Mining in the Olympics.

Interest continues undated in min
ing in this section; many men are
prospecting the hills who have here
tofore secuted the possibility pf ore
being found in paying quantities on
the penihsular. There are still lots of
doubling Thomases, which seems to
us rather peculiar, by reason of the
fact that everyone who goes out finds
rock carrying more or less Of the.-pre-
cious metals, and it is sure that these
surface Indications are not all-there is,
says the Olympic Miner. The testi-
mony of practical miners, too, is all TO
the effect that gold is there in abun-
dence. 1t is quite general impress
sion, however, that the rich ore, lies
deep; we are all of this belief, too, and
we. also think that the mineral produc-
ling area is practically limitless. That
no one portion of the peninsular is
particularly favored is shown by the
similarity of results of preliminary
prospecting. On the Docewallips, near
Brinnon; at the top of the mountain,
near Qdilcene; along the rivers of the
extreme west; in the Lapush and Quik
layute sections on and near the Elwha
contiguous to Port Angeles; in the
country adjacent to Port Townsend
at all these widely-separated places
rock has been found of almost exactly
similar formation and assays of sur
face indications have shown about the
same value. Also, at any of these
points where development work has
gone forward, it has been shown thai
the deeper the went the more valu.
able the ore became. Just where the
main vein,'Jf lied, of pay ore will first
be discovered is impossible to say, but
we thoroughly do believe that time
! will show our mineral belt to extend
throughout the length and breadth oil
the Peninsula, and that the ore will be
quite richiu. The, proof of all this will
come out inside of thirty days.-Ledg

SOME people seem to have but little
appreciation of the work of getting
out newspaper, nor how easy it is to
make a mistake, and overlook it.
Every letter has to be picked up and
put in it's place one at a time, and if
by chance type gets into the wrong
box, goes into a stick and is overlook
ed, it sometimes makes a great differ
ence. For instance: :. A careless news
paper man few counties north of us,
noting the signs of spring, among
other evidences noted the bicycle rid
ers, and mentioned that Miss Jones
looked cute on her wheel, in her short
skirt. In some way an "h" had got
ten into the "k" box and the typo got
an oh" instead of ok" and the proof
reader was blind. The poor innocent
editor lost fifteen subscribers in less
than twenty minutes after the paper
was issued. The woman said it was

to pay him for property destroyed by
