mines from which to reap the re-
ouired metals. There has been in re-
cent years almost no money going in
to new mine development" says Lilly.
Two agencies of the government
now have men in the field trying to
find mines but they, Of course, want
to find producing mines and are not
interested in the prospects which have
been the starting point Of all mines.
I do not know when the government
is going to become realistic about the
situation and really do something to
stimulate prospecting and the develop
ment of new mines. Unless something
is done quickly we can lose this war
