that the same caution be exercised In
selecting your mining stock as would
be exacted of any other form of legit-
innate investment.
Four things are vital in choosing
mining stocks The tonnage OF ore
available; the cost of production; the
ability to market the product at a
profit; the character and competency
of the men in charge of operations.
There are different kinds of mines.
Properties containing a large tonnage
of ore in well defined veins or lodes.
and Of medium or low grade, are gen.
orally the safest for long swing in
yestment Mines containing rich ore
pockets scattered at irregular intervals
often are profitable but never lend the
same degree of security for the future,
and therefore should be accepted by
investors only after exhaustive invest
igation.
Speculative Buying.
| There also is the speculative phase
of mining, wherein the investor buys
stock in prospect" with the expec-
tation that an exploration of the prop
erty will result in the development Of
mine. Here the risks are infinitely
greater, but success in this direction
Is certain to lay the foundation of a
future fortune.
In buying stock in prospect" 1t
Is of extreme Importance that these
requirements be fulfilled: Cd Record
and responsibility of the promoters.
ca Location of property and it's prox-
unity to profitable mines. (3) Sur
face indications and probability Of ex-
istence of an ore body. (4) Character
of probable ore and ability to extract
it at a profit. 60 Capitalization of
company and number Of shares to be
sold. co Previous record of COM
pany's engineer and his opinion on the
property in question.
A good property and a good man
agement bespeak success in mining
and successful mining enterprise Is
the finest, cleanest and most profitable
investment institution in the world
today.
Like all forms of investment min
ing embraces an element of risk. But
failures are less frequent, according to
government statistics, than among
other substantial lines of industry
which, for some unexplainable reason
have escaped the stigma that has sc
unwarrantedly attached itself to this
great and growing arm of commercial
life.
There are many soft spots in the
current summer markets. This situa-
ton should be taken advantage of by
investors, as the customary resumption
Of buying in the fall should be fol.
lowed by higher prices generally.

RATES TO POINTS SOUTH
SUBJECT OF INQUIRY

For the purpose OF securing evil
dence for the presentation to the In
terstate Commerce commission, Exam
fner Gibson, of that body, yesterday
conducted a heartny IN the Federal
building here of the case of the State
Corporation commission against the
Southern railway and others, which
was brought by the state of Virginia
to secure an adjustment of freight
rates from Virginia points to the
south, in order that merchants in this
state can compete with Middle West
shippers,
Some time ago several railroads in
the state changed their rates for in
terstate shipping to sucn figures that
goods from Virginia would cost
Southern merchants more, on account
of the freight. than If they had been
shipped from Middle West cities, So
apparent was this injustice to the
pealed to the State Corporation com
mission for relief. That body
through Attorney General Pollard
brought the case against the railroad
TO the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. The hearing was called for yes
terday in order that evidence might
be taken to bring 10 the attention oil
the commission.
When the action was taken By the
state In this matter. it was Joined by
the chambers of commerce of Rich
mond. Norfolk. Petersburg and Roa-
noke. which were represented yester
day by r. B., James. an attorney. OF

The states course. which was the
first of it's kind undertaken In Vir-

heavy demand for such nurses could
be more adequately met.
The course lasted for six weeks, and
was under the direction of Mrs. Jane

OF health. Lectures we're procured
from Richmond and other cities to
discuss the various medical. sanitary
and social aspects OF public health
nurses. Field Investigations were also
made in collaboration with the vari-
Gus charities and social organizations
of Richmond.
When the course was completed.

if they would accept positions for
which their studies had shown them
qualified. In few instances. the
nurses reported that they could not,
