THE BLUE CLASSES ARE GONE
wonderful change in sentiment has occurred among residents
of the dAene district the last go days And this change
in sentiment reflected business conditions Doubt has given
way hope optimism has taken the place OF pessmsm Conf

no industry dependent confidence than mining Con-
sequeny when there Of confidence there cessation Of
mining 1t necessarily follows that of all miners the
hopeful Disbursements and delays that would appa the
enthusiastic manufacturer leave scarcely momenary reco

sariy follows that when money md about entering into
increasing old investment the sinews Of war are
denied the pospector For the past two the mining indus
try has been apered lack Of capital develop prospects,
At times the future looked too bright This has been
perssenty optimistic said mulshy SOL But were
ever beyond present We have and those who
eered climbing the band It is as hard now
to find who is predicting great things for the Occur
dAenes during 1910 and 1911 it few months to find
one could anything but disaster ahead But through the
years disbursement the actual miner the man who digs and
delves stuck manuly his task. How of these noble
spirits raised be known but they got and
to compensate for being compelled work with fewer than
usual they worked douby hard In the to they will
be repaid this it is nothing less than herosm
No greater illustration of the advantages of development by
given than retrospect of the past two

Occasionally where man was carrying big proportion in
single company he compelled dispose of of his
shares but his smaller holdings made valuable by the
done than his former holdings Of large quantity in idle
property.

1908 This year it will show heavy gain And by
year the Occur Aenes proportion of the worlds output will
increase Nowhere lead mines being opened. The
