oTTR MTNTNG REVIEW
For the Week ending August 20.

style. o IL report would inform the pub
lie that general prosperity, in n mining
point of view, rnled the hour, when in
fact extraordinary inactivity prevails
though this is no fault of our mines.
Bat little is doing where there is SO
much to be done), and basing an opin-
ion upon the operations Of the present,
did il depend solely upon the action Of
the principal mine owners of the Dis
trict TO introduce that moro active era
which II has been our inclination from
time TO time to predict, we would con-
clude that our hopes of n future pros
nerous condition were only the 'baseless
fabric of A DREAM There is not that
life and business activity here to which
We. as a community, are entitled, and
which our vast mineral should
command. The astonishingly rich ore
first disclosed upon Treasure Hill erazed
the people, and all sought for deposits OF
eoual richness, discarding that which in
ord;narv times would have been eagerly
husbanded. As a consequence, every
,b;no was oyerdone; and the reaction
now leaves us at the lowest financial
ebb. with a Respondent and discouraged
nopulation, though situated in the most
promising mining section of the world.
The ores termed low grade paying
more though per tun than those of the
western part of the State, must be
worked to insure prosperity-which will
be done. If we reduce them at a profit,
prosperity will follow. The problem then.
to be solved, is whether these low grade
ores can be p~roftably benefciated. while
labor demands the present usurious
rates. Reform in this respect will come;
more perfect reduction works are now
being erected, and another decade will
find us producing more bullion than any
other District of the State.
