LEGITIMITE MINING vS. STOCK -.- IORRING SCH EMEi


 Utah mines paid $7500O0 in dividends during the month of April, exclusive of profits earned by close corporations and individual bonanzas, of which no public record is made.-New York Sun, May IS, 1901.
 So many people confound the com panies doing legitimate mining busl- ness with schemers whose only object is to sell stock to gullible investors with no intention of making any re- turns for the money paid them. This condition obtains to such an extent that investors are apt to be very con- Iservative when approached on min ing venture, believing that they are all alike conceived in iniquity and carried out by fraud. This is not so. All wealth comes from the ground in one way or another. and it is related that legitimate mining operations earned and paid more money in dividends dur ing 1900 than any other line of business, not excluding the railroads, which come next in earning capacity.
 If prejudice exists in the mind of an investor against mining, or any other business, it will be impossible to de- eide proposition on it's merits. If, on the other hand, an investor has confi- dence in the management, whether mining or something else, it is only reasonable to look into the merits of any opportunity presented for invest ment and act as judgment dictates.
 There are hundreds of mines in this and other countries making handsome returns to their fortunate owners, and 1t would appear that an interest in mining, under the proper auspices, would prove both safe and profitable to all concerned. ~
 To sum up, it is all question of judgment in the purchase of mining properties, and good management in their development. Furthermore, the, owners of a shipping, paying mine are always at the beginning of industrial pursuits, and with the raw material mire owners have always quick con- vertible cash asset no matter what f. nancial conditions obtain throughout the world

From All over tho

land, IN order more fully to explain the
details of his experiments to the gov
efhor' who will send a lengthy dispatch
on the subject to the British cabinet.
Signor Marconi yesterday made fur
tlef explanation of his transoceanic
signals. He said he expected them 10
he stronger than they were and that he
was very confident that lie would re-
celfe them. He attributes their faint
ness to midocean wind currents and IN.
perfections IN the kite apparatus. He
expects better tests today If the wealth.
er enables his balloon to ascend. There
was some fog on the coast yesterday
foggy conditions will give better sig
llals than will clear atmosphere.
Signor Marconi goes today 10 Cane
spear. there to select site for the
erection Of pole 200 feet high. which
he Is confident will give the best re-
suits possible under the present con
dltions. Tomorrow the inventor pro
poses to have Governor Boyle, Premier
Bond and other colonial dignitaries ex.
anime the tests, so that they may sat.
isfy themselves of the absolute genu-
iileness OF the proceedings.
There is much speculation here as to
the practical possibilities OF wireless
tclegraphy. Signor Marconi is salts
fed from his previous experiments that
great surprises are in store for the
world. He has the warmest support in
this colony, where he is generally ad-
mired. owing to his achievements at
50 young an age. Steps are being
projected to give him some substantial
recognition of the colony's appreciation
