4 WORD ABOUT OUR m,mEs.


 We have claimed. and in good faith, our unbounded belief, that this section offered inducements to practical miners tha, could not be fourd elsewhere. The truth of our assertions, and the founda- tion for such belief is being demonstrated wherever mines are being systematically worked. A very forcible and striking illus tration is afforded in the case of C. A. Girdler, who has recently made ship ment of ore from the old Goodwin mine. Mr.Girdler came here last sum- mer to look over the mining situation. He spent a number of months Tn mak- ing a quiet investigation, and studying the history of mining m this seetion' He finally decided on taking lease on the above property, which had lain idle for years. There was not pound of ore in sight, but with his knowledge ot mines and his information of what 1t had produced he was satisfied that there was more ore m the property. On the first of December he went out and com menced work cleaning oIt the shaft and developing the property. Two months of the tine he was laid up in bed scarcely able to move, from being thrown from a wagon, but work was continued on the mine. An ore body WAS struck and to-day he received hlS returns from the sampins works, of an eight' ton lot, of three grades, which wen' 4,6oo, 5000 and SIP ounces resp ctively in silver. He has about another car load also out ready for shipment. What has been dcne by Mir. Cirdler can be done by other energetic practical mining men as he by no means ex hausted the opportunities.
 Another O, the old bullion producers | which has been allowed to lie Gorman for years IS the Senator, work on whicf l was commenced, but recently again hl I. W. McGowan, There IS every reason to believe, from the past hiso'y Of Iii
 property, that Mir. McGowan ~iii repea ! in the Senator the experience of NIT | GrdIer in the Goodwin, probably + greater degree cven.
 A lease has also been taken OR n ' other old time producer on Turke,
 creek. which formerly yielded ore ~hIci bore transportation to California and s;il yielded handsome profits, and whIci
 will be worsed again.
 As stated, there are numerous other l opportunities of a similar character to b. found in the country only awaiting en-
 ergy, directed by toe sound judgment 0 | practical mining men 10 make then
 dividend paying properties. No,ahl.
 among them may be >tsted the Sve
 Belt. which has yielded $3oo. .ooo, durln!
 the old wagon freighliug period Of thi
 country and which during the past fev
 weeks, while being worked m scrl
 small way under lease has procured
 over $4,ooo. There are numerous pro ger
 ties which might he named but 1t IS reed
 less to enumerate They are here and art
 to be had, the only thing needed, b ing
 men of some means who will work
 them systematically and in business k, !! manner.
 Since writing the above it is learned that the Silver Bet mine will be eX lm-
 med by a mining engineer from St Louis Tn theinterest of New York parties Beyond all question this property vii 1 prove to be a bullion producer l
 worked. It was examined by practi- | cal miner after Il was shut down and hi: report was favorable, but owing to litiga 1 ton, from which 1t IS now free, nCtisine 1 could be done. The fact that tht l mine is only eighteen miles from Pres colt. it will not require any high .radt ore to make it pay, while recent assay: of fair samples ran from Sc to S5e l ounces in silver and 90 Der cent in lead
