PROTECTING PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS.

The press generally is approving the
resolution of the Mining & Metallur-
gical society, demanding that the min
ing investors be protected The resolu-
tion follows:
Whereas. The generalization OF min
ing properties by investors and the
public. due to ignorance OF mining con-
ditions and a lack of appreciation of
the real nature of the investment.
tends TO increase unduly the profits of
mine promoters and spectators. and
TO increase unnecessarily the financial
risks taken by mine investors. TO the
ultimate disadvantage of the mining
industry.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of
the Mining and Metallurgical Society
OF America that. for the protection of
shareholders and investors, every
mining company should publish an an
nual report within ninety days of the
close of It's fiscal years, and such re-
port should incorporate the following

fighting and determined effort the bun

touchdown and later made the proper
