 The surveyor general of Colorado states that 1900 IS almost certain to prove the greatest and most pros- porous year in the history of the state. This prophetic declaration is based upon the fact that the busi- ness of his office IS becoming heavier all the time, indicating that pres poets are being rapidly converted into mines, and the locators are talk ing out their patents. The spirit is not confined to any one locality but extends all over the state. Nor is there any color of boom in these efforts to secure indisputable titles. In nearly all instances the patentees are developing theIr claims, pushing work and preparing to ship ore. The Record IS strongly inclined to sup port the views of the surveyor gen eral, because its correspondence and business office fully attest their ac- curscy.-Mining Record.
