is recreant to its high calling if 1t fail in its
sounding the note of warning. This is what
the MINER has done and for doing it the
Inter Mountain has charged that it has shown
hostility tn the Interests Of mine owners. In
view of the facts of the case the charge falls
tlat for want of co roborative evidence. The
MINER has not a word to say against the fair
dealing and integrity Of the mine owners of
this district. 1t recognizes in them a body
Of honorable, square-dealing men. We have
no cause to write a different opinion of them.
But can the Inter Mountain point to its rec

caution to the public concerning investments
in overcapita!ized mines? Has it not on
the contrary aided parties in floating stocks
in one? Will it answer a few questions
touching this matter? If so, let US hear them
to the following:
Did it not hesitate to publish a mining ex-
pert's report of a mine in this district Did
it not publish that report upon a virtual
promise of pecuniary gain to itself9 In COLI

not publish the report not only once but
twice? In publishing the report did it not
Use its columns to advance its W private
interests? And in serving its own private in.
