cEPTED A MORE LUCRATIVE

tenn, has rendered his resignation, ef-
fective not later than October 10.
This fact became known yesterday,

tive position as travelling representa-
tive Of a metre manufacturing con-
Germ He has had this offer under
consideration for some time and de-
cided recently that he would prefer It
to being superintendent of the water
works apartment of the city.
Mr.. Pitt served the city well dur
ing the period that he has held the

be numerous applications for the job
It is in time of sudden mishap or
accident that ChamberIain's Liniment
can be relied upon TO take the place

never found wanting. In cases OF
sprains, cuts, wounds and bruises
Chamberlain's Liniment takes out the
soreness and drives away the pain.

MINES NOT oAMDLR
BUT INVESTMENT
(from Fridays Daily

George ID. Stouestreet, in the En-
cheering and Mining Journal, says:
To many laymen the idea Of invest
ing in mines seems 10 suggest gam
bling, and not legitimate business.
Many conservative bankers and staii
old business men politely and firmly
show the mining promoter the door,
and would never allow their names 20
be attached TO any investment where
mining il undertaken as a source Of
revenue. From their point Of view
such men are correct enough in pro-
nouncing mining a gamble, and in tho
DAYS before the advent Of trained
mining engineers, they were justified
in refusing TO look upon mining as
an investment. II was usual, twenty
years ago, and even now to a smaller
extent. 10 promote mining prop
erty by speeious advertisement, un-
Trustworthy reports by alleged ex'
perts and by the sale Of stock many
times below par value. While il is
true that some mines 80 promoted
have succeeded, they have done 70 IN
spite Of their promotion and manage
ment, but ninety nine per cent Of sueh
promotions usually fail, and proper
~ NO.
The education Of the public on min
ing matters in important from two
viewpoints; W That gambling in
mines may be stopped. and vast sums
Of money saved from going into the
pockets Of INSCRIPTIONS promoters
(2) that the public be instructed In
careful upto. date methods Of investi
eating prior to making investment
That such investment can really be
called such is well proved fact "a
day. An mining engineer Of standing
in the financial world signing a Sc
port upon mine in favorable terms
has the effect Of engaging the atten'
ton Of capital in an investment "a
the extent Of any number Of millions
which may he required.
Should plain John Smith sign q
good report upon mine, his name
carrying no weight, would have no Of
feet on this class of investors, and
ranging between the engineer Of In
ternational mining fame and skill and
