Mining is e business pure snH sim. ole, and if investors would only con .ider it SO and eli ainste he gamhlinP 2 feature there would ba many l.s- losses made in what ar. gene ally termed mining "investments," and the losses would not craze any nor. than those encountered in suy lins of business. says the Metal Miner.
 The men who are following mining from 6 business standpoint are msk- ing money. By followlng |, u on business lines, thei risk o' ,ss i, no greater than it would be ip any other commercial undertaking, but their oppc crtunity for profit is many, many time' increased The :niaing sec- tioos o the sonthw .-, are mex hsussible. and con,aio mineral. of in. csloulsble value. rhern is svH.t ii ld fo- investm ant and field from which one can pick and choose Theio i. no need to make an iniudici,us in" vestment where SO much i- offered that is good. and it ia by careful ss. lection that the mining or business rick is reduced to the mini aum and the greatest opportunity for succ-s- and profit taken advantage o'. There is no composition in the gold market. Produce all you can and it Is worth $2G. .67 per ounce.
