An this case it is fervently to be
hoped that the new management

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
