A. 4 Adopts Plan To control of one of our major mines as passed to outside capital and that a drastic change of management is to be made. An this case it is fervently to be hoped that the new management will retain those men. who are logy of the district. : There are hardly any two mining districts which are alike in ore bodies. There i? even quite a difference between underground “conditions in the Nevada City and the Grass Valley districts to one who is familiar with both. There is no one more familiar with these péculiar characteristics of local veins than the miner who has spent yéars in developing the ore; who has made good on tribute pitches because he generally ‘has; as they say, a ‘‘nose’’ for finding pay ore. He knows instinctively which wall of q split to follow that. will lead him. toward a pay shoot. Bring a man from a big vein country into these local mines and he is lost. He cannot comprehend narrow veins at a profit. : It would make no difference whether-that man be a graduate of Freiberg or how high his status. We have had some of the most eminent geologists here and they have condemnéd mines which were ata thousand feet depth that are now at near ten thousand.’ They judged not by experience but by theory, and it is safe to say that there would be no deep mining in Nevada County today if ityhad not been carried ahead by local men who were in close touch with the men who were doing the actual mining. ae Ea It is only within the last 45 years that the system of develop' Ing future ore at least a year in advance has been in practice in the Jarger mines. ~ Prior to that ‘time the operator, when he en: ‘countered an ore body, elatedly concentrated: on it until he had worked it ‘all out before trying to ST develop another.
