thinking, and he cannot metamor-
phose a speculation into an invest
ment by make-believe.
A striking example is available.
When the gold-bsaring banket Of the
Rand was sampled and tested. when
the ore bodies at johannesburg had
been measured and assayed, when
the metallurgical reduction OF the
ore had been decided upon, 1t was
stated. confidently. by many first-rate
engineers, and by more promoters,
that here at last we had gold veins
that were regular as coal seams and
mining enterprises that we're as safe
as British Consols or United States
bonds. So there was a boom; this
was in 1895 and at recurrent inter-
walls in later years. The shares Of the
mining companies went kiting, ma
turally, for they were capitalized on
earnings estimated. at 20 to rs per
cent. and when the public had been
filled with ideas OF safe investment,
of sure thing. of form Of gold
mining the like Of which the world
had never seen, they naturally
thought that a return OF or per
cent was enough. Capitalists and
their followers talked Of amortiza-
ton; actuaries' tables were brought
into service; the incest kind OF elab-
crate calculations were made of the
life Of the mines, Of their ability to
repay the capital invested. and OF
furnishing the required interest on
the investment" Investment, OF
course, no more OF your silly gam
bling In American or Canad-
ian mines; in South Africa
they had the real thing, beyond a
peradventure. 1t was as good as the
Bank of England, and more profit
able. And the sequel; need we tell

vestment Is the laying out OF money
productivity, especially In a perma-
nent manner In the first emphasis
Is on the idea OF riskiness and large
gain; In the second, the emphasis Is
on prOductiveness and permanency.
To make the distinction clear and
brief, II may be said that a specula-
ton is the temporary use OF money
for large gain, which involves COM
mensurate risk; while an investment
Is permanent placing OF money at
a small interest, which promises a
correspondingly less chance of losing
the principal. Now, we do not lay
stress on the riskiness OF mining or
the impermanence OF 1t save as 1t
balances the large gain to be made
by the judicious use OF knowledge
and experience. Surely 1t will do no
harm to recognize the essential facts
pertaining to the industry in which
we are all so keenly interested. Shall
we live in fools paradise and call
a mine that fluctuates In value from
day to day. that may be worth either
ten times as much year hence or
one tenth its present valuation, that
may suffer from fire, from creep,
from flooding, from sudden change
In the ore, from any one of the many
vicissitudes incidental to such enter
prises-shall we call 1t an invest
ment' and insist that 1t has fixed
value, superior to the vagaries OF ore
deposition, the chances OF manage
ment, or the tyranny of nature? II
we do prefer to shut our eyes to
facts, we shall do as others have
done, and do, continually. Men think
all men mortal but themselves: they
regard all mines as likely to peter
out but their own. So they get nasty
jars, and lose money, and swear that
mining Is needless gamble. That Is
the other extreme. You con make 1t
a gamble by disregarding all the pre-
cautions that make 1t sane specu-
lation, but, we Insist, a man cannot

In our last issue a reader took ex-
ception to certain statement OF ours
in which we had said that mining
was a sane speculation or silly
gamble. but never an investment. At
about the same time an experienced
mining engineer happened, In con-
versation. to express regret that any
thing so sweeping should have been
said in print. because 1t was true
painfully true--and calculated to do
harm to legitimate business. To this
we demur. frankly and cheerfully;
the economics of mining is a study
based upon scientific investigation,
therefore the recognition Of the truth
cannot be injurious; on the contrary,
nothing is so harmful. so utterly de-
structive, a. make believe--the ac-
ceptance Of things as they are not.
Mining IL based on the application Of
science to industry, not upon the util-
ization Of imagination In promotion
or Of fancy to finance: therefore. the

FRANK BESCHER IS
SERIOUSLY INJURED
Young Man Was Caught by a
Cut of Cars on the c.,
c., & L. Railroad.
ESCAPE is VERY NARROW,
MORTIFIED SPECTATORS WERE
SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THE
LAD WAS STILL ALIVE AND
CONSCIOUS.

Frank Bescher, the fourteen year-old
son of Balthasah Bescher, boiler max
er, at Gaar, Scott & Company's plant.
and who was narrowly defeated at the
last republican primaries for the nom
ination for city clerk. was run down
this morning about IL 80 O'Clock. and
perhaps fatally hurt by cut of cars on
the c., G. & l.. The accident occurred
at the crossing between the c.. C. & l..
freight and passenger stations. Young
Bescher is now at the Reid hospital and
every effort is being made to save the
life of the badly mangled boy.
This morning Mrs. Bescher prepar-
ed her husbands lunch, placed 1t in the
dinner pail and gave it to Frank SO
that he could take it to his father at
the Gaar-Scott shops. As the boy was
crossing the c.. c. & L. tracks. a cut
OF cars backed in on him, knocking
him under the wheels Several horri-
fled spectators shouted to the engineer
of the switch engine to stop. He in
stantly applied the brakes and several
men ran to the rescue of Bescber.
He was pulled out from underneath
the foremost car and much to the sur
prise of everyone he was found to be
alive and conscious. One arm was
found to be crushed, a knee badly man
gled and across the back of the head
there is deep wound. Bescher was
very cool and plucky. He complained
mostly of pain in his back and it is
feared that the spine has either been
broken or severely injured.
Drs. Grant and Kinsey were summon
ed and DIR. Grant accompanied the in
Jured lad in the ambulance to Reid hos
pital. Bescher is still alive. but ow-
ing to the condition he is now in il is
difficult for the attending physicians
to learn the full extent and seriousness
of his injuries
