of the new enterprise are the Hard wick Bros of this place and F.. J. Hart of Pasadena, all practiced miners These gentlemen have spent several months testing in every form the char acteristics of the various ores in the surrounding districts. and the infOrma- tion gained thereby warrants them to proceed with every assurance of sue cess.
 They have acquired the assaying and metallurgical laboratory of F.. F. Cannon of Parker for immediate use, pending the installation of a more complete plant at some more convent ent place at or near the bridge on the river.
 Negotiations for ore are now being made. and already options have been secured on several lots from the sur rounding districts. Miners generally are enthused over the prospects of getting their ore shipped. and many are now preparing to start active and continuous development on their prop critics with the hope of being steady contributors to the sampler.
 A B. Hardwick. who will be the metallurgist for the sampler. is a grad uate of the Department of Mines of Washington State college. He is a practical miner and is well acquainted with the mines of this section, as are also his brother. Thomas J. and Mir. Hart The ability. honesty and integ- rity of each cannot be questioned, and, .t,;- fg. D hrtEinnes proposition that is up to the miners.
 Shipping receipts are worth more to possible ivestor than ore on the dump and in the ground. We have far too much ore of the value ranging from $40 to S1OO piled up on the dumps. Ship it, preserve your smelter receipts and put the returns into cir culation.
 If the prospectors will nov get in and dig and ship. the result will be that there will be some profitable sales before the first of the coming year and this will be a prosperous place from this date on.
 Rather Pessimistic.
