Miner three years ago, when il first

camille business in Sumpter, he would

unaided.
So far az the trade of these farmers
which the several merchants secure.
they must hustle for that themselves,
and they will make more money by
doing so than by endeavC~ing 20 or

because ii has aided with it's influence
aud its money In the constr uction of
this road. Furthermore, instead of
withdrawing their advertisements
from The Miner and inducing Others
to do so, IL will pay them IN dollars
TO use its columns to secure that
trade. for these farmers are showing
their appreciation of The Miners
efforts In this direction in a substan-
tial manner, by subscribing for it;
that Is what fifty per cent of them
have already done.

There are two opstructionists wao
stand eternally In the gateway of
progress, says the Mining and En-.
gineering Review. They are found
In every industry and the mining
business is not exempt from their evil
influences. The pessimist and his
twin brother. the fakir, though dia-
metrically opposed to each Others
method, manage to accomplish the
same results, by destroying conf
dence aud casting Il gloom over any
industry which is unfortunately
cursed by their malign presence.
We have given heretofore so many
definitions of fakir that the public
have IA very clear idea as to what
constitutes one. II Is possible to
expose aud pillory takir; to render
his illcgitimute business Improbable
and To destroy his power for evil.
But To deal with the pessimist is
more difficult. His insiuuations and
insiGious methods ere hidden often
by IA busines like exterior. He can
be generally described AS II self -opin
donated ass who is ready at all times
to give report IN something of
which he knows nothing. And his
report is always damaging one.
He enters into u discussion on the
mining industry, for instance. He
may never have seen mine, but that
makes no difference to him. lie be-
lieves (somebody told him, he never
thinks that the mining business is a
gamble; that everyone interested in
it are either thieves or gamblers and
he deuounces the whole industry.
and, like the snake in the grass. the
nearer home he can strike the better
he likes it.

To those people who are Opposed
to think and say that mining is but a
form Of gambling, The Pacific Coast
Miner calls attention to the official
statistics of the past year in relation
to this industry. From this it will
appear that. taken as II whole, there
is no form Of investment that has less
of the =, milling than legitimate min
ing. As to matters of chance, there
is less of IL in mining than in farm
ing, with its constant danger of
failure 1T crop; or in manufacture,
with its possibility of shrihkage in
value. The statistics show that 16l
public companies operating mines
and me ullurgical works in America
paid In dividends during 1903 the
sum of sl39, ,4iO,97l. Out of this
amount sl07,77O,971, or s15,22l,
029 less than l902, was paid by 65
industrial companies. The metal
mining companies in the dividend
list numbered 90, aud distributed
s3l, &c., 900, which is s3,sls,OOO
more than was reported in 1902.
The copper companies lead, seventeen
of them paying els, $3.50, 900. In
the silver, lead and gold list there
are represented 70 "bread- winners"
with a total disbursement of sl4,-
7l2,000.

pean countries. Out of total of
$1,000. 600, ,O00.of exports from the
United States last year, Europe took
nearly 81, 100. 900, 600. 1t is hardly
surprising, in the light of such
figures, that there Is weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth among
our European rivals over the Amer
icau invasion of home markets and
that all sorts of devices aud schemes
are projected in order to "meet
American competition. And the
eXasperating thing Is that Europe
dare not shut out many of our ex-
ports absolutly, for to do so would
be a direct invitation to domestic
riot and insurrection.

is that the farmers there bring tn,
