Aces ‘The following from the Chicago Mining Review applies perfectly to the condition of the mining industry as itis in Nevada county: Many people are surprised-that there are so. few mines paying dividencs, and often estimate the nuinberof successful mines by the standard of dividends alone, While the number i * divi‘dead paying mines is constantly ~ in-Ghould-be powdered and dissolved in creasing, there is a growing tendency to close corporatien, in which a number of parties purchase a mine and develop its:resources for their own tions have paid large profits to the eome from the personal attention given to private enterprises. All: of the vast resources and profits of mines worked under such management—and they are by no means iasignificantare really lost to the credit of the mining industry, ‘and make no showing inthe sum total of its products. Many other mines in the first stage of their development have paid from their resources, for costly machinery and other improvements which are -valuable,.and should count—as a-partof the wealth produced, Thus it will be seen that onc mines should be eredited with a better showing than can be obtained from dividends paid to stockholders, 73> Searcaing for Silver.

Aces ‘The following from the Chicago Mining Review applies perfectly to the condition of the mining industry as itis in Nevada county: Many people are surprised-that there are so. few mines paying dividencs, and often estimate the nuinberof successful mines by the standard of dividends alone, While the number i * divi‘dead paying mines is constantly ~ in-Ghould-be powdered and dissolved in creasing, there is a growing tendency to close corporatien, in which a number of parties purchase a mine and develop its:resources for their own tions have paid large profits to the eome from the personal attention given to private enterprises. All: of the vast resources and profits of mines worked under such management—and they are by no means iasignificantare really lost to the credit of the mining industry, ‘and make no showing inthe sum total of its products. Many other mines in the first stage of their development have paid from their resources, for costly machinery and other improvements which are -valuable,.and should count—as a-partof the wealth produced, Thus it will be seen that onc mines should be eredited with a better showing than can be obtained from dividends paid to stockholders, 73> Searcaing for Silver.
