Show Never Failing Silver Production. Produc-tion. The permanency ol tbe prosperity of the western states and territories is forcibly predicted by the Milling and Mechanical Necs,'m anarticle,whereio the permanency ol silver mines is established by ample historical proof. Wherever in any part ol the world silver mines have been worked they are worked now, unless by war, invasions in-vasions of IndianB, etc , the work has been stopped. We know ol no silver mining region in the world that bas given out. Mexican mines, worked by the Aztecs before the conquest by Cortez, are still as profitable as ever. The old Spanish mines, opened long belore Hannibal's time, are still worked with enormous profits. The South American minea have constantly yielded their wealth for more than 100 years, and are yet as productive as ever. Mines in Hungary that were worked by the Romana before the Savior's time still yield an abundance of ore. Toe silver mines ol Freiburg, worked in rhn fnvpnlh century and worked continuously ever since, yield their steady increase. So in Norway, Sweden and Russia, and indeed, whenever mines have been opened, without exception, we believe, they are worked at the present day; and generally are more productive than al any time in tueir past history. |
