| For the first time in the history OF
Los Angeles Its four leading daily
papers are all giving material space
and intelligent treatment to the mining
! news of the great southwest. The
friends of the industry will welcome
the innovation with open arms and will
at the same time continue to wonder
why the subject has been SO long ta-
booed in the columns OF at least two
powerful disseminators of news. The
Los Angeles Times is entitled to full
credit for the broad-minded position 1t
has maintained, through good times and
bad, in the past few years, and 1t
would be a serious blow to the industry
II any radical change were made In tho
present policy. The Herald, which has
come to the front in more ways than
one in the past year. has now secured
the services of a reliable mining writer.
while the Examiner has broken down
its bars and is now publishing interest
ing daily news.
1t Is the opinion of the Mining Re-
view that the greatest amount of bene-
fit can be derived by connecting up"
Los Angeles to the industry. For that
reason 1t believes that locally colored
items are the most acceptable to read
ers interested in the industry and that
they will accomplish the greatest
I
cerely to be hoped that the present con-
ditions will prove to be no fash in the
pan. IT should be remembered, how
ever. that this Is the season of the AN
nual special number" and mining men
who purpose supporting these philan-
thropic efforts can accomplish some
thing worth while by ascertaining IL
the mining industry is to receive SINH
lar notice when the necessity for pro-
viding special spur to the annual adver-
tiser has passed. Newspapers usually
print what their readers demand, and 1t
is possible to bring greater influence
to bear at this time OF the year than
at any other. Special numbers are we'll
in their way, but daily Items of interest
accomplish a vastly greater amount OF
good for the mining industry, as for
every other.-Los Angeles Mining Re-
view.
The Review also calls attention to
an item In The Herald telling of the
purchase of homes in Los Angeles by
L. S. Barnes and G. r. Harris of
Colorado and Miguel Late of Mexico,
the total investment aggregating $4S,-
500.
The Herald fully realizes the import
ance of the mining industry and be-
lieves that Los Angeles because of Its
geographical location and its manifold
advantages should become not alone
the home of the mining men Dut the
trading center OF the vast mineralized
sections OF Southern California and
Nevada, all of Arizona and the west
coast of Mexico That business, which
amounts to more than a million dollars
yearly In supplies and machinery, can
be had, but not without effort.
With the centering of the mining in
terests of the southwest in Los An
geles will come the Investment here OF

lions.
If the mining men of Los Angeles
and the tributary country will support
the newspapers the papers will do all
in their power to advance legitimate
mining interests.
