An Opportunity and a Duty

There is active and increasing inquiry among mining
for good mining propositions the southwest The
closing Of the European export markets and the general
tying up Of shipping resulting in short receipts even
from regions not in the zones, have stimulated
interest IN American metal and mineral resources This
IS reflected in FL Paso, many mining men and metal
having written here visited this section looking
for desirable mines or prospects
"The EI Paso Southwest" has a great variety of
metal resources This region has been indifferenty
prospected. It contains Of the greatest mines in
the world and yet there vast Of known min
eralized territory which have been scarcely scratched
with the pick
FL Paso claims, and justly, to be a mining center,
although there few important producing mines in
the vicinity and although little FL Paso capital
Is engaged in mining. This city is largely dependent

It's commercial and financial importance.
This being true, it is E. Paso's duty to do more
for the development of mining than she has
up to The city is in position to lend large
financial support mine development, but there
much that 90, much that is within our power
and our resources.
This city should have a thoroughly organized mine
bureau which should at least keep comprehensive records
Of southwestern mines, and should keep close tab on
all reported favorable prospects, and all undeveloped
and promising districts.
It ought to be possible for any mining man metal
user to to FL Paso direct for all necessary nfora
ton to get in touch with the progress of the industry
IN the southwest and with the promising prospects and
rich undeveloped regions

The most imposed upon water is the
Chicago river, which was turned

There will be aftermath of i'll feeling against the

Above all, It is the time to quit tTiflng. The United
