Wall Street views with increasing
alarm the progress of the mining boom,
which has already reached proportions
comparable with the disastrous specu'
~lation in the late COS.
Every day sees a new stock added to
the swollen list, and. as in the old boom
days when the big strikes in the DO.
nanza mines OF California, Colorado and
| Montana made a market for any kind
of paper representing a hole in the
ground, the fabulous tales from the
new silver field in Canada have whetted
the popular appetite to the point of
taking everything that is offered.
Last week IS new mining stocks APP
pcared on the curb market, and it has
been estimated that the total face value
of the shares issued so far this year in
the United States and Canada foots up
to 5000. 900, 900.
The mining boom Of the eos burst al
most in a night and wiped out millions
of paper profits. Those who follow the
trend of events in Wall street see
every indication of disaster ahead for the
present fever of. speculation, which is
absorbing stocks of problematic value at
steadily rising prices.
Cuggenheim's Warning
Daniel Guggenheim. president of the
American Smelling g. Refining Com.
pany, and head of what is perhaps the
largest consolidation of mining enter
prises in the world, gives this word of
warning:
"The fimsy character of the majority
of the mining stocks that are now find
ing a ready market cannot be too EN-.
phatically stated" Mr.. Guggenheim
says. 1.-The public hears of the develop
ment of great values in a mine which
the careful investigation of mining ex-
perts have proved beyond guesswork,
and overnight a market is created for
shares in any company that car be in
corporated to cover property adjacent,
or even In n same district. Even
where there are undoubtedly surface
indications of ore values, it should be
borne in mind that one in 300 is a CON
sentative estimate of the proportion of
prospects that eventually fulfill their
promise. In the Cobalt field. where
the purchase by our interests of a large
share in a mine at a price which puts
the valuation of the property at $780,
DOC, 900 has stimulated an immense
popular speculation. the name of Gug-
genheim has been harnessed in market
gossip to properties without number
with which we have not, and shall not
have, any connection.

one success. and that one is made the

GRANGE FAvoRs PARCELS POST

The National Grange in annual ses-
sion recently has reiterated its demand
for a parcels post. and will no doubt
bring pressure 10 bear on Congress to
have a law passed adding this feature
to the postal service.
The need for a parcels post is obvious.
and the United States is about the only
civilized country that is without this
service. The reason is that the parcel
carrying business is in the hands OF the
express companies, and through Their
Representatives and Senators they have
prevented the people from procuring q
parcels post.
England and Germany perform this
service for the people. and do 1t very
cheaply and satisfactorily, and aside
from the reason stated above, there II
no reason why it should not be inauRu'
rated here. No doubt with the retire
ment of Senator Platt from the United
States Senate 1t will be possible to have
. parcels post bill considered and, per
haps. passed by that august body.

Copper Promoters ActiDe
The coming Of the new silver stocks
into the market has not dampened the
efforts of the copper promoters. The
rising price of the metal and the con-
sequent increase in the earnings of the
established copper properties has helped
along the fioatation of an enormous crop
Of copper prospects" in which the
securities of developed mines with
records as dividend payers have been
buried out of sight. Daily news of
fabulous strikes and reckless statements
by mining engineers OF the probable
values indicated have stimulated popu-
lar interest in these shares, of which
thousands are unloaded on the public
every day at prices that are easily man
~ufactured by familiar methods on the
curb. Along with this movement the
legitimate producers have been carried
up, and many old mines of low grade
ore that could not make expenses two
years ago are now selling above par.
The fluctuations in the price Of the
metal are entirely left out of considera-
ton, and it is forgotten hat a property
which can show earnings on 22-cent
copper might easily be a loser with the
metal at 10 cents, the average price for
the past 10 years.

in the purchase of the stocks of estab.

the cost of production the only safe test
of values.

he says, ''the investor should ascertain
the absolute cost of producing copper at
that mine. and base his purchase solely
on that"

Tax Collector Says State Is to Be-
come Greatest In the Union
Tonopah Bonanza: That the mining
interests of Nevada are booming is con-
firmed by J. H. Neven. State Bullion
Tax Collector who is now in Tonopah.
In an interview with a representative
of the Bonanza Mr.. Neven said: "For
the quarter just closed the output Of
mining in Nevada is by far the greatest
in the State since the days Of the
famous Comstock. The net output,
that upon which taxes are paid. has
been at the rate of %. 600, 900 monthly,
and too this has come chiefly from four
counties. The Mohawk is wonderful.
and when you can take ore directly
from the ground to a bank vault 1t is
pretty high grade. The mines Of the
entire State are in remarkably fine
shape. The new districts are most
promising. At Ramsey, Fairview.

ing is entirely legitimate and 1t is only
a question of a short time before these
sections will be heavy shippers. There
is absolutely no question as to their max.

~nARRImAm-RooT DEBATE

1t seems that the most interesting
feature Of the recent Kansas City ban
quet addressed by Secretary Root on
the question Of international trade and
international amity was an unexpected
debate on the railroad question. E. II.
Hartman, the manipulation of railroad
stock aud properties, and Mr.. Root
were the participants, and the episode
was as instructive as it was piquant.
Mr.. Hartman complained of excessive
regulation and interference on the part
of the Government and Of the difficulty
Of managing railroads when "the people
are constantly criticising and suspecting
He went on to hope that the admins
tration will favor legislation enabling
the roads to make proper agreements
and arrangements as To traffic aud rates.
Secretary Root gave unqualified en-.
dorsement to the idea-that is not
knew-of legalizing certain pooling and
and rate agreements. of giving the rail-
roads power to combine for legitimate
purposes, but he very properly put a
quietus upon the notion that the
Government was too meddlesome.
More control, he asserted, was needful.
instead Of less. Any Legislation legaliz-
ing pooling or other agreements. he de-
clared, must be accompanied by leRis-
lation giving the Government authority
to pass upon such agreements and o n
troll their application. Experience has
shown that the absence Of the restrain
ing hand means abuse and outrage in the
form of favoritism and discrimination.
The Root view is the view Of the BUSH
ness community. The way to remove
the suspicion and constant complaints
of which Hartman complains is not to
leave everything or much to the dis
erection and tender mercies of the rail-
roads and their Wall street connections,
but to provide such adequate control
and supervision that abuse will be
practically impossible. That policy is
coming" Fortunately, it is an ex-
cellent policy ever from the most selfish
railroad point of view. No rebates or
rebate devices, no passes. no graft, no
midnight rates, no arbitrary injustice

Is Gaining Substantial Things
For His Party.
REPUBLICANS UNHAPPY
The Democratic Parry Seems 10 Be Making
Satisfactory Progress in Accom-

A Washington Special says
Minority Leader Williams, is
more than pleased with the way
things political have been moving
on in the lower house for the
past week or so. 1t Is admitted
even by the republicans them
selves that the democrats have
been supplied with considerable
thunder by their opponents. Mr..
Williams believes that this ses-
sion of congress is going to great
ly strengthen the democrats in all
parts of the country.
The situation in the house from
a republican side, can be de-
scribed as unhappy" Speaker
Cannon has his hands full in
trying to hold down his followers
and the insurgent leaders are
giving him no end Of trouble.
The president has come to the
aid of the speaker and he believes
that he will be able to put through
the administration measures.
Mr.. Williams has so shaped his
course in this republican crisis
as to be able to take advantage
OF every break made by the re-
publicans, and while he has not
given the insurgents any en-
couragement in their fight on the
Philippine tariff bill, because
their fight is against the belief Of
the democrats, he has neverthe-
less been able to put the majority
in somewhat of a hole on this
very proposition, and Speaker
Cannon fully realizes the fine
moves that Mr.. Williams has
made on the chess board and
sees clearly the advantage that
he has gained for his party"
