THE LOCAL POOL A GOOD THING.

1t must have been observed thai
there is a great falling of in the
organization Of mining compani- 9
These would seem to be the cause OF
the apparent slackening in mining.
OF course the causes for this lack
of interest would be many. A num-
Der failed in the realization of ex-
pectations, and investors are sow
about going into any new enterprise
however favorable may be the out
come. This leaves the mines, the
many new locations and the old, in
practically first hands or those who
have gained possession of the best
or more promising. In a district like
Central, where nearly every good
property is known by the resident
may not be expected, at least fer
loss Of opportunity to wait and hope
lat, Micawber-like, something may
:iln up to make things Hore active
m business sense.
the situation. With a knowledge of
what is to be gained by the effort,
there is great activity shown in a
local way. Not to feel that there is
something worth while in the many
good mines is to discredit them. OF
late it has been shown that the peo-
pie are fully alive to conditions and
by system that is original and
worthy of great returns, many have
organized to work the better known
properties. In the past too much had
been depended en- outside aid. That
is, many big companies were expect
ed to do all and everything in main
tanning or sustaining every town in
the district. This has been srspend-
ed to considerable extent, which
leaves those. with faith in the mines
to take hand. They are doing it.,
and late reports are confirming their
judgment.
These local pools. organized among
the owners of properties, is certain
t. work out Satisfactorily in nine
cases out of ten If good judgment is
shown. 1t is helpful. far more SO
than in the dependence Oh outside
aid. All the benefits are to be retain
ed among those in the undertaking.
1t shows the faith that is in the
residents. and knowing the ground
better than most, they should con-
vince others by their acts that own
ers o: properties have abiding faith
in what they possess. In proof Of
which they are epending their own
money and theirs will be all the
gain.
