MINING A BUSINESS INVESTMENT

In a recent humorous sketch, Geo.
Fitch took for his topic. April, !"
and after dealing at some length in
absurdities regarding this spring
mcnth, winds up as follows:
april is a beautiful month south
Of Mason and Dixon's celebrated line.
North of this line however, it is
like stock company gold mine-it
consists mostly of prospects,
This is but one of the numerous
slurs that have been pervading popu-
lar journalism the past year. Writers
have been going to much pains to
impress upon the general reading
public that mining is thing to
shun One writer in the Saturday
Evening Post went so far as to en-
phatically state that not one cent
should be put into anything that per-
tains to mining. There is some COM
fort to us in the fact that this writ
er has never been heard of before
in mining circles, and he probably
knows nothing of his subject except
as he has CLEANED data in the brok-
erage markets of the big cities,
where the notorious operations of
mining sharks hold sway.
The detractors of the mining in
dustry appear to fail completely in
appreciating the fact that real min
ing is just as legitimate as any 9TH
er industry-mercantile manufactur-
ing, or agricultural. The preparations
Of crooks have invaded every line of
business. Mining is not responsible
for the gullibility that makes it pos
sible for sharks to thrive.for this is
trait in the human makeup. 1t is
not mining that fleeces people; it is
make-believe mining. Statistics can
be quoted to prove that real mining
results in a smaller number OF fail
ures than any other line Of business.
If the general public can be brought
to realize a distinction between gen.
uine and fake promotions; If people
will put the same common sense in
TO an investment in mining property
as they would II putting their funds
into any other kind Of property; and
II, finally. investors would insist
upon the activities Of their COM
panies being controlled by experience

Mining men are hoping for much
from the completion Of the expert
mental plant at Golden. 1t is

worth. While experiments will no
doubt be made for private parties
by those in authority. its principal
object would seem to be an addition

Mines practical equipment. Not to be
worth any more than that to the gen.
eral public is sufficient; but it means
a more thorough understanding by
the student for actual work in the

Rocks do not differ greatly and the
variety is not great, but the chem

vary considerably. There are prob
ably more metals than rock minerals.
The rocks seem to have a common
basis-nearly all are Of silicate or
igin. It is possible all metals have
common basis also, merely differing
in color and specific gravity with
probably slight difference chem
ically. Gold differing from silver as
much as a piece Of quartz does from

Students and mining men; but none
Of these can say how metals differ
one from the other. This would seem
to be one Of the secrets which ma

reveal that might make the metals
worthless. For man to initiate ma
ture is to duplicate her work with
probable harm to the usefulness Of
the metals. AS said, all the metals
