The belief held by a large number
OF eastern business men. that most of
the good mining propositions of the
west are controlled by the mining
kings, and that there is no opportunity
for man with a moderate capital is
! entirely wrong. The fact is that The
| man with brains and small capital
has a better chance in mining than
ever before. 1t is true the heavy diVi-
dend payers are under control OF
lnoneyed syndicates, but there are
properties that promise just as much
| which may be had at figures from
$1,000 up. Thousands of these are now
idle, only wanting a little development
money and enterprise to make them
very productive. The money kings do
not own one-half the good properties
and there is a better chance than ever
before for the investment of small capt.

Copper Mountain mines are that after
striking five feet of ore the latter
part of last July, a cross-cut was run
through sixty feet of mineral bearing
ground and a second ore chute was
struck which is without question, the
main ledge of Copper mountain. Work
1ngs are already eleven feet in on this
ore body, with good ore still in the
face Two-thirds of this ore is solid
yellow sulphide of copper carrying
gold and is fine, clear sulphide from
twenty-five to thirty per cent copper.
This is the lowest point attained in
Copper mountain, and shows that all
that is required is depth to prove the
still greater value of the property
A double-compartment perpendicular
shaft was started Saturday on which
will be placed a 22-horse power gaso-
line hosting plant which has lust

The mine that produced the most
gold Of any in all the world, during
last August is the Lake View Consols.
in West Australia. Its output is re-
ported at 91,305 ounces, having a value
of $500. 600 That is a record breaker.
The next to it is the Simmer and Jack,
Of South Africa, with %, 400 ounces.
The enormous increase in the yield of
western Australians gold mines is the
marked feature in mining of the pres
ent day. In January, 1897, its total
gold production was 5000 ounces; in
August, 1899, it was 1872 ESQ ounces, and
that was from the British-owned mines
only. With its immense area, com
paratively unexplored, it is quite pos
sible that western Australia will soon
be as great a gold producer as the
Transvaal in South Africa.-Los An
geles Mining Review.
