When asked for an opinion on GER
tain mining stocks, Roger w. Babson
today pointed out three basic princi-
pies that should be borne clearly in
mind by any one contemplating the
purchase of this group of stocks.
THE industries engaged in produc-
ton of raw materials" observed Mr..
Babson, may be divided roughly into
three groups: Mineral. vegetable and
animal.
1.-The first group, mineral. includes
all of the various mining projects.
Fundamentally it Is the weakest
group, because the investors diVi-
dends from mining stocks come large
ly from his principal. A mining com
apples-when you take one apple
from the barrel there is one less ap-
pie in the barrel Every dividend one
gets from the stock of a mining COM
pany represents the return OF por-
ton of the principal invested. This
means that if you have a stock. for
instance, in certain mine that has d
life of thirty three and one-thlrd
years. and you receive a dividend of
6 per cent on that stock, you are
really receiving dividend OF only
per cent on your investment, the
principal.
Must Divide Dividends.
"You see, mining stock. to compare
favorably with any other kind of
stock, should pay at least or per
cent more to cover this return of
principal. The only proper way for
the investor to keep his books is to
divide the dividends he receives on
mining stocks into two portions. One
portion is to be credited to principal
and the other to interest.
There. however. is another reason
why mining stocks are different from
other stocks. When buying a mining
stock one bets on what is in the
ground. Yet one never knows what
there is in the ground until after he
has spent his money to get it out. An
admission fee must be paid before one
knows what there Is inside to see
AS IS per cent of the mining com
panies never get ore on a paying
basis and per cent are very profit

REAL ESTATE TOUR
WILL AID DISTRICT
Washington Delegates Hope
for Great Things From
Trip to Coast.

Local delegates to the San Francis
co convention Of the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards expect
to obtain important information Of
benefit to the Washington Real Es-
tate Board in its appraisal work dur
ing their trip to the coast, 1t was
announced today by John A. Petty.
executive secretary of the Washing
ton board.
Much interest from a local stand
point is attached to a conference to be
held on appraisals, because of the
fact that Thomas Bradley, vice presi-
dent Of the Washington Loan and
Trust Company. will deliver an ad-
dress on the subject and conduct the
discussion.
The appraisal of realestate. Mr.. Pet
ty stated, Is being developed as the
most scientific branch Of work in the
profession. 1t requires especial abil-
ity that can only be acquired by con-
slant study and CONTACT with city's
development. together with years of
experience in general real estate
lines. While the basic principles I'M
DERIVING the appraisal of real estate
are fundamentally the same every
where the degree to which these prin-
ciples are applied in practice is
measured almost entirely by local
conditions.
Certificates of Appraisal.
This line of work has been receiv-
Association of Real Estate Boards
through its national committee on ap-
praisals. Oficial appraisals by real
estate boards are being recognized
and accepted throughout the country
as the best means Of obtaining expert
opinion on real estate values. This
is easily understood when it is con-
sidered that a certificate of a real
estate board represents an appraise-
ment arrived at afer careful consid-
Grafton by committee of practical
and experienced realtors who disin-
terestedly study each property ap-
praised and arrive at conclusion
tire committee.
The value of having recognized
sources from which expert opinion
can be produced in a formal certifi-
cate of an organization consisting of
experts. is becoming known in all
communities. This work is of special
benefit in the matter of adjusting in
come taxes where real estate values
are involved. as well as the adjust
| ment of inheritance taxes which are
| boards throughout the country are
frequently called on for official ap-
| praisals in connection with the .ad-
! ministration and distribution of es-
tates.
Representatives of the appraisal
committee Of the local board will at
ltend the conference on appraisals and
participate in it's discussion. The
| fact that the Washington board rank
| ed sixth with all boards throughout
the country in the development. of ap-
| praisal work during the past year
| will give considerable prestige to the
| local delegation.
Entertainment Plans Extensive.

California to the effect that extensive
| entertainment plans are nearing COM
pletion at San Francisco.
, California's realtors are beginning
l to understand, 1t Is stated, that they

able. this is gambling to the nth de-
gree.
Most Speculative Class.
Mining securities. for these rea
sons, represent the most speculative
class of stocks, although most peo-
pie do not appreciate this fact. A
Methodist who does not believe in
playing cards may buy mining stocks
and it is considered perfectly all
right. He would, however, get far
better mental training If he played
poker. and in many instances his per-
centage of loss would be less.
II do not mean to infer" continued
Mr.. Babson, that mining stocks as a
class should not be purchased. only
that they should not be bought on a
hit-or-miss basis. The copper in
dustry, for instance. is absolutely
legitimate, as farming, building o,
operating a water power: it is here
to stay. When you buy an interest
in the copper industry you are get
ting into a legitimate business in d
legitimate way. The distinction be-
tween buying into the industry in
stead of buying stock in single
company must, however, be KEPT
clearly in mind.
Eighteen Lead in Copper.
There are several thousand differ.
ent copper mining STOCKS on the mar
ket today, and yet eighteen of these
companies produce so per cent of the
copper. By buying the stocks of these
eighteen companies you can have ar
interest in so per cent Of the indus
try. The point is this: If you put
say. $500 into these eighteen com.
panies. you are not betting on any
one company. You are buying an in.
terest in the copper of America. anC
the value of your stock depends moi
on whether copper is found here OIL
there. but rather on the price Of cop
per as determined by the law of sup.
ply and demand.
This particular group Of stocks
representing the industry. naturally
f1uctuates with it. With a great sur
plus of copper on the market. as wa:
the case last year. the stocks go to tn,
low levels That is the time to blu!
your interest in the industry. If yol
hold these stocks until the surplus i!
absorbed and the price of copper goe!
up, these securities increase in price
