GOOD MANAGER NECESSARY
Capable Man in Charge is Important to
the Ultimate Success of any
Mining Property.

Tho following from the Salt Lake Mining Review should
serve as notice stockholders interested IN the Occur
enes we'll any other district to see that the property
is receiving the benefit of capable mine management
1t just important, carrying on successful mining
operations have capable manager as is to nave good
In this western country the career OF hundreds OF
promising mining enterprises bghd because OF poor and
inefficient management and many are on record where
absolute failures have been recorded because OF the
men of mine managers who incompetent to manage the
development of prospect let alone mine that had previously
reached point where producing prohtably ana paying
dividends It an old saying that lit must be really hne
property that stand bad management inns IS rue ou
why should any mining proposition be handicapped by man
agement that not capable OF getting the very pes anu Tue
most there is in it?
mine manager may be thoroughly honest and of good
general ability; but his judgment may not be good and ne
may be lacking in the training and experience necessary or
him to make good" in the position he holds "A trial OF
few months should demonstrate his executive ability, his Mt
ness for the positions and it found that ne is lacking III
these qualifications he should be retired matter If ne In
charge of big mining enterprise only mere prospects
for the prospect with intelligent and systematic operation and
development may come the front in time big mne and
why should be given black eye by mismanagement any
than producing mine that has long ago passed the virgin
|stage?
No feeling of friendship fear of offending relatives
and friends should stand the way of making change in
mine management when it is clearly evident that change
shoud be made To hesitate in this matter often means the
labsoute failure of the enterprise Under unsuccessful
agemen interest ags stocks decrease market value and
the money loss sometimes great that previous profits are
turned into losses and work abandoned on what might and
should be a regular dividend payer.
An instance of where change of management resulted
bene6cay is illustrated in the Utah Consolidated mine at
Bingham For years this mine paid regular and heavy dvi
dends. A change made in the management, and
earnings began decline and dividend payments entirely
suspended The shares of the company declined in value and
when examinations of the made by experts its life
under conditions then existing placed at but two
than year ago another change of made
Since then shipments have increased extensive developments
have disclosed and valuable dividend has been
paid another is expected within six MONTHS and it is
claimed the life of the property has been extended to in
definite period.
This gratifying condition brought about by change
in management when looked if the whole proposition was
lost beyond redemption and illustrates the fact that under
certain circumstances change should be made in mine man
agement

COAL BEING MINED WITH MACHINES.

The rapid progress made in years in the substit
ton OF mechanical methods for hard manual labor in min
ing btumnous coal has been of the most notable deve
opments in the history Of the industry According to E.
w. Parker of the United States Geological Survey 174O2
293 short tons or ALL cent of the total output of btu
mlnous and Ignite Goals, mined by machines in 1910
This increase of 315154l5 short tons over the
amount 50 mined in 1909 The number of machines operated
i'm 1910 1884 The Of machines not only makes the
miners task easier but according to Mr. Parker reduces the
tendency TOO prevalent IN many coamnng districts to
shoot from the so practice that not only increases the
liability to accident but produces nordnate quantity of I'M
desirable and unmarketabe fuel 1t gratifying to note says
Mr. Parker the steady increase in the proportion of coal mined
by the use OF machines for indicates larger proportion of
coal undercut before being shot down.

The Invalid Pensions Committee of the
House, which reported the Sulloway bill,
made the extraordinary argument thar
the measure ought TO pass because II
would relieve. the committee of the stag
gering task of putting through private
ppnsion bills. But the committees ac-
tivities along that line should have been
suspended some time ago. Private pen
sion bills give claimants advantages TO
which they are not entitled under the
general laws. They are justifable only
I'm exceptional cases. But because the
committees of the House and Senate
have not had the courage TO refuse 10
act except in really deserving cases. the
bad precedent has been set of passing
thousands Of private bills at each ses-
sion of Congress instead Of tens or hun
dreds The House committee may think
II will he relieved of doing an unpleasant
dutv il the Sulloway measure becomes
a law. But II will probably find just as
many appeals for special relief coming
in aftcrward as came in before.
The Senate ought to subject to the
closest scrutiny bill which would upset
the present equilibrium in pension pay
ments and commit the government to an
annual pension outlay of S2ooOoOOOO or
more.
