If by human activity or tho corrosion

It Ih the common mistake among
promoteiH in compiling prospect iim's
mid furnishing the investor data re
garding their properties, to dilate
unnecessarily upon scieiitlllc details
without giving a hiilllelcnt amount of
commercial Information. The In
vestor does not give a whit about
sclent lllo descriptions or llowery
language. He wants plain, substan
tial facts. Speaking along this Hue,
tho Mining and Sclentillo Press, says:
"What the iuteudiug Investor in

metal the ore contains, the amount of
ore available, the cost of mining and

the geneslfi of tho ore deposit; how
the gold or nllver or copper or other
metals came Into the ore. He wants
to know how to get it out in the'
Mhortest possblle time at the least
possible cost. If promoters' reports
dealt more with substantial, perti
nent facts and less with fancy and
unnecessary scientific information,
