position will possibly be attained at an earlier
period than could be expected. Already bet
ter class of capitalists incline to investigate the
merits of companies organized for quarrying
and reducing silver ores. A higher class OF
superintendents are employed, and no effort
spared to procure the most efficient appliances
for extracting the precious metal
Hitherto this branch of industry has been
confined to the simple laborer or the speculator;
the one unable and the other not willing to ex-
tend to the public those advantages which q
country, so richly endowed by nature, is calcu-
lated to confer. Yet when intelligently and
honestly developed, few properties pay better
than silver mines, provided they be selected
with judgment and the ledges be true issure
veins. TOO many of the ledges located are SO
narrow as to make their working Improbable
and investors cannot be too inquiring on this
point as well as regards the ready supply of
wood salt, and water, so essential for the cheap
reduction of mineral ores. 4an

that the company will take good position
among the best class of Silver Mines.
