,ocAL MINING REVIEW.

INC Al MlNANU NE lew
For the week Ending Nov. s2, 1873.
Times are generally dull towards the
aoa Il the month. and the present month
i no exception. The miners are usually
aid off between the LIST and 9Th of the
month and therefore by the goth or 25tt
money becomes scarcer, and Of course the
.rv Of "hard times is heard more freely
than at other times. We have no new
discoveries OF rich strikes to record this
week. Mining affairs are going on in
their accustomed channels, with only few
changes to note. There has been al
ox,dus of disco ntented and adventurou,
miners for Cherry Creek, and some fol
San Juan, and therefore there is not so
large a percentage of idle men upon the
streets. While we are sorry to part with
anv of the hardy miners who contribute
to the development of the mining re.
sources OF this district, we do say, that
when man becomes discontinued and
restless, it is better for him and for the
camp that he should seek his fortune
elsewhere. To all the hardy and adven.
turous who are Drawing dangers in quest
Of fortune, we bid godspeed, and to the
home miners, upon whom our material
prosperity depends, We look for the
more rapid development of our mining
interests.

lively around the new shop. The build

December, if the foundry don't fail in
sending some of the material which Mr..
Nelson has ordered.

RAYMOND & ELY.
This staunch old mine continues to
employ heavy force of men, sinking

sanguine hopes of its many friends will
be fully realized, and Phoebe will be
