exploration companies to incur risk
has stultlfied their operations and
paralyzed development. And may
add that this policy has warped the
judgment Of some otherwise brilliant
engineers. The story isstold that
Marcus Daily sent a mining engineer
ON scouting expedition; he examin-
ed many prospects without finding
anything worth while. Daily became
impatient; he slapped the engineer on
the shoulder and exclaimed For
Gods sake, man, go out and spend
some money" There Is too much of
a desire to play safe by buying mines
with large blocks of proved ore, and
to make money by means of an. en-
larged scale Of operations, increased
Skill or improved methods of metal
lurgy. The finding of ore, which is
the real adventure, Is relegated to the
background; it is not only the chief
attraction of mining, but the one
that wins the greatest reward. When

cons but with human affairs.
| The other significant word Is mines.
A mine is an excavation IN the earth's

tracted' Ii Is not company nor the

that a mine is a hole in the ground
with liar sitting on top. A promo

something he has not got to some
body who does not want il, or, il you
Fl efer, a promoter tries to sell moth
ing for something to man who ex
poets something for nothing. How
ever, these peryersions of honest bus
mess do not concern us for the NOM
ent, my subject is the reasonable
speculation that is based upon the
legitimate exploitation of mines. Per-
init me to remind you that the word
mine" was used in the arena of war
peaceful industry. 1t comes to us
through the Latin "mina," signifying
an excavation to be- used for killing
the enemy. The original sense of the
wcrd survives in "minatory," mean
ing threatening During the war we
have heard more of mines in the
North sea than of mines in Mexico,
for example, and you will allow that
those who sailed the seven seas had
TO deal much with speculation con-
corning mines and the flotation of
mines on water, reminding us of min
atory performances on the stock ex-
changes during times of peace. Now,
Ehowever, we hope soon to forget the
derivation of the word and to inter-
pet it, not in terms of malefcent ac-
tivity, but of beneficent industry.
You will note that ] have chosen
" eculatios in preference either to
Investment or gambling as the more
appropriate to mining. The use of
money in mining is seldom an in
to be so it affords an example of the
triumph of hope over experience |
ADMIT that certain forms of iron and
cCal mining on a large scale are char
acterized by such security, continuity,
and steadness of income as to be in
vestments, but the mining of the So
called base metals or of the precious
metals, in which most of you are en-
cory. In metal mining the chance of
a considerable risk and OF a CORE
spending large gain Is inherent Some
of you will demur, you win point at
the Homestake, thes Bunker Hill &
Sullivan or the Utah Copper as en-
amples of an investment, as repre-
senting type of security SO safe as
to be gilt-edged, but l venture to say
that your opinion is ex post facto, you
are writing last years almanac, you
are wise after the event. The history
of such persstently profitable mines
causes you to regard them as safe be-
for ten, twenty or thirty years. You
imagine yourself buying into such
mines soon after they had undergone
pl eliminary development and YOU
know that if you had done so at an
early date your purchase would have
proved extremely remunerative but I

velopment these splendid enterprises

Can address by T. A Richard, ed

Tiess. before the International Mining
convention at Vancouver b, c., on
March ~
The chairman Of your program
committee told me that the subject
allotted TO me was Mining as an In
vestment" | assume that he meant
the gainful use Of money in mining,
that is. the making of money through
the exploitation Of mineral deposits
not other peoples pockets However,
l deem 1t well to start by defining the
terms to be used in the present dis
cussion, because definitions are es-
sential to a correct understanding of
any subject.
Money can be employed profitably
.il three ways: Investment, specula-
: tlon, gambling. An investment looks
to income; the use of the word as
sumes the comparative safety and
stability of the principal. A specua-
ton looks to an Increase of the prin-
cipal; the use of this word suggests
the minor importance of interest in
Come or return on capital; it as
sumes not the stability, but the COM
parativelN rapid appreciation of the
principal, gamble involves a risk
50 large as to require the aid of luck;
il ignores interest or income; it an
ticipates the alternative of big win
ming or total loss.
Obviously the definition is subject
of the individual making the pur-
chase. To one man the use of money
far a certain purpose is an invest
ment to another man the same use
appears to be a speculation. Simil .
arly, one mans speculation Is anot r
mans gamble. Six years ago Mr.
Floyd George and Lord Reading, tn,
Sir Rufus Isaaes, were persuaded by
Mr. Godfrey, a brother of the present
ambassador and lord chief justice, to
buy a block OF American Marconi
shares as an investment, that is as a
steady dividend payer, Three days
after Mr.. Lloyd George had bought his
shares they rose so rapidly that he
sold them, on the urgent advice of
his broker, to whom he was disincin-
en- TO listen because his intention was
to hold the stock as an Investment.
He was then chancellor of the eXche-
quer therefore he was hauled over the
Goals for specializing; he was charged
with a levity of conduct unbecoming
the chief of the British treasury, He
replied by saying that when he bought
the shares it was his intention to hold
them Indefinitely and that the sudden
and surprising rise justified him in
selling. In short, his investment had
proved a speculation. The distinction
is In the mind of the purchaser. Sim
ilarly a Boston school teacher may
buy shares OF the Great Wildcat Ex-
tended as an investment whereas
Wall street broker recognizes that it
Is highly speculative, and a Nevadan
II ming engineer knows that it is
rank gamble. These terms are rela-
tive; they connote crescendo of
risk even an investment has slight
element of risk; a speculation has
mcre; a. gamble, most. Sometimes
stock is bought on the expectation of
a rise; it remains steady for years; it
proves to be what is called a forced

"A year ago the nation was aflame with the
spirit of democracy. orr soldiers were giving
their lives abroad for democracy. and here at

would transform our nation.

tempt that has ever been made to crush democ-

threatens some of the profits of big business.
But it is not only the Nonpartisan League

augurated by farmers that gives any promise
OF success is likewise attacked. The Equity
movement is marked for slaughter; the attempt
OF milk producers to unite is followed bv the ar
rest and prosecution of the farmer officers of
these organizations in Illinois and Ohio.
Arainst labor an especially determined attack
is made. Labor has been denied the right to or
ganize, and bargain collectively, which had been
promised even by such standpat politicians as
those who signed the Paris peace treaty. And
now the courts have denied labor even the right
to strike. And, more than that, active efforts
are being made to force the universal military
service upon the nation, so that a vast army
may be created, to crush out every manifesto
ton of industrial democracy in America, as it
was crushed out in the Germany of the Hohen-

AGAINST OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS

The Grange which is said to have a member
ship Of 5000 went on record at its recent ma
tional convention as a thoroughly r~eactionary
organization. It could not have Endorsed a more
reactionary program if the secretary Of the
United States Chamber of Commerce had writ
ten it's platform. It condemned labor as a prof
iteering element opposed to the farmers. It Ne
jected the Plumb plan and pronounced against
public ownership in any form.
No farmers organization could pronounce
against public ownership, particularly public
ownership of tha railroads. rrlers it were DOW,
erfully influenced by the great private interests.
BY doing so the Grange has placed itself in the
absurd position of voting itself out Of any voice
or power in transportation and voting the big
railroad corporations into monopolistic and au-
tocratic powers over a great public utility. It is
equivalent to refusing a partnership in a great
enterprise that effects your welfare vitality and
handing this enterprise over to your worst ex-
ploiters and oppressors. It is like refusing good
stock in your own business and voting yourself
an embicile incapable of taking part in your W
affair.
It shows what a state of abnormal thinking
and lop-sided opinion big business propaganda
is forcing on it's victims. The good old Nonparti->
san League way Of sending out hundreds of or
ganizers to visit every farmer personally and
carry on the work of education and organization
and build the New Democracy from the ground
up is all that will save the farmer and the peo-
pie from the mighty grip of monopolistic greed
in America. a

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS NOW

The drive for the Red Cross Christ
mas seals has begun. These seals are
in no way connected with the Ameri-
can Red Cross association, except in
name, which was given long before
our Red Cross was organized.
They are sold to support the cam
paign against tuberculosis in your
city and state, and the price is still
only one cent, although other Christ
mas seals r double their former
price. Business men, physicians and
lawyers will be asked to buy enough
seals to put on their December bills
and all correspondence of the month.
The campaign against tuberculosis
should appeal to you as a business
proposition, for each year it kills
twice as many young Americans as we
lost all during the war.
Do you know that each year 1000
deaths occur from this cause. in our
own state and that 1856 soldiers were
returned to North Dakota from
camps as .tuberculous, in addition to
the many rejected by our local boards
for the same cause.
tuberculosis is the most prevalent
disease in the world, but is also the
most durable disease in the world. An
other encouraging fact that we have
learned in recent years is that it is al
most never hereditary, and will be
largely preventable, when people be-
come so well Informed that they will
be able to protect themselves and 9th
ers against this enemy that is fighting
; every inch of the way, just as stub
bornly as the Germans fought over
France. Education along this line will
be furnished by our own Anti-Tuber-
ulosis State Association, which is en-
tirely dependent on the annual sale
of these seals, for funds.
Every seal sold makes possible more
education, hence more prevention and
more cures. If you believe in doing
your share in winning against this en-
envy, buy all the Christmas seals you
can.

Henderson Gains IL Pounds And Gets
Rid OF Rheumatism After TAX
ing Tanlac

II have gained exactly thirteen
pounds since I commenced taking Tan
lac, and the troubles that have been
making life miserable for me, dur
ing the past three years, have been
completely overcome" said I. A. An
derson, a well known employee of the
Washburn-C Crosby Co., and who lives
at II Western Ave., Minneapolis, re-
emily.
81 had suffered so much from rheu-
matism all through my body" he con-
tinued, "that I was just about all in
when I commenced taking Tanlac.
This trouble was so bad in my arms
that I couldn't raise my hand above
my head. Both of my legs were affect
ed, too, and I had to lose a lot of time
from my work. In addition to this, I
had a had case cf stomach trouble, and
every time I ate anything I would be
all bloated up with gas for several
hours afterwards. Sometimes I would
get so dizzy that I would have to brace
myself against something to keep
from falling. When time came to get
up in the morning, my leaders and
muscles ached so that I could hardly
get out Of bed and dress myself. I
was living in Seattle while all this
was going on, and I finally gave up
my work and came to Minneapolis,
my old home.
II was in pretty bad shape when I
got back home, and was very much
discouraged, as I had failed to get re-
lief from any of the medicines and
treatments I had been taking. Then,
l commenced to read about Tanlac. and
I heard a good many people talking
about the. good that this medicine
had done them, so I made up my mind
to give it a trial. Well, sir, the very
first bottle made a big change in my
condition, and from that time on I
just kept on improving until I had
gotten completely rid of my troubles,
and am now as well and strong as 1
ever was in my life. No more rheuma-
tism, and no more stomach troubles.
My appetite was never better, and ev-
ervthing I eat agrees with me all
right. / have gotten back my strength
and can do as much hard work in a
day as l ever could. In fact. I just feel
fine all the time, and am glad to give
Tanlac credit for it ALL"
