He had frozen to death, and an icicle

DESTINY OF MINING INVEST
M MENT.

The recent past experience of the
mining industry has introduced into
financial and other circles subject Of
discussion of great interest to mining
investors and peculators-indeed, to all
who are connected with this great in
dustry either closely or remotely. 1t is
whether mining investmentment will
gradually decline until it reaches, in a
few years, the vanishing point, or
whether, on the other hand, it will more
and more attract the capitalist class, to
the detrment OF other phases OF indus
try. Now this is seemingly difficult
question to answer, but it would not be
audacious to predict, with some feeling
OF assurance the future course of public
investment. The probabilities are high
ly promising the mining industry will
increase in favor as the years roll on,
as new gold fields are now opened up
and az scientific methods are modified
and improved upon. But we must al
ways expect to see ebbs aud flows. The
stream of investment will never flow
uninterruptedly and in increasing vol
ume.
But, in forecasting the future, most
important and vital circumstance must
be taken into consideration. The many
evils from which the industry suffered in
the past have been greatly diminished
and will become fewer az the years adj
vance. Consequently dangers will be
lessened, and investment will not be SO
risky an enterprise as of old. 1t is safe
to say, therefore, If the public will fully
their favors to be diverted elsewhere,
their affections for the industry will be-
come stronger and thus mining, instead
of declining, will become and more the
favorite medium of investment. Science
is advancing; that il the great, hopeful
fact. Wherein the past profitable work
ing was impossible with improved ma
chinery and more economical methods
OF treatment, mining can now be carried
ON with success. Then now gold fields
are coming forward, destined 10 sur pass
in richness and reliability anything that
has yet been heard of. The failures and
disasters which accompanied the intro
duction OF some of the great gold fields
in the past are not likely to be repeated
in the careers of these newcomers, for
not only are the indications of perma-
nence most convincing, but the facilities
for economical working are exceptional,
whilst profits will be earned from the
treatment OF tailings which in old times
were discarded 40 valueless. This is
another powerful reason against the de-
cline in mining investment, and one
which should foreshadow greater activ-
ity. than has ever yet been displayed.
The great evil, OF course, is gigantic and
the less remediable of all. 1t is the un-
scrupulous company promoter, whose
insidious tactics it is almost impossible
successfully combat. Enormous capi-
talizstion is insignificant in comparison
with his success in foisting worthless
properties, upon the unwary investor.
Though he is believed by many to be
less successful than of old, owing to the
exercise of greater caution and judy
ment on the part OF the public, this is
very doubtful.-London Mining Journal.
