The Daily Milling Uecord says
"It is .in iiii(lini;il)le fact tliat most
iullii' mini Imihi rifss men of the
world have turned their attention
to milling, the source of nearly all
wealth; ir permum who have been
enslaved to the i'lea that the only
safe proposition whs a (i v per cent
or six per c nt H'-nnity, now rea
lize th"t many millions f intoiest
have bcni lout to tln'in through
heeding the adviiv of tli"He interes
ted in cheap money, and that
aui"iig hanking insl itutions of
the west, iglitccu nnd twenty por
rent pi r annum in no otHidored a
haaii!otiH western profit or execu
tive dividend on the great majority
of our gilt edged mining necuritie",
and further, tin.- licheM men in the
W'nild are mining king, many of
whom have ;;rovn powciful enough
I In 1 1 Vj the piopi-r application of
originally " moderate cupital, and it
is piovi-ii that while millions of
doll ii. ha v" lu cii lost in railroad,
f.u in linn tgagc.s, asicrn industriiil
and budding associations, the
Aiin'i ieim mining industry steadily
advances, making enormous profits
for i t m hiijipoi teiM. building great
states an I citiis and points with
pride to the American possession
of mines tint liuvo puil in div
idend's over f-125.tMIO.OOO.
'In mining in vestments extreiuo
y 1 r siin iiintH are not necessary
to make oiu micccsKful, for the man
of modi rate means, properly ad
vised, has opportunities of quickly
doubling his cupital. Under incor
poration gieat achievement!! are
made possihlo through combining
limited Minis vi thousands, thus
equaling the capital of the individ
ual millionr. iiH, making possible iri
gantic undettakingH that are pro
duetivof enormous revenuo. The
dollar of the man of moderate
means is equally as powerful as the
dollar ol tho money king. Both
nerve their purpose; both are en
titled to their proportionate profits.
"In legitimate mining a twenty
five per cent dividend is not con
sidered Htartling and tho mining in
terests of the west are willing to
pay that interest for the uso of
money, for by tho aid of capital
they open up tremendous ore
bodies that lead to still greater
fortune. Tho employment of $10,
000 in mining is the equivalent of
40,000 in most any other branch
of industry.
"For yems the wondrous profits
of the metal industries have bom
whispered among investors, who
uppare ntlv weio afraid to lit their
neighbors" know they were identified
with mining, but the otTorts of the
financial czars of the world in form
ing combinations to control first
tho markets of the miners through
the 'smelting tiusf and then the
mines tnroiigh the 'Amalgamated
Copper trust' have opened the eyes
of the conservathe and modem iu
vestois and they ure makiDg efforts
to obtain their shaio of the metallic
wealth which nature has spread bo
lavishly.
"Nature has laid her treasures
in the mountain recesses of the
"West. The American miner searches
them out. Eastern money makes
possible their conversion into bul
lion and tho joint results of the
minf.r find the canitulists make pos
sible the tremendous profits that
. 11
signalize succcssrui mining.
