There Is probably no business on
earth that can show a greater waste of
money than mining. The reason for this
Is that mining is highly profitable when
properly and honestly carried on. 1t
may be stated as Al axiom that the
more successful a business Is the more
fakes there are in it. but mining has
rather more than it's share. The variety
of the swindles and the credulity Of the
dupes is astonishing.
There is the man who salts his mine
and sells 1t for a big price. There is
the dishonest mining engineer who
makes false reports on properties. Then
there is the hot-air promoter, who
hypnotizes the public into buying stock
in a mining ompany that has nothing
back of 1t but a brilliant recital Of pos
sibilities. AS bad as these are the in
competent board of directors. which,
ever with a good property, will make q
failure by pool management.
AS Ions as mining Is carried on there
will probably be a good deal of money
thrown away on it. The amour of this
waste could be very much reduced II the
investors wou use ordinary good bust
ness sense. The property should first
be thoroughly investigated by expert
mining engineers, who are known to be
reliable, in order to find out II the min
eral Is there; and, If 1t Is there, to de-
termine the best way to get 1t out. Re-
liable engineers will not be easily de-
ceived by s~alters. and the high priced
man Of standing will probably be cheap
er in the end than a less expensive one
who has not had the proper experience
and training.
The makeup Of the board Of directors
is Of greatest Importance. 1t should
consist of men who have good business
judgment and who will not go ahead
blindly.
The development should be entrusted
to an experienced engineer, and the
manager should not be q promoter. Nc
method of treatment should be decided
upon without first making tests on the
ore on a sufficiently large scale to give
results that can be expected in practice
| When experiment has shown what treat
| ment is best, that treatment should be
adopted.
1t is due to the neglect of these I'm
portant points that has brought ruin tc
| many investors. There are other con
| s~iderations that should be taken into &C
count also, but those mentioned are
perhaps. the most important.
The fact that II takes money to de.
velop a mine should not be lost sight Of
| Dividends seldom come at once. The
| old adage. BE sure o are right. ther
go ahead" never applied with more
force thai in mining. and II needed will
save. and make, the money.-Ores and
