Sailing Mlnr. with Poor ORE.

Il Is a singular fact that not only have
poor mines been salted with rich ore, but
rich mines have been very frequently saited
with poor. The circumstances under which
such an apparent paradox would take place
are these: Explorations are being made in
some part II mine and vein OF very rich
mineral is suddenly uncovered. II the super
intsndent has salt and darkness in his soul he
is very apt 70 take pick, dig out little OF
the ore and fill the cavity with low grade
stuff from some other part Of the mine Then
he makes diseouraging report, apparently
verified by facts, and in due course Of time
proposes 20 lease the property for song II
be is successful the vein is not long ia being
rediscoyerei. This trick has been played
time and again all over the st2te, and in
instances the ssIlter has gone 80 far as to "ac-
cidentallyn blow up a tunnel in which rich
find was made. Perhaps some poor wretch
of a miner would be caught in the awful sub
terranean crash that shook the bowels OF the
earth and buried forever beneath tons OF
rocky debris, but such an episode as that
never disturbs the even tenor Of true sell.
