American miner searches them out.
Eastern and European capital makes
possible their conversion into bullion,
and the joint results of the miner and
the moderate investors make possible
the tremendous profits that signalize
successful mining and must have this
combination, for no man ever has suf-
ficient capital to successfully operate
the property, no matter how valuable
it may be. A poor man might discover
the most valuable body of ore in the
world, but if he could not enlist the
services of others to make it a paying
mine, develop and equip it with ma
chinery, he would still remain a poor
man. Thousands of mines have been
started by men of moderate means, who
have invested their last dollar in them,
and being unable to enlist sufficient
outside capital to place it on a paying
basis, have been compelled to abandon
what might have been developed into
their property. A failure is therefore
recorded, and the whole mining in
dustry is scored as being unsafe. Few
realize how extensive the fields for
mining operations are in the west; and
how few realize that the amount of
local capital available is entirely in
adequate for even a small proportion
of its needs. Naturally the holders of
mining properties in the west look to
the surplus capital of the east and
Europe for assistance. It is for this
reason that the stock in some of the
very best mines are offered for public
subscription.

A Few Mining Statistics
and a Plain Talk on
Mining.
Of con.sO'Keefe, Of Nogales,
Arizona. Sent out for the Person
al Information Of the Members
Of the Gilpin County Chamber
of Commerce by the Board
of Directors.

Eastern people are generally inclined
to look on mining as an exceedingly
risky venture in which a few happen
by the merest chance to strike it lucky,
while the many fail. This belief may
have been justified to a certain extent,
thirty, twenty, or even ten years ago
but mining conditions have recently
undergone marvellous changes. Mod
ern inventions, including all manner
of mining and milling machinery, cleo
trio appliances, compressed air, power
drills, the amalgamation and cyanide
processes, have worked wonders in the
extraction and reduction of ores, and
have virtually reyolutionized mining,
rendering it one of the safest, surest
and most profitable lines of industry
known.
The risk in mining Investments has
been reduced fully Is per cent, and the
opportunities for profits increased in
fully the same, ratio. Ore is now mined
at the cost of cents where formerly it
was dollars.
In modern mining the chances r
reduced to a minimum, and many of
its operations al be planned, esti-
mated and carried on with all the pre-
cision and accuracy of railway con-
struction or of bridge building-and
while the element of chance may not be
entirely eliminated, neither is it elimi-
mated from any other act Or venture in
life, from the cradle to the grave-still
SO great has been the progress of min
ing, so wonderful has been the stride,
that there is now less left to chance
than in any other pursuit or industry
known.
Scarcely a day passes in this invent
i've and scientific age without the ap-
plication of some new method of ex-
torting wealth from the mineral deposit
of Mother Earth. Our great schools
of Technology, of Mines, and of Engi-
neering, are placing the best scientific
talent of the world at the disposal of
it's industry. The time is past when
mining investments are regarded as
uncertain when care is exercised in
making an investment. There r CON-
paratively few absolute failures in the
operation of real mining companies.
There is twenty-five hundred per cent
more money lost annually in bank
failures than in mining. The mining
industry pays more profits in any year
five times over than the combined
banking system in the United States,
mentioning only the mines within the
boundaries of Uncle Sam.
Here let US maze another compar-
ison: The writer has before him a list
of 261 mines that have paid their stock
holders over 5000, 900, 900 in profits in
one year-will someone come forward
and show how much the 1901 900 odd
miles of railroad with its aggregate
liabilities of nearly sl1, 900, DOC, OcC
nets; then we will see who pays the
most.
1t is positively claimed and admitted
that under the wing of mining there
exists some of the safest and most
profitable of all business. and it is
known and admitted that the very 81.
new of commerce comes from mines.
They are the root of half the success.

Savannah, Ca, September 7.-As q
autionary measure of protectioa
against fire on their water front prop
critics, the Central of Georgia railway
and the Ocean Steamship Company
jointly are to construct two mammoth
fire walls
One of the walls will be over 400
feet in length, while the other will oa
a little over 100 feet long. They will
be of tfreproof brick and 40 feet high
Preliminary work on the walls has be-
gun, the construction being carried on
by the Centrafs workmen under tla
direction of the Central's engineers.
Ii was at the instigation of the firs
insurance people that the Central and
steamship company planned to build
Tie walls. The first thing they did
in line with the underwriters sug-
gestions relative to safer terminal IA
cilities was to begin work on a gfan.
water tower, TO be built at a cost o.
Upwards of $150,0O0. This tower Will
furnish the Central terminals with a
separate fire fighting plant and will
be thorough in every respect. 1t will
be 80 feet high and on tcp will rest
the big water tank, which will hold
thousands of gallons in reserve for A
fire.

NOT Great.

While cotton is coming in rather
slowly for the season the supply is
sufficient to meet all demands of local
buyers, and even more. For some
reason the buyers are bit backward
in their demands for the fleecy, and
the sales made lack the snap and vigor
of other seasons when the best grades
of cotton are being marketed Whether
the same conditions obtain in Other

TOM HUDSON'S LATEST
ON THE COT TON CROP
Only Two Thirds of the
Crop of Last Year
Was Damaged By Ex-
cessive Rains lis the
Opinion of Commis-
sioner Hudson.

Expert opinions to tie contrary
Notwithstanding Georgia's cotton crop
this year will be not more than two
thirds of wnat the crop was in 1909.
Such is the emphatic statement mais
by Commissioner of Agriculture T. G.
Hudson.
Mr.. Hudson takes issue with those
who have issued optimistic opinions
regarding the effect of the recent rains
in enhancing the value of the cotton
crop and increasing its output. He
declares that the showers arrived too
late to be of any material value.
The cotton crop ordinarily reaches
it's maturity by September 10" de-
clared Mr.. Hudson After that date
it is either made or not made anq
nothing can retard or advance it. The
general rain of few days ago dii
slight good in north Georgia, where the
cotton crop is late, but the increase as
the result will not be appreciated.
Situation in South Georgia.
I'm south Georgia a large portion Of
the cotton is dead and that which has
-Ved lad advanced as far as it could
and the rain was of no benefit.
The cotton was given a serious set
back by the continuous rains of the
latter part of May and June and July.
To the damage done by the season of
dampness was added the damage done
by the drought of several weeks which
followed and w-tch lasted until the
general rains of a few days ago. The
excessive rains Of the period mention
ed filled the cotton with grass and the
drouth following stunted it beyond
hope of recovery.
From a careful study of the condi-
tion Of the cotton crop in all sections
Of Georgia, l am convinced that the
crop this year will not be more than
two-tiirds of the crop of last year"
Mr.. Hudson's opinion is in striking
contrast to the opinion recently ex-
pressed by Ed Inman, Of Inman, Akers
& Inman, cotton brokers, and others to
the effect that the rains of last week
had tremendously advanced the pros
poets of the cotton crop for this year
and that the state of Georgia. alone
would profit at least million dollars
as a result of it.

GATHERING CORN IN
THE BIG CONTEST
NeighbOrS TO Superintend
Work on Farms.
And Make Up Signed
Statement of What
the Results Were on
the Acre.

The corn on twenty-five acres on as
many plantations, is to be weighed in
the next few days in order that the
prizes offered to the growers of the
best yield to the acre may be award,
ed on September 20.
1t is impossible to have single
committee of two or three citizens
make tie round of the county. going
from plantation to plantation, meas
airing an acre wherever designated
and watching the gathering of tho
corn and it's weighing or measurement.
SO it has been decided that the best
way to get the exact facts relative
10 the yield on the acre selected by
eaca contestant is to Lave two or three
neighbors, who must be landowners,
measure off the acre, superintend tho
gathering and measuring or weighing
Of the corn from it, and sign the
statement as to the exact results to be
forwarded to Mr. ]. E. Hightower in
Americus.
The corn must be slip shucked be-
fore being weighed or measured, aao
the statement must be prepared and
signed up as soon as the Weighing Is
completed and forward to Mr.. High
tower.
Great interest is felt in the results.
It is claimed by several growers that
their test acre will yield loo or more
bushels of corn. No one can SPEAK
with any definiteness, though, until the
actual gathering and weighing Or
measuring has been done.
Those who are successful in winning
the prizes offered in the confess
which will be awarded as soon as the
returns are in, will be requested to
make known the system under which
taey worked in growing the corn. the
fertilizers used, the quantity to the
acre, etc., so that all Of the farmers
OF the county may have the benefit OF
their experience and profit thereby.
1t is probable that the returns will
all be in within the next week or ten
days and the list Of winners compiled
and announced to the public.
