A MARKED CHANCE.

There are many evidences that the
mining industry of this country is
entering upon an area of stability and
prosperity such as was never before
known in its history. There are in
dications Of special activity in almost
every mining camp, and especially
those of Montana, and at the same
time there are in the eastern hnanc-
ial centers, signs of a movement
toward investment in these fields.
There is at this time marked absence
of speculative feeling both in the
east and in the west in fact one of
the strongest evidences of the con-
dition indicated is shown by the small
interest manifested in the mining en-
changes all over the country, and q
lack of enthusiasm in their movements
and operations. It is stated that re-
Gently the owners of some of the
principle Comstock mines pointedly
indicated to the San Francisco stock
change that the power at that insti-
tuition ove the mines was lost, and
that it would be useless to ATTEMPT
to resign the control so long held.
For too long a time the mines of the
west have been used practically for
the purpose of increasing or decreas-
ing the value Of the stocks according
to the requirements of the mining ex-
changes, and it may we'll be remarked
as IN important ever when this power
has been thrown off, and the mines
are to be valued according to their
productive ability.
AS the typical backwoodsman no
longer exist except in the history of
the past, 80 it is clearly evident that
the promoter of mining schemes is
losing his place and prominence, and
will soon no longer be known except
in the legends of the past. Another
feature of special Importance giving
evidence in the same direction, is
that the mining company of high
capitalization and gorgeously painted
stock certificates, is very rarely en-
countcred. 1t, too, has evidently
had its day. These things clearly de-
monstrate the fact that a reliable and
business basis has been established:
that product has been recognized as
the real object of the expenditure of
labor and capital, and that an econ
omical development of the mineral
resources of the country differs in no
way from any other business of the
character, and, therefore, with
much less outward show, much more
will be accomplished in the direction
which will give satisfactory returns.
The day Of deliverancc from suspicion
of gambling and chance has come
for the mining industry, and it is fast
assuming its rightful position as the
and most profitable industry
OF the age. Business principles,
coupled with moderate capital, will
make fortunes for many in the dclv-
ing for precious metals.
