The advantages that will be enjoyed
bv Idaho citizens when the north and
south railroad, now being built, is COM
pleted, has just been demonstrated in a
case of man wanted for murder in the
Occur d. Alene country being arrested
in the southern part of the state, and
the officers who had him in charge hav-
ing to make the journey to the north
part of the state overland to avoid ex-
tradition requirements in the states
that would have been touched had the
Journey been made by rail. The new
road will bring the two parts of the
state, the north and the south, into
closer relationship in every line of COM
mercial and social activity. Commerce
tally it will weld together the interests
of the mining and manufacturing dis
tricts in the north and the interests OF
the agricultural districts in the south.
Good government will be easier carried
on, and state institutions, such as the
university, colleges and fairs, will re
ceive more home patronage through the
lessening of time and expense to reacf
them.

EFFORT TO KILL WILD-CATTERS

O~~ ~-~~~~-
The American Mining congress pro-
poses the establishment of bureau of
inquiry in connection with that organi-
cation on plan to make mining invest
ments more liable to return dividends
to the party who takes the risk. Ac-
cording to the article from the Portland
Telegram, which was published in the
Mining News last week, the board OF
inquiry will be composed of men of the
highest standing in their own states,
whose only interest is the uplifting OF
the mining industry. The duty of the
bureau will be to ascertain the condition
of the property and the standing of the
company that is asking for the money
of the investor. Eventually the Mining
congress will work for the enactment of
laws in the various states making the
concealment or Misrepresentation of any
material fact concerning mine upon
which fraudulent sale of stock is pre-
dicted criminal offense.
Legitimate mining has suffered so
much from loss of confidence in the in
weston through the operations of the
"wild-catter" that should the efforts of
the Mining congress to elevate the bust
ness upon safe business plan prove
successful the result will be two-fold
blessing, giving the information most
desired by the person who has money

mineral resources of the country, anC

The lone prospector. who finds the out

knowledge of the extent of the vein
but, being in the business, he take
chances on what is stored beyord hi

property is the result of gambling il

kind. But there are different form.

bad purpose. If the prospector is in
clined to be unfair to his fellows, and
has laundering to acquire riches by a
shortcut method he proceeds to "mine"
on the assessment plan. This is ac-
complished by first organizing a com
pany, and then attracting capital by any
method that is pleasing to the one who
carries under his hat all the plans and
intentions of the company. He may
erect mill and place other machinery
on the property before the first years
assessment work is done. Usually the
stockholders in such undertakings are
farmers, manufacturers, bankers any
thing but practical miners-to whom
mill and few wheels are more valuable
assets than hole in the hillside leading
to vein that carries high grade ore.
This sort of mining" is placing the
cart before the horse, and it is not nee
essary to prove the intentions of the
promoter to satisfy capital in which
class the venture belongs.
Then, there is the honest prospector,
the one upon whose efforts legitimate
mining is based. He first develops his
property, determines the size of the
body of ore, and learns by what treat
ment of the ore he can secure the best
results. He then organizes his COM
pany on a sound business foundation;
he has more at stake than any of the
stockholders, for the property, in which
his labors have been expended, has been
proven to be of more value as pro-
Queer of metal than assessment pain

AS reported by the Portland paper,
the only assistance the bureau can give
the investor is that of protecting him
from Misrepresentation of the property
