NEW ARGUMENT,

mines and mining operations-espec-
tally those men who have met with
considerable loss in ill-advised spec
ulations in the same direction-nev-
ertheless it 10 certain that the
undisputable logic of solid output
will present arguments that must
conclusiyely prove the value and pro-
fitableness of mining conducted in a
business. like manner.
There has been much promise and
many possibilities outlined and her
aided forth; there must be now the
tangible evidence that cannot be
gainsaid. Wide vein, rich assay, and
millions in sight have lost their at
tractiveness and must give way to the
more substantial evidence OF bullion
bar and smelter returns.
No one who has begun to compre-
bend the question of mining and the
vast importance of our unmeasured
mineral resources dou Dts for a mo-
ment the grand future of this great
industry.
1t is clearly evident that for time
there must be period of delay and
some suffering while the re-adjusting
process takes place and the change
In public opinion goes through its
different processes and arrives at
lust conception OF the truth. For
time the mining industry of the whole
country must suffer from the curse
that has been cast upon 1t from the
unbusiness like and swindling meth
DDS that have been for so long time
in vogue, and it never can advance
except in the line of production.
Whatever tends to divert the forces
in operation from the development of
mines for the production of bullion is
factor false and injurious, and in 80
much tends to retard its best advance
ment and detracts from the possibili.
ties of its highest success.
People are beginning to compre-
bend that there has been great
mistake made, and many are only
conscious of this fact. Some are yet
in the bitter waters of disappoint
ment, while others are justly indig-
nant as they learn how they have
given their money for the painted
shadow of nothing. AS more light
comes. solid enduring basis of real
mining will be revealed and men will
comprehend as they never have before
its solid permanence and its positive,
practical and substantial foundation
upon which the activities OF years
may be safely established.
1t will take some time to make all
these things known and to convince
Thousands, who have been deceived,
that mining is not a deceitful and
uncertain game of chance, in which
falsehood and Misrepresentation are
prominent factors.
Output is the magic tslisman that
shall drive out the unclean spirits
that too long have danced in the fore
ground, hiding the mountains of real
value based upon the truth OF mex
haustible resource. The pick and
drill are the weapons which must
battle against falsehood and wipe out
the stain of dishonor which has come
upon the fair name of one of the
preateat and most massive industries.
Production is the impregnable armor
of defense that will stand like living
wall of Are against those who would
traduce the character of mining
Upon this basis and with these de.
fenses, there can be no question of the
ultimate result. The field is wide
and ample, the resource valuable,
practically unlimited, and always in
demand. With these great factors
of strength, time will surely vindicate
its true value and real character.
A great part of the work to estab-
lish the industry of gold and silver
mining upon its true basis, and make
known its many advantages, to dis
prove the false impressions that have
been confirmed, and vindicate its many
claims for consideration, must be done
in the mining camps. Solid facts,
tangible results, and the argument Of
