The mining industry of Southern

The mining industry Of Southern
Oregon has reached a stage of dignity
which com mands the silence of the
majority of the army CT knockers"
and pessimists. Some few voices are
yet raised in croaking chorus but they
are the voices of those who have the
knocking" habit too firmly fixed for
recovery. They will croak till they
die. But the doubters and the timid
ones are at last assured that this is
and is to be great mining country
and hopeful and cheerful spirit is
becoming more general.
