LOCAL MINING REVIEW
ror the week Ending Sept. G, Is,a

'he appearance OF our mines. But events
totally unconnected with the real yalue
oi 'ne mines have caused many of us 70
wear long faces. About this tima lac,
month many men were being set to work
IN dinerent mines; but, on the o,be,
hand' within the last few DAYS n GOOD
many have been discharged. A few are
,eaVihg Phoebe, and many talk Of leaving
IL all the surplus men would leave tbns
obiging the companies to seek for work
men instead of the workmen helm,
oohSed to seek for EMPLOYMENT tho
camp would be far better one in respec.
10 business at least. We think that sucb
a state OF affairs would also cause mora
mines to be developed; for business be-
ing then in a sound condition. MANY
business men who are now cramne,,
win regard to money matters, could
AFFORD to aid in the development of new
mines, which no outside capital can be
iuuuceu 10 invest in.
