FRAUDULENT MINE PROMOTION

FRAUDULENT MINE PROMOTION
 In these days when so many mining stocks are being offered to investors it would be both unwise and untrue to say that most of them are frauds, and should be let alone. There are many ways in which those contemplat- ing investment in mines, but who are unfamiliar with mines and mining methods. may get reliable information concerning the particular stock offered them. The statements made by some promoters, in some of the numerous prospectuses, are so palpably ia SC as to require no comment, as the attempt ed deceit is really recognized by min ing men, but the inexperienced are the easy victims of these unprincipled men with their fake schemes. The language employed by some promoters in their prospectuses bears the stamp of honesty, and even cautions inves- tors against being duped by false rep resentations. Certain paragraphs give ostensibly scientific descriptions of the rocks and geographical forma- tions. These sound well to the uniniti- ated, but the blunders in phraseologoy and orthography at once pronounce the writer of them as pretender, TOT there are few qualified mining engi- neers who will lend themselves to swindling schemes of the description noted. The words of caution found in these fake prospectuses would be amusing if it were not for the mischief they are calculated to work.
 A great many newly organized com panies place the capital stock in mill ions when the property is in its early sage of development, worth only a few thousand at the most. The capital ization is not based upon values, but is fanciful, and dividing the stock into a large number of shares makes Il seem cheap to the would-be investor. If the property has the elements of profit in it when equipped and managed it will pay; and if it pays net profit at all it will pay it on a capitalization of several million dollars as well as on one of a few thousand. Placing the par value of stock al high figure does not make the stock worth more, nor less. That there is, or can be, any real connection between the actual value of a mine and its capitalization is a delusion, and where the promoter un, dertakes to demonstrate that there is such connection, particularly in a par tially developed mine the connection is merely fanciful. "Overcapitaliza- ton is dangerous" This is true of in- dustrial enterprises more than of min ing concerns. but is not nearly so dan gerous as exaggerated statements of value of ore iH sight-Mining and Sci entifc Press.

NEW DISCOVERIES
ARE FREQUENT

ARE FREQUENT
 There seems to be no end to the pos abilities of the far north in the way of mineral production. New discover
 ies are of frequent occurrence. there
 The Valdez. Alaska, Prospector of re- cent date says:
 The Comstock group of eight claims
 recently located on the LaEina, tributary of the Chittyna, is probably one of the most important locations ever made in Alaska.
 The locators went into the Chityna country late last fall to prospect. if possible; but with no previous knowl- edge of the country. Arriving there they made it a point to evade the
 beaten trails and search for new fields. At the Lakina they found nuggets of
 native copper. which they traced up
 stream until they arrived at a point about four miles above what is known
 as the Schrader trail. Here they
 turned from the creek into the side
 hills and very soon came upon the lead. which was exposed in many
 places. They spent considerable time in uncovering it in a number of places
 and found its trend to be slightly northeast and southwest. At one
 point on the lead there occurred al some time a slide or break off which now shows a vast cross section of the pure native copper glistening all through it. As far as examined 1t shows the pure native copper. with just enough rock to allow of mining in the usual way. The c'aims are located | four long and two wide, and over the whole are found lodges averaging from eight to twelve feet wide and with clearly defined wal S. The country shows no indication of break up and every part seems to be solidly in place. At some points an iron capping is | found but generally the iron has disap- peared and copper stands out in bold relief. Most of the rock in the ledges
 is white quartz.
 | Owing to the difficulty in getting out over the divide at this season of | the year the locators were forced to part with most of their specimens | but the hatful or so that they succeed | ed in getting to Valdez shows their
 find to be very rich. as all of the sam | pies were chiseled off the ledge. The locators will return to their
 property just as soon as the season for
 travel opens up. A number of others will go in at the same time so there
 is a possibility of other locations be, ing made on the lead this coming sea. son.

THE UNITED VERDE

The report of the United Verde com pany (AriZona) for the year 1902 can not be termed a fiattering one, al though. all circumst ances considered, it is no doubt viewed by it's stock holders as an entirely satisfactory one. When you have a serious fire in the mine and other matters quite as in fiammable is allowed to reach the combustion point, it is not easy to produce copper. These things were quite sufficient to reduce the United Verde's production from over 34,000,- 900 pounds of copper in 1901 to about 20 900, 900 in 1902.
 The inevitable result of this has been to cut down profits to about one fourth of what they were in 1901. The report gives the total net revenue of the company for the year 1902 at s927.- 654, of which s159,757 were interest and rentals This is big come-down from a net revenue of s3,235,S45 in 1901. The decrease is due not alone to decreased production, but to lower prices for the metal. Copper at 17 cents a pound is very different thing to the stockholders of a copper com. pany. to copper at II cents pound It is not all likely, however, that Sen ator Clark is shedding tears over the Ieanness of the United Verde's divi' dends, rather can one imagine him grim,y smiling as he recalls to mind the fact that there are others"

HOW TO LIST
MINING STOCK

The Los Angeles Mining Review gives the following information for companies when making application for listing their stocks on the Los AR- geles Miners Stock Exchange:
 "The listing committee consists of five members, one of whom is min ing engineer. A company making ap- plication to list it's stock must produce satisfactory evidence of title to prop erty, duly certified to and approved by a competent attorney at law or ab- stract company, and a copy of p at of property. prepared and certified to as being substantially correct, and show ing the workings or development of the property, with a report thereof by the authorized engineer of the Ex- change, or by a recognized competent engineer or mining man, who shall be approved by the listing committee. Should the committee be unable to ap- prove of any engineers report, it is authorized to submit such report to the board of engineers Of the Exchange
 These precautions carefully taken, are good ones and offer an excellent guarantee of a proper conduct Of the Exchange The success, or, on the other hand. failure of a mining stock exchange. depends in the largest meas . uFe upon it's listing committee. The Los Angeles Miners Stock Exchange is fortunate in having a good listing committed. the members of which may be depended upon to impartially en- force the rules laid down for their ob- servance.
 Section of these rules provides that properties which shall have pro duced s5.000 from mine or smelter re- turns. shall be listed as Mines" those whose production is less than that amount will be listed under the head of Prospects" The fees for listing stocks are as follows: Prospects, s25; mines. $50. and dividend-paying mines, s75. The required amount must ac- company the application. which will entitIe the property to listing and call on the Exchange for period of one year"

COPPER.

With the appreciation in the value of copper there will be an interesting revival in copper mining in Arizona Many of the smaller mines which have been closed for the last two years will soon be in operation. These which have continued deve opmen' will become producers. The fact tha' they have withstood the break in the conner market is a strong evidence ol the value of the same.

Bisbee daily review., 1903-03-06

The immense stride forward in the copper production of the United States is manifest when the production of last year--293 504 long tons is com pared with that of 1S45, the first year of which statistics are available. which was 100 tons. The total production during the period which copper pro duction is reported, reaches the enor- nous total of 3,530.733 long tons. It is interesting to note that the produc- ton of 1902 alone is within about 1000 tons of the total production of the 36 years from 1S45 to 1880 inclusive, which was 294, $50 tons.
 Reports received indicate rich new find near Tiena Blanca in the Sonora district. Several rich veins have been located that run high in gold. besides carrying from 20 to 30 ounces of silver An Englis hcompany has been organ ized in London and has de- nounced over two hundred pertinencias and is now sinking two shafts on the property. A number of adjoining claims have also been taken up by different persons, most of whom are American prospectors who have gone there from other districts. &@%
