EDITOR AvALANCH;-
 The relative advantage or dis advantage of investments is as sessible mining shares or those that are made non-assessable by the articles of incorporation is a subject of constant discussion and is one upon which there is a difference of opinion. This diff ference of opinion seems to ex- ist according to experience and knowledge of practical mining or the lack of the same knowl- edge, those who have followed the mining business all their lives and who give their time and energy. to actual develop ment, taking the view that if a business IS worth investing in it should be worth doing well, and that mining for ore (not for stock selling requires constant expenditure of labor and mon ey, machinery and appliances for eAtl acting, redue ng or treating zand testing all classes Of ore,g no matter Of what grade value, ii means can be found for con centrating, milling or smelting the products and by-products of tine mine.
 Eastern investors have been led 10 believe it was safer to take flyer ln shares that can not be assessed, but the exper- fence of legitimate companies seems to be that the best re suits are not always obtained on the first expenditure of their treasury funds; in fact this sel- dom occurs, and unless addit- jonal means are available, the enterprise must come to an end, and d really meritorious proper ty must lie dead and unproduc- tive until another ownership or management takes hold. Min ing is not only a scientific busl- ness requiring the highest oro- CT of intelligence and training in minerology, chemistry and en- gineering, but is very practical bard work.
 So few eastern people have an adequate idea of what mining really is, what intricate prob lems frequently confront the management in the exploration of ore bodies. the tracing of veins which have become faulted or displaced, the occurrence of non-mineralized ledge matter or

In the re- collection and personal lknowl- edge of the writer many valu- able and dividend paying mines have been almost continuously worked for 10 to Is years before they became regular dividend payers. It is frequently com mented on by the successful mining companies that the. f. nal success came after long and trying efforts to reach success. In my opinion the greatest bane to mining is the class that are seeking for gold brick in vestments, and who not only set out to deceive themselves but ex- pect 10 et'something for.no- thing, and tlten.t1x unload their nothing. an.innocent and coniding public.
 Mining has passed from tlle mystic feverish stage marking earlier history. Every prospee- tls writer will tell you that. Ii is more of a plain, comprehensi- ble business now. People gen erally understand that I mine has to be developed, and dayel. opment should be gauged by natural indications Of values; tn 1t putting money into development where approved by expert engi- neers is almost sure to result n gain. Treating low grade ores by the most economical process known is as certain an inY est ment as realty itself.
 These facts are common in- formation. An evidence thst they are acted upon by the mass of investors is seen in the style of advertisement adopted by brokers and promoting compan- ies.
