And when we are informed, although I have not yet seen them, that\nadjacent to this coal field, discoveries\nnf large bodied of besseiner iron ore have\nbeen made, w.th limestone in abundance, 1 c\u00abn sue littie reason to doubt\nthat somewhere in East Kootenay we\nwill Sttiii another Pittsburg, possibly a\nminiature oiib, but a town of similar industrial capabilities. Whilst waiting\nfor a market for the iron or steel, the\ncollieries will be worked to their fullest\nextent, since thi Northwest is opening\nup so rapidly But tbe south will, I tun\nreasonably certain, take all the surplus\ncoal, since there is no coal field west of\nConnelsville, Pa., that has coal ofthe\nquantity aud quality of our coal fields.\nWest |at Wilkinson, Washington, there\nis a small bituminous coal field, but it\nhas sufficient to do to supply the local\nnecessities, and its distance makes coin\npetition impossible The same remark\napplies to the coal field on Vancouver\nIsland, so that the Crow's Nest Pass\ncoal field can be looked upon as being\nessentially necessary to both Canada\nand the. bordering American States,\nand I do not think it to be any exaggerated statement to make, that inside\nof ten years 10,000 tons of coal per day\nwill be mined in those coal fields. This\nmeans a large number of miners, and a\nlarger population, and with the great\nNorthwest growing, c'oth, dress goods,\nshoes, aud thu hundred ud one articles\nnecessary for the population will be\nneeded, so that 1 expect the falls at Buli\nliver to be harnessed, and mills cstab\nlisbed. Later, on as we grow, and a\nmarket for pig iron and steel is found,\nJiossibly in the Orient, I foresee blast\nurnaces, beSHcmer steel converters and\nrolling mills at work, and East Kootenay teeming with business life and activity.\"\nGROWTH   OK   ZINC   INDUSTRY.\nMONTH   CAltLO.

These\nfigures do not represent the production\nof sine ore, but tiie aluc in its metallic\nstate, In 1873, the number of tons of\nmetallic zinc produced In this country\nreached an aggregate of 7,818 tons.\nThe output in 1902 is estimated at 159,-\n000 tous, This increase in production\nhas been gradual, though the tendency\nof Ute years has been to show a much\ngreater Increase of production in proportion to thu increase made between\n1878 and 1897.\nThe zinc industry inthe United States\nvirtually dates back only 15 years. Less\nthan thirty years ago zinc ore was considered as so much waste In Missouri,\nand piled up in large dumps as worth*\nless, for the reason that un method had\nbeen invented which would successfully\nsmoltthoore. Then for several years\nzinc ore sold as low as (9 n ton.

Is not the canning busi\nucss a gamble ?   Even the farmer\ngambles every year as to his crops\nand prices.\nThe cattle men lose their herd\nby a storm or drought. The gambling instinct is in human nature,\nwhich means'wanting to get something for nothing\u2014making money\nwithout earning it.\nIt is for that reason the mining\nworld offers such a profitable field\nfor the dishonest to operate in, for\nthere are chances of making, legitimately, immense fortunes.    \u00ab\nIt is a field very alluring, and\nabout which most people know\nvery little.\nThe reason for the failures are-\nignorance and dishonesty. I do\nnot mean to say there are no failures by honest, experienced mining\nmen, but the long list will come\nunder the other heads.\nThis i8\u00abespecially true in a new\ncountry like Washington or Alaska,\nand where there are so many\nnatural disadvantages to overcome.\nHere is a case of a property\nOwned by a prospector without\nmoney (as usual). It shows good\nvalue and is consequently a world-\nbeater. He will not make a reasonable deal with the mining man who\n-knows-Jiow-tQ-Qpen\u2014up_tho-prop^\nerty, and who has the money.\nThe one-horse broker gets hold\nof him. Here are two without\nmoney, to make their fortune. The\nbroker, by proper manipulation,\nconvinces the prospector that by\nstocking it for 81,000,000 and tak-\n400,000 shares himself, giving Mr.\nBroker 400,000 shares, and putting\n200,000 in the treasury, aud by\nselling same at 5 cents, then raising it gradually to 50 cento, thoy\nwill make it a paying mine.\nThe prospector is put in as manager, the broker as president, and\nit is launched. The laboring man,\nworking girl and poor widow are\nshown assays of the oro\u2014made by\na reliable assayer; thoy invest\nThe broker thinks ho is now on the\neasy road to wealth, but knows\nnothing in regard to mining. The\nprospector knows nothing in regard\nto managing a mine; he is all right\nfor pounding a drill or hitting a\ntrail. . The second year there is no\nmore treasury stock; the mine has\ntrails, cabins, blacksmith shop, etc.,\nwith about 20 feet of development\nwork. Is it the fault of the property that there has been a failure ?\nNo. That is the story of hundreds.\nThen, there are other cases,\nwhere the dishonest\" hive organized, on a stranger, had assays\ntrade on the other man's ore and\nsold siock; have done no work: absorbed all proceeds of sales. The\nmino was nothing. \"\"\/Was that the\nfault of the mine? No; but legitimate mining gets the blame for\ntil this. The reason for this is\nthat most people go in for mining\nas a gamble, not as a legitimate\nbusiness proposition. They do uot\nseem to think that as good horse\nsense and business judgment slould\nbe used in that as in any business\ntransaction, and not throw money\nout ou mining in the same way\nthey would on a roulette wheel.\nThey trust to tho other man's\njudgment, whom they do not know,\nand excuse themselves by saying,\nwell, it is a gamble; I will just take\na flyer. But if it fails, he condemns mining, and says there are\nuo good mines in this state.\nIf you are going to invest in\nmines, do it in a businesslike maiiT\nner. * A good man charges a good\nprice for his time and opinion, but\nit is cheaper in, the long run. 1\nhave in mind an illustration which\nbears on the subject of this article:\nIt was in California. San Francisco men owned a 20-stamp mill:\nhad a superintendent; paid $125 a\nmonth. The property was losing\nmoney; stock hold*rs discouraged.\nThe president was on the train returning from the mine to San Francisco; he got in conversation with a\ninining man to whom he described\nthe situation. The mining man\nsaid: \"I know what is the matter;\nyou need a superintendent; I know\na man; he is worth $300 a month,\nbut he can make that mine pay.\"\nThe president laid the plan before\nthe directors of employing the $300\nman. They hold their hands up\nin horror; the mine was going in\n-debt-noWj-aud\u2014to\u2014make\u2014an\u2014estrn-\nexpeuse of $175 was beyond reason.\n\"Very well,\" the president said,\n\"If you .will not. I shall change\nsuperintendents at my own expense.\"\nThe second month after the new\nman took charge of the property he\nwas paying dividends. At the end\nof the year the entire indebtedness\nwas cleared; the mine was paying\nhandsome dividends and the superintendent's salary was raised to\n$500.\nThis speaks for itself. It pays\nin mining more than- any other\nbusiness to have the best men yon\ncan get, where there are thousands\nand sometimes millions at stake.\nDo not blame mining for your\nlosses, Do not blame the mines\nfor the fail ures. You do not blame\nthe real estate business if you make\na poor deal. Why should you\nblame mining.\u2014C. E. Bogardus,\nin N.W. Miner, M. & M.
