CAUSES OF FAILURE IN FIELD
 OF MINING RECEIVE ANALYSIS

their money either on their individual Judgment, or on the unsupported and unverified opinion of some miner per- sonally known to them.
 A group of Philadelphia business men invested in a mine in Colorado because one of their number was re- lated to practical miner" who had taken lease on the mine and needed capital to develop and operate it. These men advanced large sum of money without getting any confirma- tory examination or even an inspec- tion by some other man trained in the mining business.
 The practical miner" was elected persident and general manager, and the investors sat down to await the dividends that would surely begin to flow in shortly. After a long and wearisome wait, it developed that still more money was needed at the mine. Then the group in Philadelphia awoke from it lethargy and decided that one of their number must make a personal investigation of the mine.
 It was decided that the one of their group who had made the largest cash subscription to this enterprise ought to be the one to look the mine over. His particular qualification for this cor{ of or ovor,;oo of;o,, ,x,oe fb,t bo was a wealthy tailor for the fashion able men of the city.
 Investigator Fares Badly
 Pairing forth to Colorado, the tailor investigator found the mine located at a high altitude, and accessible only by packtrains of mules. He himself was taken up to the mine on horseback over a narrow trail skirting precipi- tous cliffs; the route seemed to him the last word in difficult and danger ous mountain climbing. In fact, so fearful did the tailor become in this new invironment that it was not pos sible to get him to attempt the re- turn journey, and finally, it is said, the miners sent for a doctor, who chloroformed him, so that he could be tied on a mules back and thus brought down.
 The practical miner" convinced this largest stockholder that the money was being wisely spent in the ways they were using it, and he so reported to his associates on his re- turn to Philadelphia. The additional funds were subscribed and sent to the mine office; the money was spent; more calls for cash followed, but, sec ing no likelihood for dividends, the group financing the mine lost interest
