Many of the new men employed il the mine are leaving, which would in dicatc that some of them are losing confidence ill the future prospects of this camp. That this opinion Is not shared in by the mine authorities is evidenced by the large amount of tim bers and supplies constantly forwarded to the mine. It may be fact that some important changes are in con temptation in the near future, but if so it remains a secret with the author ities and the general public have no share in the confidential relations of the directors and other officers of the company. With the general air of prosperity now prevailing mining cir cles, must come brighter days and in creased prosperity for the Silver King mine.
