The Daily Mining Record, Of De.
nver. has Of late devoted much space
to condemninR the cut-rste mining
stock brokers. It publishes letters
from the cut-raters defending their
business, several Of which have accused
that paper Of publishing the ad.
vertisements Of these beach.
combers Of the mining world and
with seeming justice thus impusns
the good faith Of the Record. The
editor replies that though the paper
may publish the advertisements of
such brokers, these announcements
are disguised and their cut rate price
lists are riRidly barred. That Ia q
himsy excuse aud renders it's whole
campaign against the evil worthless
to the good cause It champions.
The Miner believes that the only
way to counteract the uudoubted evil

!, The Miner has often called atten.
ton to the fact that the "big" money
made In mining has invariably been
derived from the work of developing
prospect into mine. The Mining
Reporter treats this subject clearly
and forcibly as follows:
The greatest possibilities in con.
nection with mining nvestments lie
In acquiring prospects which show
evidence OF good liberalization. It
costs money to develop a number of
prospects In an effort to find a mine,
but the great profits of mining come
from having made mine, rather than
In having purchased one already
made. Mines of known value, of
measurable ore reserves. cannot be
purchased except at great profit to
the owners, and some Of the bonsnzas
which have been sold had at the
time of sale passed the zenith of
their production. Exploration work

OF publicity for this meeting Secretary
Mahon d wells on what the assoc ion
has done during its existence. He
states that the congress has been an
important factor In directing public
attention to the minreal industry of
this country.
He urges the miner to manifest a
greater desire to secure that protec.
ton which bis government gives TO
the farmer IL expending every effort
to enable him to secure the largest

The same opportunities should he
