IlACI| the announcement by its state health
ES| officer of his determination to bar con-
sumptves from the Of Texas under the states quar-
antine regulations
Whether the discrimination announced will be
held constitutional when is brought before the Supreme
Court Of the United States, is question which
who isn't hrstclass trple-warraned prophet could be
expected to answer.
While tuberculosis is not one Of the diseases which
quarantineableo forge necessary adective-by order
Of the government, it is true nevertheless that the mmi
grafton regulations define to the public
health and therefore place it among those diseases the
possession Of which may keep immigrants from entering
the country.
Such being the case there is conflict Of authorities.
and seems possible that the an-consumpve position Of
the state health officer Of Texas may be sustained,
Leaving aside however the question Of Legality we'll
as that Of general humanity to the more locally
moral aspect Of the matter when ask:
Granting that consumption contagious, and granting
further that great many consumptives coming to
Texas year for year on Of its beneficial climate
the people Of Texas justified trying protect themselves
BY means Of the order under discussion against these
rers Of fell disease?
Ones FIRST impulse is reply in the affirmative, on the
ground that sef-preservaton is the first law OF nature
And second and third thought still hnd no valid
sentimental for the Reputation Of that hrst
impulse grounded on that FIRST law

earth penetrated by American men, The field occupied

Of need Of an organization that would combine the best

years there has been heavy demand for eks teeth from
members 81 the organization, and hunters Of the North
west have made regular business Of slaughterng the
animals mainly for their teeth, which commanded good
price solely because Of the fictitious estimate placed
them by the Elks' brotherhood. OF late months many
protests have been made against the wearing Of these
teeth and it is credtabe the members Of the orGanza

tors, by which we mean those who
have made millions, first carefully
selected their prospects, and in this
tedious preliminary work they fire
quently rejected what afterwards
in less cautious hands, proved to be
great producers, and then proceeded
patiently with their exploration
and development. If they got one
mine out Of every 10 good prospects
they were satisfied and they had
good reason to be. Investors in
speculative mining stocks should
initiate their example. In prospect
developing it is not safe rule to
have all one eggs in one basket.

MINES AND PROSPECTS

i What is a mine ? The simplest def
Iinition that we can suggest is /,
proven ore body that will repay
more than the cost of its develop
ment and production. The larger
the ore body the bigger the mine is
The greater the margin OF profits
the richer the mine is. A property
which will not repay the cost Of
development and production is moi
a mine. 1t is a hole in the ground
1t also leaves hole in somebody's
bank account.
A prospect is a mineral claim or
group of claims trayersed by one or
more lodges which probably contain
one or more shoots Of ore Of good
enough grade to repay development
and operation. Prospects are good,
bad and Indifferent. The good ones
have ore on the surface or other
strong surface indications of pay ore
at greater depth. They have a fair
chance of developing into mines.
The bad ones are mainly utilized as
a basis for wildcat promotions. The
indifferent ones sometimes prove
veritable bonanzas but more usually
they are snares and delusions.
Location on the same ledge as
proved mine, or even in the same
ore zone, is frequently all that a
prospect has to justify its title, but
this often turns out to he better
foundation on which to base pre-
liminary mining operations than a
promising ore showing in an un-
proved ledge.
There is consequently no, set rule |
by which to decide the value Of pro- |
,pects. Too many factors enter into |
The equation and individual judge /
nent must therefore govern. The
oest prospects require lots Of money
ind plenty Of faith, hope and pa
fence. Most Of them require in the
md more charity than anything else.

aWAsH" SALES

There were some unusually large
transactions in Reindeer stock dur
the past week. As, unfortunately,
there is pretty general impression
that one or two brokers are away
short" of this stock these trans
actions have given rise to a belief
that they were wash sales, that
is to say sham sales reported for the
purpose Of misleading the public
and inducing bona tide shareholders
to part with their holdings for much
less than they are worth.
The Miner is not in q position to
assert either that any or all Of these
were fakes or that they were not,
but it trusts they were bona fide
transfers. It also hopes that any
attempt to rig the market" after
such a fashion will be determinedly
frowned down by the brokers' asso-
citation. II this is not done the end
is certain. The board will lose the
confidence Of the public and the
reputable brokers will find them
selves compelled to organize another
stock exchange from which the fax
IRIS will be excluded.
A broker has unqucstionably the
same right to sell stock short" as
he has to buy stock long," but
the association should not and can
not afford to countenance any un-
derhand scheme to aid broker in
disseminating false information re-
garding any stock for the purpose
Of either raising or depressing the
price for his benefit and to the det-
riment OF the general public.
Since the above was written the
brokers' association has held a meet
ing at which the transactions above
referred to were discussed. Two
members who were responsible for
some Of the sales insisted that they
had acted in good faith and the
matter was dropped after a general
Of opinion that somebody !
had acted improperly. A. resolu-
ton was carried that is aimed to
prevent recurrence of the episode. |
1t provides that no larger block of
any stock than a board lot may be
offered except by unanimous con-
sent.

opinion. They are both good buys,

better speculation. Why not buy

OUR ADVICE TO INVESTORS

In our last issue we told our read.
ers that now was the Nighttime te
invest in Occur d'Alene stocks and
we specially recommended Bullion,
Idora, Copper King, Rhode Island,
Reindeer and Nine Mile as unusu-
ally safe speculations. To that list
we would this week add West Nine
Mile for the same reasons that we
named the others.
We are convinced.that all Of these
stocks were and are intrinsically
worth more than they were then or
or are now selling for. Besides this
each Of these properties, with the
possible exception of Reindeer whose
deep development will require much
time and money, has reached a
stage in its development where a
sharp appreciation in its value must
come before long. We expect to see
all OF them selling for three or four
times their present price within a
few months though some Of them
have made material advances in the
past week.
Surprising that one of our read
ers had taken our advice and, not
putting all his eggs in one basket,
had bought 1000 Of each stock
week ago, let us see how his invest
ment would stand today. His out
lay would have been approximately
1857 20 as follows.

MARINE

The bark Adderly, which has been in
the harbor since the 21st ultimo, sails
this morning for Vancouver.
The naval tug Iroquois. which has
been at san Francisco. undergoing re-
pairs at Mare Island, returned to her
station here yesterday morning shortly
after midnight. Her run down was an
exceptionally good one and the little
vessel arrived here a full day before
she was expected by the authorities at
the naval station.
The Dimensions of the British steam
ship Scottish Monarch, the model
tramp, are given by Captain Dover as
follows: length, 400 feet: beam, 81 feet;
depth of hold, 30 feet; gross tonnage,
5043; speed. II knots. The Scottish
Monarch will sail for Newcastle on
Wednesday or Thursday next and will
return to Honolulu as soon as she can
get dispatch from the Australian port
The date Of her probable return will be
the end of next month. Captain Dow
er. who is Of the best type of the sea-
faring Scotchman, has made many
friends in Honolulu and says that he
is looking forward to a longer stop here
on his next call
An effort is to be made by some of the
principal firms of the islands interested
in the shipping industry to have the
revenue cutter Manning retained on the
station instead of being despatched to
guard the seals in Behrlng sea, or at
the worst to have her replaced here by
another government vessel. 1t is point
ed out that the Manning has been Of
the greatest use here in the several
cases OF grounded vessels, the assist
ance OF the vessel having been in these
instances prompt and effective. In
this work Captain Joynes has proved
his great worth to any shipping com.
nlunity and has been found at all times
ready TO do MS utmost. although no
hopes Of salvage were before him.
