A MINING EXCHANGE.
What II Wnl Do for Spokane
Falls and tho Surrounding
Country.
An Opportunity Now Presented
by Which Lost Ground May
Be Recovered.
To THE Eplron or rHS REVIEW,

To THE EplroBoY rHE REVIEW,
IL Is "a great source of qualification
to the few persons Of this city who
have the mining interests Of the sur
rounding country at heart to notice
the sudden awakening that has
taken place regarding this import
ant industry In the past few weeks.
The smelter, the exposition, mineral
palace and mining exchange propo-
sitions all tend to show that the
people are aroused to the necessity
of bringing the mineral wealth of
our tributary country to its proper
center, instead Of allowing II to flow
to other places hundreds Of miles
distant.
The remarks of Chairman War
rem Hussey, at the mining exchange
meeting last night, should be printed
verbatim 40 that every one could
read. The hearty cheering with
which his words were received
showed conclusively that the many
gentlemen present were In accord
with his views ON the mining q,ies-
ton.
During my residence OF two years
and four months In this city ] have
been approached by hundreds of
persons asking for information a. to
where they could place an interest
I'm promising prospect, so as to OBJ
tain funds to prosecute Its develop
ment.
have been compelled to tell them
that Portland or Helena were the
nearest points where they could
find persons who would listen to
their propositions. This is one Of
the great causes that have wre-ted
from Spokane Falls so much Of her
tributary wealth, and diverted 1t to-
ward other cities.
BY the carrying out of the projects
now proposed, Spokane Falls yet
has time TO recover many Of her lost
opportunities.
Had the same interest been taken
some time ago, and had the people
grasped the situation, how many
Morning mines, Tiger, Poorman,
Clusters and scores OF Others would
be contributing their Immense
wealth to Spokane Falls instead of
enriching Denver, Omaha or Hell.
ena?
BY successfully establishing and
properly conducting the mining ex-
change much lost ground can he re-
gained aud future bonanzas con-
trollcd.
Our tributary mineral country is
scarcely scratched over. The days
OF the poll pick are not yet past.
There ls no doubt that as much
mineral wealth yet lies hidden as
has been uncovered. A mining ex-
change Will permit many of our
pro-pectors to lloat their best prop
critics and obtain means to develop
the Others or seek farther for newer
fields.
BY means Of the mining exchange
persons can obtain interests in pros
poets that, when developed, possibly
u kings ransom could not purchase.
1t would solve the problem of
making this city great ore market,
similar to Dcnver--a market where
the miner, with u few pounds of ore
or u thousand or more tons, could
turn his product into cash.
When this Is brought about, the
permanency OF all our Institutions Is
assured. Real estate values will
reach higher plane and all indus
tries will thrive.
There are two important features
hoped for by the majority OF the
mining men, and they are, first,
that the exchange will be strictly
for the handling of mining business,
and second that no schemes of II
wildcat nature will be countenanced.
All hail to the advent of the smelt-
er, the exposition, mineral palace
and mining exchange. With their
approach all possible clouds that
might o'erhang the city's future
clear away. She will control n
source of wealth that will never be
found wanting, II. II. KEMP.
