MINE DEVELOPERS
 A NATIONAL ASSET

Mining can never be entirely diverted of the speculative ele- ment. Metale values fluctuate Ore bodies are exhausted or oveFeStimated. Metal recov- cries are dependent on human ingenuity and watchful1ess, that may sometimes sleep on the job. Enthusiasm may lead to extravaganza or the ore may not justify big investments, says the Wallace (Id.) Press Times Mining Review.
 But there is just about as much of gamble in farming or in business as there is in honest and scientific mining. Mine developers are generally men of broad vision, energy and initiative. They have left their mark on this country from east to west.
 The metal mining industry is an asset to any state. Develop ment of this natural resource should be carried on along intelligent and progressive lines, with full encouragement by both state and national gov crnments. Modern mining and milling methods are adding to the opportunities for old and rev developments in many western states, with resulting benefits to the country.
