NINE PROMOTION.

/ Promotion, properly carried on, is a
necessary and legitimate part Of mining.
1t is unfortunate, but true, that mine
promotion offers an unusually attractive
field for the swindler A promoter must
be optimistic or he could not convince
anyone Of the value Of property as an
investment. Optimism is not dishonesty,
however. II a prospective investor would
exercise little common sense and use
ordinary good business judgment in max
ing an Investment in a mining company
the number Of victims taken in by dis
honest promoters would be surprisingly
reduced
1t is never safe to be off guard for a
moment. All extravagant stories should
be taken with the proverbial grain Of
salt" Highly colored word pictures
should be sufficient to- make one suspi-
cious. Although fabuIously rich mines
are possibilities, they are so rare that they
are not.commonly before the public in
search of financial support Wenot long
ago heard promoter telling of rich
district unknown to but one or two
men), where the rocks were yellow with
free gold, and he had the samples with
him to prove it. This region is not at
all what he represented it to be; had it
been, ne could have taken out gold
enough in day with a pick to have
financed good-sized company without
the necessity Of calling for outside aid.
No man of sound business sense would be
misled by such yarns.
A plausible story may be far from the
truth, so in any event the only safe course
is to make thorough investigation be-
fore investing. As most investors are
non-technieal men they should call into
consultation some reputable mining engi-
neer, who, by examining the property
will be able to report its probable true
worth, and to advise on the course to be
pursued in its development to paying
mine. In addition to having a good pro-
perty it is equally important to have on
the board Of directors men who are not
only competent to deal with financial
matters, but who have also a knowledge
Of mining. An incompetent directorate
can wreck company in short time by
ill-directed effort. Mining World.
