DEVELOPMENT.

1t has been truly said that Rome was
not bult in day" and this proverb has
an apt force when applied to many 9TH
or grand institutions which require
.imc, even unto decades and centuries,
to be established and built up into
stage where the full force of their power
and magnitude may be comprehended.
Time has always been considered not
only necessary but valuable element
Of success in business 1t gives the inn
preston orStrength, stability and pcrma-
nence. Certain principles, or CORES
pondenccs, seem To run through every
department of creation, and the truth
that has been learned in regard to one
branch or thing is applicable in every
other department. modified by the
different characteristics and circum-
stances. The plant or animal, which
rushcs to its full stature in day, or an
hour, has a period of existence compara-
lively as brief and limited, while those
whose development is measured by
series of years have terms Of life Of cor
responding length and solidity.
Mining is an industry in which every
actcr Its best development requires
time. First, to obtain the best results,
there must be II season Of preparation,
putting in order and opening before any
attempt is made towards production
Herein and at this point IA great mistake
has been made. In many instances the
object of 4 mine has been prostituted TO
stock purposes while the production Of
mineral has been entirely ignored. But
! in Il majority of cases the mistake has
/ been in misunderstanding the range,
scope aid magnitude of the work, and
falling to comprehend the neccssary-ra
0uirements to secure the best results.
| Hence as claims have been pushed To
! production instead of toward develop
ment, the custom has been speedy dis
appointment and serious loss. The
| laws, una!terable as tire orbit of the
planets. written hv the hand of ages
