the money please remember that it is
no fault OF the country and no lack OF
mineral resources, but let them put
the blame where it belongs.
Our statement that $55, 900 OF
bonds had been sold in Erie was
made on the best information obtain
able up to date and it would have
been very kind OF Mr.. B. to have
given the exact amount. These
bonds, by the way, are part OF a
series secured by mortgage on the
Kieinschmidt wagon road that has
been abandoned for six or seven
years. And, if this style of securi-
ties and mountain scenery go, back in
Erie, we assure Mr.. Barger that we
hive an unlimited supply of ''raw
material to give fioaters an unlimited
amount OF business
Very seriously, however, the SIG
NAL wishes the enterprise all success
and only fears that failures may re-
tard much needed development and
believes that the same energy pro-
perly directed would have been a
brilliant success in more ways than
is convenient to enumerate here
The present scheme has been at
tempted under far more favorable
conditions and dismal failure was
the result. An honest attempt to
open this great copper country, it
seems, would take the only direct and
honest means to do so. 1t is com
monty reported that $40, 200 was
paid for the alleged wagon road. The
highest estimate ever made as to it's
cost was $18, 600 and no one thinks
for moment it cost near that. So
the SIGNAL is in degree pardonable

BONDS OF A KIND.

his antimeny, largely at the expense

good deal OF contempt He can hardly
understand why the buyer of this kind
OF stock should make any fuss over a

sold, that ought TO end the transaction.

written about the bonds of the Idaho

in the last war have passed away. and
there might be failures and mistakes ut
first that would lose battles and cost many

OF the tread Of The host MS it fel into line

march, We have close TO our shores the
spectacle of 400. 100 dead who have died
of famine and hardshps during The past

Whenever it will give an issue of
bonds that will yield enough profit to
overbalance the loss caused in other
securities, whenever it will aid in
maintaining the gold standard party

depicted the future that doubt
