these well known and experienced
mining men seems to be OF the eve of

the very near future.
The city of Laramie. sitting on her
plain as grandly as a queen OF her
throne. holds the golden key that is to
unlock the great riches of the country
surrounding and become the great sup
ply point for all the mines within an
area of several hundred miles. 1t is
the nearest, surest and safest point
from which to reach the noted mining

industry will astonish and electrify the

Mining.
During the last few months. great
progress has been made with relation
t. the n and method of develop
ing mineral and conducting
the business of mining. The industry
has been placed on a legitimate basis,
and today it offers as inviting a field for
the effort of practical business men as
is presented in any department of in
dustrial life. Unlike other industrial
enterprises, the mining interest can
not be affected by competition and ov
er-stocked markets. neither can it b
Influenced by changing necessities or
changing conditions. Reference to the
financial records Of the country brings
out the striking fact that fewer failures
have been reported in mining than in
banking or manufacturing. and the
statement can be substantiated by well
attested figures that nor than seven
times the value is produced by each
man actually engaged in mining than
the average production OF each man
engaged in all other vocations in life.
There is plenty of evidence that gold
mining will occupy in the near future,
a more conspicuous position in Wyo-
ming than in times past, as the field
that it offers to those wishing to in
vest their money in a paying venture
will undoubtedly be attracted to this
state by the undisputable fact that
Wyoming today offers better induce
ments to the capitalists than any other
state in the Union.
