.Representative Miincv (if ioll IJeacli is (he autlior of
u measure now jiendin lie fore the state legislature, pro
viding for the ereat ion of the office of state mine examiner,
which is of intense interest to the mining industries of
Oregon. . ;
The main purport of the bill is to have an examination
made by a state official of all mining properties owned by
companies which are offering mining stocks for sale to
eastern investors, with the intent of giving such investors
an accurate statement concerning the properties which
are made the basis of a mining flotation.
The mining interests of Oregon, as well as of other
western states, have suffered greatly on account of the
disgraceful operations of some fake mine promoters,
whose misrepresentations have caused the loss of much
money by investors, usually located in the east. And not
only mining but other investment enterprises have con
sequently been affected. Several years ago the Ameri
can Mining Congress, with headquarters m Denver, be
gan a systematic agitation for suitable laws which would
make it extremely difficult for fakirs to operate with
out being in danger of heavy penalties, and nearly all of
the states have responded to its appeals for legislation.
Representative .Muncy's bill is thought by the mining con
gress to be an effective measure, and its passage is be
ing sought by all the legitimate mining interests of the
state. i
lAir years the mining congress has labored to attract
eastern and even foreign capital to the consideration of
the merits of western mining and industrial enterprises,
and one of its efforts has been to remove this obstacle to
fair profits and safety for foreign capital. This organ
ization, which represents the conservative and legitimate
mining interests of the west, with many members in Ore
gon, is confident that an increased flow of capital towards
western mining enterprises will follow the removal of a
large part of fraud and misrepresentation from mining.
The iMuncy bill provides (hat the expense of making
such examination shall be borne by the investor, or the
party asking for such examination, (he slate being put
to little or no expense in the matter. j
