There Plenty Of Laborsrs in the Rainy
Lake Country.
The Rainy Lake Journal, in response
to flood OF correspondence inquiring IA
TO what can be done there, the opportun-
tiles for business, homes or labor, says
that there IL no end OF openings for en-
tcrprising and energetic men. First OF
all, however, the one in whom they stand
in greatest need, il the man OF means,
who can furnish the capital 20 do the
work Of development OF the vast bodies
OF gold-bcaring ore already discovered.
Such men will find an excellent field there
for investment. Mining properties of
almost fabulous richness we have, but il
requires money TO develop them to n
paying basis. Unlike most mining sec
tions IL is believed there are no placers
here, nothing but quartz, 80 that the
man oi the pick and shovel stands no
show unaided by capital. Prospectors
and locators OF properties now discov-
cred are inclined to be reasonable in their
prices SO that capitalists need not be
afraid Go come here with view ofgetting
In on the ground floor at figures that
cannot fail giving good results ON all i'm
vestmepts. When capitalists do become
interested, az they must in the near
future, there will be no lack OF opportun-
itics for laboring classes of all kinds, but
as yet there il but little demand for
them, and il is only u waste OF time and
money for them Go come here now. The
supply OF carpenters and other mechan-
ics is equal TO the demand The field for
prospcctors is unsurpassed. A vast ex-
tent Of gold-bearing formation lies here
ready for such as chose to follow that
vocation. Unlike any other mineral
country known, the bulk OF the surface
Of the country il bare OF drift or any
other deposit-nothing but naked rock
exposed Most Of tho veins SO far have
been found at the waters edge ON islands
or mainland, and in some cases from
there followed in plain sight for miles. In
addition TO most extended shore line
OF the mainland, there are upwards of
IL 900 islands in Rainy lake alone, thor
ough prospecting OF which will take sew
cral years TO accomplish. Men who
desire to prospect, having means sulIi-
cicnt 20 outfit themselves, or who can
induce others TO "grub-stake" them, will
find no trouble in locating leads 10 their
entire satisfaction. There is nm excellent
opportunity up here for the fcrmer No
bottor field can be found for that pur-
pose anywhere thun exists right here.
The work OF development oi the mines
over IA wide stretch Of rocky and moun-
tainous country, unsuitable even Tor
market gardening around which mines
thriving little towns must spring up, will
make the rich alluvial lands of the Rainy
river valley veritabe mine OF wealth
10 the farmer who supplies these mining
camps and towns with the necessary
garden and farm products. Small fruits
oi all kinds thrive wonderfully here ia
the wild state and Of course the culti-
vatcd varieties should give handsome re-
turns 60 all who may care 10 engage in
fruit growing, while the rich md abund-
ant growth OF tame grasses that spring
up everywhere IL cultivated will make
this section n paradise for dairymen.
In summing up the questions as Co who
should come here, we would say that
there is plenty room here for men with
means, for business men, prospcctors.
for farmers but as yet IL ian poor field
for men who desire labor by the day,
and the latter should stay away from
here until capital IL interested and makes
public It's wants in that line"
