hacked by the fact that, us u whole,
these eastern investors uro much
pleased with the outlook for tho min
ing Industry and that they aro more
than satiHllcd with results almost
certain to follow the good judgment
they have exercised in their mining
ventures; ami a pleasing phase of
these Investments is that they have
been made by men of means and of
such business experience that they do
not expect to make a fortune In
mining In 11 day, 11 week or a year,

transform a prospect into n produc

"With such men interested in
mining, tho outlook for the industry
is bright Indeed, and the increased
activity already alluded to is largely
due to the fact that with ample
financial backing they are not lack

systenmtelo development and opera

for the erection of reduction works,
mills and smelters. In addition to

the Dyson and tho Tlgor In tho
Quartzhurg district, and tho work
horteofore dono has revealed good
values. Tho Dyson vein has
lieeu uncovered on tho surfaco a dis
tance of 1,000 feet showing oxidized
oro with heavy gold values, running
from $40 to $500. It is eight iuchos
wide at the south end and two and a
half feet at the north end. Tho voin
is intersected at numerous places by
cross veins from one to two foot in
width. The tunnel started on tho
south end of the Dyson is in 112 foot
showing increased width of tho vein.
A good deal of tho ore heretofore
taken out was milled with a saving
of SJI10 to the ton, but owing to tho
lack of concentrators much was
lost in the tailings.
Not so much work has been dona
on tho Tiger. Thero is a thlrty-flvo
