Rich but mismanaged English mining in Rocky Bar
A Rocky Bar correspondent reports to the San Francisco Stock Exchange that many English companies hold rich but poorly worked claims. Ore yields are limited by current processing, but roasting furnaces could greatly improve profits. A 2,200 foot vein, 40 to 50 feet wide, could yield $100 or more per ton. Meanwhile U S N Co efforts boost Columbia and Boake Rivers transport and warehousing, lowering tariffs and aiding farmers.
