WHICH IS THE FAILURE7

Statistics oft-quoted and we have no knowledge of their correctnesS-indicate that 67 per cent of mining
 ventures succeed. Bradstreet is credited with these figures, and we have never seen a
 statement from Bradstreet, dis claiming them, says Mining Truth.
 It should be remembered
 hat for, fifty years mining
 was the principal business of
 he west, and the only busi-
 ness in some sections, barring
 he mercantile establishments that arose to serve the needs of miners.
 Every great city in the West is monument to mining.
 Denver, Salt Lake, Spokane.
 Butte, Seattle, Portland, San
 Francisco, were built pr1ncip- ally by mining money; even Los Angeles and San Diego owe much of their growth to mining; although other indust- ries have contributed in larger proportion than is the case with the more northerly cities. No other industry shows such 8 large percentage of success full operations.
 A business is a success when the amount of money taken out plus the present value is greater than the amount of money originally put in. Many abandoned mining camps rep resent great mining successes; meaning that the profits of op- eration, while they lasted, were much greater than the amounts expended in. locating or purchasing the properties and extracting the ores from the ground.
 A mining company that is still operating, although it may not yet have paid any dividends, cannot be reckoned either a success or a failure. It's history is not yet written. But the silliest individual on earth is the one who takes stock in a mining, enterprise, then loses heart, refuses. to pay assessments, sees his shares. sold for delinquency, and then squawks that mining is a failure His company may later become one of the great est mining successes in the world-HE, the poor boob, is the failure.

Little things are often im- portant. There isn't much to what flappers wear, but that little is decidedly important.
 The man who starts out to do something has at least made a start. Which beats talking about starting.
 It is often good idea to let the other fellow believe he is running the job whether he is or not.
 A telegram was recently fil- ed at the radio reading as follows:

The Story of Two Villages

A. l. Shingarev found that the birth-rate in the
villages investigated, even in prosperous years,
very little above the mortality and whenever there
the slightest drop in the harvest it also drop
ped. The recent investigation gave complete pic
ture Of the situation 1t found that during the
past rs years there were five occasions when the
position of births and deaths gave the following
picture: in 1906 there were "a deaths and q Births
in 191S SO deaths and 36 births in 1916 q deaths
and 81 births in 1877 81 deaths and Is births.
Beginning with 1922 the birthrate rapidly begins
to prevail the death rate and in 1925 in Zhivo
tinnoe there were 56 births and 10 deaths. In the
history of the village for So years there
a year when the birthrate was so hight
Finally, during the nine months of 1925 there were
only deaths, but rs births
Thus, the investigation gives the full right to
state that the title given by Shingarev 'The Dying
Villages" is at the present time not applicable to us.
