of gold and quartz. In actual gold nug- gets California has produced from . its placer mines 5o or more from a hun- dred ounces up to 50 pounds. The latest recorded finds of exceptional nuggets are from Alaska, but in the millions of dollars of gold mined there to date, the greatest gold nugget found weighed 120 ounces. Nuggets of 31 ounces or more have been unearthed in about every state where there is placer mining, Montana and Colorado having produced each several, but not of late—The Mining 1Vorld. • Lewistown Hotel Telephone 58 CHAS.
