note the fact that during the past

and as a result the more shrewd Of

few thousands Of dollars what would
heretofore have cost many times rs
much.
Further. the RANGE editor. en- route
east. stopped oye ut Topeka and saw
Mr.. Castle and his friends, and from
an interview with these parties he
gathers that the concentration here vii
soon be put in motion again. Indeed.
from what he has learned, he was IN
expectation Of finding the parties here
ON his arrival last Monday. That they
are 10 be here soon, and for business,
does not admit of doubt. In addition
the editor of the RANGE enjoyed the
satisfaction Of returning home TO fad,
during his absence, that another offer
for building a concentration, In this vi.
cinity, is made on the most favorable
terms, as to the requirements Of ore,
and the per cent. which the projectors
propose to save IN their method of
treatment.
This is business, and il is for the
range TO offer IL the prumptest en-
couragement. IL will in no sense be
in conflict with Mr.. Castles enterprise,
for this field is large enough tor both.
The place Tor the new enterprise
would unquestiOnably be on the South
Fork, and at The junction with Byers'
Run. Located there the 81. Cloud, the
Colossal, and the Midnight would be
easy of access. The requirement Of the
new enterprise is an assurance OF but
ten tons per day. The Midnight alone
could furnish, on its present develop.
ment. double that amount of ore, and
in two months the very work of taking
out would produce "a development of
the property which would add ten tons
more to the daily production. Twenty
to thirty tons per day from the Mid
night of its body Of ore running $50
per ton, of itself would be Il product
that would set this whole camp in mo-
ton, and attract the attention of CAPT
tai 10 our district with u force which
would give the range a SUBSTANTIAL boom.
The RANGE has talked with both the
owners Of the Midnight. and they
manifest a willingness to work the pro-
perty, while they could not afford to do
it for the mill in Chloride on account
of the expensive charges for carriage of
the crude ore here for treatment. They
say the difference IN the price of cart
age from the mine TO the mouth of
Byers' Run. and 10 the mill here at
Chloride would pay the cost of concen-
tr%ation, and that the saving of a few
months in this way. would give them "a
fund whereby they would build a con
centrator of their own directly on their
own claim.
So. all things considered, after the
presidential e%lection,and with the begin
ming of the new year the RANGE looks
for u revival of the mining industry all
over the country, and for the various
above assigned reasons expects TO see
the Black range catch its full share OF
the successful breeze. The editor there
fore returns to his post with new cour.
age ,audbows his cordial congratulations
to his patrons satisfied that the neal
future. has in store the fulhllnent of the
predictions of three years ago with ref
erence to the great mineral resources OF
this district.
