Capital Operation for Peart.

DIR. Maclean, assisted by two Reno
physicians, performed an operation on
Frank M. Peart at the state prison
Thursday afternoon for an ulcer of the
stomach which had eaten through the
walls of that organ and caused leak
age, which meant death within a short
time. Upon investigation it was found
that liberation had gained such head.
way that the stitches would not hold
as in the usual operation, and it was
necessary to take lap in the walls of
the stomach and stitch the same. The
man is very weak and in a critical con-
dition, but there is still fighting
chance for his recovery
Peart was sentenced to be hanged
for murder committed in Humboldt
county several years ago, but later
the sentence was commuted to life inn
prisonment. Shortly after the sentence
had been commuted a brother of Peart
was killed in Virginia City. Peart has
been a sufferer from stomach trouble
for many months and was informed by
the attending surgeon some time ago
that an operation was necessary. He
refused to be operated upon until the
ulcer had done it's work and it may
cause his death.-Carson News.
On November 10, 1909, Peart was
convicted by jury in the Humboldt
county District Court of the crime of
murder in the first degree, having
killed Frank Read on the streets of
Mazuma on the 18th day of May, 1909.
A few days later he was sentenced to
hang by Judge Orr, but his sentence
was afterwards commuted to life i'm
prisonment by the state board of par
dons

SOME DON'TS FOR
MINING INVESTORS

+" Investment News Burean - New
York, June 90, 1912.
Josh Billings once said that ga
man who is bitten twice by the same
dog is better adapted to that business
than any other
There is a lot of homely truth in
this quip.
Applied to mining, it means that the
man who has lost is better able to sue
ceed, another way of saying that the
man of knowledge gained through ex-
perienee is able to separate the min
ing investments that are good from
those that are bad, to distinguish the
promising from the unpromising, the
safe from the risky.
1t is by no means bad business
rule that one should look for his profits
where he has made losses. The man
who has made a failure in the dry
goods business is probably in spie of
that fact better adapted to carry on a
dry goods business successfully than
any other business, because he knows
that business, knows the mistakes he
made, and will probably not make
them over again.
There is no doubt whatever but that
mining in its essence is a risky busi-
ness. This is true because of the very
fact that one cannot see into the
ground any further than the point of
the pick, but there are degrees of risk
in it. and under certain circumstances
the risks are small.
On the other hand, because of the very
risks of the business the chances for
profit are greater than they are in any
other field of legitimate endeavor.
There have been many bits of
"Dont 50 published at various times
for the guidance of the BUYERS of min
inc shares. We want to add few that
perhaps have not been emphasized be
fore.
Don't buy mining shares simply he
cause they are actively quoted in tn
market. Market value is test hrt
not the test of worth.
Don't pass by mining investmef
simnlv because there is not an active
market for the stock. Real mining
people often, in fact, generally, neglect
the market while they are developing
the mine.
Don t follow people who have had as
little or less experience in the mining
business than you have had
And don't take it for granted, be-
cause a man in charge of mine is an
old practical MINER that he knows
how to make profits out of mine
which, to he successful, must be oper-
ed on a high scale with modern equip
ment under modern methods.
