| Las Vegas, NJ NJ, Sept 13.-Your
correspondent called on Prof. Frank c.
Smith to get his opinion regarding the
general outlook In the territory. and
especially in the vicinity of Las Vegas
Professor Smith Is one of the leading
mining experts in the United States
and came out here to look at some
properties. In answer to inquiry as t.
what he thought of the outlook in this
vicinity, he said;
We'll there has been practically nc
development. but the outlook Is very
satisfactory. The formation of ore is
