MINING MATTERS IN hUMBoLDT'-AHe
Register Of Saturday says:
The dull season is at its zenith, but the
struggle now making will soon Timber the
joints of the time, and bring on season
of progress. Eastern capital will aid US
greatly, in the Herculean work of opening
the silver lodges; large amounts are in
yesting; but greenbacks alone will not
bring the silver to the surface, though you
lard the mountain ankle deep with them.
We must work. The gods and the green
backs help those who help themselves
There is vein for the silver, and most
of us have been here long enough to be in
the vein or know something of where it Is;
and we must manifest our faith by works
by faith alone we cannot be saved.
Considerable of an awakening has lat
terly taken place. For while little acti-
witty could be observed, except in the pre-
paration of titles for sale IN the East
The boys have awakened from the green
back dream. The sober second thought
animates them, and it is always right. 1t
was right when it called to US to quit ped
ding stocks and help ourselves. 1t is right
now and we are glad to see it IS needed.
Larger owners in several of the Oldest
claims have counseled together, of late,
and determined to 60 on with work and
develop their lodges, and to sell out all
