lous. Suppose an old mill is sold with
the intention of substituting a new,
modern one. Ths owners would be

A party of railroad officials and min
ing men, including Manager Dicken-
son of the Union Pacific, Managing
Officer of the Pennsylvania Smelter,
and George FL. Robinson, recently
made trip through the Deep Creek
country, examining all the prominent
mines and prospects. The lining
men of the party were deeply i'm
pressed by the abundant evidences of
great mineral resources, but Mr.. Dick
inson was disappointed at the extent of
the development work. The mine
owners of that region have had no en-
couragement to develop their proper
ties, but the surface showings are such
as to Justify the belief that railr DAD
would stimulate heavy product.
