WILDCAT MIN ES.

| Legitimate mining in the West is just
now suffering incalculable harm from
wildcat schemes, advertised in number
of Eastern newspapers and magazines
False assays, absurd exaggerations,
windy promises and bare faced lies are
the stock in trade of number of Wild
cat companies now operating in the
West. In some cases these concerns
have no title to the properties whose
stock they are selling; in others they
have no ore except thin streak Of the
chloride of imagination carrying a small
percentage of hope deferred; in still
others the entire output for year would
rattle around in a cigar box like peas
in a bladder.
In view of the number of good mines
which need capital to develop them, it
is a shame that these wildcat projects
are allowed to be put on the market.
Every time one stock job is put through
dozen honest prospectors and small
mine owners are directly injured in their
legitimate business.
1t may be set down as a rule that any
man who invests in mining stock on the
strength of glitterihg prospectuses and
paid newspaper write ups, will never
again see the color of his money
Whenever company is organized to de-
veiop meritorious property it sets the
truth plainly before investors and avoids
the usual methods of "roping in" the un-
wary. Whenever a concern processes to
nave an abundance of high grade ore
and is still willing to sell stock it, pro-
fessiOns should be rega led with suspi-
cion unless it is actually paying divi-
dends and owns mines of known merit,
with mill or smelter returns to back up
its statements. Men do not sell to the
public. at a low price. mining shares
which would be worth ten times as much
Il their claims could be substantiated by
examination. When a small mine is once
on a paying basis or has abundance 81
rich ore. the owners keep the stock fol
themselves, Or at least are Indifferent as
60 its sale.
The safe plan Of mining investment is
that adopted by Franklin Farrell, wh(
purchases promising property and de-
velops it himself. The next hest plan. fol
those of limited means is to buy stock II

able integrity. SO that in the event Of

SUGAR STATISTICS.

Carefully compiled statistics relative
to the sugar production of the United
States place the nations total product
of beet sugar at 1850 tons. This is a
gain of Ais over last years figures. This
appears as only a drop in the bucket
compared to the European crop, which
has reached the enormous total of $685.
600 tons. Between the totals Of the two
91emispheres, the increase in cane and
beet sugars seems to be running an even
race. Cane sugar has increased $4,000
tons in a year, and the product of the
beet has made a jump of $4,000 tons.
This showing points decidedly to an in
creasing demand for beet sugar.
The development Of the sugar industry
In Porto Rico and Cuba indicates that
the limit of the productiveness of those
islands has not been reached. Friends Of
the sugar beet industry in the South and
West are watching with jealous eyes
the prospects of free sugar from those
countries.

MONEY FOR the CONGRESS-,

The fact that the city council did not
last evening discuss the propriety of APP
propriating money for the mining con-
gress fund is no evidence of the councils
opposition to such an appropriation, as
the Anaconda Standard seems to believe
Whether that body can legally set aside
Tor such use any part of the public
funds has not yet been fully determined,
and certainly no good citizen wishes the
council to contribute dollar without
full authority Of law. If. however, the
aldermen are disposed to help along the
project and have power to do So small
appropriation. to be expended under
official supervision and returned to the
treasury if not needed would not be the
subject of hostile criticism by the tax
payers. The Standard thinks otherwise,
and says:
The Standard takes the liberty to re-
mark right here however, that some of
the gentlemen who have lately been most
Jealous for city appropriation would be
pretty sure to be found, when election
time comes around, protesting loudest
and longest about the alleged reckless
extravaganza of the city government.
That is not a good-tempered remark.
and is not justified by a knowledge OF
the character of our responsible citizens.
In the history of Butte there has never
been recorded from any class of people
a protest against an expenditure of
public funds for the promotion of any
legitimate enterprise intended to benefit
the city. The Standard can not recall
any such action. Whatever protests
have been made against municipal ex-
travagance in the past have never re-
dated to any appropriations based on
considerations of public spirit or civic
pride. 1t is for the aldermen to say
whether they will help the mining con-
gross, after ascertaining their legal
power in the matter. If they refuse
they will not be censured; if they help
along the scheme, there will be no PRO
test' at election time growing out Of
their decision.
One thing is certain, which is, that the
congress, If it comes to Butte, will be
properly entertained. The honor of
Butte is involved in the matter, and not
that Of Anaconda; so that the esteemed
Standard, 1t is hoped, will not longer
amuse itself by throwing more cold water
on the enterprise. It Is an affair that
Butte is abundantly able to handle. If
the city council declines to appropriate
the funds needed, and the county COM
snissioners are under similar restrictions.
the business men of Butte will be found
TO possess both the purpose and liber-
ality to make the congress a success.

JAPANESE LABOR.

There are cheering signs visible In the
action of the Geary law. which is COM
monty termed the Chinese exclusion act.
So unsatisfactory has been the condition
of Chinese residents that many Of them
have turned the key in the laundry door
and taken passage back to their BIRTH
place. In Butte and in nearly every
Western city the Chinese population is
being rapidly diminished. In 1890 the
Chinese population Of the United States
was 1O7.475; today it has fallen &c $685.
All who are interested in the welfarefiof
white labor will be glad to see the celGs-
tials set sail for home, and will hail with
gladness the day when not a Monaghan
is numbered among the citizens Of the
country. ~
The greatest peril which threatens
now is from the immigration Of Japan
csc. This element of the foreign popula-
ton has jumped in ten years from HAT
to 24.S75, and steady stream Is still
pouring into the Western ports. There
is need for a strict provision in the Inn
migration law excluding the Japs from
the country. Like the Cinnamon the
Jap comes into competition with a class
of workers who are not able to meet and
resist the evil. They take the places
of women and girls In domestic service
and fill places where needy men are
forced to labor when necessity compels
them to accept low wages.
There are now $1,000 Japanese in Ha-
wall. This number is sufficient to con-
tribute to the population of the United
States all the Oriental flavor it can
stand. The limit of Japanese immigra-
ton is not far away and these undesir-
able additions to the population should
be placed on the list with the Chinese.
1t is the concern of white labor the
world over to be protected from compe-
tition of the sort that Oriental irnmigra-
ton brings about. A tariff barrier has
been raised to protect labor against
foreign made goods and the Geary ex-
clusion act is fast solving the Chinese
question. Prompt ana adequate legisla-
ton against japanese labor will doubt
less follow in good time. 81

successful development there will be no
doubt of a fair division of profit. All
men can not buy dividend-paying stocks
but they should at least be careful when
they do invest to secure stock in mines
that are under honest management. In
all cases, intending investors should in
vestigate before parting with their
money, and particularly should they
avoid those concerns which are filling

UNRELIABLE DATA.

The history written by Maclay has
been corrected before it's errors became
a part Of the valued account of a
famous episode in history. Had it been
written a generation later it would, in
all probability, have been allowed to
stand without revision. Historical writ
ings are said to be full of grave and
causeless misstatements and literature
teens with errors built upon these inse-
care foundations. 1t is denied that
Stonewan Jackson made a target Of
Barbara Freitchie: the statement that
Paul Revere made his record-breaking
ride is disputed; nobody believes that
Israel Putnam left his oxen at the plough
when he joined the army. and scores and
hundreds of lesser events IN history have
been raped hard by the rude hammer
of criticism. 1t is not even a sure thing
that Brutus made away with Caesar or
that Moses navigated the Red Sea dry
shod. Writers of Maclay's stamp have
made bad job Of ancient and modern
history.
