We can all guess but you know
what guessing means AID should
not give 1t as facts.
Many a person OF this late day do
not know the actual cause Of the
panic OF '93. The usual answer is
the change IN price Of silver" This
perhaps is true but do YOU not think
1t was the closing of all the mines
at one time, thereby stopping the
elements OF industry and the closing
of the mines at the present time
time would have the same effect.
The mines keep up the industry
and manufacturing and being stages
OF exchange make the raw material
more valuable. But the raw mater
ial must first be obtained.
The Prospector should be the
most loyal to the industry, as he
plows the first burrows for it's pro-
ducts.
As vet Colorado has been partly
walked over but very little prospect
ed. In many parts of Colorado ore
is lying on top Of the glound await
ing some one TO take it UP and claim
it. Prospectors who walked over
the ground years ago can now start
over again owing to the improve
ments IN ore treatment, ~ ores that
could not be worked years ago on
account of their low grade can now
be made to pay millions in dividends
and metals that were entirely lost
then can now be saved and market
ed. The more modern way enables
a prospector to make mines. In
stead OF the old way Of being on
grub stake he now calls on his east
srn friends. for assistance, incorpor-
ites a company, sells stock and there
by obtains the necessary capital. To
properly develope his property and /
make a mine at much shorter per-
od at the present day we find there
Ire mines runnlng but two or three
iollars and Yet declaring millions

heard of mill that treats ore al
