aroused a great deal of interest
in that city. The point brought
out in the editorial was that Pr
oche was now exciting wide
spread attention in the mining
world; that people were coming
in from all directions "eager to
get some of it while it is to be
had for a reasonable price," but
that so far none had been an
nounced from Los Angeles.
The first return to come to our
attention was an editorial in the
American Mining Review. the
able mining weekly of that city,
edited by Sidney Norman, under
the caption LAS Others See Us, "
Mr.. Norman said, James w.
Abbott, the well-known mining
engineer, whose experience has
taken him to all mining camps of
prominence in the country, and
who now makes his headquarters
at Phoebe, in the Phoebe Record
last week tells some pertinent
truths about Los Angeles. 1t
would be we'll if every man in
terested in the future of the city
could read them. Mr.. Abbott
made the most interesting adj
dress on mining before the City
Club last spring-an address that
will live for a long time as the
most scholarly ever delivered on
the subject in this subject in this
city," Mr.. Norman then re-
produced most of the editorial.
The Sunday issue of the Los
Angeles Times, dated December
18th, contains an editorial de-
voted to some questions which
Mr.. Abbott has brought out in
his writings, which it says ICON
tain food for study" We quote
a few lines from the editorial.

camp today as ever is conceded,

While we are on the subject, too
it is well to call attention to an
other subject, viz, the greater
interest that Salt Lake miner;
are taking in Phoebe and vicinity
as compared with Angelinos
Mr.. Abbott has written that thu
sanp is thronged with men from
the Mormon capital for weeks
and not one visitor from Lo:
