EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE voLuN. TARIlY SETS ITSELF UP AS
 MINE CENSOR.
Propose to Advertise in Eastern Pa pers to Direct correspondenee to Their information sureau-ostensi- ble Purpose Is to Wage War on Wild Cat Schemes.

Wild cat mining promoters are to be made the subject of attack through the medium of the International Min CTS ,Assocation, with headquarters at Fl Paso, according to the Fl Paso Her. aid, which says:
 ] Wild cat mining promoters will be made the subject of a special attack by the International Miners Associa- tion. At a meeting of the executive
 board held in the office of Secretary Dalbey, it was determined to uphold all legitimate operations, but to be un- relenting in the effort to drive fakirs from the Southwest.
 | "As a means of dealing tenderly with gullible customers and frustrat- | ing the effort of wild cat promoters to fleece would be investors who have rot learned the difference between a Wilfley table and a slope, the associa- ton will insert advertisements in east ern papers, requesting that prospect i've investors write to the association requesting information regarding mines or mining promoters. | This service will be free to all who nay inquire. The association believes that by teaching customers to distin- guish between the reliable and unrelia- ble mining promoters, they will do a great service to the mining industry in the southwest.
 | Already Secretary Dalbey has re- ceived a sufficient number of inquiries to show that there is field to do much good In a number of instances | ;-fo oh hac led investors to look more carefully into the nature of the prospective in- vestment before spending their mon- sy.
 Secretary Dalbey is today in com munication with a man who may be engaged to represent the association in the mining camps of the southwest, securing new members and upbuilding the organization"
 | The first thought regarding the above would be that such a procedure would be good thing, but on closer reading it is very plain that if the ex- ecutive board of the International Min CTS Association delegate to them- selves any such power, that the board has come to the decision that no min ing operations can be carried on in the Southwest without the stamp of ap- proyal from the International Miners i Association.
 The International Miners Association has not been heard of for some time, and before proceeding with any such proposition it will be well for the ex- ecutive board to submit this proposi- | ton to the Association for its sanction | and approval.
 It goes without saying that every one interested in the success of the mining industry of the southwest de- sires to see the wildcat promoter dealt with in a manner he will not soon for | get, but the program outlined by the executive board gives the executive committee of that organization the prettiest opportunity we ever saw to build up a desirable mailing list throughout the East for the expIoita- ton of mining propositions in which they are directly interested. l The U. s. government has already taken up the work of prohibiting the wild cat promoter the use of the mails. This is the most effectual way to get rid of this undesirable element, and in our opinion the International Miners Association can do more good for the
 mining industries by cooperating with the post office officials than they can
 by setting themselves up as the min ing censor bureau of the Southwest.
