This same source of information
shows that the mines of the country
have paid, and are paying, more
money in dividends than all of the
banks of the country combined, The
profits derived from mining invest

other source of investment and the
per centage OF failures are less than
those OF any mercantile line.

Mining us a business proposition,
and its relation to the real produc-
ton OF the wealth OF the country,
furnishes vide field for thought,
and the more deeply one delyes into
the subject the more interesting II
becomes.
Comparatively few people realize
the wonderful magnitude OF the min
ing industry OF the United States, or
that the mining industries OF the
country pay larger and more certain
dividends upon the investments
made, than any other line OF business
or industry.
When one refers to the vast for
tunes which have been and are daily
| being made in the mining, business
the argument is apt TO be put forth
that one only hears OF the lucky ones,
and that those who have been unsuc-
cessiul are never heard of. Granted
that the statement is true, this same
condition applies to the merchant,
the farmer, market gardener, lawyer,
Or the man engaged In any line of
business or profession. One does not
hear Of the successful mine investor
any more than he does OF the obscure
in any other walks OF life, yet there
are also hundreds and thousands OF
men and women throughout the
country who have made from few
hundred to several thousands Of dol,
lars through successful mining invest
ments, whose names are never heard
in connection with these investments
but are frequently given credit Will
having secured their money from
. other sources, simply because of The
mistaken idea which prevails il
many minds that mining is specu
lation or gamble, rather than bust
ness.

MORE ABOUT WAGNER.
The Remarkable Tribute Paid tt
Him By an English Woman.

In 1898 there died in England lady who had
been personal friend of Wagner's and had for
years devoted a great deal of her time to his
memory, collecting all manner of Wagneriana,
making a minute study of all the incidents or
his career, and putting together, little by little
a biography of the composer. She was the Hon
Mrs BurreI and from the account OF her en-
terprise which is given in THE London Times"
it would appear that her name is likely to be
held In honor by Wagnerians everywhere. After
her death her husband and her daughter under
took TO complete her task. and recently they
brought out first volume under the title
of Richard Wagner, 1S13-1834." The book is
