Mining Investment

Mining has, and is, receiving considerable unnecessary, and at the
same time unjust, censure, and most of it comes from exceedingly unre-
liable sources, says the Mining World. Most of this unjust criticism
comes from those who have put a little money in, took a flyer or a
gamble, as they fippanty say. Not content with gamblers luck, they
decry and viify a legitimate industry-one that pays more dividends
than all the railroads in the country combined. There is absolutely nc
more sane reason for losing money in mining stocks or operations thar
statement sink deep.
And also please bear in mind that there re not as many failures II
mining as there are in the socaned industries. According to Dun Oh
Bradstreet over ninety five per cent of those who embark i'll business fl
hot so in mining. Of course by mining we do not mean ordinary gam
bling; to put a few dollars into shares, as a flyer as it is called. Thai
is not mining. That is simply gambling. Faro Or roulette compared to
that kind of investment offer much greater opportunities for profit
Why not look upon mining S a business and give it the same scrutiny
or attention that you would if you were going to invest in a piece o
property? You engage an attorney to pass unon the title, who examines
the abstract. A real estate expert is called into estimate its value, ant
| a number of other precautions are taken.

Heavy Silver Production in 1914;
All Records Broken Except for War

in the later half or the year. For
fine bar silver the price averaged 57.6
cents in January; SIS in February;
So in March; 58.5 in April and 5S.1
in May. In June it dropped to 56.6;
in July to SAT; in August to SAB;
in September to 53.3; in October to
5O.7 and in November to 49.1. The
average for December was about
1914 cents and therefore the gener-
al average for the year was only
about 54.S cents or the lowest since
1911.
The imports of silver in 1914
were valued at 1881, 900, as esti-
mated from the records of the bu-
reau OF domestic and foreign COM
merce. The exports were valued at
$5O,5OO,O00 or $780, 900 in excess
of the imports. In 1913 the excess
OF exports over imports was $26, 9OS,-
S12.
The imports of silver in 1914
were as usual, chiefly in ore and bull
lion and mainly from Mexico, which
supplied $1~4.1S6,OOO in silver and
Canada which supplied $5,657,OOO.

Comment on Mining Revival

Many publications have been devotng considerable attention lately
to the revival in mining. Some of the comments on the Goldfield district
show a woeful lack of real information, but all breathe the spirit Of
|helpfulness and good will. Recently the chamber of mines and oil Of
Los Angeles began the publication of the Oil and Mining Bulletin ant
IN the current issue there is comment at length on mining conditions i
the southwestern states. Concerning conditions in Nevada the Bulletin
says:
Nevada the Boss mine has been financed bv MI. W. c. Price a.
&c Angeles, and should be an important producer during the conino
mum and its discovery proves again that all of Mother Natures secrets
have not been discovered. To operate this property the Platinum Cole
Mining company has been organized under the laws of Arizona with
capitalization of 100000 shares, one dollar par value, the controlling in
terest remaining with Mr.. Price, who has taken over the option of Mr.
w. E. SoRele and associates. This is a very important addition to the
mining industry of Los Angeles.
Near Las Vegas the Quo Vadis gold discoveries are being investi
gated and appear to be important, although no definite data is at hand
During the past month the stock of the Jumbo Extension, at Goldfeld
scared on account of a new strike of gold or the 1917 foot level. The
facts seem to be that this drift has been extended for about 80 feet on
vein about sever feet wide and averaging a little better than 500 per ton
During November the net vaue of production was $4,000. Mr. J. K
Turner is in charge of the property. AT Aurora the 5ooton mill of the
Aurora Consolidated has been tuned-up and should I'll steadily from
now on this property is now owned by the Godfield Consolidated and is
under the direction of Mr.. Albert Rurch. The Big Four lease at Roches
ter is reported to have made a discovery Of seven feet of ore assaying
about $50, above the 400 foot level, and 4 new mill is under way. Other
mines in Humboldt county re developing in an encouraging manner
and a general revival Of prospecting has taken place in Nevada that has
already resulted in several discoveries. the Importance of which is yet to
be determined.

Mining as a Basic Industry

Writing O mining in the New Year number of Mining and
Scientific Press, Mr.. T. A. Richard says among other things Mining to
be successful requires the ability or instinct to see beyond the point OF
the pick, sometimes many hundred feet ahead OF it, and to anticipate
changes in the ore due to causes that the miner has taken painstaklng
care to note. Indeed foresight-the forward mental glance-s a quality
fundamental to successful mining; not only as regards the behavior OF
cewes to be performed before the results of the miners labor is realized
in terms of money"
Continuing his interesting discussion of this subject, Mr.. Richard
has this to say: The trickery and the thieving is no essential part of It,
NOR even the scheming and gambling that looms so large in the eyes OF
the stock exchanges and financial press. These agencies, useful as they
are, not infrequently make the mistake of putting the cart before the
horse. Even the general public, using the shares of mining companies as
a means of specializing or buying them with the idea of profitable invest
merit, is apt to overlook the fact that such operations are incidental, not
fundamental. Undoubtedly the charm of a successful financial venture
a factor in furnishing the inducement for raising capital, and for dis
trihuting the risk 20 that it may not fall too heavily upon single purses
undoubtedly mining in its worldwide aspect has gained in scope and
even in stability by means of the appeal to, and support from, an mterna-
tional clientele without such support the digging of the metals would be
restricted to smaller operations and to fewer territories. Nevertheless the
function of mining is not to create counters for a gamble; thai is only an
incidental feature OF a venturesome business.
Mining is a basic industry it depends not upon the gambling, but
upo the honest work whereby the useful and necessary minerals are
extracted from the earth in order to furnish the material structure of civ

rect product of the field literally, he does not live on bread alone; the
complex way of living we call civilization depends increasingly upon the
metals. By means of them we move, communicate and construct; by the
use of them we obtain heat, light, and a thousand comforts. They fur
nsh the munitions of war no less than the implements of agriculture and
the instruments of scientific research. The world may suffer a diminish
ed supply of the metals for a while, as during a great war, but not for
long. 1t can endure the obiteraion of all its stocks exchanges before it
can dispense with the products of the mine. Lacking them, it reverts to a
material barbarism in which the finer fruits of the human spirit decay
Under the barren overburden of ruthless miitarism, as under the gentle
meadows of peaceful progress, is the bedrock of metals. On that the
sky-scrapers of civilization are founded. The relapse of war serves to
give laundering emphasis to the fact. Mining is a basic industry"

The domestic production of silver
again reached a high mark in 1914.
The preliminary estimates of the
geological survey and the buerau Of
the mint indicate an output of ST.
929,S79 fine ounces, valued at $37.
225,0OO, but the final figures may
be somewhat lower. This was again
one of the greatest outputs since the
domestic production of silver began,
according to the geological survey.
In 1912, 1913 and 1914 the highest
record outputs of quantity have been
made, but owing to the varying
yearly average prices for the metal.
the value of the output has frequent
ly in the last twenty-five years eX-
ceeded the value of any one recent
year.
Increases in mine production O.
silver we're notable in Idaho, Cali
fornia and Arizona in 1914, and big
decreases were recorded in Montana,
Utah. Nevada and Colorado.
Nevada retained first place In os~
put of silver in 1914 but early fig
ures from the mines indicate a de-
crease in production of over 100000
ounces. The Tonopah, Nevada Hills,
Nevada Wonder, Rochester and other
mines were active producers.
Idaho ranked second in silver
production in 1914, with an increase
in production of over 500, 900
ounces, making a record for the
state. The great lead silver mines
of the Occur d'Alenes had a particu-
larly productive year.
In Montana the silver output fell
off more than 1900 ounces owing
chiefly to the curtailed copper yield
resulting mainly from the European
war but also in part from labor
conditions at Butte.
Utah ranked fourth in output, but
the yield declined. The bulk of the
silver produced was derived from
silver bearing lead ores of the Tntic
district, but Park City, Bingham,
and other districts contributed The
yield from copper ores of the small
er mines decreased with the curtail-
ment of the copper yield.
Colorado ranked fifth in silver
produstion with a decrease of over
400 1000 ounces and Arizona ranked
sixth, with an increase of about the
same quantity and a record output.
Low metal prices and disorganized
markets in the later part of 1914 es-
pecially and curtailment of copper
output owing to tie European war,
made the year a difficult one for
producers Of silver. But for the in
creased yield of %siliceous silver ores
at Tonopah and in Arizona and the
silver lead zinc ores especially at
Butte and in the Occur d'Alenes, the
silver yield would have been greatly
decreased; and but for the European
war the domestic silver output
would have broken all records in
quantity of output at least.
Demands for silver from India and
China were disappointingly light in
1914 and London stocks accumulat-
ed. resulting in a poor market. New
York prices, reflecting these condi-
lions, were generally low, especially

House Cleaning Is nsOrder

Goldfeld is ready for a cleanup campaign. Many visitors from a
distance r coming to this camp and it is desirable to make as good an
impression upon them a possible. Nothing is more material along this
line than for a town to have a neat, well-kept appearance.
The Tribune would like especially to call attention to the hand-bils
and old political dodgers that are pasted IN the windows and on the walls
of unoccupied buildings i'll the business portion of the camp, which are a
constant evesore to residents and visitors. 1t is believed that property
owners will remedy this condition as soon as their attention has been
called to it, but there are other buildings Uttered up that are owned by
persons who do not live here.
The county commissioners, acting as the board of highway commits
sioners, are understood to have the matter under consideration. Let
everybody lend a helping hand. Only a little exertion will be required to
give Goldfeld a cleaner, brighter appearance.
Colorado Springs Telegraph: The question is asked from time to
time why the Cresson and other late Cripple Creek strikes should cause
renewed activity. Those who ask it may be skeptcal as to any mining
camp ever coming back. They do, however. Ieadvile has had at least
two periods of revival, once when gold in the Little Johnnie and other
mines showed up in considerable quantities, and more recently With the
discovery of zinc ores. Nevada camps have had two or three REVEALS.
The seven counties comprising southern California will spend 81
ooooo this wear in road construction. The schedule includes 34 miles
Of concrete boulevard, las miles of macadam boulevard, 100 miles OF
decomposed granite boulevard and 200 miles of desert highway. Los An
eeles county, which already claims the finest highway system in the coun-
try. will spend nearly half of the total named. 1t already has 4o4 miles
of asphalt boulevards.
