Pardon $\nme, if I allow common sense to\nask a question) if the gentleman\ninterviewed, found mining business so very favorable \"for the\nbuyers\" in the Rat Portage and\nRainy River district, \"why! did\nlie not foi' one stop there. If\nmining property can be bought\nso very reasonable in the said\nRat Portage and Rainy River\ndistricts, why: does the Rat Portage Gold Mining Company Limited, require a capital of 8.1,000,-\n000 for tlie purpose of ncquirin\nthe Master Jack mine, a mining\nlocation containing 37 acres,\nwhich is situated on the East arm\nof Blind-fold Lake, about one\nmile from the Lake of the Woods,\nthe only development done on\ntho claim, being a shaft sunk to\nthe depth of if) feet.\"\nA good prospect is cheap oven\nif yon pay a fair price for it,\nwhere as a poor one is not worth\nllie price of recording the same.\nI'm afraid, it is easy for a\ngentleman to tall;, and advise,\nwhat a prospector should ask for\nhis property, but please reverse\nthe conditions, allow a tin horn\ninvestor, to become the owner of\na cheap prospect, and you would\nsoon see how rapidly a cheap\nprospect, can become valuable,\nand what a largo money valuation\nhe will now require to placo this\nnow valuable property on the\nmarket.\nI am sorry to say, if the ininoral resources of this district, or\ntho markets of the world, would\nhave to dopend for their raw\nmaterial upon those who sit in\ntheir easy office chairs, and\n.scheme how to got the highest\ncommissions out of the prospect-\ntor or investor. I think that oven\ncheap prospects would uot burden the markets, The value of\nquartz claims in the eyes of adventurous prospectors, depends\nlargely upon the surrounding\nconditions, of which float, and\ngood placer deposits below his\nprospect, and being on iho same\nvein of a producing mine, are the\nmain factors, if those factors are\npresent, the price asked for the\nprospect is comparatively high,\nand tho chance for finding a paying mine equally as high, ln the\nFort, Steele district, where wo\nhave gulches, aud creeks, that\nhave produced, since tholr discovery, the vast amount of\n\u00C2\u00A722,000,000 in placer gold, aud\nwhere our prospectors urged on\nby great expectations, havo\nhunted and prospected for years\nlo lind the source from whence\null this great wealth came, und\nlor years were ridiculated, aud\nlaughed al by the\"llay Diggers,\"\nand there were times llinl even\ntholr own strong hearts Boomed\nto fail them; but hope, und a\nstrong reliance upon the tact\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2)Si^\u00C2\u00BB^s'\u00C2\u00AB'\u00C2\u00BB'9*\u00C2\u00BB^*'J\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00BBS9\u00C2\u00BB9s?''jj\nfi Is published every Saturday, und\nfl lias u o'litii'iinleed I'ii'i'itliltioo lui'ijer\nm than any other paper in Kast Knote-\n*? nuy.
