The mines of thc Pacific coast have been
 handled more thoroughly, perhaps, through
 the agency of the press, than any or all
 others in ;he world, and in many cases very
 much estimated beyond their real value and
 worth. People who know but little about
 mines read inc glowing accounts published in the papers. of the fortunes awaiting those who are willing to risk a few hundred dol lars in the stocks. Many grasp at wha; they imagine to be the golden opportunity of becoming wealthy, and after a little time find that they have been duped. and thai, the imagined gloricS of wealth have vanished and disappointment and poverty has taken its place. ltis true, nevertheless. that for tunes have been made by very many. still. those who lose are ten To one. It should not be the case. Persons who know noth- ing about mines and mining should satisfy themselves that when they invest. that there is a foundation upon which to make that investment.

Ma chinery has commenced to come in, and work will be inaugurated soon on scale that will not only be flattering, but the re- suits will be such that will astun,sh the world. Pima county, on the south, with h mines containing the brilliant ores resem- bling those extracted from the famous silver mines of Sonora, has already reputation established, on facts, which will vie with that of Mexico.
