IN THE INTERESTS OF MINING

In another part of this issue The Re
publican presents an able paper from
the pen of Hon. II. G. Beeler upon the
recent agitation concerning mining
frauds, Mr.. Beeler handles the matter
without gloves and If the Wyoming
legislature follows his advice the fakir
will fade from the state. Possibly
nothing has injured the west quite so
much as the man who sells stock with
nothing to back up the certificates.
Hundreds Of mining companies have
beer formed for no other purpose than
to sell stock, the properties having no
promise, present or future.
Some years ago a few claims were
gathered together by a Wyoming fakir,
stock certificates were procured of a
printer who was generous with his
credit and an agent was hurried to the
east to sell stock. At Kansas City
the agent came in contact with a mon
eyed man who desired something good
and had worked him up to a pretty
high pitch, when he suddenly backed
up and said, well, l have no money
to lose, and this prospective mining
property of yours may prove a failure
and | would be out just that much
The agent was equal to the occasion
and the response was characteristic
"Why you cannot lose" said he. "lr
any event you would have your stock
left"
And that has been the case with
about ninety-nine per cent of the com
panies formed. The suckers have their
stock left. With a state law such as
proposed by the g%eologist, fake com
panies would find mighty poor picking
in Wyoming, and the state would be
gwen a reputation throughout the ma
ton for honesty and fairness. At the
same time the public conscience would
not be debauched. Money obtained
through fraud doe us no good. 1t duns
the public sense of honesty n throws
a cloud over western investments gen
orally.
In the interest OF the general public
let the fake mining promoter be giveI
q law that will cast athwart his opera
lions the shadow of the penitentiary.

promoter sees his opportunity n pro
vides the supply. If it were not min

Duty of state Legislatures.
Let the legislature of each mining
state enact necessary legislation which
shall compel any corporation (mining
or otherwise) which proposes to sell
its stock to the public, to file with
the proper officer a sworn statement
of the general facts relative to the
company and its property, with a veri-
fed copy of its prospectus and a
signed, original report by a qualified
mining engineer lin mining corpora
tions), all fully protected by proper
penalties for Misrepresentation
Let the legislature of each state,
where stocks Of any sort are offered
for sale, require that all such com
panies be registered with the proper
officer before being offered for sale
and that non be accepted for regis
tration unless proper filing has been
made, as provided in the state where
the mine or property is situated, with
a heavy penalty for the sale of the
stock of unregistered companies.
Would Stop Indicating.
Such a condition may be a long
ways ahead, but it would put a stor
to Indicating in mining and all other
stocks, would give the miner a chance
to make his mine productive and q
benefit to the state, and give the
small investor an opportunity to buy
a real chance in a real mine instead
of throwing his money away.
There is usually enough risk in any
prospect or venture into the unknown
to satisfy the desire to speculate with
out adding the natural propensities o.
the fakir to the lead that the new
venture must carry until the dividend

The coming year will be a great one
for the city of Laramie. Not only will
there be work and good wages for ev-
erybody who desires to work, but there
are many improvements in sight that
will add much to the comfort and the
material advancement of the city.
Among these improvements the wa
ter works will be the greatest. With
each succeeding month Laramie is now
ceiling more and more the benefit of
the rolling mill. The cash spent by the
Union Pacific in that institution passes
through all the arteries Of trade and
has a grand effect 1t is reflected in
the good business of our merchants
and the splendid statements made by
our banking institutions.

THE IDEA.

Like the people of Iowa, the people
tariff. This idea is very clearly X
pressed by Senator Warren, in an in
terview with the Washington CORE
spondent of the Denver Republican.
In a sentence, the western idea is,
stand pat" Senator Warren sees nc
reason why there should be continual
agitation for a change when all condi.
tons are good. Every section of the
nation is prospecting under the Dingley
Law. Trade is adjusted to 1t. Possibly
changes could be made without detri-
ment to the nation, but why go into the
changing business and cause a general
REIMBURSEMENT of labor n prices to
conform to other conditions that would
almost certainly be no better than the
existing ones? Lower tariff on wool
would give New England manufacture.
ers cheaper wool, no doubt, but they
in turn would be forced down in prices
upon the finished product of the loom
and in turn the laborer who did the
work would be compelled to accept
lower wages. The REIMBURSEMENT would
be general and nothing in the nature
of bettered conditions would come
about. Pending readjustment much
loss would be entailed through the u
settled condition of the markets.
Almost every product Of Wyoming
ome in the class known as raw ma
terials-the class the New England
manufacturers are particularly anxious
to have placed on the free list. They
desire to buy our products at the low
est possible price and sell them at the
highest value they a get 1t is also
the theory of the democratic party that
raw materials should be free. The
Mills bill provided for free hides and
free wool and SO did the Wilson law.
The latter hit Wyoming a blow from
which it took years to v ANY
readjustment of the tariff by the people
Of the east would be with an eye single
to the cutting down of the rates on
the so-called raw materials from which
Wyoming derives its chief support.
The entire west, so far as the domi-
Rant party is concerned, will be a unit
in backing up Senator Warren in his
stand against the aggressions Of the
New England manufacturers.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women. are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
OF too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close %coniine-
ment to home, office or factory, and IN
consequence the stomach must be treated
In a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS a result
fatigue ONE early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid Is
ahead Of the supply. To insure perfect
health ever, tissue, bone; nerve and
tain materials and return to it certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood, We must go to Nature

the settlers and which are now growing

These are found to be safe and yet GER

These are: Golden Seal root, Queens

All signs point to a splendid holiday
trade. Our merchants have laid in fine
stocks and are confidently expecting
that they will receive all of the patron
age of the people of this city. The way
to build up a town is to patrcnize the
people of the town. Merchants should
let the people know just what they
have and just what they can sell for.
In many cases people send away who
are of the opinion that they cannot get
the articles they desire at home, when,
II the merchant had given proper pub
licity to his goods, the thing would not
nave occurred. The Republican would
like to see every person in this city 10y
al to all of its interests. Let everyone
say a good word for the town, patronize
the local business houses and aid in ey'
cry possible way the upbuilding of the
city. 1t is wonderful what can be &C.
complished by united effort.
