A Western Man’s Great Luck In Disposing of His Property. “It is the easiest thing on earth to sell a mine in London for almost any price, provided you have anything to show an expert,” said Major Frank Mc- Laughlin. “There is also a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Some time ago I went to London to negotiate the sale of some mining property. Of course, the first thing I had to do was to let capital know what I was there for. Then, when inquiries commenced, I simply said: ‘Gentlemen, I have min- ing property to sell. If you mean busi- ness and want to buy, send your expert out to examine the property and make a report on it. You will know then What you are buying. ’ “A company was organized. The ex- pert examined the property and reported favorably, and a meeting was held to discuss terms. ‘ “ ‘NOW, major,’ said the spokesman, ‘we have found that the property may be worth Something. What is your price r’ “ ‘Two hundred and fifty thousand,’ said I. “ ‘That is more than we expected to pay. We expected to pay about 200, - 000. There is not much difference be- tween 200,000 and 250,000. If you will drop the 50,000 we will take it. ’ , ’ “I expected to get about SIOO, 000 for the property, so with a show of reluc- tancy I agreed to accept their ofer. When the papers were made out, I was surprised to learn that they had been talking about pounds and I about dol- lars, but I was very careful not to let my surprise leak, and that is the way I got $1, 000, 000 for the mine.
