DEPARTMENT OF MINES.

In announcing its intention 20 begin a
campaign for the creation of a depart
ment Of mines and mining. the Twen-
iieth Century Miner OF Boston makes
some Interesting statements concern
ing present conditions in the mining
world Save for some minor amend
ments, the mining laws Of the country
remain the same as when they were
enacted in 1864 and 1872, and are there
fore unsatisfactory and crude, it says.
The paper continues
Under the direction Of a secretary
of the department of mines and mining
the miners, the mining engineers and
the investing public would receive a
service that could not be measured by
millions of dollars The miners woul6
be protected by laws that were in har-
mOny with the requirements of the
present conditions. The investing pub
lie would obtain from the department
reliable and authentic information n
regard To every mining proposition in
the country. and thereby would be pro-
tected from the relentless grasp Of the
fake mining Schemers. The result of
which would be that the fakirs would
be driven out of business and the in
Vestors would put their money into the
development of legitimate mining COM
panies."
The need for a department of mines
and mining has long been appreciated
in the mining localities. but the scope
of the proposed departments work as
outlined above appears a trifc broad
II would virtually put the governments
into the mine brokerage business If
The proposed new department should
hy called upon to examine every mine
and prospect for the benefit of invest
oTs- why should not the department of
agriculture now he required TO report
on desirable farming properties, horses,
cattle. etc. for the benefit of prospcc-
tive purchasers? In both instances the
Investigation would not be a proper
government function, to say nothing oil
the task itself. which would be so huge
as 10 be almost impossible. It is not
10 be expected that any government
department can eliminate the mining
faEir. Investors must guard against
fraud in mining gust as they guard
against it in other ventures. The gov
eminent cannot be asked to expert min
lag properties
Il is true. nevertheless. that the in
dustTy has not received the attention
and encouragement to which it is en-
titled, although the government has
made some investigations with inter
