FACTS ABOUT MINING.
There On Not Be a More Legitimate
Investment.
A thought on mining asau investment.
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. Western Mi
