Ed,toy7a1 Comment

that bring about the offering of devel- opment shares in mining companies. At least, they often assume an air of innocence whey then find that their anxiety to help develop mining prop erty was misplaced, and that, too, by no fault of the managers. It is per hsps only one aspect of human nature that we like to lay our losses upon the shoulders of someone else. We seem to think that it is the duty of the men with whom we deal to give us for tune. And the remarkable thing is, that this disposition always meets with individuals who are perfectly willing to promise everything, for supply will always conform to demand. The man who wants something for nothing will easily find the appearance of it, though it is very apt to turn out to be noth- ing for something.
 One difference between the usual method of Wall Street finance and that of the western mining stock company lies in this: Wall Street shares are commonly underwritten in advance of public participation. The funding of the enterprise is, as far as the eprpor ation is concerned. already completed when the securities are offered to the world. Inded, the corporation Is very apt to be on a self-sustaining basis and a dividend earner. Mining com pany finance is usually otherwise. The purchasers of treasury stock are them selves the underwriters. The enter prise is publicly financed, in tne strict, democratic sense. The mining venture approaches the public as a venture, and be it known that this is the req son why so many Americans prefer the mining offering to the underwritten shares that meet their eyes upon the daily quotation of slips of the great exchanges. Americans like to be their own underwriters.
 No legislation can ever put a stop to tns disposition.

CONDUCTING STATEHOOD INTO
 READY DUNGEON.

In the Las Vegas Optic we find the following, which was sent special to that paper from Washington the early port of the week:
 ''The house committee on territo- ries will, it is expected, report a bill giving statehood to New Mexico and Arizona. The house will pass t, ae- eOrding to present plans, and then the bill will enter Senator Beveridge s committee on territories, whence it is understood it won't emerge during the present session of congress. Not withstanding contrary reports that have been telegraphed out of Wash ington, these territories have no i'm mediate prospect of statehood. Such legislation is not on the senate calen- dar of things to be done.
 con the calendar are only the in dispensable things, and statehood, in the estimation of the Republican lead CTS, is not an indispensable thing. In- deed, they regard it as exceedingly and peculiarly dispensable. With the young Turks, as the nOn-confOrmist Republicans from the west have come to be known, demanding more recogni- tion and threatening to rebel against the oligarchy which orders all things in the senate, such men as Aldrich and Hale perceive nothing prudent in put ting four more westerners into the body just at this time. Indeed, it is a thing which they can defer with eOmplacency that would be admirable in better cause.
 "In consenting to let the bill pass the house, Speaker Cannon under stands that the bill is being personally conducted into a ready dungeon, ac. eording to current rumor. The only purpose to be subserved is the politi- cal welfare of Delegate W. H. An drews of New Mexico. The story here is that MT. Andrews is under suspic- ion at home of not being as entnusias- the and active in behalf of statehood as is desirable. The passage of this bill through the house will perhaps diseredit this malign suspicion.''
Weekly journal-miner., 1909-02-10
ABsURDITY OR INNOCENCE?

A bill that has recently been intro duced into the New York legislature Illustrates the innocent absurdity of the usual attitude of the east toward mining ventures. Prhaps it is not surprising, bcause persons who are re- mote fromm ming operations can hard ly be expected to understand its pro blems or properly analyze the evils that are foisted upon the public in the name of the industry. As we have before remarked, the east is just as apt to be as provincial in its criticism as it is 5n its mining stock investments.
 The measure in question seeks to amend the penal code of New York to prohibit the sale or offering for sale, within the state, of worthless shares or certificates in mining cor porations. Upon the face of it. how could anyone object to such prohi- bition? II is only when the puerile character of the proposed restriction is considered that its absurdity be comes appareEt. IL assumes that worthless mining stock offerings are common thing. wnich is just as far from the truth as the corresponding assumption that all securities are an imposition when they sell or are offer  ed for more than the event proves them to be worth. Evidently, ia the judgment of the legislator who fath- cred this bill, the stock buyer mas been defrauded when he finds himself un- able to sell at a price equal to, or better than. the amount paid by him.
 It seems impossible for some east erne1s to comprehend the conditions

WIDELY ATTENDED FUNERAL HONORS
 BURGETT
Floral Emblems Attest Great Popularity Of
 Young Man

Surrounded by his relatives and hundreds of his former friends, the re- mains of William L. Burgett were low cred into their last resting place in the Citizens cemetery Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock.
 The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in this city. The Catholic church. was crowded to overfowing, more than a hundred people being compelled to stand outside during the services. Every available light con veyanee in the city was in line in the funeral procession. Those unable to secure conveyanees crowded the two street ears while over two hundred walked to the cemetery to pay their last respects to the popular young man whose life was snuffed out while in the discharge of his duty as trainman in the Jerome Junction yards Wednes day night.
 The floral tributes were so many that the Ruffner funeral flower wagon made two trips to the cemetery. The designs were the most beautiful and appropriate ever seen at a local fu- neral.
 The employees of the s. F., P. & F., all of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen in the city and the local lodge of The Fraternal Brotherhood, in which he held membership, attend ed in body. Every member of the baseball association in the city was present, the Catholic Ladies' Aid So- eiety, as well as many of his aequain- tances from Ash Fork and other places.
 Rev. Father Mandin of the Catholic church conducted the obsequies.
