VICTIMS OF THEIR
 OWN FOLLY. (From Mining Truth)


 Stocks can't go up forever. Whether based on mines, banks, railroads, motorcars, they are bound to find the ceiling in any speculative mar ket, and often the drop is swifter than the ascent.
 Just now Mining Truth is re- ceiving indignant letters from non-subscribers asking why Blank Lead and Dash Gold haven't kept on going up, as the Financial Gazumpus pre- dicted. We wonder if the es- teemed Coast Banker in San Francisco gets indignant let ters from the eastern boot blacks who bought Bancitaly Corporation at $223 only to see it hit $11O this week. We wonder if the Railway Age Gazette and the Chain Store Journal and the Pacific Fish erman are called upon to alibi their respective industries ev- cry time general slump hits the stock markets
 Perhaps the comparison is unfair. We believe that the "tipster sheets" which help financial pirates hook their suckers do centralize on min ing and oil stock issues. But the indignant letters, be it not ed, always come after some 1O-cent stock has been bought for $3, and after the balloon has busted-never before.
 We seldom hear a squawk from those who have put mon- ey into the development of a prospect in the hope or belief that it will make a mine. Most of them recognize the inher- ently speculative nature of the industry. They know that the wisest engineers have not solv- ed the secret of mining ore without blasting holes. They know there's no profit in ex- tracting ore which cannot be milled or smelted. They know the hazards they are taking and they ask merely that their funds be honestly and intelli- gently administered.
 The squawks come from those avaricious simpletons who ask only "Is the price go- ing up?" and who then pay

where we started. Stocks can't. go up forever. But why should the mining and related indus tries suffer criticism when stocks go down unless the same criticism is leveled at those who operate banks, railroads, factories, power I lants and mercantile estab- ments?
