What has the war in the Orient to
do with the mining industry In
America? There ere no guns power
ful enough to carry ss far US the un-
derRround workings of western
mine, and the gold in the ground will
be worth just as much, no matter
which side wins. Listed mining
stocks have declined In sympathy
with the decline on the industrial
exchanges. Some prospective invest
ors in unlisted securities are display
ing a little attack of cold feet. Any
Tightening of money on the score of
the wal can only be but temporary
development. When the investing
and speculating public fully realizes
the fact that IL this country 10
affected by the war II must be beneH-
cially. the bulls will quickly get on
top again Ly the big demand for
securities Of all kinds, and especially
good mining securities. There Is
silver lining to every cloud and the
unanimous opinion Is that the war
cloud In the Orient has a lining for
us over which we should be hopeful
rather than pessimistic. c.--Daily Min.
