SIGNS POINT TO
A MINING BOOM

If persistence has. merit, then
shall we experience a boom in
mining before many weeks have
passed.. Those closest in touch
with actual conditions in the min
ing camps, the actual work &C
complished during the past year
and the exc aedingly favorable out
look for the present year, have
long held to the opinion that the
time has come when the public
should awaken to the possibilities
which the facts reveal, says the
Denver Mining Record.
This idea has been consistently
advocated; the favorable factors
have been pointed out, and every
thing possible done toward making
plain to everyone the fact that the
time has come when re-awakened
interest in mining is to be a
reality. That these favorable
factors to which attention has
been called so persistently, are
now more widely recognized, may
be noted in the fact that, brokers
who indeed are closest in touch
with the investing public-every-
where are predicting a greater
interest in mining securities.
These predictions, coming from
the east and from the west, are
based, not only on the fact that
physical conditions justify greater
interest, but perhaps of even more
importane, on actual inquiries
being received from investors and
spectators who are watching the
markets,
While business conditions, taking
the country over, are recognized
as being in sound condition and
with prospects flattering for q
general Improvement during the
year, nevertheless it is also openly
admitted that something unusual
something distinctly out of the
ordinary-is needed as q stimulant
to cause general awakening to
this fact-and to bring about a
more active interest in affairs of
today.
Mining booms have in the past
heralded the. end of a period Of
depression. And conditions are
shaping up in such q manner as to
indicate that history will be re.
peated.

TEDDYS RIVAL

For long time our esteemed
friend Teddy was popularity sup
pssed to have q corner on a
certain line Of adjectives, but
Governor Johnson of California
seems to be running him a close
second. He paid the following
tribute to General Otis, known as
an "old walrus of a fighter" and
foe to unionism:
He sits there in senile de-
mentia, with gangrened heart and
rotten brain, grimacing at every
reform, chattering impotently Sat
all things thatisre decent, frotbing,
Tuning, violently gibbering, GO
ing down to his grave in snarling
infamy."

why IS THIS THUS?

The average business man, when
the water pipes in his house,
office or store spring a leak. does
not like around to all the plumbers
and get bids on repairing the
same. If he tried it on the first
plumber he struck, he would prob
ably invite him to 60 to Halifax.
Similarly, the average business
man, if he has need to consult a
lawyer or requires the services of
a physician. will select member
of either profession in whom he
reposes confidence, and when the
bill is rendered for services pay it
like d man. But the Same average
business man, if he has two
dollar job of printing to be done,
is quite likely to spend half a
days time. in haggling with every
printer within reach, pitting one
against the other. in the hope of
saving a quarter on the job. Why
is'this thus?-Humboldt Star.
