RYDER. ALASKA, Janua 30, 1920

The outside public is request ed not to send postOfiice money orders to this paper as there is no money order branch in the Hyder postoffice. Checks look good when we open our mail but greenbacks look better. Those who have already sent money orders will receive the paper and we will try to induce the post office to establish a money order branch here so that We can cash in the orders on hand.

INTRODUCING MIR. WILDCATTER

INTRODUCING MIR. WILDCATTER
 The voice of the wildcatter will soon be heard in the land.
 Already we read in outside papers glowing descriptions furnished a too gullible press by companies unknown in the north, with claims unheard of out side of the recording office.
 A mining man recently returned from Vancouver told the Miner that promot CTS were thicker in the lobby of the Vancouver hotel than second growth spruce saplipgs on an old burn. And if this is true of Vancouver, where there is less interest taken In mining than in any city of its size west of the Rocky mountains, what must be ,he situation in other cities where a real interest is manifested in the country's greatest industry!
 We have hear1 the remark that every mine was, at initial stage of it's exist ance, a wildcat This is not true. It is true sthat every mire was at some time prospect, but there is a vast difference between a prospect with well defnde surface showings of ore, which intelligent development may prove to extend to depth, and a wild cat with it's few acres of country rock, whose owner staked it because some prospects in the district were showing mp well, and whose promoters foist it upon the public with the fn knowledge that not a dollars worth of ore will ever be extracted from it
 However, we are not inclined to pity the public with too great pity. Any one who will invest his money in min ing stocks because of high-sounding name or glowing prospectus, and with out making such inquiries as any ten year-old child should have brains enough to make, is not entitled to pity.
 There is only one good thing about a wildcatter. The money he extracts from the public he generally puts back into circulation with both hands. As a rule his easiest victims are people who are so tight they wouldn't buy 8 cheese sandwich for a starving orphan but who pull their money out of the banks when told by some suave gentle. man that they can easily double it with no other effort on their part than sign. ing checks.
 Many of the companies now organiz, ing are being formed in good faith anc the money turned over to them will be expended honestly. Such companies are public benefactors. They under take mine prospecting and development work which the individual, unless he belonged in the multi-millionaire class, could not undertake. If they fail. no one is hurt much because no one has invested much. But if they develop a mine, the money taken from the ground is distributed among the many sshare holders, people of moderate means, to whom an augmented income is of some benefit.
