MONEY NOT MILLS
Plenty Of Custom Mills but Financial

ther. are enough custom mills In the dis
tr,ct to keen pace with the amount of ship
ming ore taken from the mines; also II
enough of water is available to run them.
To the latter question your correspondent
can answer in the affirmative. Enough
water is now In sight to run from 200 to 300
stamps. but, as to the necessity for more
custom mills the answer must be IN the
negative. There are now more custom mills
in the district than can be Kept running
steadily, and 1t will be some time before
their maximum capacity Will be taxed. But
what the district wants. and wants badly,
Is men with a speculative spirit and few
thousand dollars who will come here and
take hold of some of the low-grade mines
and open them up to such an extent as
will Justify them In going deeper into their
pockets and extracting therefrom money
