Is Mining Hazardouss

When we look at the large list of dividends paid by metal mining com panies, when we chronicle the great fortunes that have been made by men who have made investments in mining properties, and when take cognizance of the many splendid opportunities al most daily offered throughout the min ing districts of the West, we wonder that any well informed individual could and would make the assertion that mining is extra hazardous" says the Salt Lake Mining Review.
 Some people are outspoken in their statement that mining is risky, while others merely imply, by innuendo, that other occupations are safer and more certain. Even big mining companies and great syndicates, whose incomes from the mines pile up into the millions, are guilty of knocking mining by the last named method: possibly not inten- tionally, but yet most forcibly because of the very position they occupy in the mining, commercial and financial world. For instance, big syndicate, composed of mining men, which is in the market for the purchase of mining properties, makes statements which are sent broadcast over the world to the effect that during a certain period-a year, for instance-its experts have examin- ed 700 mining properties, out of which large list only one or two have been ac- cepted. Such statement is credited to Canadian syndicate seeking proper ties in Canada and the United States. The statement is probably true, as far as it goes, but the inference is given out that all of the 700, with the excep- tion of the one or two, were valueless; and, perhaps unintentionally, the i'm pression conveyed to the investing public is that mining is especially hazardous, when, if the true facts were generally known, the syndicate got what it really wanted, although the majority of the mines examined by it's experts were probably possessed of real value and merit, and might be just what were wanted by other companies or individuals operating along different lines.
 But, because of the statement made regarding the 700 mines examined with only one or two purchased, the public is given to understand that the two taken over were the only good ones in the whole bunch, and that the rest were worthless.
 And vet such is not the case, and mining history can be quoted to show many instances where mines have been turned down by experts, many of them possessed of national regulations, and that these same mines have since been examined and accepted by other ex- perts, other companies, and have made fortunes for their owners. Throughout this inter-mountain region there are hundreds Of mines which have at one time been turned down by experts, but which, today, are producing and paying mines; and there are hundreds of prop critics which could be transformed into bread-winners and dividend-payers if capital were forthcoming for their de- velopment and operation. But, because perchance, they have been turned down by an expert, possibly by one who is so afraid of his reputation that he dare not rely on his own good judgment, the general public is led to believe they are worthless.
 There are hundreds of good reasons why company or syndicate will not
