The Mount Baker district is the exact point at which the boom has broken out. The reason for this will become more apparent when the bulletin covering the survey of the Mount Baker quadrangle, recently finished by the United States Geological Sur- vey, and now published, falls into the hands of the mining and invest- ing public. Engineers and geolo- sists in charge of this work while in the field were approached and !n- terviewed on the subject of this bul- letin, and, though compelled by the nature of their profession and the rules of the interior department to refrain from expressing for publica tion before transmittal of their doc uments to the director of the sur- vey, privately expressed themselves 4s being in possession of indubitable evidence which they would publish in the bulletin, that the Mount Baker mining district was not mere ly well mineralized, but that it, im all probability, would be found, on development, to carry a greater and richer mineral content than any oth- er known mining district within the borders of the United States. Em-” anating, as this does, from so com- servative an authority on this sub- ject, the Mount Baker district may now be said to have received the unqualified stamp and seal of ap- proval of the highest and most eml- nent authority in the mining world, It has been said and repeated, heretofore, that there is no mining really worthy of the name in the state of Washington, while adverse crities, clearly inspired by malicious prepense, have even gone so far as to say that there is not a pound of commercial ore to be found In the Mount or jet ich states ments dis > weig 8c hat determin the value and chameter mine in Washingtow lumber jacks and sheep herder, instead of men who knew ore when they saw it, as well as the mostepractical and economical processes for extracting values therefrom, and wherewith, in- allentally, to pay dividends—one of the chief ends and aims fy mining, or, for that matter, in a@hy other iness or industry Samples of the may be seen at 210 The Waldorf, corner of Seventh and Pike st line of b
