| A friend thinks it our duty to prick some q
the ld-mining bubbles now so abundant We
dissent, most decidedly. No one will lean
anything from others experience. The youns
miss who wanted to see the folly of dancing, q
her mother had DONE was an exponent Of The
popular heart. Any one who has put fsu
hundreds or thousands into Gold-mining com,
panies will know by experience, as we do, that
not one in fifty mining ventures ever pays

investment to the stockholders. But how can
any one know except by experience that the

Of moOnshinei When he has tried, he will

Gold-mining is no humbug. Some have made
largely by it, though not so rapidly as by get.
ting up companies and selling the stock. THAI
business always pays, SO long as greenhorns can
be found to buy the stock. But digging, blast.
ing, grinding crushing, washing, retorting, are
very prosaic operations, whereby few make
money in the end, while the many lose. Cap.
tal, talent, experience. business tact, and econ
omy will generally make money in Mining
not so uniformly, nor in the average so much,
as in breaking up and fencing Western prairie.
sowing it with grain, and in due time covering
it with cattle and swine. Such undertakings
can hardly fails while mines, especially Of the
precious metals, often disappoint and bafle Tho
stockholders, under the best management.
We say nothing against any particular mining
enterprise. We know there is gold in the
quartz veins of California and Colorado for We
have seen and handled it. Some will mske
money by getting it out; others will lose: but
which enterprise will pay and which will not,
we could not tell if we would, and would not il
we could. Ii you are tempted to buy stocks in
any, be sure you k@O1 who make the repre-
sensations on which you act, and who are to
manage the enterprise to which you are attract

so a ledge of rocks for which they have'paid
three or four thousand, and you take stock in
it, do it on'your own judgment exclusively. and
blame none but yourself if the Investment should
prove bad one.
