Mica.

tors has during the past few mo"l
been almost wholly directed toward
mica mines. A stand still j. ahont til
best We can oo;i for in quartz until
railroad gets in and the consequence
those Ge. endent unon mines must nak
Il rustic in some other direction. Th
probation # mica has been an INN en-,
thing for those regions which have here
tofofc supplied the market, $" big
thing that it is common say
| ing that good mica min,
l. better than il gold mine. Now b,
| this it iS not meant that Il great corpora
ton could operate Il mica mine and dc
clare such dividends AS the HOmestak K,
can do, but that the outlay Of four ol
five thousand dollars will bring in great
Ter returns on i mica mine that the
same or double the amount can possibly
DO in any eight or ten dollar go'd mint
This section is full OF mica, some oI
Mhich is of Il very superior quality, !,
kind that Viii readily sell in the eastern
market. Much OF the interior grade

purposes which are at present only cX-
