j Mining Makes Market for tlu Farmer
' .(From Oroville Gazette)
I Copper exports for the first six
' months of 1A25 were 1,8 per cent more
j than.' fop a like period in 1924. Tho
I world's use of copper seems to grow
almost daily.- All kinds of mining are
i In promising condition. Lead, silver
,1111(1 gold mining are beng revived
j throughout the west.. Mining money
; Is clean, honest money: it is con
'structive and new. to the last penny.
J It leaves most of Its price with the
; worker and the local business opera
tor. A mining market is the Ideal
( market for the farmer; usually It Is a
.non-competitive, local market, that
i demands the best, and pays cash for
1 it. Mining development Is tho ono
best bet in any locality where there
is anything to mine.
