MINING OUTLOOK GOOD
AROUND HINSDALE COUNTY

Lake City Silver World:
There will be not less than three
mills in operation between town and
Lake Shore by the first of next Sep
tember unless promises that have been
made fail of fulfillment. and all will
probably do custom work. Nell, all
we can promise in return is that with
proper inducements there is an abun-
dance of excellent milling ore in con-
tiguous mining areas TO supply this
number of mills for ages TO come.
And there will be plenty with which
10 supply other mills in addition. A
few days spent in examination and a
few tests will satisfy any practical
mining man that we know what We
are talking about. And a most at
tractive feature just at this time Is
that the large bulk of the values are
in gold and silver.
