Mining Prospects.

| Mining Stock Register and Journal cd Finance
 The mining interests are becoming
 more prosperous each week ID al parts
 Of the country. The rich deposits of
 iron, cOpaer, silver and gold are being | developed and the daily products Of
 each of these valuable metals have l reached to an enormous amount. No l other branch of business Is so prosper
 ous as mining. Men who were poor @ 1 few months ago have become uch as lt l by magic. While the speculator has been issuing his manufactured mining
 stocks, the practical miner has been | steadily working his mine until having | struck a bonanza he has made himself
 wealthy without extracting one dOllal | from the pocket of others. Thousands | of mining prOpertes, in different States | and Territories of the Union, have, dur- | ing the last few years, been developed | from mere prospects, into valuable mines | from which millions of dollars have been | taken weekly.
 The old CJmstOck mines, which maay people have declared Co be cxhausteI. are again coming to the front as produc- CTS of rich and profitable ores. We have never believed these mines were e1- hausted, but have supposed that NAAt AEAtt'AANn VI iAbAtAiAE AANAf~ from has been caused more from want of energy or inclina- ton on the part of the managers than from scarcity of paying ore. Be pa- tient little longer. and we firmly be- lieye that those owning stocks in the ComstOck companies will reap a rich harvest.
 The mining properties of other parts of Nevada, in California, Colorado Ba- kOta, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, New Mexico. Wyoming, Oregon, Michigan, North and south Carolina, GeOrgi8, Maine, and other fields of operations, are all coming under the treatment or the lately improved machinery and pro cesses, and are m consequence, amply remuueratiDg to those making them.
 During the last 90 years our miners have been gradually acquiring a thor ougb practical kuOwledge of mining as science in all It's branches, and fully informed as Co the peculiar nature of the various kinds of ore and their spscIai treatment. Our mechanics and otbcs professional men have also been steaaI- ly improving their machinery and pro cesses, until at present each and eve-y class of ore can be treated with great certainty of success. While thus ad- vaucing m the mining and mechanical departments, We have not remained Idie as Co the management of such interests. At present none but those who are get ting up mere stock issuing companies employ as super ntendents of mInes any but practical miners, who have served a regular time in the mines as worl CTS, and are therefore fully iu- formed as tO every branch of the busi- ness.
 The day for organizing mining com panies representing mere prospects, has passed away. The mining newspapers are gradually assuming an attitude of hostility to all these fraudulent inning stock operations and arc ready to smotE- CT them as soon as created. Many news papers have already joined in the exter- miuating war upon wildcats, and many are expected to soon enroll their nauei upon the list oi the defenders of legIti- mate mining enterprises. We are work ing tor the interests Of the miners who have done SO much to develop the min ing resources of OUT common country. through whose instrumentality the heretofore unknown territories of the great West have been explored, and their great mineral and other resources have been thrown open for the benefit of ail
