are getting pretty severe criticism
from everywhere, and they deserve
it too, because instead of being grea,
medical experts, they proved to be

better, they could not have done
worse any way"

WHY MINING is POPULAR.
There is Always the Chance of Stril
ing a Bonanza.

| There is Always the Chance OF Strlk-
ing Bonanza.
While in a. general sense the mining
| industry may be termed speculative, 1t
does not stand alone in this category,
for an element of speculation enters
into most branches of commerce and
industry. A retrospect of mining in
the United States will show that where
skill and capital have been properly APP
piled in mining operations, the result
has been the creation Of riches for in
dividuals and companies. Statistics
prove that the losses in legitimate min
ing enterprises have been less than so
per cent, while in ordinary mercantile
pursuits usually classed as non-specu-
lative, the percentage of loss is over So
per cent.
The nearest approach to non-specula-
tive Investments are government
bonds, real estate mortgages and saw
ings bank books, whose deposits are
largely invested In mortgages. But
even these are in a degree speculative,
since the value of real estate fiuctuates
and mortgages may depreciate on ac-
count of the location or environment of
the property mortgaged. The rate Of
interest that can be secured from this
class of speculative" investments
is SO small that, in the main, it attracts
only wealthy persons who do not care
about increasing their wealth. Indus
trial, mercantile, manufacturing and
transportation enterprises are subject
to loss in thousand ways, but the
worlds progress Is due far more to
those who take speculative risks than
those who shrink from every PROPOSE
ton involving them.
The records show that, properly con-
Quoted, mining Is one of the safest in
vestments for capital. One of it's at
tractive features is that it is specula-
tive to the extent that an additional
ten feet sunk in the shaft or another
foot driven in the tunnel may strike a
bonanza of ore that would quickly add
enormously to the profits of every
stakeholder in the mine. Instances
where mining investments have multi
piled a thousand fold in a very short
time have become so common of late
years that they no longer cause any
special omment.-American Mining
News.
