MINING AS AN INVESTMENT.
An Industry in Which Fortunes Await Investigation and Enterprise.

The report of mining successes is in evitably followed by mining investment, says the Canadian Mining Review. Where money has been made, more may be made. A dividend-pay mine al
 ways occasions the purchase of an ad- | joining property, reputed to have an eX- tension of the vein, and sometimes a I whole district is bought upon the strength of one rich spot. The stories | that have come from South Africa,
 Western Australia, Cripple Creek, CaFi- boo, Rossand, Boundary, Eastern On tario, Nova Scotia and other localities where mining is and has been profitably pursued have revived an interest in the l mining industry as an investment. As there is every indication of a revival of | mining investment in Canada, it may | be well to endeavor to give some coun- | sel to those who may be solicited to put | their spare cash into mines. And first
 we would say to all such, do not spurn | the request as q temptation of Satan and treat the proposal with scorn. But | rather give it a serious consideration | for two good reasons, one of which is | that there are certainly great prizes ! to be had in mining, and the other is | that such investment is one of the best ways of benefiting a country. Do not | say as did a multi-millionaire the oth- | CT day, when solicited to put a small sum into a legitimate and promising | mining operation, 'I would rather take | the money and throw it into the ocean,
 then l would know it was gone and
 have done with it; but if put it into | mine l should lie awake nights and worry about it. There was perhaps
 some excuse for this good mans petu- | lance. for his office was adorned with
 a large frame containing very orna-
 mental share certificates of defunct
 mining companies.
 l As to prizes in mining, many exam | ples have been furnished during the
 last twenty years in British Columbia,
 Nova Scotia, Quebec and more recently
 in Ontario. Prospects that were bought | from needy explorers at prices ranging from s100 to s1,00o have been sold for | large figures, and again the investors
 in these mines are receiving dividends | from the mineral production. Mines
 are not all swindles or mere holes in
 the ground to sink money in. They
 are frequently good, and when they arc
 good they are often very good. Ore | deposits that on the surface only yield-
 ed $4 or $5 a ton, upon being followed
 to a depth have increased in value tc $50 or $60 ton, and have paid hand
 some profits. New districts are be-
 ing opened to which railway transpor-
