per month and over with rocker. There
are some six or eight paying mines IN the

SAYS the Mining Journal Mining has
suffered little if at all from mining
students, who, as rule, take pride In
their profession, and who endeavor all they

occupation is telling lies and pocketing fees.
For many years there has not been so
bright prospect for the mining interests
of Inyo as at present, says the Independent.
The county has been under cloud ever
since the failures which occurred here
about fifteen years ago. The cause OF
these failures was not the want of merit
in the mines, but lack of knowledge in
the science of mining and the reduction of
ores.
