MINING EXPERTs.,, ETC

The Chamber of Mines has announced its intention of prosecuting criminally the horde of fakirs and swindling pro- motors who have set up headquarters in this city and are working the pub lie, says the Los Angeles Times. These comprise not more than small percent age of the total number of promoters who are operating here, but they are far too numerous. The chamber cannot get busy too soon and there are plenteous cases to begin on right at hand. The promotion of companies with millions on paper and nothing in fact is an in dustry that should land its operators in Folsom.
 There are two classes of men who should receive investigation in this con. neetion. One is the "fiscal agent. v Many of these have proven themselves utterly interruptions. Frequently they know absolutely nothing of the prop- erty they talk so glibly about, drawing upon their imagination for figures Some meritorious propositions have suf fered greatly on account of the lyinp statements of "fscal agents" who think nothing of adding or subtracting cipher or two in their statements Not only should investors beware. but owners of good properties should be very careful indeed how they intrust

The Old Boys
 Step Lively
McKANNA LIQUOR CURE HAS EFF FECT OF MAKING A MAN FEEL YOUNG AGAIN.

Have you noticed some of your olC friends on the water wagonl They arc friends who have been drinking whisky for years, and you cannot understand what has come over them. If you will investigate you will likely find they have taken the McKanna Liquor Cure
 A somewhat closer investigation will likely reveal, too, that they are in bet. ter health than they have been in for years, and feel like boys again. The feeling will stay with them, too. If you will watch the boys you will notice that flesh aecumulates on their bodies. and they step around as if youth had gotten into their feet
 The McKanna Liquor Cure is no new thing. It has been curing drunkards of their thirst for fifteen years, and has stood the test of all this time. II has been used in Arizona since October, 1906, and if you only knew who they were the chances are hundred to one that some of your friends are numbered among the cures.
 The McKanna treatment is a purely vegetable treatment that uses no hypo- dermis and is so mild that it can be ad- ministered with perfect safety to old men or women, or even children if they happen to need it.
 A temporary sanitarium of the Me Kama Liquor Cure has been established in Globe with offices in rooms 14 and 15 of the Max Lantin building. By taking treatment while this office is in Globe man saves the time and ex- pense of trip to Phoenix.

Were Expectations Too

A woman who takes her superstitions seriously started to enter big depart ment store on morning last week when she noticed porter on tall steplad der that stretched directly across the doorway. In spite of the fact that there were five women behind her eager to pass into the shop, she came to a sud den halt, looked up at the ladder, and cried out: "Oh, I II never walk under that" saying which she turned and strode away.
 Before she had gone far her sense of humor rose superior to her fear of lad. ders and she looked to see if her re- mark had had any effect on those who had been within sound of her voice. Walking directly behind her were the five women who had heard her excla- matiOn.-New York Press.

their promotion to agents unknown to them. Exaggerated statements are ruinous.
 The second class referred to is the "mining expert" or "mining engin- eer. ' Not the slightest reflection is here intended upon n profession that justly stands as high as any in the world. We refer not to the real min ing engineer, but to the man who as sumes the title with no right to it, or the man who disgraces the title to which he may, perhaps, have once had some claim. The difference is the same as between a legitimate practitioner of medicine and quack.
 There should be law forbidding any person assuming the title of min ing engineer, or representing himself as an expert in mines who has not ac- quired the right to the title at some 
 recognized school or by examination before a qualified board. At present there seems to be nothing to prevent any person assuming this title, al though in some cases it's use is such self-evident fraud that prosecution might be possible under some general provision of the criminal code.
 The writer some years ago was per sonaliy acquainted with a former Los Angeles street ear conductor, who went to Mexico, made a so-called exam ination of mines, submitted a report prepared for him and thus aided in floating a company with millions of cap. italization on paper. The company sold some stock and then quit. The con ductor was advertised by the pro moters as a mining engineer" His entire knowledge of mines was acquired on a prospecting trip to southern Ne vada during layoff from his work of collecting nickels. On this occasion his companion was another conductor.
 Another thing that should receive at tention is the practice of an alleged engineer, who is selling or promoting or interested in a company, submitting reports on the property which are pub lished in the prospectus in way to lead the unwary investor to believe that he is an impartial expert employed to give real facts about the property. The cases where this is done are unfor- tunately very numerous. Sometimes the report is doubtless truthful one, but the practice is certain to lead to serious abuses.
 The chamber should have the laws bearing upon these questions care fully prepared, and, if possible, should secure legislation that will forbid the assumption of titles without a right to them, and that will stop the sub. mission of "expert reports' on prop critics by the sellers, promoters or others personally interested, when the same are to be used to aid the sale of the stock.

THE SUPPLY OF GOLD.

Bryan made his first canvass for the
presidency. and it has practically
quadrupled since 1884, the year Of
Cleveland's first election This i'm.
menss expansion has had two import
ant consequences. 1t has permitted
several countries to adopt the gold
standard in the past dozen years, Mex
leo being the latest of them to make
this change. 1t has helped to quicken
all sorts of industries and to send
prices and wages up. These effects
have been felt in all the great coun-
tries of the world, but particularly in
the United States There is a fear in
some quarters that the production may
continue until gold gets to be too
cheap for It's present uses as basis
for currency, and general standard
of values. This apprehension, how
ever, is likely to turn out to be
illusory. The tremendous expansion
in enterprise all over the world. which
is partly cause and partly a conse-
quence of the gold expansion will
probably absorb all the new gold that
comes to hand, and prevent it from
dropping to the silver level

more to influences which they have
lacked the moral strength to resist
just as the victims have lacked the
same quality in subjecting themselves
to risks which their own common

cessive.

WHAT ADVERTISING DID.

One; of the soundest arguments ever
advanced in favor of newspaper ad
vertising is given by C. w. Post
the millionaire manufacturer of Post;
um in relating his experiences before
a meeting of advertising men recently
When his business was injured by
competitors on the market with an
Inferior quality of goods at a lower
price, he organized another company
tu- ned out new product with which
his name was not connected and put
it on the market at onesfifth the price
of Postum. He designated the new
cereal as Monks Brew but it was
Postum simply put up in another pack
age and placed on the market without
advertising. The ruse served it's pur-
pose. 1t routed his competitors,
though to sell the goods at the price
was a loss of money.
But here is where Mr.. Post points
out the moral. The goods did not sell,
because they were not advertised Car
loads of the Monks Brew were taken
back by the Postum people, packages
were cut open and sent back on the
market to find ready sale at price
five times greater.
In summing up his experience Mr..
Post said that it brought two facts
forcibly to his mind.
First, that it pays to manufacture
your article upon the strictest lines
of integrity, where you can court the
investigation of the most skilled ex-
pert in the world; and next, that the
unadvertised article, not known to the
people, may have merit, but 1t will
not sell. In this particular case, the
product sent out to the public under
the recognized, well known and ac-
credited trade mar. sold rapidly at
five times the price the same article
was offered under an unknown brand
and would not sell.
