tent management, to insufficient cap ital and event to downright dishonesty are wholly stopped. Many of the failures which have been experienced in mining operations are due to busi- ness methods which would not be tolerated in other lines, and are not at all part of the winning of the ore from the mine. In other words, faults are attributed to ore bodies which are solely the results of improper fi- nancing, physical management or dis honesty.
 Failures Common
 Failures occur each year in many lines of business, and mining has it's share. Mining ventures in and of themselves are not more hazardous than other enterprises when from them are eliminated the troubles com- mon to all lines of business. Men who have mined in many states and in many camps through the west have seen too often mines either handi- capped and struggling along, or wholly bankrupted by some business condition that good judgment would have obviated. Too often the trained mine operator is called into consulta- tion in the capacity of coroner in stead of being retained as manager to carry on the business profitably.
 When losses and poor management have gone so far that debts are piled high and shareholders have lost inter- est, then little can be done to resus- citate the enterprise. But so it is in any line of affairs.
 Technical Advice Needed
 It is important in mining opera tions, because of the technical side of the business in the underground de- velopment, to watch carefully every step in the work. It is possible that the beginning of Encouragement and possible failure may take" place with out the knowledge of either stock holders or directors.
 Clarence King, one of our most emil nent mining engineers and the organ izer and first director of the United States geological survey, used to tell the story that at one time he receiv- ed in New York a telegram asking him if he would "cone to San Fran cisco for a half-hour's consultation for $1O00."
 Much Money Spent
 Mir. King accepted, went to San Francisco and, as a result of the con ference, it was necessary that he visit the mine. The result was that he was compelled to stay at the mine six months in order to get the operations back to the proper basis. The mine management had gone off on a wrong geological hypothesis, and had prose- cuted underground work which had cost a great deal of money and pro- duced valueless results. MT. King had to correct all this and start an

-, Although mining is fundamental Industry 4a the United States, em- ploying over, a million men and an nualln adding billions to the wealth of the nation, yet the conservative in vestor looks upon a mining invest ment as more hazardous than ven lures into other speculative fields more frequently than in the mineral industry. That this is true can be traced directly to the fact that faulty Judgment is as common as "faulted'' ore bodies or impoverished mineral deposits or even adverse physical con- Etions, .snd that the investor is more Apt to dbnsign mining investments to the outer darkness of the speculative field than to analyze the cause of failures.
 The importance of directing the at tention of mining investors to the causes of failure in the mineral in- dustry is evident when it is known that during the year 1920, according to the statistical abstract of the United States, published by the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce of the department of commerce, mining added $6,707, 100000 to the wealth of the nation and employed l. 107,461 men. Unless new capital can be readily enlisted for the develop ment of unexploited mineral deposits a basic industry will languish and economic hardship inflicted needless ly both upon the nation and the in- dividual.
 Conditions Outlined
 A successful mining operation that shall go on year after year return ing profit to the investor demands, among other important factors, first, that the directors shall be men of good business judgment, who will take pains to see that their affairs are handled always with regard to the best business principles; second, that the executives at the mine shall be experienced and reliable men-man- agers who have broad mining exper- fence and sound business judgment.
 Given a responsible, judicious and efficient management which mining deserves, in common with every other undertaking, and mine will be suc- cessful.
 Fundamentally the mining business is sound; it's troubles come from con- ditions which should not exist. Often these troubles come from assumption of mining knowledge by wholly inex- perienced men. The men venture

anu dDdHuOleu lIle enterprise.
 With a change perhaps in a few details, this experience is typical of many of the attempts to develop prof itable mines. I know of no other business where the same haphazard method of procedure would be follow ed. Men who are cautious in their own business, careful in analyZing their chances for success, and judic- ious in their selection of their exc cutives, throw judgment to the winds in making mining investments, and say, Here's where I will take a flyer,'" and kiss the money "good- bye." Such an attitude calls to mind the happy phrase used by large cop per company in it's caution to it's em- ployees: "Any fool can take a chance it takes brains to be careful"
 Mining Important
 Mining is one of the sources of original wealth, just as are agricul- ture and numbering. Mining" says J. R. Finlay, eminent economist and author, 'is the handspring of our whole industrial system" Coal and iron, gold and silver, lead, tin, copper, zinc-have become prime necessities in our daily life.
 All recognize the importance of the mining business. Moreover, many men would be interested in making large investments in mining enter prises, but they hesitate to take this step because it seems like a venture into an unknown land-a veritable terra incognita filled with financial dangers of so many kinds that suc- cess seems hopeless.
 This attitude is due, in all probabil- ity, to two conditions. In the first place, successful mining does require some special knowledge of the science of geology, and only few interested investors are trained even superficial ly in this field. Secondly, because of the lure which always has attached to mining it has been easy for un- scrupulous men to obtain money through false representations and ex- travagant promises. The combina- tiUn of these conditions has brought about rather widespread feeling that mining is highly speculative busi- ness--cne to be avoided by consecya- tive business men.
 As matter of fact, mining is much more easily carried on than is con- monly imagined. Many of the specu- lative hazards of mining are either wholly eliminated, or reduced to a minimum, if the business is under taken with the same sound business judgment and the same careful at tention to ordinary business princi- pies that the commercial fields with which most men are acquainted de- mand.

"Forbideu Fruit Splendid Picture

Cecil B. DeMille's latest Paramount
picture, forbidden Fruit" which will
be shown at the Amazon Sunday, April
2, with matinee, is said to be one of
the most sumptuous productions with
which the name of that master pro
Queer has ever been identified. The
cast is unusually excellent
The theme of the picture is a defini-
ton of "for worse" in the modern
marriage ceremony. What are wife's
duties to husband who steadily drags
her down to his own lower mental
and moral level? What course shall
a woman follow when she is offered
true love and the opportunity to climb
to new and unguessed heights.
These are the questions Mr.. De Mile
asks and answers in forbidden
Fruit" And through the story runs
the golden thread of charming ro-
nance. Forbidden Fruit" seems des-
tined to occupy high place as a dra-
matte romance. Agnes Ayres has the
leading woman's role.

BIG FEATURE PICTURE COMING
@God's Crucible- Showing at the ANA
zon Friday and Saturday.

Gods Crucible," from Ralph Con-
nor's great story, "The Foreigner" is
the big special Friday and Saturday
picture booked at the Amazon this
week
There's dynamite beneath the cabin!
Marjories wild ride had not been in
vain! Over hill and valley, through
forest and stream, she had galloped
her sturdy little pony to warn her
lover of the horrible danger that i'm
pended. And she arrived in time to
defeat fiendish plan.
Not in very long time has a pic
ture come to the screen that combines
thrills with heart interest in SO great
a degree as does this fast-moving
story of Ralph Connor's, one of the
greatest of our living authors. And
the splendid cast chosen to interpret
it does full justice to the task as
signed them.
Gods Crucible" tells a story of a
young political refugee who comes to
Canada and there, through sincere ef-
fort and downright hard work,
achieves a very great success. Prac-
tically all of the scenes are photo
graphed against the grandeur of the
snow-capped Canadian Rockies and
the production is in every sense of
the word big outdoors one breath
ing the very spirit of the open country.

4 Yorkshire Quarrel.

The Yorkshireman is canny fellow.
To show just how shrewd and cautious
Yorkshireman can be a country doc
tor who lives in that county tells the
following story in the Cornhill Maya
zine:
Two brothers, william and John
Bickerdike, had quarreled. Although
they lived almost opposite each other
in the same village, they had complete
ly ignored each others existence for
forty years. Both were men of sub
stance and position; both had excellent
characters, and both had many friends,
some Of whom had made repeated
efforts to reconcile them. But they
remained implacably hostile, as hard
as moorland boulder.
One day John fell i'll and took to
his bed; he seemed likely to die. The
friends Of the brothers were much dis
tressed and, putting their heads to-
gether, decided that they shuld make
one last effort to reconcile them to
each other. They went first to William,
who after considerable hesitation said
that he was "wilin' :" The brothers
met and broke the long silence of forty
years. They did not mention the quar-
rel, but talked pleasantly Of happy days
spent together before it took place
Finally william said he hoped that
John would go straight to heaven, and
John replied that he would meet Will
liam there when his turn came. They
shook hands warmly and babe each
other farewell. But before William
had left the house the sick man hastily
summoned him back to the bedside.
John was sitting bolt upright in bed.
"Now, William" he said very solemn
ly and impressively, snow, William,
mind we, if get better, all this is for

Memorial Planned for General Lee.

Erection Of a suitable memorial TO
Gen. Robert E. Lee in Washington, d.
c., has been provided for financially in
the will of Emerson Mcmillan, million
aire banker and Union veteran of the
Civil War, who died at his country es-
ttate near New York recently.
Mr.. Mcmillan, besides his own army
service, had FIVE brothers in the Union
army, three of whom were killed He
devoted the latter years of his life,
however, after amassing a huge for
tune and one Of the most notable art
galleries in America, to the work of
preparing for a monument to the South
ern chieftain in the national capital.
Many obstacles had to be overcome,
the first of which was the objection of
the Lee family, who did not desire any
controversy with these who might OBJ
ject to the location of such a memorial
in Washington. The consent of Con-
gress is necessary to the erection Of
monument in any Of the public parks
Of Washington, and Mr.. Mcmillan had
devoted considerable time to a study
of the question and to consultation with
friends both Of the North and of the
South.
The gift for the Lee monument will
provide for an adequate monument by
one of the nations foremost artists.
