FAILURES IN MINING
CoNPAnArIvELY FEW

In comparing the failures in manu-
featuring and other lines of business
during 1905 with those of mining one Is
impressed with the fact that the latter
industry has had comparatively few.
judging from a general knowledge or
the losses, as no statistics are at hand
regarding failures in mining business.
The few on record were failures be-
cause of incompetent, careless or ex-
travagant management. and even these
did not carry in any case heavy liabil-
tiles, as mining machinery. labor and
supplies are paid for. as a rule, when
delivered or soon thereafter. n deal
ers are generally secured before de-
livery.
The following failures and liabilities
are reported by "Dunn's Review" for
1905. Among fourteen different classes
of manufacturers which failed last
year the liabilities noun to $f4,252,-
go. Fourteen traders of various classes
failec with liabilities of $51.754,503. and
in banking business we find failures
with liabilities amounting to seo,227.-
1855. The amounts are less han re-
corded in the same classes for 1904 by
over $40, 600. 900, and are not regarded
as heavy losses when compared with
former years.
In mining districts where mining is
conducted as a business. the losses sus-
tanned by shareholders. merchants, en-
ployes and others, by reason of failures
in mining, are Insignificant when com
pared with the above figures. In fact
where mining is prosecuted economical
ly and intelligently there is no safer
business, nor is there any safer invest
ment than in the shares of legitimate
mining companies.
The profits derived from mining are
far in excess of those from any other
business, when expenses are taken into
consideration. For instance. the rail-
roads of the country with working ex-
penses ag~gregating $500, 00o,0 oo. paid
in dividends $166,176,5s6 for a year,
with c~apitalizations of more than $10.-
600, 600, 900. The metal mines of the
United States paid in 1905 about $S4.-
900. 900, no doubt a great deal more. IL
profits from mines conducted by close
corporations and individuals were made
public figures of record, and 1t may be
safely stated that the combined author
lied capitalizations of the dividend pay
ing mining companies does not amount
to one-third that of railroads while pay
ing more han one-half the amount OF
the dividends.
Copper mines alone paid dividends to
the amount of s20,074.500 in 1905, and
that is but one branch of the mining in
dustry. The profits from iron mines,
petroleum fields and non-metallic mines
have not been figured in the estimate
given. If those were added the total
would be far ahead of the profits paid
by railroads or any of the other in
dustries. In fact they would amount to
more than all the profits derived from
all the manufacturing Industries of the
country.-Mining and Engineering Re-
view.

The discovery of a new mining dis
trict has in the past been so fruitful OF
litigation that it has become possible
to predict with a fair degree of certain
ty even the character of the larger pro-
portion of lawsuits that will be filed,
says the Denver Mining Reporter. These
are mainly the outcome of the custom
of "grubstaking," which in itself Is
commendable and has been responsible
for the discovery and successful devel-
opment of ANY mines. The loose
manner in which agreements are en-
tered into, however, is n of the weak
points of the practice and should re-
ceive more attention for the benefit Of
both parties concerned.
1t is an unfortunate trait of human
nature that unless a record be made of
the transactions n agreements of to-
day, the changed conditions of a year
hence will so alter the meaning and i'm
port of those transactions of a year g
as to forever preclude the possibility of
living up to them. If a verbal grub
stake agreement be mad and carried
out for several months or a year, and
no discoveries be made to the
party who is bearing the expense. 1T is
not at all improbable that he will. by a
series of mental contortions. convince
himself that he has been bearing more
than his share of the burden and that
any discoveries made cannot be shared
equally. If at this critical moment, the
man in the field hould strike a valuable
ore deposit, the mental attitude of his
partner at home would be intensified by
the prospects of acquiring sudden wealth
and the result would be that the man
in the field would be left out of consid-
Grafton. His only redress would lie in
an appeal to the courts for justice, but
If he were not possessed of an agree
ment which would stand the technical
requirements of the law. his chances of
obtaining justice would be scant.
The necessity for written grubstake
agreements is just as urgent as for any
other purpose. and should be Insisted
| upon by both parties to the contract.
The subtleties of human nature and the
ingenious mental habits of many per-
sons are past understanding and every
p~recaution should be taken to anticipate
and prevent trouble that might arise
therefrom.
