The presence of one or both of these elements has been the direct cause of closing down of many a good property, to the loss and great disappointment of the owners and stockholders, and the burden of the sin is laid at the door of the mine. The first falhe step is usual'y made by the board of directors in appointing as manager a man who has had but little actual mining practice, or if he possess) this, then perhaps his business experience is very limited. The two combined are absolutely) necessary to insure success. Then Again.

If there are any doubts about the advisability of doing this, they should be dispelled at once by dis missing the man and employing another in whom they have the re quired confidence and trust. Failure is not infrequently caused by the displacing of the manager by a son, nephew or son-in-law of one of the "heaviest stockholders," who is a cigarette dude that parts his mane iu the middle, and knows all about everything except his own asinine proclivities. The placing of such timber in positions of this kind is little short of crim inal, as they have little conception ot the value of money (or anything else,) and the practice of economy is substituted by foolish extrava gence which soon depletes the treasury and wrecks the enterprise.
