likely to became one of the
great lve. i ad properties oi

opment on the main ore body

- v''.lues is also proving an
wre rf ource of such magnitude
,:w -j insure a bug period of
•vr.-da :tivity, in the event that
ii recently developed value&
re maintained. This seems
v j.y probable, in view of the
.act that very similar values
.two been found on the exten
i jri i of the main vein, both
nd below the areas of
jmerat.on. The daily
pr-junc.-on at present averages
arcund 100 sacks of ore raiig
ry around $200 per ton in
.\:Iu j. Shipping at the rate 01
0 tons per week this means a
,;ro .s output of close to $16,
j'OO a mmth from high grade
extraction alone. With the in
‘ lladon of .mine and milling
na.h.nery for handling the
.•tensive deposits of milling
frade ore now being left be
hind' there is an excellent
p o-oect that the income will
>i materially increased,
it is the not unwarranted
hope of the management that
he mine can be made to pro
duce the costs of installing the
.* iu red equipment. Should
.n.a hope be realized the prop
. / w.ll- be entitled , to share
ho.m.s in that respect with
ti:c Premier m;ne. But wheth
•. ^hJs hope is fully achieved
o.: not, the present season’s
v orations .have been decided
.y successful and indicate that
he property has considerably
*r.-ro than an average chance
of becoming a spectacular pro

SUCCESS
\Ve hear a great deal nowa
days about “go-getters,” and
many share the opinion that
being a “go-getter” and being
successful mean much the
This is far from
being, true.
It is possible for a “go-get
er” to be successful; but it is
ii:r;o possible to be successful
vvithout being in any sense a
‘go-getter”. The “go-getter” is
usually an individual who
starts out to climb as hi^h at
he can and make as much as
he can. A commendable am
bition, to be sure, if carried
out in a proper way.
Gibbons tells us of one of the
most outstanding “go-getters”
of all time—the Roman em
peror, Maxim. Maxim was a
real “go-getter.” In his youth
he was a lowly shepherd,
grazing his cattle on the ver
dant hills of Thrace. But, be
:ng an ambitious person, and
about eight feet tall, he decid
to join the army and make a
name for himself. His one idea
was to get ahead in the world
and his promotion in the arm>
was rapid. He secured the
favor of the emperor Alexan
der Severus and repaid him
by iiaving Alexander put to
death in Maxim’s own tent.
Maxfim was then proclaimed
emperor. The “go-getter” had
; wcceeeded with mighty suc
cess ; for the emperor of the
Romans was then virtually the
ruler of the known world.
But, withal,, Maxim was not
a success. After three bloody
j years of struggle to retain his
i nosition he was* assassinated
j by his own army.
Meanwhile there were sev
eral million Romans not men
! ‘ioned by Gibbons who were
| narrying and raising families;
j educating their children, keep
| ing their promises and trying
I to be decent, self respecting
| citizens. It is possible that in
the opinion of Maxim they
were mere no-account3, fail
ures. But in the long history of
the human race they and
those like them are the suc
cessful ones and Maxim and
his like are the failures.

MINE FINANCING
The problem of mine financ
ing is one that again takes a
prominent place in the public
mind upon revival of mining
operations. In every phase 01
of human activitiy it takes
money to make money, m
farming, manufacture, trans
>ortation, merchandising, and
every other commercial trans
action, capital is a necessity
of business.
So it is in mining, where ev
en the richest veins must be
opened, plant installed, trans
portatibn provided, and reduc
tion to commercial form ac
complished before returns can
oe had from the ore. All such
financial organization of busi
ness is recognized as a pari
)f the commercial structure
| and carries the same credit j
i hat the business itself has.
Mining financing has been
seized upon for criticism gen
erally, because of the miscon
luct of some operations in
mining promotion. As a mat
ter of fact, the financial poli
cies revealed in many banking
institutions in Denver and else
where show as objectionable
operations as can be cited in
my of fraudulent mining pro
motions, but the entire bank
! tng business is not condemned
i because of such cases; not
i should legitimate mine pro
motion suffer any greater dis
| credit.—Denver and Financial
j Record.
