WORKING THE MINE OWNER
Engineer Says That Some Eastern
Banks Take Big Fees For
Examining" Mines

Anxiety OF western mine owners to
finance their projects has led lately to
the practice of a new system of wild

cording {, well known Salt Lake engi.
neer. who declares that the new schems
is to induce the mine owner to advance
large fee for examining his property
by experss, with no intention upon the
part OF those receiving it to ever give
any thing in return.
The engineer had Just received by mail
a proposal from an eastern agent to fur
nish a buyer for q we'll known Utah
mine, npon Ger tain conditions. The con-
dition upon which the greatest stress
was placed was that the owners of the
mine should pay for examination by q
well known expert, the taking it over
depending altogether upon his report.
"That reminds me, said the engineer,
"of an experience had not long ago,
when I went with a mine owner to
prominent banking house in an eastern
city to aid him in presenting his appli.
cation for financing a property When
we had been admitted to the privats Of

that department of the banks affairs,

"'Ah. you want to present mining

further. you had as well understand
that before we take up any thing of that
kind the sum of s., 900 must be deposited
in the bank to cover the cost of an ex-
animation by our expert, the amount to
be forfeited in the event that his report
is unfavorable.

under such condition he could not have
many mining propositions to consider
seriously, but he assured me that as

through his department.

from the United States to the State,

This Act was passed by Congress in
1894. but little attempt was made on the

Surveyor General Deadly took the matter
up and secured the passage Of an Act by

aud 10000 acres in the Las Vegas

General Deadly is encouraging the re-

Cries That Cannot Be Stifled

The men who still believe in thrones
and the divine rights of kings aud priests
had better study that history aud learn
the solemn truth, that where there is a
righteous cause in country for the
people to lift up their voices for more
freedom that cry cannot be stIlled by
the chill of the scaffold, nor the menace
of standing armies.
Russia, for century, has been kill
ing and banishing men and women for
crying out against the tyranny of the
rule which has benum bed the best ener
gies of their country. And it has but
resulted in making the ruler Of that
land prisoner in his own palace and
the million of armed men that stand
guard around bis throne cannot assure
his safety. Suppose different policy
had prevailed and the people had been
called upon to share in the responsible
ties of making the laws aud governing
the country, how magnificent an en-
pire would have been that of the Car
to-day? The same is true of Spain, and
it is most strange that those who rule in
those lands cannot see what must be
before real peace and safety and pros
perity can be assured, for the light from
our flag makes clear that the only safety
for nation to rest upon is the manhood
and womanhood that are developed.
when governments recoguiz, the fact
that all men are created equal and en-
dowed with certain inalienable rights.
among which are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
