Ymt who measure gains in mercantile pursuits by tliu Hxed ratio of tlio buying and relling price; you who have thoslin pie scale of interest on money loaned ; you who huy land, hliild houses, and Ik come renting landlords, or you who would take the forms where chance en tern more largely, an imhiHtrial, railroad or other Htock, or buying and selling the cereals all are asked to view in unpre judiced light mining. There can lw no more legitimate in vestment than mining. We mean here mining, real, intelligent mining, such as make, producers and operates them. A miner's gain In no one's lost). He takes nothing from the pocket of his brother, but from God Almighty' hand. Cone petition, bruising, grinding, murdering coii)etition is unknown to the gold miner. He locates or buys his mine, Informing a duty urged by tho govern ment, or paying valuo received. He de velops it, helping his brother by giving him employment and consuming his produce. His metal extracted, coinimti tion does not enter into the sale, for it is always in demand and at a fixed fig lire. Trusts manipulate and water indus trial anil railroad stocks. Real estate Ixjoms go and come. Manufacturing is nipped in the prime by centralized coin lotion. Bonds are sure, but dreadfully slow. Mortgages do not always secure. There are a thousand besetting evils to all investments, except a gold mine. Mining has been given a pall of preju dice by leason of fraud. Men, pretend ing to own a prujMjrty, have secured tnoney to waste where there were plain ly no values to be secured. Others, hav ig a good proerty, have squandered money in oxtravagaut and criminal man agement. Too many, with no knowledgu of the vocation, have poured money into the ground to reach a ledge, which any intelligent mining man would discount enancu. Investors are sometimes to blame in other resects. They put a dollar into a mine, expecting the follow ing day ten In return. They do not re alize the time required to develop and oK!ii a mine, and often leave the Held disgusted before work has progressed to that stage testing the merits of their property. These are causes for intense prejudice. Prejudice is foolish. View in its true light everything, elce you may lose a golden opportunity. lew mining so llu assured of honest management, he assured of competency, (hi informed on time necessary for operations. Gold is in millions of ledges; there are safe guides to it. Kijuip yourself for an in telligent, faithful search and mining is the safest and most fascinating form of investment found today.
