PREJUDICE AGAINST MINING
DISTRICTS.

There are many persons who have
acquired, one way or another, preju-
dices against this or that mining dis
trict. There may be good reasons for
holding unfavorable opinions against
majority of the cases, that the dis
likes entertained by the critics of
any particular district are due, not
to the intrinsic merits of that district
but to fallibilities of men.
If man loses money through the
imprudent purchase of stock or an
interest in company organized by
a shark, the result should not be
booked against the district. If the
money be lost when handled by
honest men, the net result to the In
vestor Is certainly the same, and
still the failure Is not chargeable
against the district-the manage
ment of the enterprise may not have
been qualified to operate a mine.
Mining projects have frequently

NAMES HIS PET AvERSIONS
Physician Pretty Well Covers Every
thing in Making the Following
Fervent Prayer.

Doctors it appears, do sometimes re-
sort to prayer, according TO the Medi-
cal Times. But, since such commun1ca-
tions are usually strictly confidential
in character, they are seldom recorded
{here below at least,) although they
undoubtedly express the innermost
yearnings Of the supplicants soul. A
certain Doctor Jacobson has recently,
and openly prayed to be delivered
from the following things:
Health insurance; from deadbeats :
from the neurasthenic who keeps a
diary; from the birth-control crank
and other professional sOctolOgists ;
from The writer's Of unneeded text

necessitating immediate financing,
whether new mining discoveries of
Importance added materially to the
worlds wealth, or whether for any
other reason there was more money
to be spent or some national exig-
ency made 1t imperative to increase
the amount in circulation to pay for
required products, the old rule OF
supply and demand started business
booming and continued along those
lines until another lull came in the
cycle of things.
For more than two years now there
has not been any stimulus to trade,
but the normal workings Of supply
and demand, and in that time this
country has attained a degree of
prosperity never before eQualled.
What, then, is about to happen with
the money in the country so suddenly
increased by the great national bond
issue placed in immediate circulation
to supply the wants. which it is au-
thoritatively stated will require bill
lions and billions of dollars, of which
the present Liberty Loan issue is said
to be only the beginning?
What class of securities will feel
the immediate effects of this new
money so readily as metal mining
stocks, especially those in producing
mines and those where all the indica-
tions are promise that they are
shortly to become producers?
The stock market may from time to
time experience brief shocks while we
are participants in the war, but the
volume Of floating securities seems to
be much less than it has been for
some time and this alone may be con-
strued as indicative of an upswing.
But the position Of the metals in the
world markets, and especially in the
United States, is the thing upon
which the greatest reliance for the
continued advance of mining stocks
is based; that and fundamental busi-
ness conditions, an analysis of which
is a simple matter for any thinking
investor,

TWO Freaks of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks of nature
are the Island of Fire and the Lake
Of Snow. The Island Of Fire is called
the Home of Hot Devils. 1t Is sit
uated in the midst of large lake OF
boiling mud in the Island Of Java
The steam and gases which arise
from the sticky mud form them
selves into bubbles, attaining a diam
eter Of five or six feet, ed sail high
up In the air like balloons, carried
hither and thither by the wind and
finally exploding with loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the summit of Hispar pass, in the
Karakoram range. 1t is more than
800 square miles in area. In SWitZer-
land the sea of ice might better De
called the sea of snow, as the sur
face is broken up by solar heat
which makes a minute assuring In
the ice, giving it the appearance Of

Till the Plumber Comes.

If often becomes necessary to stop q
leak in water pipe when a plumbers
services cannot Immediately be OBJ
tained. Pipes have habit Of spring
Ing a leak at the most inconvenient
times. To persons who may ind
themselves In this predicament a sug-
gestion sent to Popular Mechanics by
]. w. Cox of Florence, Ala, should
prove valuable:
A piece Of sheet rubber was placed
over the leak and a wooden block was
fitted over it, the inner surface being
curved to fit the pipe. The block and
rubber packing were clamped against
the pipe by means of stick, notched
to fit against the pipe and held by a
twisted wire, a block being used to
wedge the packing and cover block
firmly into place. The repair was Wa
tertight and saved much inconvenience
and probably considerable damage.

Women Of Ancient Babylon.

To some extent women's rights were
recognized in Babylon. Indeed, In
some respects, they were acknowledged
as mems equals. They entered into
business partnerships, they could lend
and borrow, they could beQueath their
property without let or hindrance. In
the great temples Of Babylon, the
priests and priestesses stood on the
same level. The marriage laws Of the
Babylonians gave the advantage to the
men. Not only fathers, but also broth

FIRST TO BUILD GOOD ROADS
McAdam, by His invention and Work,
Did Much to Advance the Pros.
perity Of England.

The inventor Of macadamiZed roads
was John LOudOn McAdam and few
inventors ever gave their name more
currency than he did by his good roads
invention. He was born in Scotland In
1856 and came pretty near becoming
an American, for he came to New
York in ITO and remained there In
the employ of an uncle 13 years. Re
turning to England in 1888 he took up
the study Of rOad-making and from
that time on it was his life work. He
was the father Of good roads In Eng
land. MaCaulay, in his history Of
England, has q chapter on the bad
roads Of that period in which he says,
"On the best lines of communication
the ruts were deep, the descents were
precipitous and the way often such as
it was hardly possible to distinguish.
1t happened almost every day, that
coaches stuck fast, until team Of cat
tie could be procured from some neigh
boring farm to tug them out Of the
slough" McAdam's views In regard
to rOad-making, especially In regard to
the use of broken stone, were finally
adopted by the authorities and In 1927
he was appointed surveyor general Of
roads in Great Britain. Parliament
voted him $4,000 for his services and
offered him knighthood and title, but
he declined them. He died in 1885 in
his eighty-frst year. A biographer
says; "McAdams efforts largely con-
tributed to produce that network of
mail coach communication in England
which, for some years before railways
were introduced, greatly advanced the
nations prosperity and prepared the
way for the railway system" His sys-
TEN was adopted In the construction Of
the Old national road in this country.

OUR DUTY TO GIVE.

II you are a real American you
must contribute to the War Fund of
the Red Cross during the week of
June 18th to 25th, whether you be-
lieve yourself able or not If you
are a real American it Is not a Ques-
tion of giving from your surplus
you must give and keep on giving
until you can give no more, and, even
after that, you must keep on.
We are at war, but we do not rea-
lize what war is, and, If the Red
Cross is able to do its full duty, we
will never know what war can be.
Do you know what the Red Cross
does? Some day, Somewhere in
France" when our soldiers are in the
trenches, line of American boys will
leap over the top of their trenches,
slip through the barbed wire, and, in
face of high explosive shells, gas,
liquid fire, shrapnel, grenades, ma
chine gun and rife fire, face the barb
ed~wire in front of enemy trenches
for the bare chance of meeting bay
onet with bayonet, other boys no
more to blame for this war than they
are
You know what the loss will be-
You know that after Ypres the Prin-
cess Pats had only 1877 men alive out
Of
that day.
What of the fallen? II the Red
Cross is ready, the Ambulance Corps
Of the fighting regiments will carry
the wounded back through the COM
municating trenches to the dress
ing station. Here Red Cross sur
geons, under the direct control Of
the United States medical department
will give first aid. The wounded will
be turned over to Red Cross ambu-
lances, and carried back to the Red
Cross field hospital for immediate at
tention. From the Red Cross field
hospital, Red Cross ambulances Red
Cross trains and, in France, even Red
Cross canal boats will carry the men
back to the Red Cross base hospitals.
If the wound is not fatal a Red Cross
convalescing station will take care
of the soldier till he is ready to go
back to the front. If the man is dis
abled Red Cross steamer will bring
him back to America, and the Red
Cross receiving station here will care
for him, send him home and on top
of that look after his family after
he Is wounded just as it will have
looked after his family all the time
he has been away.
Do you know what this means?
In the old days before the Red Cross
came, 500 soldiers died out Of every
1000 wounded. Today under proper
conditions the percentage is not over
per cent.

proved disastrous notwithstanding
the splendid natural resources of the
properties involved. There are
many, many ways in which to mis-
manage mining companies, even
when intentions are sincere in the
opposite direction. To discuss even
briefly one-half of the mistakes that
contribute to such unfortunate re-
suits would require too much editor
ial space. In passing, however, we
will suggest one common and usually
fatal error. IneXperience of men
in responsible positions has wrecked
many mining companies that would
have fourished under the right kind
of officers and management. The
shortcomings that come from lack of
experience are hurtful in any bust
ness but when mining Is undertaken
they are sure to be magnified. Min
ing is kind of commercialism that
| involves most diverse branches. 1t
comprehends geology, mineralogy,
ore dressing, metallurgy, many kinds
of machinery, the handling of labor,
knowledge of various methods Of
opening and developing mine work
ings and business relations with
supply houses and custom ore-pur-
chasing concerns. Every one of
these items covers a multiplicity of
branches and details. Considering
| the subject seriously, we see that
there is as much chance for a green
horn to succeed as manager or super
intendent of mine as there would
be for lifelong miner to successful
ly conduct a large mercantile estab-
lishment. Still stockholders con-
tinue to select directors who never
saw mine, and these directors ap-
point officers and superintendent
from among their friends and rela-
tives regardless Of qualifications. 1t
Is joke. Whenever a mine does
make good in spite of such a handi-
cap, it is an exceptional property.
Reverting now to the matter of
prejudice against districts, we wish
to enter some protest Do not per-
NIT yourself to Judge a district by
its failures. Legitimate mining
might have told different stories in
the majority of these sad cases.
When we say legitimate mining we
mean not only honest and legal but
well-balanced and intelligent activi-
ties. The district itself is not at
fault always The troubles were,
perhaps, factors in the human equa-
ton. A mining district, like a"dog,
has a most difficult career after it
acquires bad name. A mine is a
mine, no matter where it is found.
1t is like gold, where you find it.
If 1t were in the most despised dis
trict it should be investigated purely
upon It's own merits. Even if neigh
boring properties have proved worth
less, a bonanza may be found. Most
of us have known splendid mines to
be established in the ruins of pre-
ceding failures. Be open to confu-
tation.-Mining American.
