tendent of the mine was for a number of years superintendent of the Monumental mine, bringing it to its
present producing state. He also held the OLD ARRASTRA property for twenty years because of its merits,
and retains a large interest in the new company.

INVESTORS DISCRIMINATE.
Arc Now Buying Mining Stock lotted of
Speculating on 'Change.
The rapidly-growing tendency of the
thrifty public to invest in the more
promising of the new mining conipau
lex explains, in a large measure, the
apathy ho manifest tho past summer in
the transactions on the stock exchanges,
especially in the mining share market.
Evidence la not wanting that there
has been a radical change, and that
what is universally termed stock nam
bling ha no longer the fascination of
former years for men who aspire to
wealth in the Held of speculative invest
ment. Men who have put their money
into some favorite listed stock of the
moment have been made to realize some
thing of the hazard by the manipula
tion of the cliques often awakening in
the morning possessed of what they be
lieved to be a fair investment, only to
tlnd themselves "wiped out" attheclnse
of the exchanges for the day, followed
by calls for additional margins, and if
unable to meet the demands to learn
that their account is closed. It's a nice
little game, but the broker is always a
winner, and, as a Lawsouiau aphorism
explains it, he gets all if it is played
long enough, for there is a commission
in buying and one in selling a burning
of the caudle at both ends.
A man who puts his money out of his
hands and leaves its control with the
stock manipulators is not wise.
How different with the investor in
some legitimate proposition where in
trinsic value governs, when a dollar to
day is secured by an added one tomor
row from some other investor, both go
ing into a well-deiiued system of devel
opment, whereby values are enhanced,
witli the ultimate aim of insuring profits
to be returned in dividends. His in
vestment is secure from manipulation
by professional stock gamsters, he can
I enjoy a refreshing sleep in the full be
I lief that Ilia money is safe from depreci
ation through the coming day, and the
littlo tticker that has brought sadness
and misfortune to so many has no ter
rors for him.
Of the millionaires who have won a
competency In mining investments prob
ably DO per cent have done so before the
stock manipulators began their work.
They used their means as. a legitimate
investment in some good company, and
have left the Held of speculation to those
lambs who have become infatuated by
the ticker and blackboard of the bucket
shop, and who discover, often too late,
their mistake.
Legitimate mining is as safe and much
more profitable than agricultural pur
suits, when divorced from stock gam
bling influences. Trading on margins Is
quite another thing. Tim wise should
bo able to readily discriminate. Uoston

Big Body ol Timber "Coming In'
Kast of Union, along Catherine creek
and adiacent. is a ureat timber belt that
1 will soon be brought into market. A
large amount of the land has already
been taken up and much more will be
in the near future, by homesteading
and by purchase under the timber and
stone act. The timlcr is elapsed as
among the Itest in the northwest, and is
sure to Imi maiiufacured and taken to
the markets of the world in the im
mediate future. The products of tho
timter ill all pass through Union, as
this is the uatuial outlet for it. Union
is also the logical supply point for all
that region, and when the mills begin
to hum in converting the giants of these
forests into merchantable products,
Union will receive a Ixmetit that will
make the town grow rapidly into a city
of considerable size and consequence.
