WHAT IS A WILDCAT miNE7

Some of the Arizona newspaper; have taken up again the subject o
 mine swindles, and are advocating strongly enactment of legislation placing in the criminal category those mine promoters who deal in wildcat" mining schemes. Now that sounds we'll, but it will not be so simple proposition to accom- plish as the newspaper agitators for such legislation seem to believe In the first place there will be a necessity for definition that will answer the question which is the caption of this article: What is a Wildcat Mine?" Some of the best paying mines now in opera ton were classed as wildcats" at some time in their history. In Bisbee the geologists and experts of the Copper Queen Company maintained stoutly for years that the ground outside of their own holdings was worthless. Yet there were those who believed otherwise
 Finally men with vast experience in deep mining and the money to prove their theories took hold of one of the properties adjacent, and they proved that the ore bodies in Queen ground extended into the outside territory. Before encoun- tering the ore body they sank a thousand feet; but they made the Calumet < Arizona, with its record of production of refined copper in 1906 reaching the very handsome aggregate of 25,000,000 pounds. The promoters did not do it all with their own money by any means. They offered their stock to the public and sold many shares. Those who had the nerve to buy made fortunes. Yet until they did reach those ore bodies at that great depth their proposition was wild cat pule and simple. Had their theories proved chimerical and they had failed to find the predicted ore bodies law such as is urged now would have consigned the promoters to a penitentiary. In the immediate vicinity some other mines which were sunk upon with the same theory have proved fail ures, and those investing have lost their money. Yet their work was done in good faith. But it realized
 nothing. The ore bodies did not reach far enough in their direction
 to fit the theory that proved so true on the Calumet & Arizona fide. Yet would it be just to put under the ban of criminal punish ment the men whose calculations went astray so far? The two in- stances cited go to show that there is but one way to determine wheth- CT a mine is really wildcat" or
 no: and that is to go down and
 learn. That's all there is to that.
