CONSIDER THE ASSETS.


Due to the dull period. which has
prevailed the country over for some
time past. quotations upon the
stocks listed with the leading ex-
changes have in practically every
instance declined to very low points.
This has affected the industrial
stocks and the mining stocks alike.
Quotations have in some instances
gone below any figure of record in
several years; while in ether in
stances they are below what would
appear to be the intrinsic value of
the shares.
In this situation has lain opDor-
tunity for the careful investor who
bays for a long pull or for possible
rotuIrs rather than for speculative
profits from quick changes. Profits
to be secured from speculation have
in fact been rather slim. the stock
markets of the countrv nc is vol,
known, having shown little life.
True the San Francisco mining
share market has recently shown
considerable activity in the South
arn Nevada stocks. but this serves
the more to accentuate the genera,
dullness in other markets.
The careful investor has therefore
as stated, saws the Daily Minnie
Record. had exceptional oupcrtuni-
ties to purchase the leading stocks
at prices less than known in long
time. Prominent mining stocks.
representing producing mines with
futures well assured, have been ON

that dividend returns will be mn
usually large upon the money in

Recognizing that general condi-

prices, the matter of greatest mo-
ment in considering the purchase of
any one of these stocks ebould he
the question of its intrinsic worth
and the possibility of its being able
to continue paying good returns
By this is meant that before pur-

Special Master Finds
Two and a Half Fare
Just in South Dakota
Finding Made in Northwestern Case
as Result of Fight on Two
Cent Fare Law.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July l. That
South Dakotans are entitled to a 2Is-ceut
passenger rate law, though a straight 2
cent law at this time would work a hard
ship on the railroad companies, is the find
ing OF John II. Gates. special master in
the case of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway against the state.
The special master takes direct Issue with
Judge Sanborn in his decision on the Min
nesota rate cases.
The report OF Mr.. Gates will be given to
Judge Elliott of the South Dakota federal
court who will render decisions In accord
ance. Appeal by the railroads is expected.
In taking exception to the methods used
by Judge Sanborn In reaching his verdict
in the Minnesota cases Mr. Gates holds
that the expense basis and not the gross
earnings method is the practical way of
determining how low a rate railroads can
work under and sull make a reasonable
profit on their investment. Under the gross
earnings method railroads are now earning
6h per cent profit. Roads of the state
are now operating under a Scent rate.
The decision involves the 2-cent and the
2h-cent rate laws passed by the legislature
in 1909
