U. s. Civil Service

Examinations for San BernardinO.
 Notice has just been sent out from Washington that hereafter U. s. civil service examinations will be held in San Bernardino. This comes as a very welcome bit of news, not only to San Bernardino, Redlands, Cotton, River side, Highlands, Rialto, etc., but to the entire San Bernardino valley and most of Southern California, which had here. tofore been subjected to such inconveni- ence in the matter of civil service exam nations.
 For some time the San Bernardino Business College has made 8 specially of coaching for the civil service, being the only school of the kind in Califor- mia. Students who attend there will hereafter have the double advantage of being prepared and examined at the same place.
 Considering the shortness of time and smallness of expense of qualifying for this work, the good salaries paid aud constant demand for help, the wonder is that so few of our young people pre- pare for it. Only common school edu' cation is necessary.
 Anyone interested can doubtless gel full information by communicating with the San Bernardino Business College Of course no time is to be lost by those who would prepare for the fall examin' ations.

itor and it. neighbors in the St. Joe
and st. Regis river basins, the one
to the west and the other to the
east Of the Bitter Roots. They
would hardly embrace the copper
belt in the Stevens Peak district
between the headwaters Of the Occur
d'Alene and St. Joe rivers. Neither
would they include the vienna-In-
ternational and other mines and
prospects, many Of them most
promising, on Placer Creek south
of Wallace. They would not in
clude Pine Greek, west and south Of
Wardner, with the Nabob, Douglas,
Highland Chief, Surprise and many
other mines.
To the north the mineral indica-
tions do not stop at Murray. Camp
Columbus lies away beyond. The
limits Of the district in this direc-
ton are consequently just as inde-
terminate as in any other. Recent
discoveries, added to what has long
been known but unappreciated,
show that the mineral belt extends
northeast from both Burke and
Mullan much further than has
hitherto been considered possible.
In fact it is only now that a vague
appreciation Of the extent Of our
mineral resources is beginning to be
conceived. Hitherto our energies
have been devoted to prospecting
in the immediate vicinity Of a few
old and tried producers. The rest
of the district has not even been
scratched.
It can be confidently asserted that
the Occur d'Alene mineral belt of
which Wallace is the center, ex-
tends in every direction from this
city for at least 20 miles, and that
there is a strong probability that
some Of its biggest mines are not
yet even located.

statement. Daniel Guggenheim is
the greatest miner in the world"
The Guggenheims are not only min
Iers; they are great promoters on
Wall Street, and if, as the editor
says, they backed out Of the Nipis-
sing incident at loss Of 81, $780,
OOO.OO, it was not because they did
not have an opportunity to change
their loss into a gain Of much
greater amount. but because they
are different from the general run
lot men who operate on that famous
market. The veriest amateur in
stocks could point out how they
could have made more than 81, 500
luU.OO in profits instead of loss.
MIND YOU, ! am not saying that
they protitef or lost; ] aRa only
saying that their operations in that
stock gave opportunity for great
profits.
But is not the cry against the
Western Mining stock simply the
cry OF Wall Street? They see the
investor turning from the buying Of
margins to the buying Of westery
mining stocks. Now, the monen
spent for the speculative mining
stock does at least some good be-
cause at least percentage OF the
money is spent in actually develop
ing the property and is paid in
wages to the men who do the work,
and OF the money actually put into
the ground, great percentage is
returned in dividends. Will even
the editor OF this famous weekly
argue that the money spent in buy
ing margins on Wall Street ever did
anyone any good?
In Eastern Washington there is a
very famous wheat belt. The en-
tire value of the wheat crop of this
belt last, year was something like
S25, 600, 10000. The value Of the
metals mined from the Occur
d'Alene Mining District in North
ern Idaho alone during the same
year was over 1923, O0O, 10000. The
mines Of the Occur d'Alenes re-
turned in dividends to their stock
holders something over 81 100000
fet this same year and paid out in
wages to men employed in the camp
over Sc, 500, 10000.
In the face OF these facts, how
does the wall of the editor of Col
Tiers sound? Have you bought
mining stocks? Sell them" If
they are Occur d'Alene stocks, you
will have to sell quickly, or the
chances are that you will double
your money. 1t is easy to picture
the editor Of the famous weekly
dying Of heart failure at such re-
suit,

are as high ana r,rt hours of labor
~ short as in any other large min
ing camp in the United States.
sThese are the broad aspects Of
stAe situation to which the Miner
aims to draw the attention Of the
investing public from week to week.
1t proposes to show that here the
investor takes less chance Of losing
bis money than is usually the case
in mining investments, and that
here his success means as manifold
return Of his capital as he can &C.
cure anywhere. This condition Of
affairs will be exemplified from
week to week by object lessons
showing what has been and is being
done in the case Of individual prop
critics.

Concerning this property the state
inspector Of mines, Robert N. Bel,
in his annual report, says: The
stock of this mine was selling at
5 cents share three years ago, and
was recently quoted at "a, at which
figure it seems cheap with such an
enormous reserve of mineral blocked
out, and the eminent probability OF
the downward extension and en-
richment Of this great ore shoot at

The stock of the Stewart was SELL

81.
Tamarack & Chesapeake year
ago was selling at around 80 cents.
It is now selling at between 1915

The stock Of the Success mine
was unheard OF year ago and now

Another property which has qui-
city taken it's place among the ship

These wonderful advances in price
have been due, not to manipulation,
but to the fact that the properties
have got the ore.

dends on the common were at the
rate OF twenty per cent. per annum,
while the preferred is selling at
around $50. Since that time the
Federal Mining company purchased
the Morning mine near Mullan,
Idaho, for 50, 100000. They made
extensive improvements and equip
ments and have developed their va
rious properties to such an extent
that they now have a greater ore re-
serve blocked out than when they
purchased the properties. In addi-
ton to having expended this
amount OF money they have within
the past two years paid dividends
to the stockholders to the extent Of
$3,6SO,OO0. Their pay roll is over
5000 per day and they employ
about 1900 men.
A little over a year ago the stock
OF the Bunker Hill 4 Sullivan mine
near Wardner was selling at around
go per share. Since that time, in
spite Of a bad fire in one Of their
principal slopes which cut down
their dividend earning capacitysto a
great extent, the mine has paid to
its stockholders 81, SAC, 900. In ad-
dition to which they have developed

NEWS WITHOUT PREJUDICE

|
It will be the aim of the Miner
to publish each week the news, the
whole news and nothing but the
news Of the mines Of the Occur
d'Alene mining district. This news
will be published without fear OF
favor.
There will be no room in its col
umns for alleged news because some
interested party has offered to pay
for its publication in cash, stock,
advertising, job printing or in any
direct or indirect manner.
Any information which reaches
the Miner regarding any mine or
prospect in the district will, be con-
sidered solely in the light Of its
news interest. If it is real news it
will be published fully and freely.
If it is not real news it will not be
found in these columns at all.
If the Miner cannot be success
fully run on these lines it will go
out Of business, but it has no fear
OF such an outcome. 1t can truth
fully aver that there is very little
"wild-catting" in this country and
that there is a large, legitimate and
lusty mineral industry in which

SALUTATORY

With this issue the Wallace Miner
makes it's bow to the public. As a
reading Of it's initial number will
clearly indicate it's aim will be to
publish weekly, and as widely
as possible, all the news in any
way concerning the mining in
dustry Of the Occur d'Alenes. II
will not attempt to 60 further afeld
because Of the impossibility Of veri-
flying such news in advance Of pub
lication.
AS the Occur d'Alene district
ranks among the two or three great
est mining camps in the world it
will be the province Of the Miner
to record its general progress as we'll
as the development Of individual
mines and properties, to the end
that resident and nonresident
investors alike may always be fully
advised OF the condition of the
properties in which they may be
pccuniarily or otherwise interested.
The Miner believes firmly that
the record Of this district shows a
greater percentage Of successes than
any in the United States and it
fearless1y asserts that the district
has yet to record it's first failure.
In this respect the Occur d'Alene
country is unique among mining
camps.
