Dela mar sold his copper mine, equipped with smelting plant, located 25 miles from Redding, California, for 52,240,000. This same titled civilian came to the Sil ver City minion district hi Owyhee county, this state, about 13 years ago, with Individual assets not exceeding $12,000, and immediately began opening tip the now famous gold mine hearing his name, which he subsequently transferred to an English syndicate for over $2,000, 000. bailing in the modest effort to be come the Idaho commissioner for the i8oj world's fair, the Incensed and pride-beaten captain bid adieu to Idaho and her people, malting headquarters In Salt l.ahe, and from Utah's capital city directed exten sive mining operations in several states. The Delamar gold mine and town of same name are the creations of Ills rest less ambition, while the Golden Gate mine at Mercur, Utah, pay sinllar compli ment to this modern Monte Cristo.

The big mine owners of the Coeur d'Aleues l-'lnch Campbell, Larson, Sweeney, Greenough are millionaires, and may be considered the builders of Spokane. Even Col. Woods, the sheep king of southeastern Idaho, owes his successful livestock venture to money received from the sale of a mine. The mining industry of Idaho, yet In Its Infancy, lias started a millionaire list that Is certain to lengthen rapidly In future years. There Is no other Industry that can compare with mining 111 the creation of wealthy men a presto-pasto change, and you count another crop of millionaires. The fortunes thus quickly made endow mining with a fascination that attaches to no other business avocation, and quite naturally draws into its embrace the more Impulsive and courageous spirits of the business world men who make the most of opportunities and do not listen to the voice of deterring admonition. The In dustry of precious metal mining has been given an Impetus recently that means prospeiity for the people of every Pacific slope state. Coeur d'Aleue Mining Journal. with gold.
