DAWN OF BETTER DAYS

urpr rsvsr was a Time in thu hltory Of aoldaeld, when The aoldaed
News went before the outside mining public with the confidence and
assurance a. in the present issue; for there has been a umuation OF
favorable developments h past week or two that convinces us hat III old
saying ..aodheld has hardly been scratched la more Of meaning ma ever
before
rnesed Developments CON t a time most oppotune. for there has been a
feeling Of depression throughout the camp he past month, owing to the closing
W. of leases and III consequent shrnxage in tonnage-facts which have been
ave too seriously by tn thoughtsss. The present is an occurrence If ne of
those ortuitous periods in aoldfeId's history that changes gloom into gladnes
in .rmosta an hour-times which cal be recalled in number by longtime reAdents

The development that proves that ore in place is TO be found within the
crater is mon the ground of the Talmage Gold Mining company, located o Vim
dlcator mountain This mountain is more like a bubble in almost the center
of What is called the crater. o the rim Of which. all the mines up o this the
have been found. This strike is not a mere 'hash', but enough work has been

Again. OF III Merger Mines estate to h east of the producing area, the

These strikes are important because they are on the outside Of what has H.

Altogether there never was such reason for courage and reneweda activity in
