cess to be guarded against in this direc-
ton, as its results will not be favorable
to the legitimate operations in this line
Of product in which alone the mining
industry can be permanently establish
ed and maintained. There can be no
logical reason given for the advance
ment Of the stock Of q steadily producing
mine, or q non-producing mine, from a
few cents to a number Of dollars per
share in one day and its rapid decline
in another. Every advancement that is
not based upon an improvement in the
productive power Of the mine, which is
a basis Of value, is false and unreal,
hence, uncertain and dangerous and in
the end disastrous, hence should not be
tolerated in the domain of legitimate
industrial operations.
The indications are, notwithstanding
this spasmodic outburst, there will and
"a be legitimate and proper activity in
mining stocks, and that respectable and
permanent stock exchanges will be es-
tablished and maintained AT Chicago, st.
Louis, and probably other important
financial centres Of the country. 1t is
not against the well organized and
rational movement in this direction that
We protest, but against its abuse and its
prostitution TO false and unjustitiable
ends which will result IN injury
to an important industry, which
has within it all the clements of integ-
rity and promise and, in connection
with which, every operation and move
ment should be in harmony with its
characteristics to secure the best results.

Some three months ago, while boring
an artesian well at South Omaha Union
Stock Yards, a vein of gas, supposed to
be what is known as natural gas, was
struck at a depth of several hundred
feet, but analysis just completed shows
it not to be natural gas, such as is found
in Pennsylvania. Meantime d company
was organized with a capital of $4,000
TO bore for natural gas near the west
end Of the Union Pacific bridge. Peter
Her and Herman Kountz, the banker,
were chief promoters ofthe enterprise.
On the 25th Of November. at q depth OF
oil feet, the borers struck a vein OF
splendid bituminous coal, 7 feet in
thickness. Those who understand coal
mining say this vein underlies the
whole of Douglas county. The discov-
cry has caused considerable enthusiasm,
as cheap coal is what Omaha has needed
to make her a manufacturing city. A
coal mining company will at once be
organized with heavy capital, and oper-
atoms begun at once.-Chicago Mining

Our steei-RaiI Pirates

tAit AED news.
Considerable surprise and no littlc dis.
cussion have been caused by the purcnss,
of 10000 tons of English steel rails bv th,
Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy rail
road company at cost of but
50 below the price Of American.
Adding the duty of $11 ton to
the price paid and it would ap-
pear on the face of the transaction that
the company was paying f2 10d OF Sl2..
so more per ton, duty included, for the
British article. 1t trarspires, however,
that the manufacturers IN England
Barrow Hematite company paid tie
duty.
Still viewing the transaction in this new
light, ii is a severe reflection on cur
boasted tariff on rails, which Was 10 50

eign manufacturer is able to sell them in
competition with our rails, which are
protected By the duty OF over lt0 per

There is another aspect of this eGor-
nous taTlif on steel rails whjth this trans
action lays bare Some two or three
years since the wages of the workreg
IN the American rail mills were largely
reduced, on the plea That the mllIs we're
working at loss. Yet Congressman
Scott, IN It speech made at Erie. Ps,
during the late canvass. said that a man
who made it lis boast that he was Il

Congressman Scott might have added
that the heir to a British title. who is also
British subject, is one Of the principal
owners 10 steel mill not a great dis
tance from Chicago, and which is d!vid-
ing enormous profits on the investment,
1t was said, in addition, by Congressman
Scott that a certain Pennsvlyani4 iron
and steel concern had for some time
been debating whether il should deciare
an extra dividend Of $4,000, 900 ou a
nominal capital Of the same amount.
Now, while our farmers are fighting
