Every legitimate mine that is opened
means not only more money but more
employment for the industrious. It
means, also, more machinery and more
supplies of all kinds If Americans
would show the mining spirit of the
English, and not be so fearful of the
less of few dollars, very great good
would be the result, as then the pro
duction of our mines all the new
money would be kept at home, and
the native born would have some show
for labor The English comprehend
the value of mineral deposits, and reach
out to all quarters of the globe to Sc
cure them, while Americans, with vast
possessions, fail to value their riches
Let us hope that mining in America
will continue to expand; that the blood
of the business world may get warmed,
and that Colorado and every other of
our mining states may be favored with
a mining 'craze" of s40,O00,O00 year.
When cast my eye over the vast fields
Of wealth in the precious metals, as
possessed by Colorado, California New
ada and other mining states, wonder
Why the American people look upon
5he pursuit Of mining so lightly, when
oy little more activity, we would be-
come Independent of all Europe, if not
masters of the financial world.-A. B. |

The "grub-stake" has been promin-
ent factor in mining ever since the
'49ers made their grand rush in Califor-
mia, and it has lost none Of its efficacy
with the lapse of years. A good pros
pector and substantial grub-stake
form grand combination, and will
continue to do so as long as there
is gold in the mountains. There
is no better way to "dabble in mines"
than to outfit good miner and send
him out to some promising district with
the understanding that he is to have an
equal interest in any lodes that he may
discover. Many of the best mines in
the country have been discovered in
that way. Ability to discover a vein

The Spokane Chronicle of July 22nd
publishes the following:
Howard L. Weed has returned from
an extensive trip to Southern Ida no
He has formed big company for the
development of one of the greatest
mining camps in the west. The prop
critics are on South Mountain, Owyhee
county, twenty-five miles southwest OF
Silver City.
Some twenty years ago, Rawlston, the
San Francisco bank cashier, was at the
head of large company which operated
several mining camps in California,
Nevada and Idaho. South Mountain
was one of these. But in the fall of
mining stocks which followed the stock
speculations, Rawlston committed sui
eide and all his speculations ceased.
Mr.. Weed said
Il found this old company had built
smelter which operated about year
and half and took out between one
and half and two million dollars from
the properties. A time after the com
Pany abandoned the property, all the
claims were relocated by different in
dividuals.
"a railroad is now being built which
will be fifty miles long, running from
Nampa to Silver City and known as the
Owyhee railroad. This road will be
completed next year. After leaving
Silver City it will turn to the south
west on its way to Southern Oregon, |
and will pass within seven or eight |
miles from the South Mountain camp. !
The ultimate destination of the road isl
the Pacific ocean.
"The mining claims had hardly been
touched by the old company, so large
are they. The main ledge is so large
that it would be called a dixie rather
than a vein. tits 100 feet wide run
ming east and west, pitching to the
south. The walls are sehist filing be-
tween the ore chutes with calcite and
dolerite. The ores consist of galena
and carbonates and produce a value
that averages at least 500 in lead and
silver at the present prices.
SIN some instances the old company
took nearly half million dollars out of
one body.
Golfers have been made FOR number
of the single relocated claims of this
company which run from $4,000 to
$4,000 each.
''Our new company, of which 1 am to
be manager, got these owners together t
and they all took stock in the company t
for their properties. They have given e
over the deeds. A fifth of the entire c
stock has been set aside for develop f
nent work. b
"One long tunnel, 1000 feet in length, S
will be run throughout the entire s
ength of the properties and will have il
IN average depth of GOO feet. 1t is a n
magnificent tunnel site. This tunnel e
will cut fifteen or twenty ore shoots r,
which crop out on the surface and n
Which have given me the average assay a
# 500. Another tunnel on different O
portion of the property will be contin- b
led and has already been run 100 feet
nd within fifty feet more viii tap an al
immense ore body. "
"The company own sixteen mining d,
roperties besides the town site and cc
'ater rights with 200 miners inches of re
'ater. A railroad spur can be put in
very light cost. Because it is
lver-lead property the tonnage will be
reater than all the other properties of
nat vicinity, combined. &c
"We will begin work very soon," m'
