LOCAL. MINING REVIEW.

LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
Our remarks OF last week in reference
to the solidity of the camps resources
are fully borne out by the events of the
week. While little more circulating
medium would naturally cause things to

perity and ultimate favorable culmina-
ton OF the various mining enterprises
are patent to the most casual observer.
We believe that Phoebe will present d
livelier appearance and do more business
this Fall and Winter than at any time in

occasional grumbler will be met, and
now and then an enthusiastic party start

Raymond & Ely combine to form cri-
terion of judgment in relation to the
mining companies, while business of all
kinds seems to be on the increase.

mining men and merchants we believe

supposed to fringe every black cloud
will soon make itself apparent in silver
dollars lining all our pockets.
