in Douglas that the story was no fake,
but that it was only partly told, for

the rich diggins, saw the shots fired
which resulted in the gold bullets hit

It is wonderful to contemplate upon
the marvels that time has brought
about; upon the changes that have oc-
Cured in so short space of time as a
Quarter of a century; of the progress
and advancement that has been made
of late in almost every line of industry
in almost every occupation and pursuit
Compared with the light, the advant-
ages and the opportunities we enjoy to-
day, our forefathers were almost in the
clark ages" fifty years ago, and con-
ditions that were impossible then are
so universally common now that but
little thought is given to the mighty
change that has taken place, and in no
other industry have these changed con-
ditions been more marked than in the
mining industry.
Twenty-Five years ago, in this west
ern country, hardly any of the metals
but silver and gold were looked for,
ard it is shorter period still since the
lead industry assumed any magnitude.
Twenty-Five years ago only the most
simple forms of ore reduction were in
use in this intermountain country, and
frce-milling ores only were treated,
while any attempt at lead smelling re-
suited in leaving more values
in the Stag than in the matte.
Twenty-Five years ago the pre-
sence of copper in silver-lead or gold
ores was decided detriment, and zinc
was rrohibitiye. Low-grade base gold
ores " ere valueless, and only the very
richest OF any character of ore could
pay freight and treatment charges and
still leave any profit 70 the owner.
Now everything Is changed and the
Improvement made, in mechanics, in
mine ;,ad MIL machinery, in methods of
ore tire atinent and reduction, has given
additional value to every class and
character Of ores, no matter how rich
or low grade they may be or how far
from market and transportation, and
the ole mine, long ago abandoned, be-
cause il could no be profitably worked,
is again bread-winner and bonanza,
ana the great dumps and tailings pits,
grass-covered and ugly-looking, can
now be made to disgorge their great
ssores CT mineral wealth.

experience, has also. snatched from the
Mining Industry many of it's undesirable
features. 1t is not as easy now tt

twenty-five years ago, and the, capital
list, the Investor, is deserving Of no pity
no sympathy, if he allows himself to be
robbed in mining deal in this enlight
ened age, and the way. is now open, Sc
clear, that the masses have an ever
chance with the select few in the ac
cumuiation of fortunes along the line!
of the mining industry, while the op
portunities are so numerous, the re

that the whole country is availing itsel

SUCCESS MARKS
FIRST SYMPHONY
CONCERT

Honolulu may well feel proud of the
symphony orchestra which had its OPP
ching concert at the Empire thcatcr
last night, and, in return, those who
are behind the orchestra and who have
worked early and late to organize it,l
may we'll feel satisfied that Honolulu
will support a worthy musical society.
An audience which left hardly a scat
untakcn filed the house. Manager
Magoon of the Honolulu Amusement
Company estimated for the Bu C..
tin that eight hundred persons were
present. and although large number
were school pupils. arrangements hav.
ing been made for special rate, the
receipts of the box office should go n
good way toward putting the society
on its financial feet.
Musically the organization deserves
support, and this can be said without
excuses. Director Miltner is to be con.
graduated upon last nights perform.
ance. OF course there we're flaws. and
there we're some disadvantages to ov.
orcome, but the point is that the di.
rector and the society have assembled
body of musicians who are intclli
gent. ambitious and capable. with
this groundwork the music.lovers Of
Honolulu may be assured that tho or
chcstra will grow and develop with
each rehearsal and each concert.
Basis is a Good One.
The opening concert displayed no
marked weakness In any direction and,
on the other hand, was delightful
surprise to many critics. The lack, II
any, lies in the fact that the orchestra
is still small, and the Interpretation of

times displayed n lack of responsive.
ness which probably Is nothing more
| than lack of volume. The wood-wind
| section is also restricted. But on the
whole the orchestra is an excellent ba
sis for development. That program
so ambitious as last nights could be
given with such success is guarantee
of the MANY enjoyable concerts In
store for Honolulu.
Prof. Carl Miltner proved himself an
excellent director. Physically he puts
an immense amount of energy into the
work, and yet he held enough in 70
