WHY MINING IS SAFE.
Modern Methods Place the Industry on q
Business Basis.

Never at any time In the history Of
mining In America has there been such
marked activity IN that industry as now,
not only IN America but throughout the
world. Many rich districts have had their
paImy DAYS. when great exitement has
followed the discovery Of rich mines in
new districts.
The history Of the pilgrimage to Cali.
forna IN 'Ao.'so and succeeding years;
the s,amprjeS to Montana; to the Black
Hills; to Leadville, Cripple Creek and
score OF less noted mines, is well known
aud remembered. These were typical
rushes, by men Of every nation and every
condition Of lie. Rich and poor, strong
and weak, saint and sinner, all hastened
toward the goal of wealth. The present
conditions of the mining industry Is In
distinct contrast to these features which
Characterized the so.called rushes. Min.
Ing has OF late years come to be looked
upon as not only legitimate, but a safe
business, and with a possibility Of far
greater profits or gains on the capital IN.
vested than any other legitimate business
affords.
There must be some good reason for
this, for today some OF the most conserv.
ative eastern financiers freely endorse le
gi,imaie mining, and not only endorse It
but are large investors In the best class Of
mining enterprises.
When the reasons for this change are
sought, It will be noticed that the success
that attends the most prominent mi,.ing
enterprises Is due largely, II not wholly,
to intelligent, skilled and trained manage.
ment. individuals or corporations Of large
means have learned that anybody cannot
successfully run mining enterprise, and
as the value Of scientifically educated and
trained mining men becomes more fully
realized, the greater becomes the con.
iidence reposed In their Judgment and
skin, until today competent mining engin.
GERS are in demand and among the best
paid men In the world.
With the mining business in the hands
OF such men capital no longer hesitates to
make an investment in legitimate enter.

to make an investment, fully realizing

When the Chinaman wishes to marry
the nrst requisite is to secure a mid
dleman to transact The business. OF
all untrustworthy people the worst is
the middleman-whoi is usually a wom-
an. In case the young man desires to
see the bride before marrying, he
brides the middleman to find out at
what time he can stand on some street
corner and see her go by in a cart.
If she happens to be beautiful she is
allowed to go; if homely, beautiful
girl is substituted for her, and the
young man goes home satisfied. the

A communication from the Okla
homa Agricultural College says: The
English sparrow has destroyed large
part Of the grape crop in some parts
of Oklahoma this year. The crop is
not bothered in any way until the fruit
begins to ripen. The sparrow then
splits the berry on one or two sides
and eats part of the pulp. After the
berry is split the bees, wasps and other
insects soon destroy the entire pulp.
The berry is seldom torn from the
stem and the skin dries and withers
on the bunch. The early varieties do
not seem to be so badly attacked by
the birds. No one variety seems to be
attacked worse than others, but thin
skinned varieties suffer more than
thick-skinned varieties. 1t was neces-
sary this year to gather SOME of the
later varieties before they were thor
oughly ripe in order to prevent their
entire destruction by the sparrows.

Arrangem srts of Competing Exhibits.
1t is always great disadvantage to
the students Of competing exhibits to
have them widely separated. We do
not say that exhibits of the same kind
should always be together, but we do
not hesitate to say that if all exhibits
that compete are in the same place 1t
is easier for the student to get benefit
from them. And this is the main rea-
son why we have exhibits of farm pro-
duce. The object lesson is the one
thing valuable. Among our live stock
the competing animals are placed side
by side for comparison and all men
have the opportunity to form an opiri-
ion in agreement with the judges or
contrary to them. The same thing we
believe should exist in the exhibition
of farm produce. There should be one
place for the wheat and one for the
corn, excepting of course the county
exhibits, in which individual competi-
ton does not enter. We have heard
visitors to the fairs express these opin-
ions and lament the difficulty of maxi
ing comparisons, especially among
those that are exhibiting. Said one
man: Il may lose the prize, but
would like to know why l lose it; l
would like to have my exhibit placed
by the side OF the other competing ex-
hibits that both 1 and others may see
where the differences between them
lie" Even where quality is not being
taken into account so much as guam
tity produced on given area, the COM
peting individuals would like to have
the entries so close that the real quail
ity of the crops can be seen.
