MINING STOCKS.
As Investments They Have Never Been
EqualIed For Profits.

Experience has shown that stocks
based upon mining operations have
never been equalled from the standpoint
Of profit. Look at the large mining cor.
pOrations Of today-go back in the his.
tory of their infancy and you will find
that few dollars invested in the Begin
ming OF these enterprises command thous.
ands Of dollars now after having yielded
large dividends annually.
OF course, opportunities for such pruf.
table investments do not present them
selves every day, and still less often to
the public, for the very simple reason
that the general public have not the ia.
cilities for discovering them until the
opportunity has passed, hence the gen.
eral trend OF the day toward corporation
and cooperation wherein the general
public may, by becoming stockholders,
share in the profits derived from concen-
trated capital carefully directed along
special lines by persons who combine
special knowledge with modern methods,
thus eliminating the risk formerly sur.
rounding operations of this character.
1t may be said that no amount OF eau
tion will entirely remove the risk in.
volved, which is very true. The man who
buys stock in a national bank at the
time of its organization does likewise,
yet stocks in properly managed banks
are considered reliable investments, and
dspositors do not hesitate to leave their
money in the keeping Of carefully man
aged banks because of isolated failures
Of others through bad management ; and
no it is with mining investments.
unquestionably there are two very
widely separated classes of these invest.
ments, the one being very good, the
other being very bad it follows that the
only thing necessary in successfully
placing money in this class of invest.
ments, is that amount Of reasonable
business discrimination necessary to the
successful conduct Of any ordinary bust.

Strike Situation at Norfolk,

Norfolk, Va, March 5.-Street cars
guarded by troops are running at long
intervals but no passengers are being
carried. All is quiet and Mayor Bea-
man stated that there is no necessity
yet for declaring martial law Four
additional companies of the Seventy-frSt
infantry have been ordered out and
this will place the entire command in
the field, two battalions being already
in service. The strikers were busy last
night barricading the tracks, but this
morning the obstructions were removed
by the troops. At midnight the soldiers
were called upon to disperse a mob at
Church and Charlotte streets. Bayonets
were used but it is not known that
there were many casualties.
w b. Rudolph, Tom Murray and
Samuel Ayers, white, and Tom Jenkins,
colored, were arrested before daylight
this morning by a detachment of the
Huntington rifles at Newport News, for
tearing up street car tracks at the cor
ner of Church and Holt streets. An Of
fcer of the company stated that an at
tempt at dynamiting the tracks had
been made but the police denied this.
The Suffolk military company arrived
this forenoon and on the same train
were Is strike breakers from Knoxville.
These men were taken to the barn by
the troops. The arrival of the imported
men intensif1es the feeling and the sit
uation grows graver as the day ad-

REACHES Ell PASO.
First Rock Island Passenger Train
Made Trip on Schedule Time.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 5.-The nrst pas
senger train to reach Ell Paso over the
new Rock Island line reached here early
this morning on schedule time. The
trip from Chicago to FL Paso was uni
formly successful and pleasant. On the
first train AZ passengers were carried.
The inauguration of this new train
service on the Rock Island is welcomed
by the people of Ell Paso and the south
west. In addition to shortening the time
from Chicago and St. Louis, the Rock
Island is using better equipment for the
new train than has been the rule. The
dining car service of the Rock Island is
especially welcome to travellers. The
long delay which passengers have
sometimes been compelled to put up
with in reaching the eating houses is all
done away with.
