MINING BUSINESS ON SAFER BASIS
Speculative Wave Passing, and Prop
erty Values Put at Fair Figures.

Those engaged in legitimate business
of buying and developing mines had to
take back seat during the late
speculative wave. and it is only now,
after some of the fancy" options taken
by the speculators have been lapsed by
reason OF the failure to pay the price
provided in the contract or otherwise
fulfill. the agreements, that the man or
company that is looking for business
investment in mine has any chance.
Properties bonded to stock companies
for million dollars are now offered for
$50. 600 or 500. 900. which is fair
value, and one attractive to the conser-
vative buyer. This situation offers an
nducement for investments in mining
by conservative and informed men. and
altogether is safer basis for the whole
mining business. - Western Mining

TONOPAH-GOLDFIELD.
Condition Of Affairs Suggests That
Stock Market Needs Attention.

Tonopah and Goldfield are still boom.
ing in all the exuberance of early life,
and from the later reports continue
upon scale Of magnitude in point of
ore values hitherto unparalleled. Even
State Senator w. O. Ralston, an expert
reputed to be "cold nosed" in opinions
Of a professional nature, is accredited
with the remark that his report, made
some time ago. and which was certainly
"bullish" enough in tone to suit the
friends OF the camp, was too conserva-
tive. This makes q tenderfoot in
the mining business wonder what in
the line.
1t is only recently that the writer
was treated to q special roast in the
most approved literary style of West
ern mining camp for his temerity in
questioning the discovery Of 40-foot
ledge Of ore which was said to run $1,000
per ton in gold, with stock in the mine
for sale at 3212 cents on rush orders
first come, first served" This was
crusher, when on top Of it comes the
report of the "Ralston. Marks -Ruggles"
committee, which the mining authority
of the trio now says is too conservative.
In view Of such evidence one can only
accept the universal belief and join the
chorus of the faithful. Great is rich
Goldfield Of the Nevadans.
With such backing it is about time
some one who knows something about
mining manipulation took hold of the
market and resolved some orderly con-
dition of affairs which might lead to an
active speculative demand out Of the ex.
listing chaotic situation San Francisco

ANOTHER MINING FAKIR.
President of the Tonopah Gold
Fields Mining Co. Sued.

Edmund Burke. the Los Angeles
mining fakir. is being sued in that city
for an accounting. AS president Of the
Tonopah Gold Fields Mining Company,
he is charged with having not only
paid dividends. or guarantees" as he
calls them. out of the capital stock Of
the company. but has embezzled and
appropriated to his own use all the
funds of the corporation. 1t is said
that after six months labor. evidence
has been secured to prove that Burke's
mining scheme is the greatest fraud
perpetrated ON the people Of the West
in many years, and that he paid out
from $4,000 to $40, 900 o month advertis-
ing his swindle, carrying page adver-
tisements in most of the Los Angeles
daily newspapers.
Burke was in the habit Of paying
money to the bell boys and elevator
boys in Los Angeles hotels to furnish
him the names of working girls SO that
he might send them his alluring ad-
vertising matter about the alleged
riches Of the Tonopah Gold Fields Min.
ing Company. His income from that
source was enormous. 1t Is believed
that when the truth comes out it will
be shown that his swindling schemes
have brought him as much or more
money than either Letson Ballet or G.
w. Rumble were able to accumulate by
their nefarious mining advertisements.

The Local Political situation.

Interest In territorial politics has
somewhat eclipsed the local political
interest. However there Is some,
thing doing in San Miguel county
and there is no probability that elec
ton time will be allowed to pass with
out the usual number OF candidates
appearing IN the political horizon.
The democrats are even now en-
gagged In q vigorous struggle to de
termine which faction shall control
the future destiny OF the party and,
what is more important, which shall
distribute the various nominations.
Among the republicans, various
candidates are quietly laying their
stakes for the different offices.
Don Eugenio Romero, the leader Of
the party. and the present efficient
treasurer, will be a candidate for the
denomination with no opposition. Gle
ofes Romero will probably be willing
to receive the denomination for sher.
