Show Mining Interests. There is no doubt, but that thero arc excellent mining prospects In various parts of this county. It has been stated by mining experts that If some of these prospects with their present showings were located in established mining districts they would bo worth at least ono or two hundred thousand dollars. Somo few years ago, a lively Interest was taken In tho development of somo of these claims but recently thero appears to bo somewhat of a lull in this regard at tho present. Thero is practically nothing being dono except In tho vicinity vi-cinity of Richmond. This mining bulsncss should be looked at from a common sense view. Wo venture to say that if all tho cost of work dono In this county on claims was Hgurcd up it would not amount to as much as Senator Thomas Kearns did on his property at Park City before ho achieved achiev-ed success. Now wo bcllevo that if Thos. Kearns, David Keith and George McKnlght had pursued tho same course that wo havo, their success would havo been llko ours. Scratching Scratch-ing around here and there upon tho surface does not amount to anything. If success is desired do intelligent work. Get an engineer, havo him give tho bearings, then concentrato tho work upon somo well defined spot and go down. Mineral In this county goes deep. Tho mineral already found has not descended from tho clouds. In somo localities thero are as fine prospects and Indications as you would wish to see everywhere. Depth Is what is required. Profit by the experience of others bo persistent and do tho work as others havo done It, and llko results may bo expected. If on tho other hand you w ork to tho opposite, op-posite, different results will follow. Imagine what ono good mlno would mean for this county. After one mine has proved Itself as a paying proposition proposi-tion others would surely bo developed. Therefore wo say to thoso who havo favorable claims, get men of oxpor-lcnco oxpor-lcnco to examine them, and if In their Judgment they aro no good, abandon them; If they aro worth working, work-ing, dovclop them in tho right way. |
