Big Money for Mining

Evidence is increasing that
e eat new mining investment
movement is now setting in, writes
Fred L. Miner in the American
Mine Reporter, San Francisco.
That it will be of broad proper
tions and encompass in some of its
phases large investments in con-
troll of producing properties and
high grade prospects by strong
financial interests rather than Just
the ordinary market trading in
stocks is the opinion of well in
formed men who are in touch with
the trend of the times, especially
in eastern financial centers, al
though there will be very active
investing il meritorious and sub
stantial mining shares.
Silver-goId properties will prob
ably remain at the front in de-
mand for time, but there is every
indication that lead and copper
are due for very strong upward
movement in price for the metals,
which will make them fully as at
tractive from a mining standpoint
as they were at the height of the
great demand during the war.
This is an era of big things,
financially and industrially. Mil
lions are now as common business
figuring as hundred thousand
was few years ago With the ex-
pansion in size of accumulated
wealth has come an equal expan-
sion in ideas as to the size of pro-
jects that will be interesting to the
possessors of this wealth as an out
let and suitable place for energies.
They want something commensu-
rate with their financial capacity
to handle and develop. Therefore
combinations or string of big pro-
perties for development under one
organization are more attractive
than the limited scope of single
property, regardless of its produc-
tion possibilities.
1t is the evolution of the idea of
the chain of stores, packing plants,
oil wells, etc. If one of these, or
one mine. is good business, why
not more of them. as long as they
will return good profit?
Numerous big mining companies
and mining operators have been
expa nding in this way for a num-
ber of years, but the new mine IN
vestment movement apparently
will be founded on broad lines at
the outset rather than a slow ex-
pansion from a moderate begin
ming.
Such program will involve the
acquiring of producing mines as
nucleus, and then acquiring of
high-grade prospects that are near
the producing basis. In other
words, production will be the pri
mary consideration, with a strong
foundation built up upon which
further production can be assured
by a reasonable amount of devel-
opm ent on strong prospects and
| potetial mines. Daily Mining Re
