The year to come will unfold those pos

Let US all hail the coming Of the new
year.
The first year Of the new century has
dealt more than kindly with Boulders
mining industries. Never in the history
Of the state have the mines Of this dis
trict been 30 carefully and 80 thoroughly
exploited as during the year just past.
The result has been very noticeable,
both 10 the increased production Of the
precious metals and in the present we'll.

the mines that have brought about this
unusual activity.
From the best sources OF inform ltion
it is estimated that the total productie n
Of minerals for The county this year will
reach the sum Of to,So,o. OF this entire
sum. the value OF silver extracted will
reach not more than tI78 .92o-just 4
trifle less than "a per cent There are
very lev silver producing claims in the
county a, present. Most of the gold ore
carries silver values and this compare
lively unimportant feature goes to make
up in the sum total very respectable

value. however. is the product OF the
yellow metal. which will for the past year
amour, to no, less than S7oo.7oo The
scattered districts. which produce copper
and volframite. will complete the sum

but little effect on the entire sum. These
figures indicate an increase for the year

seats an outlay of almost 100000. Work
