THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS.

Regarding the value of investments
in mining shares based in Gilpin
county mines, oftimes arises the
proposition that eastern investments
are more attractive. Let us see:
Who can bank on railroad stocks,
on manufacturing or individual secur-
tiles? In this day and age, when any
business enterprise may collapse and
fall to the ground, who would dare
to say that any investment was SUI
perior and preferable to gilt-edged
dividend-paying mining stocks, or Sc
curties in mining property of known
value and proved merit?
Money of ultimate redemption is
based upon gold and silver. Were it
not for a. steady flow of these met
ais from the mines of the west to
the commercial centers of the east,
the whole country would be swamp
ed in a panic. Theorists who depre-
cate mining and attack the legiti-
macy OF the industry do not stop to
consider this fact; but, good fl
nanciers do. and they are alive to
the fact that disaster would follow
the suspension of mining; and more,
they know that mining would not be
carried on with greater activity and
energy year after year if it were not
profitable, and good thoroughfare
for lucrative investments.

INVESTMENT OR SPECULATION?

In answer to an inquiry as to what
constituted a good Investment, an
eastern banking house is quoted as
saying: We do not consider any
mining stock a good investment. All
mining stocks are speculative"
The answer was brief, almost bru-
tai; but, was it correct?
Ii gilt-edged dividend-paying mining
stock is not a good investment,
where can one be found? If the line
is drawn on first-class mining secur-
tiles in what list shall We place real
etsate, Industrial stocks and bonds.
mortgages and railroad securities? I?
If We were to rely upon the state
ment of this banking house, even gov
ernment bonds are nothing more than
a speculation If dividend-raying stock
in heavy and regularly producing
mine is relegated to this class.
1t is certainly tough to have to do
away with mining stocks as an in
vestment and to be compelled to re-
S"Ei tleH as puIel! spectldllNe.oo-he
people may attach some Importance
to the opinion of the banking house
in question, but there are thousands
upon thousands of investors who
would not turn down mining stocks
in favor Of any railroad, industrial or
manufacturing security now on the
market. In fact, it would require more
argument than this eastern institu-
ton could advance for a century to
convince them that shares in good,
substantial mining company are not
the best. the safest, ana the most
legitimate investment that can be
found.-Salt Lake Mining Review.
