THE INVESTMENT BL

THE INVESTMENT BANKER
Your front page article in Thursdays
Day Book tempts me to write you.
According to your article it seems
to me that you think that the only
logical thing for the investor to do
is to put his money in bonds. On
this the investment banker will read
lily agree. Now the American invest
ing public is beginning to wake up
to the fact that these investment
bankers are taking the public's
money on longtime bonds and that
they themselves are investing it in
stock of the various oil, mining, au-
tomObile and other enterprises. On
these investments they take the
cream, giving the investor in their
bonds from to 8 per cent for the
use of the money.
Furthermore, let us see if their
bonds are any more valuable as an
investment than the stock which are

pOratiOns. l quote the following
from the September number of en-
Vesting for Profits" and you may
draw your own conclusions:
We are told by the money Oigar-
chy and the kept press to put our
money into bonds which that crowd
issues, that our money may be safe
To confuse.us they say that lending
money on bonds is investing Let's
see how safe money has been that
was put into these bonds.
August 1 a Wall street brokerage
house issued a circular containing a
list of offerings and quotations on
"a issues of railroad and industrial
bonds. Of these 674 issues there
were 228 issues on which you could
get back your money.
'On of these you could get from
$4.35 to $25 of the $1OO you had
paid. On Is of these you could get
from $25 to $50 of the $1OO you had
paid. On IS of these you could get
from $50 to SIS of the $1OO you had
paid. On 354 of these you could get
from SIS to 500 of the $1OO you had
paid. If you put up $10O and can get
back only $425, $25, $50, SIS or 500
where, pray, is the safety?
"TO anyone but the Wall street
crowd safety in money matters
means to get back your money or it's
equivalent. Wall street must have a
dictionary of it's own. Be careful
about bonds. They are a snare and
a delusion. And look out for the real
estate bond. 1t contains the biggest
joker"
The thing that troubles the invest
ment banker the most is not that

fact that the people are getting wise
to their game, and as a consequence
are doing their own investing where

LORDsBURG MINING REVIEW

About one-third mile southwest
from No. 2 shaft of the Bonney Mine

Gray Mine, now being operated under

Up to the present time there has
been extracted and shipped from the

seventy.five tons Of ore valued at
about 100000. The prospect bids
fair to develop into a permanent pay

Up to date there has been shipped

GAO ACRE HOME
STEAD BILL UP

All the disputed points in the Fer
ris bill to provide 640-acre home
steads, principally for grazing pur-
poses, have been smoothed out in
conferences between house and SEN
ate, and the measure goes to the pres
ident now for signature.
The bill has been supported by the
interior department and western con-
gressmen as a method of further
opening the public domain.
Many millions of acres of non-agri-
cultural, non-mineral, non-irrigable
land would be opened to stock-raising
homesteads under the bill, which is
'egarded as one of the most import
ant affecting the public domain passed
in many years.
1t probably will become a law next
week, according to the ~conferees.
Under it the lands will be open to
any one upon entry and three years
residence and Improvement, without
any money payment whatever, except
ordinary filing fees.
A section to which adm Illustration
officials obiected-those ALREADY hold
ing homesteads to purchase not eX-
;eeding 800 acres of contiguous stock
raising land at S1.25 an acre-was
stricken out, in order to prevent spec
ulation. 1t would have permitted
homesteaders to holj the addition al
lowed without improvement.
The agreement provides that where
ar applicant Cor stocl-laising home
stead entry APPLIES for entry before
the character of the land has been
officially designated he will acquire no
rights against the government, al
though his rights will b. good against
later entrymen. The purpose of this
was to prevent tying up lands by en-
trymen attempting to estop the gov
eminent from making another CLASH
fcation and requiring it to institute
dispossession proceedings.
