Eastera Capital.
In the FIRST place Eastern capital was
necessary for an enterprise OF such mag
nisude as the Nsnse cr.Sfo. Many thou
sands OF dollars were required IN the pur-
chase OF The mines. This was \ cash trans
action. ard TIE 5rox2eetors and miners
Of Washington were benefited by H.
In TIE second place wagon roads had TO
be constructed TO gs. In mining machinery
and suppiiea- This gave employment 70
men ana teams Then began the work OF
mins development. giving employ ment 20
a large force OF experienced men This
created che camp OF Monte cristo. the
first real live mining camp on the western
slope OF the Cascades.
Finally the prospects were developed
Into mines. and. railroads being necessary
10 transport ths ores these mines were
turning cut IA such abundance, a railroad
was soon under construction and Ia opera
fion- This involved a further outlay OF
nearly 8. GO. 0oa. This railroad construction
gave employment 10 hundreds Of men and
teams ard was instrumental IN bringing
ready cash 20 this state al a time, TOO.
Then financial panic was upon the
country.
Al a moderate estimate the Monte Cristo
management have expended IN their min
ing operations on the western slope OF
the CASCADES range not less than s.. sep.ooe.
and ali this vast amount of money has
been pat IN circulation.
With It's mines. IS railroads. and It's re-
duetloa works. the Monte CFisio company
gives employment directly and Indirectly
20 CO people and their monthly pay ron
goes up into the thousands And more than
sii. the Monte Cristo company had the
nerve and courage 20 stand By It's own
mialng proposition until X had demon
strated 70 lis OWE satisfaction that mines
located in the Cascades go down deep. that
ths ore bodies are large and permanent
and that the ere Is rich ard can be worked
az profit.
In fact they have demonstrated that
there Is no richer or greater mining region
in the world thar the Cascade n,ounta aims,
from the Columbia river or the south 70
the British possessions on the north. And
this they have done In the face OF strong
local prejudice ard IN spite or local o2-
position.
