Mining Is Growing,

The increased Importance TO the country
OF mining for the precious metals. caused
by the so-cailed revival Of the past few
years is not appreciated probably even by
the miners themselves. That there has
been an increased activity is shown 10 the
public mainly by the increased output in
value of the minerals. Yet this is no
gauge OF the growth Of The business. This
increase has come largely from greater
activity in old mines. partly through the
introduction OF capital and from the many
small mines which have been opened The
large mines upon which considerable de-
veiopment work must be done have not
been heard from. This is true Of nearly
every district in the west The new dis
tricts all over the west have added little
to the output, and most OF their yield has
come from small mines With the intro
tiuction of capital. which takes time. these
VIII Increase their yield very largely 1t
may he said that more money Is being put
into the industry than is being taken out
of the mines. but most Of this IS for ma
chinery or development work which viii

two or three years ago. the Akaiwa col

about 41Hs tons annually, OF which go

Hckkaido has been increasing at the rate
OF between ~ and 80 par cent. during the
