Don't lend to farmers unless they are
growing at least enough food products for
home consumption.
Such is the movement the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce is starting; to ev-
cry banker, to every merchant the appeal
is being made; and economically sound at
any time, its importance now is acute.
How Wisconsin bankers developed
thin and Improbable soil to rich dividends
by refusing loans unless a certain number
of cattle were kept, has already been dis
cussed in this column. But for this finan-
cial leadership, Wisconsin would today be
as undeveloped, as this region, infinitely
richer in resources to begin with.
No profound student is needed to show
why West Florida can never be prosperous
as long as it sends thousands and hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the north and
west for meat, grain butter and milk. 1t
must be self supporting.
By a campaign of education, by refusing
loans to the inefficient, the bankers and
merchants can eliminate the non-produc-
ers, the economic drones, the men who at
best are barely able to pay the interest on
mortgages, to whom development is grim
impossibility.

Success Has Large Body of Ore on the
|l4OO Level Strike of Great Importance

From unofficial sources. but which
are nevertheless reliable. the Miner is
justified in stating that the recent ore
disclosures on the 1400 level of the
Success mine are equal and probably
better than any ore showing that has
been developed in the mine. Reports
of an important strike have been per-
sistent for the past two weeks or
more, and while the management has
admitted that some ore was being
encountered and that the showing was
most encouraging and decidedly bet
ter than in levels above. no further
confirmation of the reported strike
could be obtained. The management
is still reticent on the subject. but
states that there will be meeting of
the directors of the company in this
city Saturday evening, when 1t is
probable that an authorized statement
will be made covering the condition of
the mine and the affairs of the COM
pany.

The report of the treasurer showed
the company free from debt with a

In Pine Creek Belt.
The property of the Tiberius Min
ing company is situated on one of the
leads within the, Pine creek mineral
belt, about a mile and half from
the main forks of the creek. on Ross
gulch 1t consists of two patented
claims and several unpatented. The
,outcrop shows the usual characters
tics of mineral bearing veins of that
section, and the limited amount of
work justifies the expectation of find
ing a body of commercial ore with
further depth The vein has been in
tersected by a crosscut, from which a
drift has been run lis feet. disclosing
a continuous ore shoot from to "a

be unusually free from iron. More OF

and is the fun width of the drift. How
much wider is now being determined
by a crosscut The ore will average
as good as the best in the mine, and
the conditions surrounding its occur
renee are more favorable for a large
and permanent ore body than in the
upper workings. Contrary to current
report there is no apparent Increase
In the amount of lead. The opinion
is freely expressed that Success is
now entering upon u new lease of life,
and that deep development will dis
close greater and more dependable
ore bodies than We're found in the up
per workings. 1t is expected that
prosecuting to the ore will soon start
on the 1900 level. where the station
and skip pocket are about completed,
II should be borne in mind that the
1900 level means only 500 feet below
the main working tunnel.

Between Five and SixFeet of Ore in Doug
las Shaft, Said to be Best Ore in the Mine

The Douglas mine has been unwa-
tered and in cutting a station at the
bottom of the shaft preparatory to
extensive exploration work the vein
was cut showing body of ore be-
tween 5 and feet wide. the best ore
that has been found in the property.
That is the information brought di-
rect from the mine Monday The
shaft was sunk by former operators
from the main tunnel short distance
from the portal and is down about
$50 feet. The Anaconda company,
which has the Douglas under bond
and lease. is evidently crowding pro-
duction to the limit in order to utilize
the snow road to the best advantage,
for when the snow road disappears
there will be great difficulty in haul
ing heavy loads and it is not likely
that the present rate of shipments
can be maintained. and it has long
been accepted that Pine creek can
expect no assistance in the way of

road improvements from the county
commissioners.
Five 4-horse teams hauling from 7
to s tons at a load and four 2-horse
teams hauling tons at a load are
now employed by the Anaconda COM
pany delivering ore from the Doug
las to the railroad. This means the
shipment CT carload of so tons
every day. A cart containing $4,000
feet of lumber was expected to arrive
Monday for delivery at the Douglas
by the ore teams on the return trips
What this lumber is to be used for
was not learned
Under the terms of the bond. the
Anaconda company is required to
make the first payment for the Doug
las on the 18th of this month. The
payment is 100000 and the splendid
showing that has been developed on
the property is the best evidence that
payment will be made as scheduled.

merly with the Stewart, and is devel-
oping the group that was years ago
known as the Gettysburg. about a
mile and half from Mullan. up Mill
creek. While no definite information
is obtainable, it is common belief that
some very interesting disclosures have
been made in the property which has
now been under steady development
for several years. 1t is believed that
both the You Like and Morning veins
pass through the Independence
ground Although the main tunnel of
the Independence is not at high
altitude, Mr.. Morrison says there IL
feet of snow on the dump. When
this disappears. which should be in
the next few weeks, it is announced
that the company will install a COM
