Minot, N D., June 13.-Down in the

the Second National bank Of this city
there is a family heirloom with a
strange history. closely bearing on the
Tory-Whig period of American his
tory, which is for SALE for Mr.. Brevel,

values money more than heirlooms.
The heirloom is a gold-lined snuff

Rev. John Demarest Of Tappan, New
Jersey by his highness, the Duke of
York, for services rendered in the

"Ano!hel matter to which the board of trustees as given con-
siderable thought lis as to the character of securities that shall De ae-
ceived by the government from postal savings depository oanks- III
law provides that the board of trustees shall take from banks reeeiv-
ing postal funds such security in public bonds or other secur1ties'
supported by the taxing power, as the board may prescribe, approve
and deem sufficient and necessary to insure the safety ana prompt
payment of such deposits on demand - Up to this time the matter
has proceeded no further thar a general exchange of views among n
officials, but they are practically agreed that as liberal a pohcy shoulu
be adopted in this respect as is consistent with safety. It's pointed
out that the law clearly intended liberal treatment of this question:,
inasmuch as it made available for security all bonds supported by
the taxing power"
"In considering the whole scheme the board of trustees has rec
ognzed two points of view. In the first place, the benevolent feature
might be made prominent, the system being conducted on a plan
which would promote thrift and afford the best security for the poor,
at the same time bringing out as large IN amount OF dead capital as
possible for the use of the community. These considerations might
be regarded so important as to minimize the question of cost within
certain reasonable limits. The other view, recognized as the business
one, would mean that the government must in any event make the
new enterprise sefsupportng. This view does not consider that the
government is bound to do anything that is Immediately Improbable
1t is the purpose of the board of trustees to find a happy medium be-
tween the strictly business view and the purely philanthroplc view,
always keeping in mind the fact that the system, in order to secure
the best results, must be made cheap and convenient to the deposltor
thus making it at once popular to a large class of people who hitherto
have never done any banking business"

Go1dfie1d's Low Death Rate

~ OLDFIELDS death rate for 1910, as established by records re-
munty is possessed of a healthy climate and that the mining
Gently compiled, proves two points, namely: That this com
in the district is conducted in miner-like fashion.
That during the year past there has not been one death in the
Goldfeld district that can be attributed to a mine accident is a re-
markable record and one commencing highly the character of work
pursued by the various mine arrangements in the district. Iii a rec
ord of which Goldfeld should be proud, for doubtless in no other
mining section of equal proportions in this or any other country has
it been equaled. Mine disasters and mine accidents are particularly
distressing to a mining community, and it is to be hoped that at the
end of the coming year~the record will show that during another
twelfthmonth not an underground worker has met death.
The compilation further shows that during the year just closing
but fftysix persons have passed away in this community. The list
includes those who have met tragic deaths and also the records of the
stiI-born and those passing to the beyond from seniity, hence the
number of deaths attributable to the ills that beset can be materially
reduced.
When this rate is compared with that of just one month, Novem-
Der of four years ago, when sxtyone persons died in Goldfeld, it
goes to show to what an extent the district has advanced as to santa
ton and the like. While there are not as many people in the district
as then, the low record of the present year is nevertheless a commend
able one.
The wonderful climate of this desert district, coupled with the
fact that the best of sanitary conditions have been brought about by
close attention to that important matter, has indeed been a health
builder.

The Crusade Against Validating

I%HE crusade which the government is now making against the
many wildcat financial schemes will have the effect of tighten
ing money for a time among those who have been given to in
vest in mining propositions, but in the end it will have a healthy eff
feet. Men will in the future investigate proposals which call for
investment, but, as the state Of Nevada alone has thousands of legiti
mate mining properties which money can turn into money makers,
good can only come of investigation and the turning on of the light.
Capital is constantly awaiting an opportunity to invest, and
when we of Nevada can show the legitimate propositions we need not
fear that in the end the result of the p~resent-day crusade will be
other than highly beneficial. The men who do not play on the square
in a mining industry are the worst enemies Of the industry. A man
who does not play on the square in any business transaction is his
own worst enemy, for in the end he will certainly fail and fall to a
greater or less degree.
So the best that can be done is to turn on the light and turn the
rascals out. There will be many left who are on the square, who put
the money in the ground, and the future of the industry depends
upon these men and their legitimate undertaking..

Test of Postal Banking Law

~ JANUARY THIRD, the first working day in the New Year
the Postal Savings Bank system will be inaugurated in each
- state and territory In the Union, the experimental offices, for
ty-eight in number at the outset OF the test, to be IN localities where
conditions ire favorable for the development of the institutions
Later, as the test is expected to prove that the system is good one, it
will probably be in general operation.
The first test in Nevada will be made at Carson City, Postmaster
Hofer of that city having been in Washington for some days becom-
ing acquainted with the operations of the law. Its object is to af-
ford and make popular a depository convenient to a large class Of
people who re at present not given to doing a banking business,
many of whom annually remit to their native countries a considerable
sum by postal orders. 1t is felt that the establishment of the banks
will have a beneficial effect throughout the country, particularly pro-
noting thrift among the poorer classes.
The National Finance, the wellknown journal of American fnan-
cal progress, gives the following comment on the new government
venture:
Early last summer the postmaster general designated a commit
tee, consisting of prominent officials in his department, to devise a
workable plan for the new system. After some months of hard labor
a report was submitted to the board of trustees, on the return of the
members to Washington from summer vacations. The plan submit
ted has failed in several particulars to meet with the entire approval
of the board, although it is believed that the scheme as originally de-
vised will ultimately be adopted with some more or less material
changes. The postoffce committee, after much study of the question,
decided that the passbook plan was not a feasible one, because of the
large expenditure it would involve for clerk hire, ETC.. and submitted
a plan by which depostors would receive a certificate with each de-
post instead OF an entry in a pass-book. 1t is probable that this rec
ommendation will be carried out with a provision that the certificates
terest due at certain stated dates, rather than the no-coupon plan rec
commended by the postofce committee. The idea which now seems
TO nave the greatest amount of support among the officials is that the
coupons attached to the certificates shall be sufficient in number 20
cover interest payments for a period of three years. The only fea-
ture of the Postal Savings Bank system which has been definitely de-
cided upon is that at the outset there shall be only forty-eight post
"'nces' all Of the seeona class, designated to receive postal deposits

that are included, and, in some cases, even more strongly f,n

First of all, there are facts that should be clearly statod

eff an investor, and we are using this word in a verv broad =,

Definite promises as to the future can always be regarded with
suspicion. Indefinite statements as to present facts are equally ans
picious. This applies just as much to the report of any reputed ey
pert or mining engineer as it does to the general statements made IA
the course of a prospectus. The training of a mining engineer, if it
is worth anything at all, ought to give him the ability to express him
self clearly, to give the facts definitely, and to distinguish between
facts and opinions. He will be chary of the latter and very conserva.

practically worthless.

How to Buy Mining Stock

PROPOS the countrywide crusade now being waged against So
"a called validating, = the following from the Mining Investor
= is interesting and instructive:
when a sensible man pays a few cents per share for mining
stock, he knows perfectly well that he is taking a risk. He does not
need any mining engineer or expert to tell him that the property is
not on a fully-fnanced, fu1ydeveloped basis with profits as certain
as the dividends from a two per cent government bond. He knows
also that any banker or other thoroughly conservative business advis-
er will tell him to put his money into some socalled "sound invest
ment' which will yield him a return Of from three to possibly in some
cases as high as four and one-half per cent per annum, with the fasci-
mating possibility that his holdings may gain as much as one or two
per cent in market value. All this he knows. What he desires furth-
er to know is, after he has rejected the advice of his cautious friends,
how he can get the best possible chance in the speculative investment
in which he desires to use that portion of his money which is not hid
away in a conservative napkin.
"As a matter of fact, there is no rule by which he can pick out
'te one best chance The men who think they know the most about
oftentimes see their own judgment come to naught and some hap
hazard Spectator make a good turn in some proposition which their
own experience has condemned. There are, however, some points

The Two Jewellery Shops

HO wants to buy two shares of stock in the worlds famed
M jewelry house of Tiffany & Company of New York City,
W asks the Financial World. The market for this stock does
not keep a very large company of brokers busy executing the orders
which sometimes do not come into the market more than once year
But this week there has been very great activity in the Tiffany share
market, three shares having been offered at auction, and now come
two more shares which a w~ellknown broker is offering at the bargain
price of $4,000 per share.
A newspaper reporter said he would buy the shares, but on look
ing through his clothes and finding much to his surprise that he did
not have $4,000 with him, called the deal off, SO the two shares are
still on the market.
Despite the talk about. this being a lean year in Wall street ad
brokers and bankers not being able to make liberal purchases OF
Christmas gifts, the business of Tiffany & Company is said to ave
been extraordinarily large for this season, and possibly a fat dividend
is awaiting the shareholders at the end of the year. The stocks pa
is $1,000, and it has sold as high as 81, 1000 per share. In addition 70
extraordinary dividends, the stock carries with it rights to BUY az
the jewelry and fine things in the art jewelry line on the market a@
you pay for it when you feel like it, and also the shareholder buys q
much less than the charge to poor outsiders who don own any im
any stock. Dividends of something like 40 per cent have oeen p'
