How much truth he'e a . these words cannot be overestimated How particularl true thej are o a mining camp will never be overesti mated by the man who by diligence and promotion has earned the title to belrg an honest mining man. No matter how good or bad a property may be. a dishonest company is ab solutely of no need in either of these cases. A bad property has been i .made to become a good producer,! and to produce good results to the m testor by an honest company many a time and a good property has been ruined, by. a bad company as many times. - Humboldt said that the treasure vault of the world was Ailzo ca. and his opinion ,ani stateirent I was made from the fact of the miner-1 al and geographical formation which I fame under his pergonal observation.
