1t is generally believed in Eureka
that the present thinning out Of our
population will result eventually in
benefit to the camp, for the reason
that a more enterprising lot of people
will come in and take the places Of
those that are leaving. One thing is
certain, the GROWERS who have always
claimed that there were no permanent
mines in the district except those Of
Ruby Hill, whose ill-founded belief
prevented them from w going to see
Tor themselves, or who never took
chances in anything but days pay in
their lives, are among those who are
seeking pastures new. The new com
ers will not be troubled much with the
nonsensical ideas of those old fossils
who never had pluck enough to either
combat the false impressions they re-
ceived from others who pretended to
know everything about mines or pros
poets which they never saw, but will
20 TO work and dig up something for
themselves that will pay. There are
still among us a hardy lot Of men who
believe that there is great intrinsic
merit in some Of the normal prospects
OF which the surrounding hills are
full. These are the men whose abid-
ing faith will induce them to remain,
and many OF them will yet get rich.
1t will be strange, indeed, If some Of
the almost numberless prospects in
this district do not eventually turn out
big, but unless they are developed, if
they ave prove to be worth a bean,
will be a still stranger thing. The
timber suits have discouraged the
greater number Of the inhabitants
hereabout, but there are q few long
headed prospectors Who are familiar
with the mountains ia every direction,
who are here to stay, and who think
that this is a good time to look about
them for something better than they
have yet struck. Some OF them will
be successful and the result will be
the discovery OF other such mines as
the Diamond, that was recently bond
ed to the Salt Lake people. 1t is
rather unfortunate that many OF the
more adventurous prospectors are
poor, being the result of IMPROVE
dence, or taking more burden on them
selves than they could carry. 1t is
unfortunate that our merchants, in
times of depression such as we have
10 face at present, cannot carry those
men who are always plying the ham,
mer and pick in search of hidden boz
nanzas. 1t may be that some Of
these hardy adventures will have to
yield to the pressure of hard luck and
need of help, but others will be re-
warded for their perseverance. Some
there are who will ask: What shall
We do with ore if we find any?"
They will not have TO bother much
about finding a market, for although
our smelters have closed up shop for
the present, we have an outlet to VAL
lejo Junction and Salt Lake still left
us. Besides, the timber troubles will
not last forever. These timber suits
will probably be quashed, and our
representatives in Congress will doubt
less find us relief at the Nations Capt.
tai, whence the present trouble ema-
mated, no matter whether at the insti-
CATION Of mischief-makers or not.
Here is a chance for Mr.. Bartine to
win laurels for himself.
