Prospect shafts, incline, crooked

shafts; straight working shafts"
are for that purpose, no other.
Tunnels should be run to tap
something; not to take a hit or
miss shot at something supposed
to be.
These are facts which have
been demonstrated by both the
failures and successes in mining.
1t is the knowing where you are

Now it is up to the investor, he
who has been warned and adj
monished more than thousand
times ito investigate" Today
more than ever before, the in
weston is needing that advice.
Investigation is the watchword,
and it is doing more for legiti-
mate mining than the actual de-
velopment of producers. If you
would have a good garden, grow
ing and fruitful, dig out the
weeds; if the mining industry
would flourish to it's greatest ca
pacity the weeds" or bogus pro-
motions must be eliminated,
The pressi is accomplishing a great
work along this line, and mining
exchanges are being formed for
the sole purpose of protecting the
industry against the ravages of
fake brokers, and every effort is
being put forth to get the entire
confidence of the public in mining
securities. So securities pay bet
ter if they pay at all.
So all down the line we fine
that the man who uses common
sense wins out, when there is {
chance of winning. The pros
pector needs it, the investor needs
it, the operator needs it. In fact
everybody needs common sense
and no case has as yet been re
ported where a man has had to-
much of it.
