DEAL MINING.

Whenever some palpable fake in min
ing promotion costs the public money
the eastern newspapers jump on it with
bowls of joy and proceed to demon
strate that all mining business is
fraudulent and everybody who invests
in mines a sucker. 1t is worth noting.
too. that these same newspapers and
publications carefully avoid any con-
spicuous notice of a promotion like the
original Tonopah company when it
shows how richly a conservative mine
investment can pay.
The annual statement of this COM
pany-which, by the way, is controlled
in quiet old NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that
on capital of 1000, 900, the property
has been paying over 100 per cent in
annual dividends, and has now in
creased its dividend rate to $780, 900 a
quarter. or at the rate of $4,000, 900 a
year. just 200 per cent on the capital
stock.
of course, part of this is earned by
railroad and other properties, but the
mining operations of the company alone
show earnings of over $1,000, 600, and
the output is to be increased. The COM
S29, with large ore reserves in the mine
which are quite as substantial as dol
lars in the bank. If any effort were
made to establish a record it is believed
Inv insiders that fhe dividend rota oo,,Id
be doubled easily. Altogether. aside
from its ore blocked out, the company
has assets valued at nearly So, 900, OOO
and liabilities apart from capital that
amount to about one-fifth the assets.
If any industrial stock listed on the
New York stock exchange made a
showing one-tenth as good, the whole
of Wall street would be touting it as
phenomenon, the owners would water
the stock for about $4,000, 900, the dis
patches would be full of its perform
ances and it would be pointed out as an
example of conservative, safe invest
ment. Being a Nevada mine, however,
its performance is passed with a para
graph and the space available for real
news is filled with tales of wildcats
and their victims.
There are few Tonopah mines any,
where; but every westerner knows Of
instances where mines have demon
strated just as completely the possibili-
ties Of big returns for capital. The old
Ontario, the Daly-West, the Silver
King, the Daly-Judge at Park City; the
big properties of Tintic, the copper bo-
EanZas of Bingham-all here in Utah,
have made fortunes for the men who
had nerve enough to develop them and
invest in them.
Half dozen properties in Nevada are
making Salt Lakers rich; the whole
nation is prof1ting by the increased out
put of gold and silver, lead and copper
in Utah and Nevada, all because the
west. aided by the shrewder eastern
capitalists, is reducing mining to a
business science. The wildcat mine
will flourish in the sagebrush almost as
we'll as the industrial wildcat does in
the effete east; but the substantial
earnings of properties like the Tonopah
are making eastern men realize the
possibilities of big profits on mines that
are developed properly and managed
wisely.

uANSoN'S FAILURE.

What amounts to an abandonment of
the prosecution of George Sheets, chief
of police, marks the end of a legal
struggle which reflects anything but
credit on the county attorneys office.
The proceedings have been SO varied
and tedious. that the public has lost
track of the steps leading up to dis
astrous failure; but it has a distinct
recollection of the facts underlying the
charges against Sheets. and will al
ways wonder how, the most ingenious
bungler could have made so miserable
a failure as County Attorney Hanson
has.
From the time Sheets was first ar
raigned to the final stage when Judge
Armstrong dismissed the complaint n
his court because it was imperfectly
drawn. not one stage of the proceed
ings has scored a victory for the prose-
cution. With a confession from me of
the alleged conspirators as a basis for
his case; with the testimony of the Nc
Whirters at hand, with the whole pow
er of the county behind him and ample
funds for the production of evidence,
the prosecuting officer has permitted
himself TO be blocked and thrown out of
court until he has virtually surrendered
aud admitted the hopelessness of fur
Their action.
To the public this failure is a great
disappointment, because it was anx-
ious to get at the facts and have the
courts declare directly whether Sheets
was innocent or guilty of the grave
charges made against him. That ques-
ton has not been decided in any of the
court actions, and there is little pros
pect now that it will ever be decided
by the courts. All that is certain in
the- public mind is that Sheets is not
a proper person to be chief of police,
and that Willard Hanson has proven
himself unfit TO conduct so important a
case for the state.
From both of these conclusions there
is no escape. Sheets is either too innO-
cent to be entrusted with the guardian
ship of the citys population and prop
erty, or he has been compromised in
public opinion by the association of his
name With the McWhirter case. Han
son. with every facility for conducting
the investigation and trial of Sheets,
has failed utterly to get into court,
much less to present the facts in a
conclusive WAY
