In their opinion. many properties are too far removed from the acknowledged center of pro ducing properties to offer any fancy inducemment for capital and it's op- erations Most of the party will re- main several days, and the impress ions they carry home with them will have an important bearing on the flu ture success of the district They should therefore be afforted every possibility to gather all the favora- ble facts in regard to the Big Warren copper belt We know we have the goods and we should see that these men have an opportunity to Inspect them.
