Tenders for two Dreadnoughts have alnaldy been in- vited. yet I lately read an Hlllt'lill report In which it was (‘lztlmed that in a cer- tain distriet the lillings of the Veins â€gold. pyrites. quartz and every- thing elseâ€"were derived from the muntry roek by lateral segregation. This one assertion. if true, would nmdemn the entire district, but, for- tunately, nature has been kinder to mankind than was admitted by the writer's knowledge of economic geo- logy. When an)" individual possessed of intimate knowledge of every feature of our ore deposits has to read statements made by people who either have no personal knowledge or only the most casual acquaintance with them. and has to observe how injustice is thereby done first, to our mineral intlusti‘y; seeond. to the lo- ezilities, third. to the pl'ox'ince. and, fourth, to the owners, is it to he The failure of these camps to pro- duce flourishing mines would he cas- ily understood by those who NJ: to follow the history of gold mining here. if they had witnessed the amount of ignorance dumped into these camps, had seen, how mines and prospects were used as .nil'tivn: eL-ws by owners and promoters, \xiu) sold shares and pueketed the ['l'tth‘ilmill‘ stead of putting: it into the mine. and had noted what kind of persons aeted a< managers and sup-winneml- ents. men who had no more. know- ledge of the business they Were sup- posed to he emulueting than :‘e: man eats. men who had an mure know- ledge of the business they Were sup- posed to be conducting than the man in our satellite. and. last, but not least. had seen men reporting favor- ably un pl'uspel'ts which did not do- serve the name of “deposit†or "with." while others again were re- purting unfavm'ahly, notwithstand- im: the fact. that they Were treading upon free gold sticking out of the quartz which represented the ofilling,r ml the finest and truest fissure vein that nae euuld wish tn see.
