KACTICAI, miners, as they
like to call themselves, are
inclined to flout scientific
training so says tho Daily Mining
Record. They can point to numer
ous mistakes made by the man who
writes a bunch of capital letters
after his name. They can tell you
of instances in which he has turned
down prospects that have after
wards become mines, nnd others
where he has tnado favorable re
ports upon propel ties that have
become nothing better than glory
holes into which capital vanished
never to return. In fact, it" only one
side is given, the case looks rather
ba l for tho mining expert who has
received his pn hminary training in
the technical schools.
Hut suppose a lew inquiries are
made about the mistakes of that
other kinds of experts the so-called
practical mining man. The great
bonanzas ol today have oiteti been
found besulo trails over which prac
tical miners have walked daily for
years. A geologist conns aiong
and detects wealth in lock that has
woin out many dollars' worth of
sole leather for practical miners. A
tenderfoot strikes his pick into
j fortunes where practical miners are
positive that pay rock cannot exist.
If the mistakes df mining engineers
: would (ill a book, those of so-called
1 practical miners wo id furnish
material for libraries.
Hecause there is no one who can
tell with absolute certainty the
characteristics and value of an ore
holy that has not leen fully devel
oped is not a good ieasn, however,
for avoiding mining investments.
Just as well might tho farmer refuse
to plant corn in the spring because
no one can tell him how much rain
will fall during the summer. Just
as well might the railroad refuse to
run trains until it has a quaranty of
tratTie enonch for orofitablt mipri.

about the vagaries of the weather
man. In some mining enterprises
tho risk is even less. With great
deposits of low grade ore developed,
and the cost of mining and milling
precisely determined, the production
of gold is carried on without the
lisks of manufacturing because
there is no variation in the. prices of
the raw material and the market for
the finished product is stable. In
, dredging, fairly thorough prospect
ing will place the enterprise upon
' an equally certain basis.

there is nothing approaching cer

make a nood guess. So also may
the nraclical miuer. liut their
ifiiei.r nri not alwavs ritdit. If
they wcro, if there were no chances
to lc taken in developing prospects,
therc would be no opportunities for
making great fortunesin their devel
opment. Their value would bo
determined at once upon the secur
ing of expert opinion, and the
fortune would go to the discoverer.
In practice, however, the prospector
seldom gets any but very moderate
rewards, while tho men who develop
p.-ospects are on the road that may
take them to great wealth.
Uut while from the nature of the
. 1 . i:.m.
case, there are no entirely renauio
guides to be had in the developing
of prospects, the Investor will b- in
error if he thinks he can dispense
with the services of experts. It
will sometimes happen that a fake
compmy will maKe goou wun a
prospect Hint both engineers and
practical miners declare to be worth
less. Such exceptions do not make
it less true that the mine oper tors
who can count upon success kie
ihose who (secure the best advice
available.
Many great fortunes have been
made in the development of pros
pects, and many more are yet to be
made. By some such fortunes will
be won by luck. To others, they
will come as the legitimate reward
of successive trials in which the
services of the best trained men
have been obtained. The practical
man who has never been inBide a
college labratory may do better
work than the graduate who has
had as little experience in the labra
tory of nature; but, given equally
good beads to work with, a combi
nation of the two trainings pro
duces the best results.

A. G. Reynolds of Ashland, was

O. M. Murphy of Medford, was

Zinc tailings are proving a source
to wealth of the mines of the Bar
rier range, in New South Wales,
the Broken Hill Proprietary mines
having demonstrated that the long
despised zinc ores which occur so
abundantly at Broken Hill can be
treated successfully and that com
pany is making a commercial suc
cess of their treatment. The British
Broken Hill Company now fall in
line and are constructing a plant on
lines similiar to that of the Proprie
tary Company and will treat their
tailiugs, over 300,000 tons of which
have accumulated there. The for
mer company had been using these
tailings to fill mine slopes, and this
filling they now intend to attempt
to withdraw with what success re
mains to be seen. It is stated that
the tailings contain about 17 per
cent zinc in the form ot blende,
which will repay the cost of recov
ering the metal irom tnese ores
once they are again on the surface.
The mining methods adopted in re
covering these tailings will be of
interest. Mining and Scientific

The owner of a mining claim
patented or otherwise, upon discov
ering thaC the vein located passes
out of the side line, may locate the
exteution of the vein on an adjoin
ing claim, through the "medium of a
discovery made in driving a drift on
tho vein on the first claim into that
lo "ated later, and if the original lo
cater claims that the assessment
work for the second claim was per
formed in that first located, and can
prove that such work was for the
benefit of both, he may hold both
claims by doing all the assessment
work in the first claim. Sinking a
shaft iu this location might be
claimed as development tor both.
If B, thinking that A had abandoned
the second claim, undertook to relo
cate it, he . must make a discovery
from the surface, in which A has the
advantage of B, lor the latter cannot
claim A'8 discovery on the second
claim, because he can only do so
through becoming a trespasser on
A's first claim. B must sink through
the "wash" and make a bona fide
discovery ou the second claim, if he
wishes to attempt to initiate title to
A's second claim, and even then he
runs tho risk at first pointed out,
that of having A say that he had no
intention of abandoning this claim
and did hia assessment ou the ad
joining claim. Assessment wort
may be done on a patented claim for
the benefit of an adjoiuihg unpa
tented claim.
