Legitimate Stock Selling.

The following extract taken from the
Mining World and written by Francis G.
Nicholas, pertaining to the legitimacy of
stock selling, is well worthy of more than
passing thought, and is reprinted here
for the benefit of Nuggets many readers,
most of whom are more or less interested
in mining:
That corporation is a legitimate prop
osition is not to be denied. To say that
only those who are wealthy, and who
have money to put into mines are capable
of entering into the business is ridiculous.
Legitimate enterprise in mining is to be
commended, and to ask properly for CO.
operation from investors is worthy of so
excellent cause as mining. It is re-
cognized fact that the man who operates
a mine is a public benefactor, for with
out the mines we would not exist. Min
ing and agriculture are really the princi-
pal producers, and to say that one great
division of industry on which the whole
world depends should be in any way
checked or retarded is grave thing, and
those who make outcry against mining
because so much abuse has developed in
it do wrong. 1t is right that people should
invest in mining stocks, but it is also
right that those who offer stocks for sale
should make their offerings on a just
basis.
The proper way to present minin e
proposition is to offer it under a syndicate
organization, and with plan of subscrip-
/ ton by which those who come in are
obligated only on condition that enough
money is raised to see the work through,
and put the mine in condition to be-
come productive. Money is lost in min
ing, not because the mines are bad, but
because the people who go in it do not
have sufficient money to carry the opera
tions to a successful termination. A great
mistake is to start work before enough
money is secured to see the operations tc
a successful termination, and excepting

Tuesday.
Silver City Miners Union No 66, W..
F. NJ, is going to give free farewell
dance and supper at lower masonic on
next Wednesday evening, August 81.
1t is earnestly hoped that as many as can
possibly attend, will do so. Everything
is free for nothing at all and it wont cost
you cent. The occasion being the
abandonment of Silver City Miners I'M

body welcome.
Registration for the primary election
closes Saturday night, August 27. All
who desire to vote mnst register. Regi
stration for any previous election does
not count. An entirely new registration
is required. The primary election is fully
as important as the general election, be-
cause the kind of men chosen to fill the
offices shapes the policy and determines
the efficiency of government. So do not
let this opportunity to have hand in
shaping affairs pass unheeded.
What proved to be rather expensive
fishing trip, was experienced by two
young DeLamar gentlemen, last Sunday,
Happy Jack and William Langford
when in hitching the team before the
wagon they hooked the reins where the
traces ought to be. They left their team
standing in this manner while they both
went just across the way to wet their
whistles. Upon their return they found
that the team had run away, breaking
the tongue on the rig and otherwise dis
turbing the peace in that peaceful neigh
borhood. Fortunately the horses came
out of it without scratch, but the lesson
taught the two gentlemen will cost them
about SIS.

THE PAUPER.

The Pauper group, which is owned and
being operated by R. H. Leonard, Jr.,
of this place, is causing considerable COM
plimentary remarks to be expressed about
this property. 1t has been reported here
that Mr.. Leonard has struck some very
rich ore, which report has been confirmed
by several of our old time mining experts
who have been up there and seen the
rock. One of our oldtimers went as far
as to say that he would wager any man
in town that it would assay 5000 to the
ton at the least. The property carries a
vein consisting of quartz and decomposed
granite in granite formation. The prop
erty lies just south of the old Poorman
mine and over 1000 feet of development
work has been done it.
Nugget congratulates Mr.. Leonard over
his rich strike which we hope will bring
him snug fortune as a reward for his
untiring efforts.

Judge Willard White has had prepared
and is distributing in the interests Of his
candidacy for Secretary of State, pam
phlets calling attention to the platform of
personal principles upon which he stands.
Among other things he says:
'tYou are doubtless aware that | have
made an announcement of my candidacy
for secretary of state which will in any
event test the fact whether or not our
new primary law will prove of value only
to those possessed of a long pocketbook.
| shall live up to the letter and spirit of
its provisions respecting expenditure,
which, believe, forbid the use by any
candidate of money at any time beyond
the prescribed 15 per cent of year. s
salary attached to the office sought for
Otherwise believe that the very intent
of the primary law and its authors would
be vitiated. If you can give me your sup
port l shall be very grateful, but in the
event that your first choice is for someone
else, shall be glad of your support for
second choice.
''Should l be nominated and elected to
the Office of secretary of state and thus
become member of the state land board
should feel it incumbent upon me to re-
frain from any and all participation in
Carey act or other state drawings for my
self or friends, directly or indirectly, and
| would advocate the most stringent laws
prohibiting the same on the part of any
member of that board. Moreover,
would suggest that the state constitution
be amended so that either the register Of
the land board should become an elective
officer and member Of the land board
and required to furnish bonds equal al
least to those of the state treasurer, ol
that land board should be created inde-
pendent Of politics, in which should ves
the entire supervision of our great landed
interests
''Should the former plan be adopted
the superintendent of public instruction
should be relieved entirely from all duties
except those pertaining to public instruc
ton.
II not only believe most heartily il
woman suffrage, but also in the bestow-
ment of the position of superintendent o
public instruction upon woman.
Realizing that the land board involves
one of the most important duties deyolv
ing upon the secretary of the state, l viii
not at this time consider any other issue
but in conclusion say that the republican
party in national, state, county and cit!
affairs should plant itself squarely anC
unequivocally upon the enactment ant

vileges to nonel"

AS for the progressive movement,
led by James Rudolph Garfield, it was
utterly overthrown and dispersed. The

pudiated the demands of the new-de-
parture supporters.
Not only was the Payne-Aldrich tar

UTILITIES COMMISSION
ONE OF STATE PLANKS.

Columbus, O.-The following are
Republican platform planks dealing
with state issues:
I'VE commend the present Ohio
general assembly for it's wise and ef-
fective legislation, and charge that 1t
was hindered and not helped by the
Democrat state administration. The
Republican state officials have proved
themselves capable and most efficient.
Graft is not partisan; neither are
grafters confined to any one political
party party. The Republican party
condemns all forms of dishonesty and
corruption and believes in Furnishing
the offenders. We favor making the
penalty more severe.
1--WE denounce lynchlng and mob
law, and demand that severe punish
ment be inflicted upon all such offend
ers. Law and order must be main
tained.
AN employers liability law was
passed by the present legislature and
a commission was appointed to in
quire into workmen's compensation
law. We favor such law as will be
just and fair'to all concerned.
"The agricultural institutions and
the farming interests of the state
should be literally encouraged in or
der to increase the productiveness of
the soil. We favor agricultural exten-
sion work for the teaching of scientific
farming.
'We favor:
Assessing all property, real and
personal, at its true value in money
and limiting the tax rate for all pur-
poses to 10 mills.
Supervision and regulation of
public utilities by commission grant
ing municipalities the right of home
rule, and to the people the right to
vote direct on the granting of public
franchises.
Legislation for establishing good
roads for the benefit of all the people
of the state.
Enactment of further laws apply
ing to men, women and children, for
the protection of labor, the basis of
all industry. The Republican party
has a record in this respect of which
it is justly proud.N
'The administration of our state
institutions on strictly business prin.
ciples Such codification and revision
of the tax laws of the state as will
equalize the burdens of taxation and
make property Of aTl kinds bear its
just share.
"a state law requiring the public.
ity of campaign contributions.
"The ratification of the income tax
amendment 10 the federal constitu.
tion.
Individual punishment for corpo
rate offences.
"The calling of constitutional con.
vention TO draft new state constitu
tion."

No Currency Association Talk.

Bankers have not been indulging
in any talk of organizing a national
currency association for Columbus,
and so far Cleveland is the only Ohio
city which has made application for
authority to organize such an associa.
tion. Cleveland will have to ask out.
side banks to assist in the organiza-
ton, as the law requires at least ten
banks as members of such an organ
ization.
Until the merger of the Deshler Ma.
tional with the Hayden-Clinton Ma.
tional, Columbus could have organized
an association without outside help,
and was the only city in Ohio in posi-
ton to do so. Now, however, there
are but nine national banks in the
capital, the same number as in Cleve.
land. The decision that bank may
withdraw from such an association
has helped in getting the banks OF
the eastern cities to work on the
project, but it is not believed that
many, if any, of the western cities
will join in such an association.
