WHAT IS A BUsIEss MINE MAN
 AGER7

Given a great mine, well-equipped mill, able mine and mill superinten- dents and all the appurtenances to successful mining business: the net re- suit is a failure; what was the trouble and how can it be remedied? We sup pose that most of our readers will join with us in answering the first part of the question by two words-bad man. agement. But some may object to the answer by asking. How can there be bad management when the manager has selected good men, erected a suit able mill. has a good system of mine accounts, and is also, no doubt. hard worker himself?" And yet we know of quite number of cases where failure has. temporarily, resulted. Tn every case the failure was due to lack of harmony and organization-what the athlete calls team work" The man. ager of the business possibly getting plenty of work out of his men, driving them, if you will. but not keeping the efforts concentrated along the same lines.
 We have often heard it said that a mine must be managed by business man. This is not disputable if we use the word business" in a proper sense. Out of this sense we are apt to be led into an untenable position. manager may be first-class business man in packing house or circus, or what ever occupation he may have been trained to- but put a successful busi- ness manager of a packing house in charge of a big mine and he may be first-class failure until he learns the business of a mine. According to Webster. business is "a particular art, as agriculture, trade, mechanic, art or profession" A mine manager who is a business Suan, therefore, must be man versed in his particular art of mining and not merely man of good financial training, which is what is usually understood by the term "busi- ness man."
 And. indeed, this must be so. If a manager does not thoroughly under stand the essential details of the busi- ness. how can he adjust the affairs SO as to preserve the harmony and thus prevent wastage of effort and the in- evtable friction. It is rare indeed that the heads of departments will har-

MINING EXPERIMENT STATION

We are glad to see the move made by Representative Eben w Martin, of South Dakota in the interest Of min ing. He has introduced a bill to estab- fish a mining experiment station in each mining state and territory. "the object being to assay, analyze and classify the various ores and other mineral products of the respective states when presented by citizens thereof" That may do for a general statement of the purpose of the bill, but it should go much further; it should be as comprehensive as to min erals and the mineral industry as the agricultural experiment stations are to the agricultural industry. With such a station here, Utah could out shine all the states in the riches, eX tent and variety of her mineral re- sources and products. The bill is said to provide that a geologist shall be in charge, and a chemist shall also be employed.
 It would of course be necessary to have the services of a geologist, and also of d chemist; but the station should not be in charge of either, but of a man of affairs, who should be alive to the practical and commercial interests Of the states, and who should be able to make the most of the min eral deposits in the public interest While efficient technical help as sug- gested is indispensable, the headship should not be technical, but should be general and practical. These, how ever, are matters of detail, which can easily be arranged in the bill as it passes along in its various stages. It certainly has a valuable idea, and we believe tht all the members of con- gress, of both houses, from the mining sites, will urge its passage. Such a station, properly conducted. would be tower of strength to the interests of the miners.-Salt Lake Tribune.

monize their work so as to get the best final results. This must be done by the responsible head of all.
 { To take a concrete case. A mine foreman who was keen to make good records for cheap mining was sending out ore to the mill Gan excellent one, by the way) in such a shape as to nullify, to a large extent, the efforts of the very able mill man. One day this material was a very wet talcose matter, the next a zincy ore. followed by very quartz material. In despair the mill man, unable to keep the ma chinery adjusted, appealed to the man ager who was what is commonly known as a business man. The tech nicaI details were beyond him, and be- tween the contending parties he could not make up his mind what to do. The business muddled along until both foremen quit in disgust. Great loss had been made in the meantime and under less suspicious circumstances an entire failure would have resulted.
 A mine, as rule, either makes money very fast, or loses it with even greater celerity. A big mine needs, therefore, able business management. and by that we mean a mining man whc has started in young and has learned every phase of the business, financial, technical and practical. And this is the answer to the second part of the question we propounded.-Min ing Reporter.

nerve of promoters in this line. They are merely recent. There were plenty to precede them. That these stocks became so much waste paper is no fault of those who attempted to float them. All the dead and shriveled ghosts of past gigantic stock job ope- rations did not serve notice on inves- tors that industrials promoted in this way stood for nothing.
 So common is the opinion that in mining stocks have occurred the worst losses, and that they are still the wid- est open medium for frauds, that it is well to occasionally let something of the truth be known. There are un-

questiOnably mining companies whose aim is to float stock, and that done, to get away with the swag. but they bear no comparisons with industrial stock jobbing operations. Tn fact, there is more loss in enc of these huge high rolling industrial enterprises than in a dozen mining companies. Fraud in the promotion of industrials does not make the same thing in mining one whit less reprehensible. Both are de- piorable. not only fer the immediate losses, but in remoter consequences impaired confidence, and distrust in quarters where ii should not exist. When it comes to comparisons, how

INDUSTRIAL vs. MINING STOCKS

Does the public still hold the idea that there is more safety in industrials thansin mining stocks? Events of the past year should dispei that delusion most effectually. Outrageous as is the capitalization of too many mining companies. they cannot compare, even the rankest of them. with class of industrials. Consolidated Lake Supe- rior. for instance, with its $l17, ,0C0, 900, closed out for a claim of $5,000 900. United States Shipbuiiding, Interna- tional Mercantile Marine, with their stupendous millions of bonds, prefer red and common stock. b-classifed into syndicate, pooled and the public come last stocks.

 General Manager BeauChnmp of the polaris company was in town Tuesday last with some fine specimens recent lv taken from the Golden Eagle vein. The ore averages 2is ounces gold and 62 ounces silver and also carries some copper. The ore Is being sacked for shipment Co Fl Paso for treatment. Nr.

 Work was resumed on the Antietam mine this week. and arrangements have been made to ship ore to the A. C. company for treatment. P. F.

F. G. Pemberton, clerk for Supt. A. C. Sieboth, who returned Tuesday from the Arizona Hancock property, brought back a sample of ore from a strike made a few days ago in the Proctor tunnel, 675 feet from the DOT. tai and at a vertical depth from the surface of nearly $50 feet. The ore is high-grade chalcopyrite, similar to what is found in other mines around the head of Mineral and Pinto creeks. The ledge where cut by the tunnel is between two and three feet wide, but MT. Pemberton did not learn the width of the rich ore streak. This ore is not the main ledge for which the Proctor tunnel is being driven; that is about 150 feet farther ahead. However, the recent strike is important, as it may lead to the opening of a good-sized ore body.

BETTER FEELING in STOCKS


Buying In Large ouantitles Sends
Prices Up Several Points.
New York. Sept. 3O.-A very de
cided change came over the stock
market. In place Of the recent heavy
liquidation and further shrinkage Of
values there was buying in large vol
ume apparently by the leading finan-
cial interests. though it was more
than likely that a goodly part of the
purchases was really in the nature Of
supporting orders. 1t is also probable
that some Of the high-grade stocks
were absorbed for investment The
bears were not slow to observe the
changed conditions and bought very
extensively, in fact their attitude
helped in no small degree to sustain
the list, which was at top prices at
the close.

general rule throughout the list, and

MINERS PRESENT
MORE GRIEVANCES
To the Board of Cancellation
Which Resumes Its Session
in Wilkesbarre
NO DECISIONS YET RENDERED

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept SO.-1he
board Of Cancellation to settle disputes
between operators and their employees
in the anthracite region resumed its
sessions in this city. All of the mem
bers Of the board were present. About
20 employees of the mines were present
to give testimony in grievance cases
which were scheduled before the board.
IN the case Of the employees of the
Williamstown mines operated by the
Pennsylvania Company 5 written COM
plant was received that some Of the
employees were being Disseminated
against In reply to the charges the
superintendent of the collieries testi-
fed that the works were not in full
operation and that it was impossible
to find work for all the old employees.
Employees of the Gaylord mine of
the Delaware and Hudson Company at
Plymouth testified that owing to a
change in the working of the chambers
In that mine they had to do additional
work without extra pay.
Two driver bosses employed by the
same company complained that they
had not received the back pay awarded
by the Strike Commission. The COM
pany officials said that as bosses they
did not come under the award made by
the commission.
Runners at the Delaware and Hud-
son Company mines claimed that the
company had three wage scales and
that there was discrimination in the
wages paid. The company miners en-
ployed at Dunmore stated that they
had been receiving S2..10 a day for
eight hours work. but were asked to
work nine hours for the same wages.
Some time was taken up with testi.
mony of fan engineers of the Bliss
mine, who charge that they we're dis
eliminated against and not taken back
after the strike. A pump runner at a
colliery of the Riverside Coal com
pany at Archibald charged discrim-
nation The engineers at the Wentz
Coal company at Hazleton charged
that they we're not given the increase
decreed by the commission. The ac-
countant Of the company gave testi-
mony in rebuttal.
The employees of the Van Wickle
company in the Hazleton region com
planned of the hours of work and pay
They charged that they had been
working a nine-hour day at the colliery
for years. and that when the commits
sion decreed a shorter working day
they were obliged to work the same
time as formerly without increased
pay. The answer is the same as il
the Dunmore miners case, that the
coal commission had decreed a gen
eral nine-hour work day and the com
pany was not living up to the decree.
The two most important question:
before the board remain unsettled
those Of a short Saturday work day il
the Schuylkill region and the pay
ment of the advance percentage OF
the gross or net earnings. One of tn
conciliators said they had not agree'
en- either of the questions. and tha
both might be referred to the umpire
He intimated that they might be abl
to compromise on the system of pay
ment on gross or net earnings, bu
that there was such a difference oi

Saturday as claimed by the Schuylkil
men that It was about agreed to sub
