APPEAL OF THE MINE

Guides That Should BE FOIlO7ced by
Those Tempted to Unrest.

As long the allurng prospect !; pre- 'nted to
investors Of buying mining stocks at a few cents

this form OF venture will make its successful
plea to persons with speculative appetites in this
direction
In most cases il Is the smallness OF the stake
as much as the numerous authen Gated
stances OF vast gain accruing that lends strength
10 the attractivenes5 OF mining securities. One
class OF mining stocks in particular carries its
own best advertisement In the produc: which il
represents-namey. the gold mining issues.
Gold IS the lure that has for centuries inspired
pioneering and led 10 opening up 10 commerce
and settlement hitherto unknown regions and
countries Gold attracted the Spaniards and the
Portuguese navigators TO the east and the west

and the Indies 20 the realms OF the monarchs

ever been terms 20 conjure with
The glamour Of the splendid aura Of yellow
that cnvoloped the successful "Argonauts" who
invaded California in 49 glows as brilliantly
and fascinatingly il did then. Thrifty
hoarders OF hard dollars, with the dazzling
ly romantic tales Of fabulously rich strikes"
possessing their dreams and their waking hours
have yielded up their savings for gold mining
stocks when government bonds would not have
attracted them. The mystery OF delvIng in the
earth and the uncertainty Of what may be found
there also have their part in making mining for
silver. copper iron and lead as well gold. a
species Of gaming without cards or dice, with
all the excitement and uncertainty attending
the ultimate outcome. as if it played with

TRANSACTIONS on CURE.

Nearly forty-two million shares Of mining
stocks were dealt In on the New York curb
market last year. What percentage Of gain or
loss to the purchasers these transactions repre-
sented cannot, Of course be known. II IS an
open question il the ratio Of proportion Of gain
or loss to the investors in mining stocks would
vary greatly from that which attended specuIa-
tiOn in the listed securities OF the Stock Ex-
change
In considering the measures OF self f-protection
which the investor in mining stocks may throw
about himself to insure against putting his
money into many OF the wildcat" schemes that
are numerously exploited. one Is brought to
the conclusion that the same general rules an
ply which should govern investment in rail-
road or other securities. Broadly these resolve
themselves into n question Of dealing with a
reputable house and satisfying ones self as to
what is back Of the stock and who are the men
interested in promoting the property This in
formation is readily available II one chooses TO
seek IL.
Probably three -fourths Of the investors in
mining stocks have their attention directed tow
ard some particular shares through newspaper
advertisements. 1t is well to consider carefully
the medium in which the advertisement an
pears. There are newspapers in New York and
other cities which will not accept the adver-
tising matter OF mining promoters unless they
are first convinced that the enterprise is meri
torious and that the men who are advancing II
are of good repute and financial standing So
I'm the beginning, il is well to scrutinize the
newspaper and its character as closely as ono
does the mining scheme itself
PROPOSITIONS WORTH ATTENTION
An authority on mining, DR. Francis g Mich
olas. has said: "Of thin, a person NAV be
absolutely sure-nO mining proposition can be
offered which Is not worth investigating; and
IL one but investigates wisely and selects de-
sirable propositions. will becoE:e reh
through successful mining investments"
In his Investigations the prospective investor
should examine the history and original reports
OF the property by the engineers or geologists
who inspected it, In the lack of such report he
may very profitably drop the matter without
bothering himself further, for this argues that
the proposition is not safe.
A comparison OF the cost Of development up
% date with that OF some known successful
mining property will show il the cost is in ex-
cecs of what ii should be when compared with
results If the discrepancy is not too great IT
may be accounted for the principle that a
new mine cannot be so economically or sys-
conducted a property OF older de-
gelOpment.
The worth of the property as its stands, not
considering its prospects or alleged producing
power. should be considered. Estimates may
usually be obtained by correspondence with
bankers or reputable authorities In the section
where the mine is located and finding out how

AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR THE
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Editor Herald:
In case it works out as designed 1t
will cement two great cities together
with concrete pavements and beau
tiful asphalt boulevard. 1t will also
connect the two cities with an imme-
date electric railway and bring about
a general reconciliation for our entire
county. Here is the idea suggested
by a number of our leading citizens.
Buy the 1876 acre Everett farm 8 miles
out on the Mt Pleasant pike including
the lawn with eighty large forest
trees.
The L. & N. r. R. Co. has agreed to
nut a station on their road in the rear
of this farm in case this deal goes
through. The locating of the Normal
School will bring about the other i'm.

there were ninety-nine days on which

numerous days when less than the

A point of law that has never been
passed upon by the supreme court of
Illinois arose in the case. 1t is
whether or not a railroad company is
bound to furnish as many cars day
to coal mines as it has the mine rated
for. This Mulberry Hill company

Somehow the impression has gone
forth that Mrs. Taft's secretary is un-
attractive and of middle age. On the
contrary, Miss Blech is most attractive
looking and is in the early twenties.
She has smooth brown hair and al.
ways wears neutral shades or white,
which throws 1t into beautiful con-
trast.
Miss Blech has mastered seven lam
guages. Probably the one thingh which
attracted Mrs. Taft to her was the fact
that she was told that the young wo-
man was thorough pianist, having
won much applause in the local mu-
sical circles.
Miss Blech has filled difficult role
most successfully and has made her
self favorite, not only at the White
House, but in official circles general
ly, by her efficiency. tact and diplo-
macy.
Tall, slender, quiet and reserved,
Miss Blech has a charming manner,
and delightful personality, which
have won for her a host of friends.
She is well known to Mrs. Roosevelt

whom have shown an interest in her

Miss Blech usually arrives at the
White House at nine o'clock in the
morning, and with Mrs. Taft goes over
the correspondence, takes dictation
and receives such instructions as the
wife of the president may have for
her. Her duties are not heavy, and
