The following from the Salt Lake Min-1

by publishers more than by the public:

GRAHAM
I he Mining Review is frequently in re-
ceipt nl letters from various sections of the
country, but principally from the east, ask-
' mining companies and individual opera
tors. The intelligence sought for is gen
erally of a personal cliaracter, pertaining I
1 to the history and legitimacy of the enter-
prises In question. This paper cannot act
as umpire, sponsor or judge of any man or
. set ot men, nor has it the inclination to
I assume the prerogative of ascribing fair or
dishonest motives to anyone, and will
therefore abrogate the right to criticise or
comment unfavorably on any murine
project, large or small, unless fraud and I
attempt to deceive peo I here or abroad
is palpable and apparent. So long as '
ground, not liable to litigation, Is being
cnrrvrliV.illv :. -ntiliimnu..U unrU-.l l '
is liable to become valuable. So far as
thepuuhase ot miningslocksisconcerned, 1
Obtain as acairate an estimate as possi-1
ble of the personnel of the officers of the
company, and the moral haard and ca-
padty associated with them, because the
management should r efficient and quail-
tied, as well as honest. Learn what the
property Is capitalized for and the amount,
if any, of debts or Incumbrance that may
cxst and then, when you have familiar-
rd yourself with the situation, proceed
cautiously, because, In sporting parlance,
"with an even break" the risk in stock-
bu iug is great enough.
Your Winter's Wood. I
I have for sale several hundred cords of j
seasoned wood for immediate delivery. 1
I also own and run the steam saw. Leave
your orders In either case at Johns &
