Citizen James Davis reached home
last evening. after spending several days
in Paradise. He intimates that John
Milton is an old bumbug, or any other
man who lost Paradise and tried TO
regain it. To be serious,HMr. Davis,
while in that valley was SO unfortunate
rs to lose two fingers from the left hand.
The accident occurred at the Touring
mill located there, but how we failed 10
learn.
We are Informed that a representative
OF eastern capitalists is now on the way
here for the purpose OF purchasing the
property OF the kinsley Copper Mining
Company. We happen to know some
ieetie dings about said property. but
the wisdom Of a Solomon could not
explain why it has been permitted 10
remain idle for the past year or more.
With twenty five years experience
among the copper mines all over the
Pucihc slope; with some knowledge of
cupriferous formations and the charau.
teristics Of tho metal and its ores, We
feel prepared to express the opinion
that the Victoria mine, owned by said
company, will at no distant day como
to the front as one OF the best dividend
paying mines in this State. We have
full confidence in the pending negctia-
tions being brought to u successful con:
ciusion for several substantial reasons.
First because the present managers
have neither the means nor experience
necessary to place the property on a
paying basis. and are therefore very
anxious to sell. Second, the property
is really ~meritorious, aud but for ways
that ARE dark and tricks that are vain
the thereof would to day be
ab We the Necessity OF going on the
market with no alternative but to sell;
and again, parties who desire a property
in copper mines might look tie country
over from Maine to California md not
find SO good an opportunity fer invest
ment.
