rs MINING RISKY?

We answer, "yeS, Dut not risky
as some suppose 1t Is not chance
undertaking. mere lottery venture,
sometimes thoughtlesslyrepresented.
But If chance or lottery it is much
less so than almost any other branch
Of industry.
What has been the experience Of
the last five e2entful years? Manufac-
tories have been closed, banks have
failed, real estate dealers have been
swallowed up, and in the commercial
world there has been general rush
and stampede into bankruptcy. The
laboring classes in almost all branches
of business have been able to sustain
only a suffering existence. Has 1t
been so in mining for gold and silver ?
We answer thousand times, "no.
The blight Of the recent panic made
hardly an impression upon mining
towns. Why should it? The store
houses of their prosperity and success
were open and productive, alike in
summer and winter, spring and fall.
They were not harassed and crushed
by competition. The source of their
wealth was not damaged and destroy
ed by fuctuation in prices. Their
markets were never overstocked, and
their chief industry could not be made
the victim tor "corners. Whilst
hundreds and thousands in eastern
cities have been suffering for necessl-
ties, the mining towns have been en-
joying the luxuries of life. That
bridge is the safest and strongest that
will bear the most weight, and that
business or industry is the most reli-
able that can bear the severest infu-
ences and strains Of the worst finan-
cial depressions.
Mining is trade, science, and
when scientific skill and business abi1-
ity are called to its aid, it will cease
to be considered lottery, or the cal
ling simply mere adventurer.
1t is now claimed by the most Telia
bic experts that bad investments in
mining need not often occur that
fssure veins furnish the evidence Of
their strength and value. even before
extensively developed.
Heretofore. capitalists have been
satisfied to send amateur agents to
purchase holes in the ground, now
they will be satisfied only with mines,
and those loose transactions in the
past, that have cast a doubt as to the
safety and profit of mining, will be
less frequent, and this great industry
Of our country will be placed on a
most desirable and respectable basis.
