UNEMPLOYED MINERS
BECOMING MINE LEASERS

ut is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good Since jobs are hard to get the
miners have turned their energies to leas-
ing. Leases that went begging six months
ago are eagerly snapped up today. This
feature of the present times is particu-
larry noticeable in gold camps. Cripple
Creek being probably the most popular
because of the high grade of the ores
and the facilities for marketing them, says
Mining Science of Denver.
The same news is coming in from all
gold districts however, and high-grade sill
yer camps are a close second in demand.
Austin, New, is mentioned among others
of the latter class. Even in camps that
produce those metals most injured by the
slump there is an unprecedented demand
for leases. This is especially observable in
the Missouri Kansas zinc-lead mines, i'm
the copper mines at Butte and In the
iead-copper-silver mines at Tintic, Utah.
The recuperatiYe power of the mining
industry is somewhat remarkable. When
things 20 wrong in one quarter the miner
cheerfuily shifts his energies to another
and steadily FORCES ahead.
