GOOD SPRINGS
Virtues of the Yellow Pine
District
Especial correspondence

James keneally of the Double Up
mine has gone to Ivanpah, where he
has some men at work. and will return
in a few days. Assessment work is
progressing on the mines he has in this
district with very satisfactory showing.
wonder why il is that people seek
ing investments will persistently flock
to a camp that is doomed, where any
kind OF a prospect sells for fabulous
sum and figure entirely in excess OF
its value. Why don't they stop and use
a little brain force; but what is the use
trying to show them where they can do
as well, or better? Time is the only
thing that will convince or demonstrate
to the public when they haze made a
wise or aH unwise choice. The old say
ing that "a Scotchman convinced
against his will is of the same opinion
still" is as true as can be, and though
uttered many years ago the author no
doubt saw the stumbling blocks in the
pathway of the men who sought safe
investments and who would return to
their stockholders reasonable interest
or profit. Your correspondent knows
his small sphere and his inability to
place the advantages of this district
properly before the investor, but the
time will come when a Moses will lead
the financial children OF this country,
not out of the wilderness, but from
land of promise into the promised land.
Eastern capitalists, mining men OF
experience, have just bought the Potosl,
which fact should be enough to show
that moneyed men are finding out the
worth of yellow Pine. We might say
more, but word is sufficient to the
wise, and those who seek wisdom will
consult with those capable of imparting
wisdom.
The Columbia property is looking
fine and the Kent property is also look
ing promising.
Glad to hear of the improvement in
the health of Capt. Jim Wilson and
that he has returned to the ranch.
Mr. Andrews, of the Hoosier, is busy

another shipment OF the high grade ore
produced by that mine.

The people here will welcome her in
manner appropriate to the return OF

Mrs Yount She has no enemies, but is
loved by all.
The snow which fell on Dec. 3lst Is
still with US. How hard the old year
died; but dead you are, old friend, 30
loosen up and let us get good square
look at your successor.

Sandy this week en- route to Gene.
Well every one likes John, and as he

him go away. The days are too short
when John comes to town. Would like
