PROFITABLE VISITORS.

Seattle has during the past few weeks
had the honor and the pleasure OF receiv-
Ing a large number OF quite distinguished
visitors. We have had the Masons. the
railroad conductors. California newspaper
men. the odd Fellows and many others.
We have felt a pride In the selection OF
Seattle as their meeting place, and we
have enjoyed the opportunity of renewing
old acQuaintances and making new ones.

unbecomlng. also, 10 consider little the
profit they have brought to the city. II
may not be altogether 10 be calculated In
dollars and cents but II is material ben
eft which directly or indirectly swells the
receipts OF many branches OF business Ii
may he safely said that the receipts of
most merchants during the past six weeks
have been very perceptibIy increased
through the influx OF visitors
With the fall there Will come from
ALASKA and other mining regions of the
Northwest and from the logging camps a
large number of men who will have money

they can spend 1t in accordance with their

The closing OF the Spokane Mining Ex-
change IL not to be regretted. The time
may come when there may be such activ-
ity in mining stocks as TO call for an ex-
change. bu. 1t Is not here yet. and the
traffic in cheap stocks could only be detri-
mental TO the best interests OF the In
dustry. There Is plenty of good ore In
the state ard in the adjacent territory in
British Columbia. but the number OF
mines IS very small. There arc thousands
OK claims Upon which work is being done.
and many OF these may prove valuable.
That cannot be determined until they
have heen opened up. To do this needs
money and business methods. Thoec who
OWN claims must be content to plod pa
tien.ly through the work Of development.
and every dollar is needed to pay for
legitimate mining.
Working a mine Is an investment, but
dealing in stocks is a speculation-a gam
Bile. The listing of a stock on an ex-
change is not a guarantee that the mine
1t represents is sure to pay dividends. and
that is the only true test of value. Stock
listing affords the opportunity TO increase
and decrease the price at the will OF the
stock Jobbers, without regard TO merit.
1t was the curse of San Francisco. A
few interruptions men made large for
tunes. while tens of thousands were
robbed and even ruined. When the Cali
fornia field had been exhausted a gang Of
jobbers went 10 New York and pursued
similar tactics for a time. Hundreds of
mines We're incorporated and the shares
manipulated. The great majority have
disappeared and nothing more is heard
Of the many bonanzas which were capt.
talized in enormous sums.
The great dividend paying mining stocks
changes nor have they become successful
by being listed on stock exchanges. The
properties were developed and worked by
capital privately subscribed. and the
money was put into the material. labor
and machinery necessary to mine ore and
take IL TO the smelter.
The mining industry suffers nothing by
the failure OF a premature attempt to
establish stock exchange. The success
full operation of every mine is stimu-
iaRt 10 the prosecution of work on others.
Wherever value Is proved TO exist. plenty
OF money will be found TO utilize 1t; and
mining Will be legitimate industry and
become a profitable investment.
