and who have not taken the pains to
discriminate.
Nor do the metals get it all. A
few years ago Iron Ore warned the
public to go slowly on the Texas oil
Rotations. Agents were in this
regiou selling shares, and they took
away with them a lot of good money.
Not a single one of these f1otations.
has returned a penny to those who
invested from this section. And
other places contributed just as
literally as did this community.
A few weeks ago the Arizona press
was full of the wonderful riches of
a new camp, Sylvanite, that was
showing gold as had none other pro-
ductive of the precious metals. We
advised the people to take a good,
hard look before biting. Of course
some of the newspapers of the
section came at us with teeth barred
and making very ugly faces, but you
are not reading a word of Sylvanite
now? 1t was a great big fake that
had the support of certain newspa-
pers that tell us a shot at any por-
ton of Arizona is a volley at the en-
tire territory, or, in other words, no
criticism of any fraud, no matter how
rank and criminal, will be tolerated.
Pretty rotten condition of things, we
call it. The public must be feeced
because the fraud exists in Arizona.
Very naturally, the public become
suspicious of anything that charac-
ter of newspaper presents. There's
no way of telling, from their columns
which are the fakes, SO the public
makes a broad guess and puts down
the most of them in that column. II
there was an honest criticism OF
the rank things it would be a lot
better for the mining industry of the
territory.
Same can be said of Montana that
applies to Arizona only the Montana
press uses better judgment and will
occasionally show up a fraud when
it knows it exists.
But the public Is learning. The
stock promoters are not finding the
easy money that was so good a crop
a few years ago. There was so
much Misrepresentation that it has
hurt the professional gambling busi-
ness in mine shares and now we find
many fotations advertised as the
greatest things in the earth going
begging. A time is set for the clos
ing of the subscription books, and
press notices say the stock is going
| like ice cream on a hot July day,
but we find many of the new things
fall through from lack of support
Just the same, which leads us to be-
lieve that the people are getting a
bit wise to the Vaccinations of the
smooth gentlemen who have been
picking up a very cas- living buying

CARELESS of consequences. Millions
have been squandered in this reckless
fashion, many homes wrecked, many
little fortunes swept away in a day.
We hear about the successes but
very little of the losses. A man is
pretty apt to seek, to cover up his loss
account because it reflects discredit
upon his judgement. But If he wins
he likes to do a bit of growing and
to impress his neighbor with his SUI
perior c~learness of vision, COM
mercially.
The majority are taking their
medicine philosophicalIy and in
wardly promising themselves that in
the future they will stick to the
things that have some tangible assets
in property and men. Compared with
the total number of new mining en-
terprises the successes are very few.
The average would not be one in a
thousand, probably. We read that
mining is paying handsomely, and
this is true of the legitimate under
taking, but losses VIZ have no means
of knowing. There is no account
kept of them, as statistics give only
little information on the subject.
The dividend paying mines are easily
kept track of, and the addition to
their numbers is small compared to
the number of organizations engaged
in trying either legitimately or Grim
inally.
OF the failures the gold properties
record the most in the general
metal line. Gold has great attrac-
ton. it being money, purely and
simply. Thousands of f1otations are
presented every year that are not
heard of in the next. People have
contributed a vast treasure to this
line of exploring. Quartz and placer
ground has been presented with the
same old stories in connection and
they have seldom failed of bringing
in a pot full Of money from those

quality, or it's character. Men are
robbed of many millions every month
by schemers engaged In stock SELL
ing. Everyone knows about 1t, and
the newspaper that has the courage
to state things plainly has a place in
the country regardless of how the
feeling of a few fellows with a per-
sonal interest may be %wrenched. 1t
is better they fail than that thou
sands may be robbed of money they
have worked years to saw
1t is a good sign that the people
are looking more closely into the
stocks that are presented than for
merry. The poor ones hurt them
financially. They also interfere with
the operations of the legitimate con-
Germs, and they also injure the good
name of a district that may be
trembling in the balance.
1t pays to go a bit slowly. This is
a big country and all the good things
have no yet been discovered. One
need not fear this is his last oppor-
tunity. 8,. : H.l

4 There isn't the rush for new mine
I flotation stock that has character
lied the local markets for several
years past. There has been SO much
fire and so many people have been
scorched that a more conservative
view of mine shares is now being
taken by those people who have a bit
of money to invest and who incline
to the mining industry. The success
of the few properties Is always an
incentative to find others of like
kind, and the average mortal feels
like trying, many fearing they may
miss a good one. It's human nature
to want to take chances, but there
has been a wildness concerning the
speculation little short of a mania,
and money has been thrown in re-

IN A BATH TUB

L
With the arrival In Fairmont Of
Mr.. Wi IL Irons from Denver, CO..
with tho remains OF his brother-ia-
law. clyde d. Carpcater. came us
details of the horrible death which
hefel the young man, says the Times
Of that place Mr.. Irons reached
homo with the body and related
the circumstances connected with to
death.
Carpenter WAS eiee,rocuted while
bathing In room in the Amerl.a.
Hotel i'm Denver. where n had boon
for short tiuhe. A severe storm
occurred in Denver on "Wednesday
evening or last week. and Il is pre-
sumed that the young man came TO
his death at that time, caused by a
short circuit in the eeetric wires
which reached the bath room IN
which he was at the time. AZ least
that is the version Of those who ex-
aminei the body, after IL was found
the following morning. Thursday, ~
ing cold and st'n In pool of water
in the bath tub. with the palm of
one hand burned and scared. asd
the imprint or the screws OF the
electric light socket thereon.
II was the general opinion of he
physicians and electricians who OK
amined the body that the light had
suddenly gone off I'm the bath room
and that the young man had reachct
from the bath tub 30 the eleo 4 &
light socket. in an effort to turn Il
on again. In doing so the shock was
so great that death was instantqne-
ous. 1t Is no. thought that the cur-
rent would have been strong enough
TO kill the young man had he not
been standing in the water IN the
bath tub.
The discovery was made by the
proprietor and a bel boy of the ho-
tel, who had gone to she room to in
vetigate after finding the door closed
for m unu ualIy long time, and get
liBg 80 response they entered and
found the unfortunate young man
wing dead in the bath tub half filed
w.th water.
Carpenter was aged % years and
waH a te egraph operator He had
located at Denver just few days
before his death occurred.
